On Living and Loving....

Even charity has many faces. That of one who gives because it "feels good"; of another who gives because it "looks good"; and yet of another who is simply obliged; or of one who gives to take control of the recipient's life. 
But the best is of one who gives out of love.

Every once in a while, God leaves us to get lost in a maze only because He wants us to learn the art of finding our way out.

There are only a few things I cannot overdo; and one of them is praying. It is when a misfortune comes along that I realize how little time I have spent in  prayer.

It is a waste of time to argue with someone who can't respect my individuality or opinion. He/She is"always right" anyway.

  

I knew I have truly loved when his imperfections became known to me yet I chose to stay and love him more.

I love how simple options can be so momentarily liberating. As with a bad leak on the roof; if you can't afford a new house or a good fix, there's always the pail!

The fastest way to lose a husband is to tell him how, when and where to get his haircut. Remember he was able to decide for himself when he asked you to marry him.      

Sometimes, it is enough for us to believe that what is happening is what is best, even when we don't understand why. This is the kind of faith that moves the Father's Heart.

Forgive always. Then forget - the offense or the offender - whichever leaves you with the least emotional baggage so you can move on.

To each his own star. As soon as  you reach for someone else's, you will lose sight of yours.

Live passionately; love completely; serve wholeheartedly; pray unceasingly...

In most workplaces, bitterness and envy will break your peace. This is when leaving is not an option for evil will persist anywhere, just in another form and face... But while the enemy seeks for every opportunity to pounce on you, seek to be better at what you do. Soon, one of you will have wasted precious time and it won't be you....
