Only eternity will show how our fainthearted prayers changed the destinies of people on our prayer list.

Joni Eareckson Tada

My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you; keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching as the apple of your eye; bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.

True ambition is not what we thought it was. True ambition is the profound desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God.

Bill W.

But thou art a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love,

Nehemiah 9:17
The Revised Standard Version

There was a hemlock tree on the west side of the property. That was the tree I used to climb. The neighbors used to call Mother: “Kit! Kathy is in the top of the hemlock!” “Yes, I know. Don’t scare her. She doesn’t know that it’s dangerous.”

I am astonished at her, my good mother. She has called me to her sickbed, not so much to help her as to help me. I, in childhood, was never hungry, never homeless, never seriously ill; and was never exposed to the sight of physical suffering. My parents had made sure of all that. But an easy ride of a life is only a half-truth. Now Mama’s gift is to let me know her pain.

Lois Lyles

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.

Prayer is a path where there is none.

Noah Benshea

No one will be able to oppose you as long as you live, for I will be with you just as I was with Moses; I will not abandon you or fail to help you.

Joshua 1:5
The Living Bible

The dawn announces a new day. It waits to hear what God will say.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

We’d all like to feel self-reliant and capable of coping with whatever adversity comes our way, but that’s not how most human beings are made. It’s my belief that the capacity to accept help is inseparable from the capacity to give help when our turn comes to be strong.

Fred Rogers

Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord.

Psalm 117

God’s love had no strings, no expectations, no hidden agendas, no secrets. His love for us was, and is, upfront and clear.

Max Lucado

Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you. And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

1 Thessalonians 3:11-13
The New King James Version

The hands of those I meet are dumbly eloquent to me. I have met people so empty of joy, that when I clasped their frosty finger tips it seemed as if I were shaking hands with a northeast storm. Others there are whose hands have sunbeams in them.

The secret to having it all is realizing you already do.

“These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts; do not plot evil against each other, and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this,” declares the Lord.

Zechariah 8:16-17
The New International Version

A gentle Quaker, hearing a strange noise in his house one night, got up and discovered a burglar busily at work. He went and got his gun, came back and stood quietly in the doorway. “Friend,” he said, “I would do thee no harm for the world, but thou standest where I am about to shoot.”

Cheerfulness removes the rust from the mind, lubricates our inward machinery, and enables us to do our work with fewer creaks and groans.

Unknown

If I had the gift of being able to speak in other languages without learning them and could speak in every language there is in all of heaven and earth, but didn’t love others, I would only be making noise. If I had the gift of prophecy and knew all about what is going to happen in the future, knew everything about everything, but didn’t love others, what good would it do? Even if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, I would still be worth nothing at all without love. If I gave everything I have to poor people, and if I were burned alive for preaching the Gospel but didn’t love others, it would be of no value whatever.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3
The Living Bible

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

I wonder many times that ever a child of God should have a sad heart, considering what the Lord is preparing for him.

Samuel Rutherford

“Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the Lord is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed.”

1 Samuel 2:3
The New International Version

A rose can say I love you,
Orchids can enthrall,
But a weed bouquet in a chubby fist,
Oh my, that says it all!

I say a prayer of thanks every morning. When I put my feet on the floor, I set my attitude. I make the conscious decision it’s going to be a good day.

“I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
