Happiness is…
The most singular difference between happiness and joy is that happiness is a solid and joy a liquid.
J. D. Salinger
Stress
Stress is caused by being ‘here’ but wanting to be ‘there’.
Eckhart Tolle
Change
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.
Leon C. Megginson
Open Doors
Not knowing when the dawn will come, I open every door.
Emily Dickinson

{prayers}
Angel of God
Angel of God who is near to me grace me with favor and help me see. Shine brightly as I walk God’s way Hear my vow I will not stray. Thank you Angel you are my guide how blessed am I with you by my side. Amen
Happiness is a Choice
Happiness is a choice we make every morning. Service is a promise. Faith is a given. Thank You, God. You guide us through the day, you stay with us at night. You are always by our side.
One More Morning
Morning after morning, I wake. I am blessed with one more day to spend with You, God, enjoying the gifts of Your love.
Why Me
Why me, dear God? Have I been chosen for a reason? You placed this tremendous responsibility in my humble hands. Like Moses, I say, I am not worthy. Enlighten me. Though I struggle, I won’t stop trying. All praise to You, my all-knowing God.
Expressing the Divine
Dear God, whether I am at work or play, with family or strangers, move me to see every interaction as an opportunity to express Your divine nature. May I be blessed to act with love, patience, and understanding, revealing Your holy Spirit to all I encounter.
{bible}
Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit.
3 John 1:2
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Matthew 6:24
I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. How great are Your works! My soul knows it full well.
Psalm 139:14
I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.
Isaiah 46:4
If I am quiet, I can hear the sound of angel wings. If I am quiet and patient, I can hear the voice of God.
Ezekiel 10:5
{blessings}
When to Stay, When to Go
Stick with it? Maybe not. If you’ve been at it awhile and you’re not getting anywhere, it could be time for a change. God bless you as you figure out when to stay and when to go.
Time of Troubles
May God bless you in your time of troubles. Let every fiber in your soul rise up to meet the challenges with dignity, strength, and iron-clad resolve.
Give to Others
Treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself. May God bless you with compassion, patience, and insight.
Thankful
If you’re not thankful for what you have, it’s highly unlikely you’ll be thankful for what you get. May you be blessed with gratitude.
Overcoming
May you be blessed to know you are not what you have done. You are what you have overcome.
