“True friends see who we really are, hear our words and the feelings behind them, hold us in the safe harbor of their embrace, and accept us as we are. Good friends mirror our best back to us, forgive us our worst, and believe we will evolve into wise, wacky, and wonderful old people. Dear friends give us their undivided attention, encourage us to laugh, and entice us into silliness. And we do the same for them. A true friend gives us the courage to be ourselves because he or she is with us always and in all ways. In the safety of such friendships, our hearts can fully open.” PeopleWayGivingBelieveHeartFeelingsFriendshipBehindsAttentionAcceptingLaughingWiseWonderfulWorstSafeMirrorsSafetyEmbraceForgivingDearEvolveGood FriendOld PeopleTrue FriendHarborsOur WordsDear FriendWackySillinessUndivided AttentionSafe Harbor Author:Sue Thoele

“The kind of gratitude that receives even tribulations with thanksgiving requires a broken heart and a contrite spirit, humility to accept that which we cannot change, willingness to turn everything over to the Lord -even when we do not understand, thankfulness for hidden opportunities yet to be revealed. Then comes a sense of peace. “When was the last time you thanked the Lord for a trial or tribulation?

“The "sayings" of a community, its proverbs, are its characteristic comment upon life; they imply its history, suggest its attitude toward the world and its way of accepting life. Such an idiom makes the finest language any writer can have; and he can never get it with a notebook. He himself must be able to think and feel in that speech - it is a gift from heart to heart.” ThinkingWorldWayFeelsHeartAbleLanguageCommunityAttitudeAcceptingSpeechCharacteristicsCommentFinestNotebookIdiomHeart To HeartAccepting Life Book:Not Under Forty Source: Not Under Forty
“People think that they have no right to judge a fact - all they have to do is to accept it. Thus from the moment that technics, the State, or production, are facts, we must worship them as facts, and we must try to adapt ourselves to them. This is the very heart of modern religion, the religion of the established fact, the religion on which depend the lesser religions of the dollar, race, or the proletariat, which are only expressions of the great modern divinity, the Moloch of fact.” PeopleThinkingTryingHeartStatesMomentsFactsRaceAcceptingModernExpressionJudgingDependsWorshipDollarsProductionsDivinityProletariat Author:Jacques Ellul
“There is nothing--no circumstance, no trouble, no testing--that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no circumstance will cause me to fret, for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is--that is the rest of victory!” IfsLoveFirstsHeartMaySoulMomentsGodEyeChristianPastJoyPurposeJesusCausesUnderstandingChristMy OwnAcceptingLordGoneTroubleAcceptanceBecomingVictoryCircumstancesSorrowBlessingRefuseChristian InspirationalLiftsTouchingTrust In GodThronesPastorTestingCommitment To GodConfidence In GodGod Within UsTouch MeGod Is In ControlGod Works In Mysterious Ways Author:Alan Redpath
