Step Without Feet – Rumi Quote on Love

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.
Rumi

Nourish the Soul Quote For Today

 

Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care The death of each day’s life, sore labour’s bath Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course, Chief nourisher in life’s feast. - William Shakespeare -

Miracles Happen Every Day – Quote of the Day For Tuesday

Wow, what a quote:

For the person for whom small things do not exist, the great is not great.  - Jose Ortega y Gasset -

 

This one speaks hugely of God’s love and of the miracles happening to us every day.  How often have I missed them.  Yet, I speak the truth.  No matter how broke I am, no matter how swollen my foot is, no matter how much it hurts, no matter how unfairly I’m treated . . . God Is.  Jesus still died for me.  Manifestations of that exist in every homent – the good ones and the “BUT WHY LORD” ones.  It can be a great challenge to notice.  Make the effort.  If I sit and whine over the huge life changing event that I want, I miss the kisses from God which He sends to me all the day long.  Those are truly a BIG deal.

Thank You Lord – Quote of the Day

As I walk in pain to a long three days in a low paying and physically brutal job, I needed an encouraging word to lift me up.  The Lord put this one in front of me.  Thank you, Jesus, for you immeasurable love.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for theLord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

 

Quote of the Day – Dance!

One of my favorite people quoted this to me and I’d forgotten who said it.  Love it.  This is life in Christ!

You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody listening,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.

- William W. Purkey -

 

Eyes of the Heart Quote!

Wow, this is so true.  We have all read this sort of message in the Bible, sang of it in praise songs, etc., but I wonder as I think of some of the decisions and false judgments I have made whether “hearing it” requires a bit more thought.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.

- Antoine de Saint-Exupery -

Quote of the Day – Money

Money often costs too much.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson -

I can remember, in another life as they say, working hard and being so hungry for the VP title.  Those who had it said “it means nothing.”  It wasn’t until I had it that I realized how right they were.

As I write this and contemplate Emerson’s words, I do so having, in the past, had not so much to worry about and having now the constant awareness of my financial concerns.  As with the fancy title, money really doesn’t matter all that much.  True, knowing I could pay my bills felt good and now the monthly “I wonder how” is showing me a different viewpoint, but honestly?  I was more stressed back then even than now.

One way or another, the Lord provides in ways most important and I am a flawed human who needs constant reminder of His love.  His mercy is UNCEASING though and while I learn more and more about our relationship, His and mine, and grow deeper and deeper with Him – learning anew what the word trust means, He understands, loves, forgives, and provides.

Emerson’s right.  Money truly does cost too much.  It’s all about trusting the Lord and reflecting His love.  I can’t afford to deal with the rest of it.  He’s handling it.

How To Change the World Quote of the Day

How do you say “thank you” for sunshine or health…for clear days or gentle rains…for happiness, joy or love? You say it by sharing what you have. You say it by making the world a better place in which to live.  Thomas D Willhite

Quote of the Day – Image

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 1 John 4:11-12

Such truth in those words and they speak of our true and created need for one another as the collective body of Christ.  We have not seen God but we are created in His image and thus reflect His splendor on one another.  If I look in my own mirror, I am far more likely to see what I am not, but when I look at you I see the great I AM.

Bible Quote of the Day – Encouragement

Ever have a day when you wake up battle weary?  I did today but this quote says what my soul knows is true:

Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
