orchideeën stonden in volle glorie op de kraampjes.En: Colorful tulips, fragrant roses, and exotic orchids stood in full glory on the stalls.Nl: Bram liep er wat verloren rond, zijn ogen vol bewondering, maar ook met een vleugje verwarring.En: Bram wandered around somewhat lost, his eyes full of admiration but also a touch of confusion.Nl: "Er is zoveel keuze," mompelde hij tegen zichzelf terwijl hij zijn handen diep in zijn zakken stak.En: “There is so much to choose from,” he muttered to himself as he shoved his hands deep into his pockets.Nl: Bram was op zoek naar een verjaardagsgeschenk voor zijn moeder.En: Bram was looking for a birthday gift for his mother.Nl: Ze hield van tuinieren en bloemen, dat wist hij zeker.En: He knew she loved gardening and flowers.Nl:

"Misschien kun je een mix van verschillende bloemen nemen?" stelde ze voor, maar Bram zuchtte.En: “Maybe you could get a mix of different flowers?” she suggested, but Bram sighed.Nl: "Ze heeft vast al zoveel verschillende bloemen," antwoordde hij, terwijl hij verder stond te staren naar een kraam vol met kleurrijke potplanten.En: “She probably already has so many different flowers,” he replied as he continued to stare at a stall full of colorful potted plants.Nl: "Ik wil iets bijzonders vinden, iets dat ze nog niet heeft."En: “I want to find something special, something she doesn't already have.”Nl: Sanne glimlachte begrijpend.En: Sanne smiled understandingly.Nl: Ze kende Bram goed genoeg om te weten dat hij pas tevreden zou zijn met iets echt speciaals.En: She knew Bram well enough to know he wouldn't be satisfied until he found something truly special.Nl: “Kom,” zei ze.En: “Come,” she said.Nl: “Laten we verder kijken.”En: “Let's keep looking.”Nl: Terwijl ze hun weg baanden door de stromen van toeristen en plaatselijke bloemenliefhebbers, voelde Bram zich geleidelijk aan steeds meer onder druk staan.En: As they made their way through the streams of tourists and local flower enthusiasts, Bram gradually felt more and more pressured.Nl: Zijn moeder's verjaardag naderde snel en hij was nog steeds niet verder gekomen met zijn besluit.En: His mother's birthday was approaching

had gekocht, omdat ze moeilijk te vinden was.En: His mother had once mentioned it, a flower she found beautiful but had never bought because it was hard to find.Nl: "Dit is het," fluisterde Bram,

approvingly.Nl: "Een uitstekende keuze," zei ze, waarderend voor Bram's oog voor detail.En: “An excellent choice,” she said, appreciating Bram's eye for detail.Nl: Bram kocht de orchidee met een gevoel van opluchting en opwinding.En: Bram bought the orchid with a feeling of relief and excitement.Nl: Hij was blij dat hij naar Sanne had geluisterd en tegelijkertijd zijn eigen instinct had gevolgd.En: He was glad he listened to Sanne and at the same time followed his own instincts.Nl: Terwijl zij de markt verlieten, voelde Bram zich tevreden met zijn keuze.En: As they left the market, Bram felt satisfied with his choice.Nl: “Hartelijk dank voor je hulp, Sanne,” zei hij.En: “Thank you so much for your help, Sanne,” he said.Nl: “Jij weet echt altijd hoe je me moet helpen.”En: “You always know how to help me.”Nl: “Graag gedaan,” antwoordde Sanne eenvoudig.En: “You're welcome,” Sanne replied simply.Nl: “Ik ben blij dat we iets moois voor je moeder hebben gevonden.”En: “I'm glad we found something beautiful for your mother.”Nl: De les voor Bram was duidelijk.En: The lesson for Bram was clear.Nl: Goede vrienden geven helder advies, maar soms moet je ook op je eigen gevoel vertrouwen om de juiste beslissing te nemen.En: Good friends give clear advice, but sometimes you also have to trust your own feelings to make the right decision.Nl: Met de zeldzame orchidee in zijn handen en Sanne aan zijn zijde, liep Bram de markt af, klaar om een liefdevolle verrassing voor zijn moeder te brengen.En: With the rare orchid in his hands and Sanne by his side, Bram walked off the market, ready to bring a loving surprise to his mother.

How much would you pay for the gloves Abraham Lincoln was wearing when he was assassinated?

Are you tired of feeling like life is happening to you instead of for you?   This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast dives deep into the transformative power of taking 100% responsibility for every aspect of your life – your thoughts, beliefs, choices, and outcomes in health, wealth, and legacy.   Randy and Greg break down the empowering concept that responsibility is simply your "ability to respond."   Discover how shifting from a mindset of blame (blaming others, society, parents) to one of personal accountability can liberate you from the frustrating pursuit of certainty in an ever-changing world.   Learn to: Recognize and challenge programmed beliefs that limit your potential. Get in the "driver's seat" of your life, making conscious choices. Separate feelings from facts to make logical, empowered decisions (as Greg shares from his weight loss journey). Understand that "no one is coming to save you" – your success and well-being are in your hands. Apply these principles to your finances (challenging reliance on external systems like Social Security) and your health (questioning mainstream narratives). This episode is for anyone ready to stop being a passenger and start becoming an active creator of their own life.   If you're looking for hope, practical strategies to overcome the victim mentality, and the discipline to build a fulfilling future, this conversation is a must-listen.   Take responsibility, embrace your ability to respond, and start building the rich life you desire today.   Ready to take your life to the Next Level?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHVisitGreenvilleSC.com/Things-To-Do/Winter/We meet Leah and Graham. Leah is Jewish but has always loved the idea of Christmas, so when Graham invites her to celebrate Christmas with his family and meet his parents, she jumps at the chance.First, they visit her parents for a Hanukkah celebration, and it's a great time. Graham, however, warns her not to expect too much when they visit his family—just in case she's disappointed. But when they arrive at his parents' house, it's a full-on Christmas wonderland. Leah is blown away—it's everything she'd hoped for.But then… Graham's mom happens. She's super serious, very intense about her schedule, doesn't allow anyone to just rip open presents, and insists on fancy Christmas pajamas instead of fun ones. Leah quickly realizes that Graham's mom is going to make things… difficult. Case in point: she even asks Leah to change her Christmas sweater.The tension builds as Leah continues to clash with Graham's mom, and Graham finds himself awkwardly stuck in the middle—handling it poorly, to say the least.Leah's big moment arrives during the gingerbread house competition. She absolutely crushes it, complete with a smoking chimney. And it's clear that Graham's mom is not amused. Leah turns to Graham, like, Why didn't you warn me to let your mom win? And Graham just shrugs and says, Maybe I didn't want her to win!The awkwardness keeps escalating. Leah accidentally breaks some vases that Graham's ex-girlfriend, Julia, made and sold at a Christmas market. And then—of course—Julia shows up to hang out. AWKWARD.Things go from bad to worse when Leah's snowman is less than Pinterest-perfect. Graham tries to lighten the mood with a snowball fight, but Leah accidentally nails his mom in the face. Yikes.Later, Graham tries to reassure Leah, telling her he wants her to stay. But then things get even weirder when his sister announces she's dropping out of business school to start an artisanal pickle company. The family is not thrilled. And to top it all off, Graham's dad drops a bombshell, saying he's been waiting for Graham to return home and join the family bank.After dinner, Graham brushes it off: Oh, my dad always says stuff like that. Don't worry, I'm not moving.On Christmas Eve, Graham gives Leah… a gift basket. She's like, Oh, this is… nice. Meanwhile, she's gone all out, giving him a memory book filled with every single date they've ever been on.But then, a twist: Graham's mom suddenly does a 180 and starts showering Leah with praise, calling her so wonderful. Even Julia apologizes for overstepping. Things are really turning around for Leah!Except… she can't find Graham anywhere. She uses Find My Friends and sees he's at the general store. When she gets there, she's stunned to see her parents are there too.They all end up back at Graham's family's house, where Graham announces, I didn't just get you a gift basket for Christmas—I also got you this. And then, boom—he pulls out a ring and proposes! Big kisses, big celebration.The next morning, everyone wakes up on Christmas Day and celebrates together as one big, happy family.

While I was on an outreach during a short-term mission trip to Peru, a young man asked me for money. For security reasons, my team had been instructed not to give out money, so how could I help him? Then I recalled the response of the apostles Peter and John to the lame man in Acts 3. I explained to him that I couldn’t give him money, but I could share the good news of God’s love with him. When he said that he was an orphan, I told him that God wants to be his Father. That brought him to tears. I connected him with a member of our host church for follow up. Sometimes our words can feel so insufficient, but the Holy Spirit can empower us as we share Jesus with others. When Peter and John came across the man by the temple courts, they knew that sharing Jesus was the greatest gift ever. “Then Peter said, ‘Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk’ ” (v. 6). The man received salvation and healing that day. God continues to use us to draw the lost to Him. As we search for the perfect gifts to give this Christmas, let’s remember the true gift is knowing Christ and the gift of eternal salvation He offers. Let’s continue to seek to be used by God to lead people to the Savior.

It's that time of year when we're choosing gifts to give for Christmas. And as the hero of the holidays, Jesus deserves our finest gift. But what could that be? In this timely message, Pastor Max Lucado shows us what Jesus really wants from us this Christmas.
