Until

Holy Spirit, think through me until your ideas are my ideas. - Amy Carmichael

When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this - you haven't. - Thomas Edison

Freedom

May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right. - Peter Marshall

Reading and naps, two of life's greatest pleasures, go especially well together. - Will Schwalbe, Books for Living

The Centre of Worship

I believe some Christians today have forgotten that worship is not for them. It is for the Lord. Worship is not meant to please me, to make me feel good, to meet my criteria, my standards, my tastes. Worship is for God. I am not to be at the center of worship. - John Phelan Jr

Walk

Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right. - Soren Kierkegaard

Fingerprints

It will be gone before you know it. The fingerprints on the wall will appear higher and higher, and then suddenly they disappear. - Dorothy Evslin

Night

Night is the wonderful opportunity to take rest, to forgive, to smile, to get ready for all the battles that you have to fight tomorrow. - Allen Ginsberg

Listening

The secret to having a great conversation is listening. - Donald Miller

Best Cures

A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything. - Irish Proverb

The Power of Prayer

Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears it and not the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference. - Max Lucado

What You Have

Think how joyous each and every day can be if you're making the most of what you have. - Chrissy Halton

Noticing

I have always loved the gaps, the spaces between things, as much as the things. I love staring, pondering, mulling, puttering. I love the times when someone or something is later --- there's that rich possibility of noticing more, in the meantime. - Naomi Shihab 

Public Libraries

I love public libraries because they're built on the principle that books are so important and so necessary to human flourishing that access to them cannot depend on your income. - Author Unknown

Waves

Move my anxious heart from the waves to the One who walks on waves. - Author Unknown

Hope

 Where flowers bloom, so does hope. - Lady Bird Johnson

Amazing Things

Amazing things are all around me, appearing ordinary at first, until I really look at them closely. - Joanne Ryder

In the Kitchen

Many happy childhood memories begin in the kitchen. It's one of the sweetest parts of childhood. - Deanna F. Cook

Going Through

What you're going through will not last forever. - Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth

Parents

Never forget the hands that raised you. - Author Unknown

Simplicity

But writing with simplicity requires courage, for there is danger that one will be overlooked, dismissed as simpleminded by those with a tenacious belief that impossible prose is a hallmark of intelligence. - Alain de Botton,  The Consultations of Philosophy 

Little Bits of Good

Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world. - Desmond Tutu

Never Find

We will never find our purpose in exhaustion. - Maria Goff

The journey of a lifetime starts with the turning of a page. - Rachel Anders

Hold On

You find out what you really believe in the darkest hours. You find out that the God you know is the God you can hold on to. - Martha Tennison

Hearing God

Remember not to let the uncertainty of tomorrow stop you from hearing God today. - Kia Stephens

Is this really from you?

God will never tell you to do something that is in disagreement with His Word. When you feel that you are "hearing" from God, test it against the Word. Ask God in prayer, "Is this really from you? Please show me clearly in the Bible what the truth is." - Tracy Klehn

Question and Think

Don't just teach your children to read. Teach them to question what they read. Teach them to question everything. The value of an education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think. - George Carlin

Who

Don't worry so much about what you are going to be. Concentrate on who you are going to be. - Matt Phelan

Stuff

You're under no obligation to provide a home to every stray object that crosses your path. When one tries to sneak or charm its way in, remember that you have the power to deny entrance. - Francine Jay
