1. Rejoice with Mary as she would rejoice with you. Be blessed, like her, with humility from God, so that you may serve joyfully and willingly wherever and in whatever role God has placed you.
  2. For with God we look not for the order of nature, but rest our faith in the power of him who works.
  3. The good news is that with our God there is always more: more than we deserve, dare, ask, or expect, more than we can see, hear, feel, or think.
  4. The reason that God’s commandments are not burdensome is that Jesus has fulfilled them.
  5. The love mentioned in 1 John 4:15-21 fourteen times (!) is a love that needs no apology but is determined at all times to sacrifice for the other.
  6. We can appreciate what we have received from God, we can receive it all as free gift, but only when we stop investing in fool's gold.
  7. We need to hear the gospel because it is good news that is not from you, or about you, or because of you.
  8. “There,” the Queen said, “That’s so much better than talking, isn’t it?”

  10. Finding the balance between indifferentism and obsessiveness has never been easy, and it’s especially difficult in our environment.
