THOUGHT: Faith, mighty faith the promise sees and rests on that alone: laughs at impossibilities, and says it shall be done, Charles Wesley; I am not called to be successful; I am called to be faithful, Mother Teresa; I believe that we all have this dark underestimation of ourselves. Sometimes it is masked as arrogance, overestimation, superiority, but underneath the brashness the problem is insecurity and only unqualified, unmerited, unconditional love can assuage it, Madeleine L'Engle;

John Evelyn wrote on January 24th 1684; frost continuing more and more severe on The Themes before London all sorts of trades and commodities even a printing press which charged 6 pence to print your name and date; Trees splitting as if hit by lightening, shipping stopped, smog so severe you could not see across the street, no water in pipes, every moment was full of disastrous accidents. Colonel Peter Hawker wrote on Jan. 27th 1823; A sudden thaw, The harbour which was frozen appeared like a floating island as it was carried away by a high spring tide. Despite the heavy rain he went out shooting and brought home 17 geese, his clothes being wet he had to use the tail of his shirt to wipe out the pan of his gun. Charles Compton tells us that the weather for the month of January 1882 was wonderfully mild, more like a gentle spring, than the usual dull, bitter cold season, the air was clear and fresh.

THOUGHT: When you stop to count your blessings, do not forget to give God a big thank you to for all the difficult people in your life. Those cranks that cross your path and darken your doorway are just bursting with the potential to bless you. Every person who provokes you is an opportunity but it all depends on you. You can respond with love and mercy or you can get angry and lash out � blessing or sin; "Christ is passing by" regardless of which party you are, St Josemaria Escriva.

THOUGHT: "Now let me say that the next thing we must be concerned about if we are to have peace on earth and good will toward men is the non-violent affirmation of the sacredness of all human life. Every man is somebody because he is a child of God...Man is more than a tiny vagary of whirling electrons or a wisp of smoke from a limitless smoldering. Man is a child of God, made in His image, and therefore must be respected as such...And when we truly believe in the sacredness of human personality, we won't exploit people, we won't trample over people with the iron feet of oppression, we won't kill anybody." Martin Luther King Jr.

THOUGHT: Your identity is that you are the beloved. Long before your father and mother, your brothers and sisters, your teachers, your church, or any people touched you in a loving as well as in a wounding way-long before you were rejected by some person or praised by somebody else-that voice has been there always. "I have loved you with an everlasting love." That love is there before you were born and will be there after you die, Henri J. M. Nouwen.
