| Tapestry of Time |
| Life works out a pattern on the tapestry of time The threads of hope, of love and grief, of fear and faith sublime ~ of happiness and bitterness, of joy and misery~ are stitched into the great design of human destiny. Within so vast a frame, our tiny patch we cannot see. Too close we stand to trace the pattern on the tapestry. But someday, looking from afar, perhaps we shall behold our little bit of the design: our own small thread of gold. ~Patience Strong |
| I see the light within your eyes and that Christ abides in you . . . When you are abiding in Him, and you are abiding in His love, and I am abiding in Christ, and I am abiding in His love, we are One with Him, together. How beautiful. |
| Feel deeply... Enjoy simply... Think freely... Take risks... Welcome love... Be who you really are. |
| Oh, Dear God, grant that I find no fault with my neighbor, and that I love my neighbor as myself. Help me to love others as Jesus has so loved us. In Jesus' Holy Name, gratefully. Amen |
| I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons, knocking at the door. The door opens. I've been knocking from the inside. ~Rumi |
| Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace where there is hatred, let me sow love where there is injury, pardon where there is doubt, faith where there is despair, hope where there is darkness, light where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. |
| I Said a Prayer For You Today I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard. I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke not a word. I didn't ask for wealth or fame ( I knew you wouldn't mind). I asked for priceless treasures rare Of a more lasting kind. I prayed that He'd be near you At the start of each new day To grant you health and blessings fair, And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small But that you'd know his loving care I prayed the most of all. ~Frank Sanborn |
| Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind. ~Henry James (1843-1916) U.S. novelist |
| No vision and you perish; No Ideal, and you're lost; Your heart must ever cherish Some faith at any cost. Some hope, some dream to cling to, Some rainbow in the sky, Some melody to sing to, Some service that is high. ~Harriet Du Autermont |
| Where e're ye be, let your wind bla' free. ~Bobby Burns |
| Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. ~Hebrews 11:1 |
| There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try themselves, and those who are afraid that you will succeed. |
| I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. ~John Burrough |
| "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be the blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." ~J.R.R. Tolkien, 1892-1973 Philogist and Author |
