Inspirational thoughts
Whining?
“Those who do not complain are never pitied.” Jane Austen
Mary, our mother
“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.”
Agatha Christie
Flock together?
“I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.” William Wordsworth
Love for Christ
“We have to do everything for love, not out of force.” St. Francis de Sales
Don’t worry about tomorrow
“Do not fear what may happen tomorrow. The same loving Father who cares for you today will care for you tomorrow and everyday. Either he will shield you from suffering or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace then and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginings.” St. Francis de Sales
Patience…
“Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them – every day begin the task anew.” St. Francis de Sales
Patient endurance
“When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.” St. Francis de Sales
Right here, right now
“Regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow are twin thieves that rob us of the moment.” Amish proverb
God’s spotlight and microphone are in the present moment…where are you standing right now?
Be the best version of you
“No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.”
– Virginia Woolf
