“God doesn't expect us to perform for him. He loves us always-when we're disappointed or hurt or making a mess of things. Sometimes we speak to him in a language that only he can understand. What matters to him is that we are vulnerable, that we are completely ourselves. We are work, too, but God cherishes us.” SometimesMatterGodSpeakLanguageHurtVulnerableMessCherishDisappointedWhat Matters Book:The Joyful Journey Source: The Joyful Journey

“These are the things I learned: share everything, play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours.

Learn some and think some and draw some and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day.
