{quotes}
Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
Never assume that loud is strong and quiet is weak.
If you ever get the chance to treat them the way they treated you, I hope you choose to walk away and do better.
Najwa Zebian
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
Henry Ward Beecher
If prayer were available in a pill form, no pharmacy could stock enough of it.
Dr. Dale Matthews
Don’t let your “yuck” spoil someone’s “yum”
{blessings}
Godly Planning
Poor preparation leads you to a last-minute frantic frenzy. May you be blessed to value proper planning and may your efforts bring good and Godly results.
Instrument of God
You are an instrument of God. Don’t ever think you are more. Never believe you are less. Let God play beautiful melodies through you. Be a blessing to others and touch their souls with song.
Equals
Woman came out of man’s rib, not from his feet to be stepped on, not from his head to be lorded over, but from his side to be his equal. Eve emerged from under Adam’s arm to be protected and she became whole next to his heart – to be loved. May God bless you with a good relationship where you are both equal partners in love and understanding.
Pay Up
Debt is a dreadful state of being…unless you’re talking about Divine debt, then it’s delightful! You owe it to God to pay back all the blessings you’ve received over the years by being a blessing to others. Serve the Lord in service to worthy causes and folks who need your help. Pay up.
Time Eternal
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those rejoicing, but for those who love, time is eternity. May God’s blessings for you be eternal.
{prayers}
Faithful Gathering
God we thank You. You inspire us to grace and gratitude from haughtiness to holiness. from selfishness to service. from lack to abundance. Together Your faithful souls will gather in Your Name and sing Your praise. Hallelujah!
In the Way
Dear God, I cannot love you the way I want to. You are the slim crescent of a moon that I see and my self is the earth’s shadow that keeps me from seeing the moon. What I am afraid of, dear God, is that my self shadow will grow so large that it blocks the whole moon. I do not know You God because I am in the way.
Flannery O’Connor
Touched by Favor
Dear God, One touch of Your favor can change everything. I pray for transformation if it be Your will. Amen
Lord of the Believers
Lord of the strong and of the weak. Of the brave and the cautious. Lord of the believers and doubters. Some of us are happy today, others are sad. Many of us are enjoying good health while too many are pushing through pain and illness. We are a nation of opposites, yet all stand before You in awe. Minister to each and everyone of Your children, providing love, comfort, and hope. Amen
Embrace the Possible
Dear God, Help me as I embrace the possible. Watch me make positive change and cheer me on. I share with You my hopes and dreams, will you share with me Your favor? Praise to You who makes impossible…possible.
