If I Can…

“If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain;

If I can ease one life the aching,

Or cool one pain,

Or help one fainting robin

Unto his nest again,

I shall not live in vain.”

~Emily Dickinson

Survival Maintenance & Growth

We need four hugs a day for survival.

We need eight hugs a day for maintenance.

We need twelve hugs a day for growth.

Virginia Satir was an internationally acclaimed therapist. She knew a lot about what people need to be healthy and happy and to live in good relationships with each other. She was very smart, and most of her advice was pretty simple.

Take hugs, for example. What could be more simple? One person reaching out to touch another person with safety and care. Very simple.

But what do hugs give people?

Comfort. Acceptance. The basics we all need no matter where we are at today.

So, let us all remember to Give Hugs today!

Busyness

Busyness is artificial significance.

#SongSunday is an oldie by Steven Curtis Chapman – Be Still And Know.

To Be Earthly Good

The only way to be earthly good is to be Heavenly minded.

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. — Colossians 3:2

Stay True

Anyone can stay true to your face but it is the people who stay true behind your back that really count.

I am thankful for wonderful people God has placed in my life.

May we always choose to “Stay True”.

Slow Down

A woman’s ego often pushes her into a whirlwind life of busyness.

If people adore you and heap compliments on your pretty head every time you serve them, be wary, it’s easy to mistake the voice of flattery for the voice of God.

The voice of God is always speaking to us, and always trying to get our attention.

But His voice is a still small voice, and we must at least slow down in order to listen.

~ Eugenia Price

Envy

“Envy is the art of counting the other fellow’s blessings instead of your own.” —Harold Coffin

Apart From Or In Place Of

We can’t learn His principles apart from His person, and we can’t substitute His law in place of His Spirit.

Lately I have been writing down phrases in my journal during my morning quiet times…How does this phrase speak to you?

Ponder This…

We will all experience the consequences of our actions and inactions.

It’s not just our actions that matter but also our inactions.
