{quotes}
Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength.
Pearl S. Buck
It goes by fast.
The moment is just before you start. After that things can only get better.
Stephen King
When enough is said, say nothing.
When you think the road is coming to an end, God makes a bending. Beyond that bend is a new beginning.
Faith is what makes life bearable, with all its tragedies and ambiguities and sudden, startling joys.
Madeleine L’Engle
{blessings}
Make the Call
Make the call you’ve been putting off. Don’t relegate it to a text or an email. Pick up the phone so they can hear your voice. May you be blessed to make a meaningful connection today.
Honest Day
Get your hands dirty. God asks you for an honest day of hard work. Give it joyfully and you will be blessed.
Ambition and Drive
Is what you’re doing today getting you closer to where God wants you to be tomorrow? May you be blessed with ambition and drive.
Confidence
There’s a secret to being beautiful, radiant, and more attractive. Confidence is the rarely acknowledged virtue that changes you and changes your life. May you be blessed with a new sense of self. Stop comparing yourself to others and own your inner strength. It’s there waiting for you to claim it.
Honest Discourse
Speak the truth – it’s your super power. Honesty is Godly, lies and half-truths are not. When you live in honest discourse you learn to think carefully before speaking – and when you do speak, you become more thoughtful in how to express yourself with kindness. Try it. May God bless you with holiness in speech and deed.

Fear of Money
Dear God, Ease my fear of money. I am afraid because I don’t have enough. I am afraid that I am obsessing over it. I am afraid that I am asking You for material solutions for problems not of Your making. I pray for a healthy balance between my financial fear and my willingness to bring about my own financial freedom. Amen
Gift of Your Presence
Dear Lord, I raise my face to You. You who has sustained countless generations with the steadiness of Your love, with the strength of Your wisdom. You are the blood that unites us. You are the pulse that revives us. You are where we begin, where we end, where we we are now. I look to You and feel soul-bursting gratitude for Your blessing on my family and the gift of Your Presence which is always within and around us. amen

Touched by God’s Love
Dear God I ask Your blessing upon all who enter my life today. May they feel Your love as they interact with me, hear Your love when I speak and leave my presence knowing they have been touched by Your love. Guide me to see, feel and love the way You do. Not only with those who are pleasant and good but with those who are angry and have lost their way. Remind me that everyone I encounter today is made beautifully and lovingly by You. amen

Be strong. Be courageous. God is with you.
Better than 100 years lived in ignorance, without contemplation, is one single day of life lived in wisdom and in deep contemplation. Better than 100 years lived in idleness and in weakness is a single day of life lived with courage and powerful striving. Better than 100 years not considering how all things arise and pass away is one single day of life if one considers how all things arise and pass away. Better than 100 years not seen one’s own immortality is one single day of life if one sees one’s own immortality.
