Sometimes you need to thank God for what didn’t happen. Thank Him for the enemies He’s stopped that you knew nothing about.

“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.” Seneca

"...all of us are doomed to die. The death sentence applies only to identities, and could be rephrased: 'Mortality is the price of identity.' The family lives longer than its members, the tribe longer still, and homo sapiens as a species has existed for several million years." ~ James Lovelock

You can’t change someone who doesn’t see an issue with their actions. You can only change how you react to them.

In the beginning there was nothing and God said "Let there be light", and there was still nothing but everybody could see it. ~ Dave Thomas

In the beginning there was nothing and God said "Let there be light", and there was still nothing but everybody could see it. ~ Dave Thomas HYMN TO TIME by Ursula K. Le Guin Time says “Let there be” every moment and instantly there is space and the radiance of each bright galaxy. And eyes beholding radiance. And the gnats’ flickering dance. And the seas’ expanse. And death, and chance. Time makes room for going and coming home and in time’s womb begins all ending. Time is being and being time, it is all one thing, the shining, the seeing, the dark abounding.

When it’s over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. When it is over, I don’t want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real. I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument. I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world. ~ Mary Jane Oliver, Sept 10, 1935 – January 17, 2019

Envy is the religion of the mediocre. It comforts them, it soothes their worries, and finally it rots their souls, allowing them to justify their meanness and their greed until they believe these to be virtues. Such people are convinced that the doors of heaven will be opened only to poor wretches like themselves who go through life without leaving any trace but their threadbare attempts to belittle others and to exclude—and destroy if possible—those who, by the simple fact of their existence, show their own poorness of spirit, mind, and guts. Blessed be the one at whom the fools bark, because his soul will never belong to them. ~ The Angel’s Game by Carolos Ruiz Zafon

Oh, the gods . . . As woven into the ways of Power . . . with the ability to use it for their own purpose. Once I feared the gods. That was such a long time ago, before I realized that they too were as mortal as I. I have yet to understand how the gods harness the Power they use. I think it resembles the whirlpools and eddies along one of the eastern flowing rivers. Power is the current constantly flowing through time. Somehow the gods concentrate that current or their own, holding it for a time . . . but in the end they can no more hoard Power than any of us can hoard life. As a god’s Power drains away, he wilts, fades and finally whispers into a memory. Memory as we all know is ephemeral as a summer rain. In the beginning people depend on gods for their survival and in the end, it is the gods who desperately depend on people for theirs. Time will defeat them both. ~ from one of Taylor Caldwell's books.

Life is flying by. We don’t have a guarantee that we’ll be here tomorrow. Make the most of this day.

Ursula K. Le Guin was an excellent author is that from her Earth Sea trilogy or something else?

Sometimes God will ask you to do things that you’re afraid of. You have to get out of your comfort zone. If you play it safe all your life, you’ll never reach your full potential.

Ya, I can remember in the early days when God use to ask me to do things. Once He asked me to go parachuting and after we got airborne he ask me to take the parachute off and jump.

We all make our own choices, clearly you have been listening to something other than God, you can admit yourself to a wee clinic to help with that, we will pray for you.

“Never loan your heart to hatred; it pays you back with self-destruction. Majority of people living are not aware that anger is an acid that destroys its own container.” Israelmore Ayivor

God promised that He’ll arm you with strength for every battle. We may not know what the future holds, but we know Who holds the future. Joel Osteen

“Train your eyes and ears; train your nose and tongue. The senses are good friends when they are trained. Train your body in deeds, train your tongue in words, train your mind in thoughts. This training will take you beyond sorrow.” Buddha.

Osteen's sermons and writings are sometimes criticized for promoting prosperity theology, or the prosperity gospel, a belief that the reward of material gain is the will of God for all pious Christians.

Praying is by far the most powerful and wisest thing you can do for yourself, your loved ones and anyone around you.

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning…
