{quotes}
The best part of your story is that the next page is blank and you get to write it.
Chris Butler
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere.
Carl Sagan
Nothing is as powerful as gratitude, nothing gives you more power than being grateful.
Despite everything, I believe the world was created for good and that there is nothing on earth so evil that a ray of light can’t seep through, or a pinch of good can’t be seen.
Hannah Szenes
What other people think of me is none of their business.
Eleanor Roosevelt
{blessings}
Nighttime Praying
When you wake up in the middle of the night and can’t sleep, pray. Keep a prayer list by your bed or on your phone and make good use of a restless night. May your prayers be a blessing to all in need.
Unshakable Belief
Believe in the sun when it’s not shining, love when you can not feel it, and believe in God even when you hear silence. May you be blessed with a belief system that can not be shaken.
Imperfect Circle
Even a perfect circle isn’t perfect. Look close enough and you’ll see a gap or an overlap. There’s no such thing as perfect, not for you, not for them, not for anything at all. May God bless you to accept and learn from imperfection. Because after all, nothing’s perfect.
Enthusiasm!
Is today just another day to get through? After you get through today – what’s next?May God bless you with enthusiasm for life and the energy to live it well.
Because You Must
Because you must give something – give thanks. Thanks to your Maker, thanks to your loved ones, thanks to the leaders who protect and inspire you. May you be blessed with gratitude to all and everything making up your precious life.
{prayers}
Happiness and Success
Dear God help me find an angle, show me how to make sense of all the clatter that comes between me and my dreams. I want so badly to find a way, the right way to happiness and success.
None Like God
Who is like You O God! Who is like You, mighty in holiness, praiseworthy and awesome, doing wonders, making miracles. None are like You.
Trying the Best I Can
Dear God, Thank you for watching over me, guiding me in the right direction and gracing me with good intentions. You are a wise, kind and loving God, I am yours, trying the best I can.
Where They Are
Dear God Help me meet people where they are. While I may not always understand someone’s words or choices, I know that acceptance is the greatest way to show my love. Amen
Hardly Making It
I work hard and I am hardly making it. I love fiercely and the pain of it hurts. I give of myself selflessly, yet I am selfishly resentful. Help me O Lord.
