Quotes


Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life,
And when it comes, hold your head high.
Look it squarely in the eye, and say,
"I will be bigger than you.
You cannot defeat me."

-Ann Landers

Every person is a combination of many factors woven together from the joys and sorrows of life.  We're also the product of our choices.    We're the result of what was or was not done for us or to us by our parents, siblings, associates, and friends.  The journey we're on is planned and watched over by a loving God who wants us to treasure the gift of being alive and who sets us free to participate in our own destiny.

Circumstances occur that could easily crush us.  They may originate on the job or at home or even during the weekend when we are relaxing.  Unexpectedly, they come.  Immediately we have a choice to make. . .an attitude choice.  We can hand the circumstances to God and ask Him to take control or we can roll up our mental sleeves and slug it out.  Joy awaits our decision.

You are what you are today,
 because of the decisions and the choices
 YOU
made yesterday.

~~Rev. Wayne Goonie

Sometimes you must cross the deepest valleys
To get to the highest mountains.

If God is the Destination of our spiritual journey, then we are freed from the fear of making bad choices.  The present moment is all that matters.  The future snuggles right into the present, and gives us peace.

Undergirding each of the choices we make in life, God is leading us.  In our ignorance or in our false desires, we may make what we think is the "wrong" choice; however, because of God's redemption on the cross, there are no ultimate "wrong" choices.  God redeems all our blunders, all our stupidity.  The crucial choice is choosing God over not choosing God.

Waste your money and you're only out of money,
 But waste your time and you've lost a part of your life.

~~Michael Leboeuf

Life is like a coin.
You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.
 
~~Lillian Dickson
