Carrying
Your task is to be faithful; to do the next thing. And when you cannot get up on your own, let someone carry you, knowing that in due time you will be called on to do the same for others. And when you are blessed with the responsibility of carrying someone else, then your own experience with suffering, your own experience of depending on others, will give you the wisdom and empathy you need to love them well. Christ's body here on Earth is one of His greatest mercies to us. - Alan Noble

Children
Just like us, children have bad days. Days when they're tired, not feeling well, lose their temper, or are emotional for no reason. This doesn't make them bad, it makes them human. - Sarah Boyd
Let's
Let's take them out to the rivers and forests, the mountains and the oceans. Let's let them daydream for hours at a time. Let's let them experience boredom and, in so doing, give them a fertile seedbed for imagination, play, and wonder. Let's let them swim in the creeks, run in the fields, get dirty, stay up late to see the stars, and catch bullfrogs with their bare hands. - Ainsley Arment
Rest
Chaos
In the Morning
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. - Marcus Aurelius
