When The Unexpected Happens

“Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Haven’t I sent you?” – Judges 6:14, WEB

Not everything happens according to our plans. No matter how carefully we execute our steps, no matter how much brain storming we make in anticipation of future problems, there will be times when events will take us by surprise.

After The Storm

After the Storm

“Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you.”
-John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

There are many things that can happen after the storm.Things may not be the same anymore. Many things could even be broken. Many things could be lost.

Start From Where You Are

“We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.”  – Henry Ward Beecher

You are not expected to do things you are not capable of, or to travel to places you cannot reach for now. You are not expected to be who you are not.

What Do You Look For In a Friend?

“In every friendship hearts grow and entwine themselves together, so that the two hearts seem to make only one heart with only a common thought. That is why separation is so painful; it is not so much two hearts separating, but one being torn asunder.”- Fulton J. Sheenwww.wisdomisgood.com

Nothing Is Permanent In Life

“Nothing is permanent in this wicked world – not even our troubles.” – Charlie Chaplin

Nothing is permanent in this life. Not sorrow. Not happiness.Everything passes away.

If you have sadness now, take comfort in knowing it cannot last forever. If you have problems, they can be solved. We need not add more sorrow for our present grief.

Love Breaks Down The Strongest Walls

'When you like someone, you like them in spite of their faults. When you love someone, you love them with their faults.

How can you hope against all hope? How can you continue to believe that there will be a way even when there seems to be none? How can you see joy when your eyes are full of tears?

Faith Is Important!

“Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” – Luke 23:34, WEB-BE

Sometimes, people are not really as bad as they seem to be. That is why we should give a little more room to doubt rather than judgment, and to forgiveness rather than hate.

Always Be Joyful

“Joy is prayer – Joy is strength – Joy is love – Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.” – Mother Teresa

The circumstances in life do not always bring about happiness. But this doesn’t mean that we cannot find joy where we are. Ours is the greatest joy in knowing God Himself came down from heaven, suffered, died and lived again for our sake, to give us eternal happiness. And so in whatever situation we may be, we have joy, if not in actual possession of it, in our certain hope that it will be ours.

Some Lessons in Our Journey Called Life

“We may run, walk, stumble. drive, or fly, but let us never lose sight of the reason for the journey, or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way.” – Gloria Gaither
