"May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you're going,
And the insight to know when you've gone too far.
Taken from Heartwarmers4U
{\o/}
Apprehend God in all things
for God is in all things.
Every single creature is full of God
and is a book about God.
Every creature is a word of God.
If I spent enough time with the tiniest creature -
even a caterpillar -
I would never have to prepare a sermon.
So full of God is every creature.
Meister Eckhart

"How would it be if just for today we thought less about contests and
rivalries, profits and politics, winners and sinners and more about
helping and giving, mending and blending, reaching out and pitching in?
How would it be?"
Anonymous

"Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul."
Thoreau
{\o/}
Standing for what you believe in, regardless of the odds against you, and the pressure that tears at your resistance,
...means courage
Keeping a smile on your face, When inside you feel like dying, for the sake of supporting others,
...means strength
Stopping at nothing, and doing what's in your heart, you know is right,
...means determination
Doing more than is expected, to make another's life a little more bearable, without uttering a single complaint,
...means compassion
Helping a friend in need, no matter the time or effort, to the best of your ability,
...means loyalty
Giving more than you have, and expecting nothing but nothing in return,
...means selflessness
Holding your head high, and being the best you know you can be when life seems to fall apart at your feet, facing each difficulty with the confidence that time will bring you better tomorrows, and never giving up,
...means confidence.

ears can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled

they are gone, say before they go."
George William Childs
