How we think shows through in how we act.
Attitudes are mirrors of the mind.
They reflect thinking.

On a keen awareness of the interdependence

Of all these living beings, which is all part of

One another, and all involved in one another.

In the long run, we shape our lives,

And we shape ourselves.
The process never ends until we die.
And the choices we make are ultimately

Our own responsibility.
- Eleanor Roosevelt

Ingratitude often hides behind a mask

Of independence or self-sufficiency.
An assertion of being "self-made"

Is a rejection of God, one's ancestors,

And society. Your Genes, Place of Birth,

And Upbringing is God's Gift to You.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Listening is such a simple act.

It requires us to be present,

And that takes practice,

But we don’t have to do anything else.

We don’t have to advise, or coach,

Or sound wise.

We just have to be willing to sit there

And listen.

- Margaret J. Wheatley

A magical talisman, before which

Difficulties disappear and obstacles

Vanish into air.

When you get into a tight place
and everything goes against you,
till it seems you cannot hold on a

Minute longer, never give up then,

For that is just the place and time

The tide will turn.

Rock bottom is good solid ground,

And a dead end street is just a place

To turn around.

Patience is what you require when

The fish are not hungry.

There ain't but one time to go fishin',

And that's whenever you can.

When the fish are biting no problem

In the world is big enough to be remembered.

052718 God is with me my comfort at all times

I want to share an excerpt from a little devotional book…

“Daily Word … Love, Inspiration, and Guidance for Everyone.

I believe it has an appropriate message for this time …

God is with me … my comfort at all times.

I have no greater friend than God …

A friend who is always there to listen,

Always there to comfort me.

When I am troubled, God is with me,

Listening to my every word.

If I am grieving over the loss of something or someone,

God tenderly holds my hand.

If the pain I may be experiencing because of this loss seems

More than I can bear, God carries my burden for me,

Loving me so much that I have love to share.

Such pain may not be completely diminished at first,

But in time I learn to totally and wholeheartedly rely on

God’s active presence in my life.

I can draw upon the comfort and strength of God at any time.

And I do.

The Prophet Isaiah wrote …

“Don’t worry—I am with you.
    Don’t be afraid—I am your God.
I will make you strong and help you.
    I will support you with my right hand that brings victory.”

(Isa.41:10 Easy-to-read-Version)

My heart bleeds at the death of

To these we owe the high resolve that the

For glory lights the soldier's tomb and beauty weeps the brave.
