“If we can keep our minds calm on the subject of the "Eternity of God," if reason does not totter on her seat at the contemplation of underived existence, it will be strange if any other mystery relating to God should disturb us. He who can bring his reason to bow reverently at the idea of a Being who had no beginning, is well prepared to receive any communication of His will.” IfsShouldMindWellsDoeIdeasReasonGodExistenceMysterySubjectsStrangeCommunicationEternityPreparedCalmContemplationSeatsBows Author:Nehemiah Adams
“I hold another creed, which no one ever taught me, and which I seldom mention, but in which I delight, and to which I cling, for it extends hope to all; it makes eternity a rest - a mighty home, not a terror and an abyss. Besides, with this creed, I can so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime; I can so sincerely forgive the first while I abhor the last; with this creed, revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too deeply disgusts me, injustice never crushes me too low. I live in calm, looking to the end.” FirstsHeartI CanEndsHomeLastsWorryCrimeTaughtMy HeartLowsEternityForgivingInjusticeCalmTerrorDelightRevengeCriminalsCrushDisgustingCreedsAbyssSincerelyDegradation Book:Jane Eyre Source: Jane Eyre

“A home is much more than a house built of lumber, brick, or stone. A home is made of love, sacrifice, and respect. We are responsible for the homes we build. We must build wisely, for eternity is not a short voyage. There will be calm and wind, sunlight and shadows, joy and sorrow. But if we really try, our home can be a bit of heaven here on earth. The thoughts we think, the deeds we do, the lives we live not only influence the success of our earthly journey, they also mark the way to our eternal goals.” IfsThinkingWayTryingMadeHomeEarthJoyHouseHeavenBitsGoalSacrificeJourneyInfluenceWindSorrowEternalShadowBuiltStonesEternityMarkResponsibleCalmDeedsSunlightBricksVoyagesJoys And SorrowsLumberLove Sacrifice Author:Thomas S.

“May I make two citations from the words of a discerning editorial writer, not one of my faith, but one of much faith: "If we neglect the divine . . . and give ourselves over wholly to the human," he said, "we may certainly count upon nothing but the triumph of pessimism. . . . True optimism must rest upon a calm, unshakable faith in eternal life and in the unlimited goodness of him who gives it."” IfsLifeGivingHumansMaySaidTwoDivineGoodnessEternalOptimismEternityCalmTriumphDivinityNeglectPessimismUnlimitedEternal LifeEditorialsDiscerningUnshakableCitationsUnshakable Faith Author:Richard L.
