Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.

Already, it is later than you think for your earthly life at best, is only a blink of an eye between two eternities.

If our lives are truly plans of God, someone had better call a meeting soon to remind us, once more, what great miracles we really are.

Today.....I begin a new life".

I will smile at friend and foe alike and make every effort to find, in him or her, a quality to praise, now that I realize the deepest yearning of human nature is the craving to be appreciated.

I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness as it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

Nothing is easier than fault finding.
