Here’s a thought for today that was inspired by someone I met the winter of 2016 while working at a homeless shelter in the Fargo-Moorhead Community.

Allow LOVE – love for yourself, your family, your friends, and the love of all those who care about you to be STRONGER than the depression, the anxiety, the fear. Let the power of LOVE to be STRONGER than the bottle, the needle, or the pipe. You are LOVED – allow that love to surround you and protect you like a shield. Let the EXTENSION (and expression) of that LOVE be your sword to battle addiction, hatred, or fear!
