People aren’t

Life is good. Actually, life is great. People aren’t.

Kind words, even in adversity

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.

Matthew 26:63 NIV

Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”  “You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful worldAs it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right If I surrender to His Will; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him Forever and ever in the next.

Doing the Right Thing

Character is doing the right thing when nobody’s looking.

Love is

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.

Prayer 5-19-2013

Thanks be to you, our Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits which you have given us, for all the pains and insults which you have borne for us. Most merciful Redeemer, Friend and Brother, may we know you more clearly, love you more dearly, and follow you more nearly, day by day.

Amen

Luke 11:9-10 NIV

I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.    For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Pride comes before a fall!

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Brightening our Path

We cannot hold a torch to light another person’s path without brightening our own.
