The Fairest Blossom

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.

-Henry Ward Beecher

Faith, Found In a Garden

 

A garden is evidence of faith. It links us with all the misty figures of the past who also planted and were nourished by the fruits of their planting.

                                       - Gladys Taber

Love Now, Live Now

If you have someone you care about, call them today. If you have someone you are angry at, forgive them and move on. If you have someone you miss, send them an email. If you have someone you haven’t thought of in a while, think of them, whether they are with us today or not. 9/11 proved, all too grim, that life is far too short. Embrace it and live it, enjoy it, don’t squander it. Don’t forget those who add to your happiness and appreciate them, all of them, because you never know when you might find out they are gone forever.

- Andru Edwards

Love and Release

Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time.”

- Sara Paddison

Behold Beauty

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happiness Ever After

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.

                                                   Eskimo Proverb

An easy give and take...

It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well. 

Jackson Pollock

Live in Hope

HOPE

The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.

- Barbara Kingsolver

Jennifer full of Grace

I thank God for believing in me even when I didn’t believe.

- Jennifer Hudson in her Oscar acceptance speech

Faith and Grace

Charge forward.  When we combine action with unwavering faith, the power of grace will meet our need.

- Cheryl Richardson
