“From our sorrow we might seek out the sweetness and the good that is often associated with and peculiar to our challenge. We can seek out those memorable moments that are frequently hidden by the pain and agony. We can find peace in extending ourselves to others, using our own experiences to provide hope and comfort. And we can always remember with great solemnity and gratitude Him who suffered most to make it all right for us. And by so doing we can be strengthened to bear our burdens in peace. And then, the 'works of God' might be manifest.” MomentsMightPainRememberChallengesBearsSorrowGratitudeComfortBurdenMemorableManifestPeculiarAgonySweetnessFinding PeaceExtendingSolemnityMemorable Moments Author:Richard C.

“We sometimes think that being grateful is what we do after our problems are solved, but how terribly shortsighted that is. How much of life do we miss by waiting to see the rainbow before thanking God that there is rain? Being grateful in times of distress does not mean that we are pleased with our circumstances. It does mean that through the eyes of faith we look beyond our present-day challenges. This is not a gratitude of the lips but of the soul. It is a gratitude that heals the heart and expands the mind.” ThinkingMindLooksHeartMeanDoeSoulSometimesProblemEyeWaitingChallengesMissingCircumstancesGratitudeRainGratefulLipsHealThank GodRainbowDistressBe GratefulPresent DayThrough The Eyes Author:Dieter F.

“I have learned from experience that happiness is an acquired skill. Children are one of the greatest lessons in happiness, constantly challenging us to enjoy the moment, as the next one will not be the same. Gratitude is essential to happiness. Every time our children rush up to us and smile, we have something to be happy about; every time we get out of bed and can take a deep breath and go out for a walk, we have something to be happy about-that is the essence of a happy existence. Happiness is a muscle we must use, or it will wither away.” ChildrenMomentsUseHappinessNextEnjoyChallengesWalksExistenceGratitudeLessonsBedSkillsEssentialsEssenceBreathsOur ChildrenMusclesI Have LearnedDeep BreathThe Next OneTake A Deep Breath Author:Marianne Williamson
