{quotes}
A father’s heart is God’s masterpiece.
God gives God-sized dreams to people with God-shaped hearts.
Erwin McManus
If you are facing the right direction all you have to do is to keep walking.
Unanswered prayers are a Divine delay, not a Divine denial.
Today’s difficulty moves you up in line for tomorrow’s delight.
Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.
Rabindranath Tagore
{blessings}
Trust
It’s a whole lot harder to build trust than it is to destroy it. May you be honest and truthful in all of your relationships and business dealings. Your word is a reflection of God’s Word, make it worthy.
Pay Attention
Don’t be that person who takes a walk in nature and thinks only of what will be served for dinner. The one who attends a symphony with a mind on business. The one who spends time in conversation but never listens. May God bless you with holy concentration on the sights, sounds and souls all around you.
Peaceful Life
It’s going to be OK. Close those eyes. Stop that mind. Say your prayers. May God bless you with peace of mind and a peaceful life.
Behind the Scenes
Thank God for working behind the scenes, aligning the right people and opportunities for your future happiness. Expect that miracle you’re praying for. Act like your blessing is on the way – because it is. God delivers.
Aging Gracefully
Aging is not lost youth. It’s a new stage of opportunity and strength. May God bless you as you grow older and wiser. May God bless you as you become confident and assured. May God bless you as you age gracefully.
Betty Friedan (adapted)

Drinking from My Saucer
I’ve never made a fortune and it’s probably too late now. But I don’t worry about that much, I’m happy anyhow. And as I go along life’s way, I’m reaping better than I sowed. I’m drinking from my saucer, ’cause my cup has overflowed. Haven’t got a lot of riches, and sometimes the going’s tough. But I’ve got loving ones around me, and that makes me rich enough. I thank God for his blessings, and the mercies God’s bestowed. I’m drinking from my saucer, ’cause my cup has overflowed. O, Remember times when things went wrong, my faith wore somewhat thin. But all at once the dark clouds broke, and sun peeped through again. So Lord, help me not to gripe about the tough rows that I’ve hoed. I’m drinking from my saucer, ’cause my cup has overflowed. If God gives me strength and courage, when the way grows steep and rough. I’ll not ask for other blessings, I’m already blessed enough. And may I never be too busy, to help others bear their loads. Then I’ll keep drinking from my saucer, ‘Cause my cup has overflowed.
George McPhee
Doubt
Lord, Why this doubt? Doubt in my work abilities, in the appeal of my body’s plush form, whether goodness will come in tomorrow’s sunrise. Doubt whether I’m doing all I should for my children, whether I’m really the best I can be for my partner. Am I truly the best me? Alleviate this doubt. Help me trust in my work abilities, in the beauty that is me, that I am doing my best for my children and my partner and goodness indeed shall come. I trust You to help me deal with my doubt. Refill my soul with confidence and love. I know You will. I don’t doubt it one bit.
Spiritual Growth
Help me grow. Not in inches or feet, not by height or width. Lord be with me as I pray my way to spiritual growth. Amen
No Limits
God Almighty You move in amazing ways, You have no limits! I trust in Your plan. May it be Your will to bless me with favor. Amen
Eater’s Prayer
Thank You God for the food we are about to eat. May we always be appreciative of the variety of flavors, the freshness and the pleasing smells of our nourishment. Help us resist the temptation to overeat. Give us willpower to avoid unhealthy food and drink. Praise to our Provider.
