This Day’s Thought-Monday

Sometimes I suspect that the Psalms that move me most were not written by people of serene, untroubled faith but by people who had to struggle to find where God was hidden in their lives, not by people to whom God was obvious but by people for whom God was the reward at the end of a long and arduous search.

Harold Kushner

And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!”

For many people in this world, life is cold, lonely and hard. If they had one friend, their lives would not only be different, but happier. In the plan of God, a friendship is a touch of heaven on earth. And we can all bring a touch of heaven into someone’s life.

Mark Connolly

God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.

Charity does not require of us that we should not see the faults of others, but that we should avoid all needless and voluntary observance of them, and that we should not be blind to their good qualities when we are so sharp-sighted to their bad ones.

Francois Fenelon

They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord, over the grain, the wine, and the oil, and over the young of the flock and the herd; their life shall be like a watered garden, and they shall languish no more.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Nature imitates itself. A grain thrown into good ground brings forth fruit; a principle thrown into a good mind brings forth fruit. Everything is created and conducted by the same Master: the root, the branch, the fruits—the principles, the consequences.

If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

2 Corinthians 11:30
