Everything that irritates you about others, is your key to understanding yourself.
What angers you in another person is an unhealed aspect of yourself. If you had already resolved that particular issue, you would not be irritated by its reflection back to you.

The woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang the best.

Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right'. Start where you are, work with whatever is at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along

Love is the opposite of logic.

Logic is argumentative, aggressive upon the mind, splits the world into right and wrong, us and them. Love is generative, compassionate, embracing all creation. Logic pays attention to what is being said. Love pays attention to how things are said. Logic leads to debate. Love leads to communion. Practice love to be closer to God.

God has given you so many gifts to sow love and to give hope, to shine light and to spread joy. Abundant gifts. Use them. Give to yourself and give to others. There is an endless spring where they come from.

Each day is an adventure for you to discover.
Face each day without fear or expectation. Experience to the fullest whatever comes your way. It is as God meant it to be.

Take my life and let it be...consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days...let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands and let them move...at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be...swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take our lives Lord Jesus! We are broken before you. Amen.

The steadfast Love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end , they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

"Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord." - 2 Corinthians 5:8

Some day we will all return home and walk with Jesus for eternity.
