“Can we hush the fears that so easily and frequently beset us in our contemporary world? The answer to this question is an unequivocal yes. Three basic principles are central to receiving this blessing in our lives: (1) look to Christ, (2) build upon the foundation of Christ, and (3) press forward with faith in Christ.” WorldLooksThreeChristAnswersPrinciplesOur LivesBlessingFoundationPressesContemporaryReceivingHushBasic PrinciplesUnequivocal Author:David A.

“I remember my first lesson on the pilgrimage was the lesson of receiving. I had been on the giving side for many years and I needed to learn to accept as gracefully as I had been able to give, in order to give the other fellow the joy and blessing of giving. It's so beautiful when you live to give. To me it's the only way to live because as you give you receive spiritual blessings.” WayGivingYearsFirstsAbleBeautifulRememberSpiritualJoyOrderSidesAcceptingNeededLessonsBlessingFellowsReceivingWay To LivePilgrimageSpiritual Blessings Book:Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words Source: Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words

“To become fully human means learning to turn my gratitude for being alive into some concrete common good. It means growing gentler toward human weakness. It means practicing forgiveness of my and everyone else's hourly failures to live up to divine standards. It means learning to forget myself on a regular basis in order to attend to the other selves in my vicinity. It means living so that "I'm only human" does not become an excuse for anything. It means receiving the human condition as blessing and not curse, in all its achingly frail and redemptive reality.” HumansMeanDoeSelfRealityOrderTurnsForgetCommonAliveGrowingConditionsDivineGratitudeBlessingStandardsWeaknessBasesExcuseCurseHuman ConditionReceivingConcreteCommon GoodFrailVicinityI'm Only Human Author:Brené Brown
