Peace is not something you fight for With bombs and missiles that kill, Nor can it be won in a "battle of words" One fashions by scheming and skill For those who are greedy and warlike, Whose avarice for power cannot cease, Can never contribute in helping To bring this world nearer to peace For in seeking peace for all people There is only one place to begin And that is in each home and heart- For the fortress of peace is within!

Bless us Lord, this Christmas, with quietness of mind; Teach us to be patient and always to be kind.

Love is the answer, that everyone seeks...Love is the language, that every heart speaks.

The way to real growth is not to become more powerful or more famous, but to become more human and more tolerant.

Love changes darkness into light and makes the heart take a wingless flight.

No matter how steep the mountain - the Lord is going to climb it with you.

God, teach me to be patient, teach me to go slow, Teach me how to wait on You when my way I do not know. Teach me sweet forbearance when things do not go right So I remain unruffled when others grow uptight. Teach me how to quiet my racing, rising heart So I might hear the answer You are trying to impart. Teach me to let go, dear God, and pray undisturbed until My heart is filled with inner peace and I learn to know your will.
