Thought for the day... 4/2/12

Have no fear for what tomorrow may bring. The same loving God who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. God will either shield you from suffering of give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations. – Francis de Sales.

God makes no mistakes. Everything looks like a confused piece of embroidery work, meaningless and ugly. But that is the underside. Some day we shall see the right side and shall be amazed and thankful. – Corrie ten Boom.

In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayers in this room for Divine protection. Our prayers, Sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending Providence in our favor. . . . and have we not forgotten this powerful Friend? Or do we imagine we no longer need His assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: "that God governs in the affairs of man." And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? - Benjamin Franklin

God's ways are not oue ways. He listens and responds, sometimes in ways that are quite different. Report Inappropriate Comment

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special Don't let your goals be what other people deem important. Only you know what's best for you. Don't take for granted the things close to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life. Don't give up when you have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other. Don't be afraid to encounter risk. It is by taking chances that we learn to be brave. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love, is to give love, the fastest way to lose love is to hold too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams, is to be without hope, to be without hope is to be without purpose. Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been but also where you're going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. - Nancye Sims

Most of it is wonderful... Except for one little point... Which says "... by living in the past or for the future"... Agree on the "past" part... But the "future" part is different. We live today under conditions that are due to our investment in today when we were in the past. So when you invest in the future, you don't lose today, for today was invested in long time before today. If you stop investing in the future, and when it comes, if you try to enjoy your today then, you may not be able to find anything to enjoy at all because you have never invested in it in the first place! A better expression would be "enjoy your today, and invest in your future; don't live in your past, but take responsibility for it". Report Inappropriate Comment
