Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.

Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. Speak in a low, persuasive tone. Listen; be teachable. Laugh at good stories and learn to tell them...For as long as you are green, you can grow.

Unless we believe and see Jesus in the appearance of bread on the altar, we will not be able to see him in the distressing disguise of the poor.

Please don't kill the child. I want the child. Please give me the child. I am willing to accept any child who would be aborted, and to give that child to a married couple who will love the child, and be loved by the child.

These children have brought such love and joy to their adopting parents, and have grown up so full of love and joy!
