Do all the good you can, by all the means you can,
in all the ways you can, in all the places you can,
at all the times you can, to all the people you can,
as long as ever you can.
       
                                         John Wesley

 

 

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go, some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we never, ever are the same."

 

 

 

 
 
 
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!

 
 
 
"The Mighty Oak tree is just an acorn that stood its ground"   Chuck Akins

       
IRISH BLESSING
 
 
MAY YOUR DAY BE FILLED WITH BLESSINGS, LIKE THE SUN THAT LIGHTS THE SKY, AND MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE COURAGE TO SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY.

'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain'

 
 
 
 
Measurement of life is not in its duration, but in its donation!

It need not discourage us if we are full of doubts.  Healthy questions keep faith dynamic. In fact, unless we start with doubts we cannot have a deep-rooted faith.  One who believes lightly and unthinkingly has not much of a belief. One who has a faith which is not to be shaken has won it through blood and tears--has worked his or her way from doubt to truth as one who reaches a clearing through a thicket of brambles and thorns.

Helen
Keller

 
 
Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.

Voltaire

The wise person in the storm prays God, not for safety from danger, but for deliverance from fear. It is the storm within which endangers us, not the storm without.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

You call for faith:  I show you doubt, to prove that faith exists.  The more
of doubt, the stronger faith, I say, If faith o'ercomes doubt.

Robert Browning

  

Our creator would never have made such lovely days,
and have given us the deep
hearts to enjoy them, above and beyond all thought,
unless we were meant to be immortal.

                                                    Nathaniel Hawthorne
