Missing Child
Cedrika Provencher
Occasionally in life there are those moments of
unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely
explained by those symbols called words. Their
meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible
language of the heart.
Always new. Always exciting.
Always full of promise.
The mornings of our lives,
each a personal daily miracle!
I am only one,
but still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
but still I can do something;
and because I cannot do everything I will not
refuse to do the something that I can do.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.
What is essential is invisible to the eye.
War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Nothing taken for granted; everything received with gratitude; everything passed on with grace.
...understanding is a three edged sword: your side, their side, and the truth. - Sheridan from the
1994-1998 TV-Series Babylon 5 by J.M. Straczynski
Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is
never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to
new wonder and to praise the goodness of God.
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, there may be jealousy; be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway. Mother Theresa
The quality of mercy is not strained; it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven; upon the place beneath; it is twice blessed; it blesseth him that giveth and him that taketh. from Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare
You're blessed when you're content with just who you are -- no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought. [Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth] Matthew 5:5
The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.
Today is unique! It has never occurred before and it will never be repeated. At midnight it will end, quietly, suddenly, totally. Forever. But the hours between now and then are opportunities with eternal possibilities.
Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense, and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.
One source for this quote came from here showing a sign outside the John Pritchard School in Manitoba, Canada .. but not sure if it is the originator. Most sources are quoting "anonymous."
We encounter God in the ordinariness of life:
not in the search for spiritual highs and extraordinary mystical experiences but in our
simple presence in life.
Death is nothing at all...
I have only slipped away to the next room...
I am I and you are you...
Whatever we were to each, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak it to me in the same way you always used.
Put no difference into your tone,
Wear no false air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect, without the ghost of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident.
I am but waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner.
All is well.
Henry Scott Holland 1847 - 1918
Canon of St Paul's, London
The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.
Backward, turn backward,
O Time, in your flight
make me a child again
just for to-night!
Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I;
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.
God's love is like a river springing up
in the Divine Substance
and flowing endlessly through His creation,
filling all things with
life and goodness and strength.
Sometimes our thoughts turn back toward a corner in a forest, or the end of a bank, or an orchard powdered with flowers, seen but a single time....yet remaining in our hearts and leaving in soul and body an unappeased desire which is not to be forgotten, a feeling we have just rubbed elbows with
happiness.
Always laugh when you can; it is cheap medicine.
Merriment is a philosophy not well understood.
It is the sunny side of existence.
Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.
Angela Monet (interesting one here....can't find anything on the supposed author....got close with Milton and Friedrich Neitzche, but then lost the thread) anyone out there?
How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.
Be faithful in little things, for in them our strength lies. To the good God nothing is little, because He is so great and we so small.
Happiness is a sunbeam....When it strikes a kindred heart, like the converged lights upon a mirror, it reflects itself with redoubled brightness. It is not perfected until it is shared
