Words of Wisdom

"When I surrendered my desire for security and sought serenity instead, I looked at my life with open eyes." -Sarah Breathnach

"Let no one come to you without leaving happier and better."  -Mother Teresa  

"Appreciate the PAST. Make the most of the PRESENT. Live for the FUTURE."

"I expect to pass through the world just once. Any good, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."  ~Stephen Grellet~

"We are all eligible for life's small pleasures:  a pat on the back.......a rainbow across the sky......the laughter of good friends......an empty parking space........cherry blossoms.......licking the beaters.......a pair of warm hazel eyes......a cup of hot tea......a child learning her ABC's.....watching a robin build her nest.  Enjoy life's tiny delights........there are plenty for all of us.  Only he who gives thanks for the little things receives the big things."

"We know not what lies ahead of us. We know not what the coming days will bring. We live in a world of uncertainty. For some, there will be great accomplishment. For others, disappointment. For some, much of rejoicing and gladness, good health, and gracious living. For others, perhaps sickness and a measure of sorrow. We do not know. But one thing we do know. Like the polar star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith.  In sunshine and in shadow we look to Him, and He is there to assure and smile upon us."  ~ President Gordon B. Hinckley
