You are that which you are seeking.

Francis of Assisi

Think over what I say, for the Lord will grant you understanding in everything.

2 Timothy 2:7
The Revised Standard Version

A man told his wife that on a particular Friday he was going into the boss’ office to request the raise that he believed he more than deserved. He was quite nervous and upset. When he finally got his courage to go into the boss’ office toward the end of the day, the boss agreed that he deserved the raise and gave him even a larger increase in salary than he had anticipated. When he arrived home, he noticed the dining room table was set with the best dishes. There were candles burning. His wife was preparing a delicious meal. He thought to himself, “Someone has called her from the office to tell her.” He went into the kitchen, told her the good news, they kissed, and then soon sat down at the table for a delicious meal. Beside his plate was a beautifully lettered note which read: “Congratulations, darling! I knew you’d get the raise. These things will tell you how much I love you.” They enjoyed the delicious meal together. When she got up to get the dessert, he noticed a second card fell from her pocket. He bent over, picked it up, and read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise. You deserved it anyway. These things will tell you how much I love you.”
