lets share some words of wisdom
one of my favorites from RBC's Our Daily Bread: When Life brings you to your knees you're in a good position to pray and one from my Mom You often accomplish a lot more talking to God about people than talking to people about God and my pastor God calls us to be His witnesses, not his lawyers or judges

I get a daily e-mail each morning (I have for about 6 years) from God's Minute. It is a daily devotional,with lots wonderful uplifting messages. These are a few of the quotes I have recieved and kept:
Wisdom has two parts 1) Having a lot to say 2) Not saying it God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage He who angers you, controls you The work will wait while you look at the rainbow, but the rainbow will not wait while you work Prayer- Don't give God instructions, just report for duty |

Gods approach to us has never changed. God is trying to teach us how to have a relationship with him and get right with each other.
Love means service. Love is shown in actions. We are rich only through what we give.

I have hurt many people - so I need to forgive better.
so this is for me especially... Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger. [Ephesians 4:26] ~ Bible ~ My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. [James 1:19-20] ~ Bible ~ Anger begins with folly, and ends with repentance. ~ H. G. Bohn ~ Never go to bed angry, stay up and fight. ~ Phyllis Diller ~

When life gets rough, I remember what my father told me one brutally cold morning when I was a kid. We were walking in the woods through deep snow and I told him I couldn't go any further. He said "Yes you can - you have a lot of spirit," and he kept on walking. When I complained of pain and exhaustion from the cold, he said with a big smile "Isn't it great? It means you're alive."
Thanks Dad. Maybe it's not such a bad thing to be reminded on occasion that being alive is truly a gift from God - even when you're shivering from the cold in the middle of July. |

I love all of these!
Just wish I was better at some of them! LOL! One I like personally; "I would rather live my life as if there were a God, and die to find out there isn't, then to live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is." Hugs, Jenni |

lots of really nice ones "never go to bed angry", my MIL told me and deb the day we married
i have always felt do unto others as you would have them do unto you, covers a lot, taking the time to think would i like this or if someone does this or that, would i like that, reflecting on that before you make your decisions, is a good way to live a life
