I like most John Grisham books a little better than I did The Reckoning.

Eat that Frog

Nothing can add more power to your life
than concentrating all of your energies
on a limited set of targets.

Fear Not. Worry Not.

“If you want to test your memory,
try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.”
– E. Joseph Cossman

 

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
~Matthew 6:34

Enough love to go around.

With all affected by Hurricane Harvey and Irma building, I’m well aware of those who feel there are enough needs right here at home- we are all so blessed simply living in the US. I pretty sure even if we only give of our time and prayers, that we can show love more than just those here at home.

We’ve only received the one fill-in-the-blank letter from Sofia but we did get an updated photo. I’d love to see a smile on that beautiful face! #CompassionChild

Meet Sofia !

Say a prayer for her since her sponsor knows more about cats than kids, and really struggles with what you say to a 7 year old, much less one who lives in Equador.

She does like art and drawing so at least we have that in common.

Our church members at Biltmore Baptist sponsored 675 children on Mother’s Day. I didn’t pick up different cards and read them, I picked up one off by itself. Now hubby would’ve probably picked a boy, but since he is basically providing the financial part and I’m doing the letter writing I think writing to a girl will be easier.  I think she’s cute and I’d love to see a smile on that face some day.

If you can’t find happiness inside yourself, you’ll never find it in the outside world, no matter where you move.
Wherever you go, there you are.
You take yourself with you.

You have been given this day

This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in it’s place is something that you have left behind … let it be something good.

From the book: Finding Joy

May we never

“May we never let the things we can’t or don’t have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have.”

~Richard L. Evans

Quote ~ heal and steal

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
loves leaves a memory no one can steal”.
~ from a headstone in Ireland.

I read this quote in a book I just finished.
