Sometimes the deepest wisdom comes in the simplest form: I am third. When we place faith first, others second, and ourselves third, our relationships shift from self-focused to life-giving. It's not just advice—it’s a way to live.
Character isn’t proven in the spotlight—it’s revealed in the struggle. If you want to know who someone really is, don’t just watch how they succeed. Pay attention to how they respond when everything feels hard.

Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. With the right mindset—and a few practical shifts—you can trade stress for gratitude and make space for real connection.
