Just do it for Christ

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life -- in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.

~Philippians 2:14-16

At Christmas

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.

~Laura Ingalls Wilder

God's Time is the best Time

God is always on Time. Never behind and never ahead. Happy is the person who learns to wait as he prays and never loses patience with God. For God's time is the best time.


~From: Francis

Keep Walking

Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.

~ Soren Kierkegaard

Trust God

When GOD leads you to the edge of a cliff, trust HIM fully and let go. Coz only one of two things will happen: Either HE will catch you when you fall or HE will teach you how to fly.

~ From: Charmlot

Unique

We will not compare ourselves with each other as if one of us were better and another worse. We have far more interesting things to do with our lives. Each of us is an original.

~ Rick Warren (The Purpose Driven Life)

God forgives

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

~1 John 1:9

Basketball

Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up.

~Red Auerbach

Power of Prayer

In times of confusion, In times when you are running out of choices, be reminded of one thing: PRAYER changes things.

~ From: Cristine

Home

One's home is like a delicious piece of pie you order in a restaurant on a country road one cozy evening - the best piece of pie you have ever eaten in your life - and can never find again. After you leave home, you may find yourself feeling homesick, even if you have a new home that has nicer wallpaper and a more efficient dishwasher than the home in which you grew up.

~Lemony Snicket

Give Thanks

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

~ Psalms 118:1

Hope

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope... and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

~Robert F. Kennedy

Be Strong

Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

~Joshua 1:9

Kindness

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

~Og Mandino

Armor of Sacrifice

There is one armor that the world of men and women, as a world, has never yet put on. The churches have long bungled with its fastenings, but the world has gone untended, and few have been those in whose hands the mystical sword of the spirit has shone with daily use. This armor, waiting to be worn, is the armor of brotherhood and sacrifice, the world of unselfishness, a conquering sword, with the power, where used, to unite the world in love. And there are none who may not put it on.

~M.A. DeWolfe Howe

My First Quote

Many people, other than the authors, contribute to the making of a book, from the first person who had the bright idea of alphabetic writing through the inventor of movable type to the lumberjacks who felled the trees that were pulped for its printing. It is not customary to acknowledge the trees themselves, though their commitment is total.
