Week End September 7, 2018
{quotes}
If you want happiness for an hour — take a nap. If you want happiness for a day — go fishing. If you want happiness for a year — inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime — help someone else.
A picnic is a state of mind, you can have one anywhere.
Never chase what you want. Elevate your game and what you want will chase you.
Put your hand in the hand of God.
What God ordains, God sustains.
Breathe in the sunshine. Exhale the moonlight. Let the cycle of the day carry you away.
{blessings}
Smooth Sailing
God is the wind. Faith is the sail. You are the vessel. May you be blessed with smooth sailing.
Hope and Aspiration
A human’s way sometimes leads to a hopeless end – God’s way leads to an endless hope. May you be blessed with a lifetime of hope and aspiration.
Instincts That Help
You are smart and you are crafty. Use it for good. May God bless you with instincts that help, not hurt.
City of God
Nature is the city of God. May you be blessed to dwell in it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (inspired)
Grow Older, Stay Young
You are now one year older than you were at the same time last year. Grow older, but don’t get old. May you be blessed to stay young by being open to learning new things, and by having faith in the future.
{prayers}
Labor in Vain
God Almighty, You hear the cries of all those who labor in vain, who are broken and ashamed. Add our prayers to theirs. Let our voices be heard in petition for others. May the hands of the strong do work to bring equality to the less fortunate. And let us soon see the day when peace rules the hearts of all humankind. Amen
A Better Place
I feel like I am being pushed to the edge. Dear God, teach me to fly. Catch me. Save me from the dangers of my frustration, aggravation, and deprivation. Bring me back, to a better place.
Helper to God
You are the God of my children. I want them to love You as I do. Make me a teacher. Give me the right words when they question Your holy Presence. Show me how to ignite the sacred spark that lies hidden. Let me be Your helper.
Never Disappointed
Dear God, Your love is greater than my disappointments, and Your plans for my life are better than my own. All my thanks and praise go to You. Amen
God Knows
Here beside You, I am known. You see a side of me I have not shown. You know the truths I will not speak. You brought peace when it was out of reach. You are my friend, and so much more, You are my God, Whom I adore.
