Christmas, my child, is love in action." ~ Dale Evans (1912-2001), American film actress, singer and songwriter. Wife of Roy Rogers.

Christmas, my child, is love in action. Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas.

Time and experience have taught me a priceless lesson: Any child you take for your own becomes your own if you give of yourself to that child. I have born two children and had seven others by adoption, and they are all my children, equally beloved and precious.

If we never had any storms, we couldn't appreciate the sunshine.

Every day we live is a priceless gift of God, loaded with possibilities to learn something new, to gain fresh insights.

I lay in the bed at the hospital and said, 'let's see what I have left.' And I could see, I could speak, I could think, I could read. I simply tabulated my blessings, and that gave me a start.

It's the way you ride the trail that counts.
