getting thru' it! Words of wisdom

[Jenny123]

:)These are only words, but it helps me on a daily basis:)

Keep the faith.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Make peace with yourself and the past.

I asked Jesus how much he loved me, he stretched his arms out, he replied, this much and died.

We are all unique.

There is no such thing as perfect.

Be yourself.

God teaches us lessons in life, he starts with a whisper, repeating the lesson. If we don't listen we get hit with a brick!

Life is what you make it.

What's for you won't go past you.

God will never throw anything at you, that you can't handle in life.

Stranger's are friends that we haven't met yet.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars: you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

With all it's sham and drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

Desiderata....Id forgotten that one. I love it

 

God, grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

the courage to change the things I can;

and the wisdom to know the difference.

[openbook08]

HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Of night of light and of half-light,

I would spread these cloths under your feet:

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

 

WB Yeats

Great stuff! The Serenity Prayer is a very powerful one. I'm in AA, so I hear it a lot, and going through a breakup, so now I'm using it a lot!

 

Nothing happens in God's world by mistake!
