Thank you, Sandra, for the quotes. The last two especialy mean a lot to me today.

You're welcome, I always like to start my day with something inspirational. :-)

Hey, SD1, great quotes!!! Here are a few that I've been leaning on, especially lately, and the last one was one I came across that just really made me think!

“God places the heaviest burden on those who can carry its weight.”

~ Reggie White

“I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed.”

~(unknown - at least to me)

“God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons we could not learn in any other way. The way we learn those lessons is not to deny the feelings but to find the meanings underlying them.”

~ Stanley Lindquist

“God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain”

~ C.S. Lewis

“God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages.”

~ Jacques Deval

Hey OrdinaryGirl, those a great quotes and I especially needed them right now. Thank you!

Yes, the last one makes me really think too!

I wish I could be the person that my dog thinks I am...Perhaps I better elaborate.

Quotes are great way to express biblical

truth in parallels. They are affirmations

that few people are willing to contest.

That's a good one Terry. Here are two more:

"There is no such thing in anyone's life as an unimportant day."

-Alexander Woollcott

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile,

a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment,

or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential

to turn a life around."

-Leo Buscaglia

Sandra you've landed the fundamental

commandment in your statement...to turn

lives around. And sometimes just to redirect them a little as we all need from

time to time. It is not as important where

we a

have been nor where we are now as it is

in what direction we are going.
