    Life ... is a joyful expression of love, praise and thanksgiving instead of a hopeless struggle which eventually ends in death. Giving thanks in every circumstance, we forego the logic and reason which asks, 'Why me' and open our hearts and learn to trust. Every obstacle becomes an occasion for rejoicing. We put love at the center of our universe and we are lifted beyond the world of limitation, doubt, and fear into the realm of love, hope, and eternal happiness.

    Dont let the workings of adversity totally absorb your life. Try to understand what you can. Act where you are able then let the matter rest with the Lord for a period while you give to others in worthy ways before you take on appropriate concern again.

And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me for I have found my sheep which was lost.

    Lover of trees and flowers,

    Lovingly patting each other
    With sweet aeolian whispers.

    Is anybody happier because you passed his way Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today The day is almost over, and its toiling time is through. Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast, That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said Does the man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead Did you waste the day, or lose it Was it well or sorely spent Did you leave a trail of kindness, or a scar of discontent As you close your eyes in slumber, do You that that GOD will say, 'You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today'
