Beauty
If eyes were made for seeing, then beauty is its own excuse for being.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let Go
Instead of fretting about getting everything done, why not simply accept that being alive means having things to do? Then drop into full engagement with whatever you’re doing, and let the worry go.
Martha Beck
Mystery
I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Kindness
Kindness is always fashionable.

Life Everlasting

William James
{prayers}
Filled With Faith
Dear God, fill me with faith. If my will to change is strong and I do all I can to make it so, faith will bring me through any challenge.
Spirit of Repentance
I come to you in a sincere spirit of repentance. Good deeds done in this world are greater than any pleasure here and now and in the world to come. May I be forever forgiven, blessed, and guided by You, O Holy One!
Uniquely Yours
I offer a prayer for the wild ones—those who grow and are a bit off-kilter. They are the ones with a different perspective—the fun ones. They don’t fit the mold, nor do they want to. They are uniquely themselves, uniquely Yours, uniquely Me. Thank you, God, for in the making of humankind, You did us right.
Giver of Smiles
May the light of my soul shine brightly and Your revelation enlighten me. Praise to You, for You are with me. Thanks to You, for You are the giver of smiles, joy, and blessed contentment.
Dignity
Dear God, help me preserve my dignity for as long as I live. I have spent a lifetime building my character, living honorably, and doing as You ask. May it be Your will that the years ahead be plentiful and spent in good health, fulfilling Your promise.
{bible affirmations}
