“Sabi is the color of haikai. It is different from tranquility. For example, if an old man dresses up in armor and helmet and goes to the battlefield, or in colorful brocade kimono, attending (his lord) at a banquet, [sabi] is like this old figure.” IfsMenDifferentLordFiguresExampleColorDressesOld ManTranquilityBattlefieldsArmorColorfulAttendingHelmetBanquetsKimonos Author:Matsuo Basho
“He will be the best Christian who has Christ for his Master, and truly follows Him. Some are disciples of the church, others are disciples of the minister, and a third sort are disciples of their own thoughts; he is the wise man who sits at Jesus' feet and learns of Him, with the resolve to follow His teaching and imitate His example. He who tries to learn of Jesus Himself, taking the very words from the Lord's own lips, binding himself to believe whatsoever the Lord hath taught and to do whatsoever He hath commanded-he I say, is the stable Christian.” MenTryingBelieveChristianJesusChristChurchLordWiseFeetTeachingExampleTaughtMastersThirdsLipsMinistersBeing The BestResolveStableDiscipleBindingBest Christian Author:Charles Spurgeon

“We do not merely give a religious education because that would seem to imply the possibility of some other education, a secular education, for example. But we hold that all education is divine, that every good gift of knowledge and insight comes from above, that the Lord the Holy Spirit is the supreme educator of mankind, and that the culmination of all education (which may at the same time be reached by a little child) is that personal knowledge of and intimacy with God in which our being finds its fullest perfection.” GivingMayChildrenLittlesSeemsSpiritReligiousLordMankindExamplePossibilityDivineHolyPerfectionVery GoodInsightSupremeIntimacyHoly SpiritSecularEducatorIntimacy With GodCulminationReligious EducationPersonal Knowledge Author:Charlotte Mason

“The scriptures provide one of the best ways to find our course and stay on it. Scriptural knowledge also provides precious protection.

“One of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.” That's a perfect example of trust. Sometimes you can trust and hope that everything is going to be rosy and God doesn't promise that.

“Lord, help us to see in your crucifixion and resurrection an example of how to endure and seemingly to die in the agony and conflict of daily life, so that we may live more fully and creatively. You accepted patiently and humbly the rebuffs of human life, as well as the torture of the cross. Help us to accept the pains and conflicts that come to us each day as opportunity to grow as people and become more like you-make us realize that it is only by frequent deaths of ourselves, and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully, only by dying with you that we can rise with you.” PeopleHumansWellsMaySelfHelpingPainDesireDiesOpportunityGrowsRealizingAcceptingLordDyingExampleLike YouConflictCrossesEndureAcceptedHuman LifeTortureEach DayDaily LifeResurrectionAgonySelf CenteredCrucifixionRebuff Author:Mother Teresa
