It was God…
Who made the garden grow in your hearts.
~ 1 Corinthians 3:6 TLB ~
It is God to whom and with whom we travel,
and while He is the End of our journey,
He is also at every stopping place.
~ Elisabeth Eliot ~
What happens when we live God’s way?
He brings gifts into our lives,
much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard---
things like affection for others,
exuberance about life, serenity.
~ Galatians 5:22-23 MSG ~
Open your hearts to the love God instills…
God loves you tenderly.
What He gives you is not to be kept
under lock and key, but to be shared.
~ Mother Teresa ~
God’s peace…
is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.
His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet
and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.
~ Philippians 4:7 TLB ~
Sometimes our thoughts turn back toward
a corner in a forest, or the end of a bank,
or an orchard powdered with flowers,
seen but a single time… yet remaining in our hearts…
a feeling we have just rubbed elbows with happiness.
~ Guy De Maupassant ~
Enjoy the little things.
One day you may look back and realize…
They were the big things.
~ Anonymous ~
I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year,
“Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.”
And he replied, “Step out into the darkness,
put your hand into the Hand of God,
and that will be to you better than a light
and safer than a known way.”
~ Philip Hasbro ~
Peace is when time doesn’t matter as it passes by.
~ Maria Schnell ~
If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass,
you live more richly those moments.

Though weary, love is not tired;
Though pressed, it is not straitened;
Though alarmed, it is not confounded.
Love securely passes through all.
~ Thomas A. Kempis ~
Though we travel the world to find the beautiful,
we must carry it within us or we find it not.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
Every day we live is a priceless gift of God, loaded with
possibilities to learn something new, to gain fresh insights.
~ Dale Evans Rogers ~
Something deep in all of us yearns for God’s beauty,
and we can find it no matter where we are.
~ Sue Monk Kidd ~
Contentment comes as the infallible result
of great acceptances, great humilities---
of not trying to make ourselves this or that,
but of surrendering ourselves to the fullness of life---
of letting life flow through us.
~ David Grayson ~
