What Do Angels Look Like?
Like the little old lady who returned ~ your wallet yesterday. Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes ~ light up the world, when you smile. Like the small child who showed you ~ the wonder in simple things. Like the poor man who offered to ~ share his lunch with you. […]
I Am Thankful…
FOR THE HUSBAND/WIFE/S.O. WHO COMPLAINS WHEN DINNER IS NOT ON TIME BECAUSE HE/SHE IS HOME WITH ME, NOT WITH SOMEONE ELSE. FOR THE TEENAGER WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES BECAUSE THAT MEANS SHE/HE IS AT HOME & NOT ON THE STREETS. FOR THE TAXES THAT I PAY, BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I AM EMPLOYED. […]

How To Count Your Life
Christian Quotation of the Day November 18, 2000 Every day is a little life: and our whole life is but a day repeated, whence it is that old Jacob numbers his life by days; and Moses desires to be taught this point of holy arithmetic, to number not his years but his days. [And so, […]
We Know In Part
Be still, and know that I am God. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only True God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I want to know Christ. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp […]
