{quotes}

There’s no point having wishes if you don’t at least try to do them.
Sally Nicholls

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost

Don’t chase people out with measuring sticks.
Hillel Hazaken

Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
John Wooden

The Sabbath is a place of time.

{blessings}

Little by little, day by day, what’s meant for you will find its way. May you be blessed with faith and patience to wait for it.

Nobody said life would be easy, but God promises you it will be worth it. Live your blessed life in the best way possible.

Don’t wish it were easier. Pray to be better. May your prayers stir your heart and rouse in you a love for God beyond anything you have ever known.

The best exercise is walking. Walk away from arguments that lead to anger. Walk away from thoughts that steal your happiness. The more you walk away from things that destroy your soul, the more blessings will fill your life.

Supporting another person’s success will never hamper yours. May you always be a blessing to others.

Reminders for Appreciation
Dear God, remind me that nothing is to be taken for granted. Not my health, not my resources, not the roof over my head. Help me appreciate the people in my life. The tough ones, the easy ones, the ones who demand my attention, and the ones who stand silently by my side. I need no reminder of the part You play in my life. Thank You, God, for all You do to keep me living and breathing, learning and loving.

Underwater Finances
Lord, It’s so hard to stay afloat. The bills mount, and troubles keep coming. I am beaten. I am weary. Lift me up, brush me off, and help me rise above the tide of my despair. Praise to You, Almighty God.

Light Surrounds Me
May light always surround me, hope kindle and rebound me. May hurts turn to healing, my heart embrace feeling. May wounds become wisdom, every kindness a prism. May laughter infect me, me and passion resurrect me. May goodness inspire my deepest desires. Through all that I reach for, may my arms never tire.
D. Simone (adapted)

Just Asking
I ask. You hear. You answer. I listen. I thank You.

O, Happy Today
Dear God, Help me make today new without a repeat of yesterday’s failings. Show me how to resist temptation, focus on necessary things, to avoid the folly of negative thinking. Guide me to healthful, happy living.
