One word, one thought can bring another joy

"The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person's suffering and bring that person joy."

 

~Thich Nhat Hanh

"Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor."

"Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor."

 

~Thich Nhat Hanh

Don't wait for suffering to end to be happy

"The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don't wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy."

 

~Thich Nhat Hanh

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

"Because you are alive, everything is possible."

 

~Thich Nhat Hanh

Every day everything is a miracle!!!

"People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle."

 

~Thich Nhat Hanh

I will make you fruitful...

Make Room TODAY'S SCRIPTURE "I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. You will still be eating last year's harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new" (Leviticus 26:9–10, NIV) TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria God wants to bless you and multiply you. He wants to increase you above and beyond what you could ever ask, think or imagine. But sometimes, we fill our lives with so much that we simply don't have room to receive all that God wants to give us. People fill their lives with good things, noteworthy obligations and impressive accomplishments. But "good" can be the enemy of "best." We have to take the time to evaluate what we have in our hands and be willing to move some things out in order to make room for the new thing God has for us. Today, take some time to evaluate your life. Be open to what God wants to do in and through you. If your hands are full, maybe it's time to use what you have to bless other people. Don't let holding on to yesterday keep you from God's best. Instead, make room because He has abundant blessings in store for you. A PRAYER FOR TODAY Heavenly Father, today I open my hands and my heart to You. I choose to release anything spiritually, physically or emotionally that would keep me from Your best. Search my heart, God, and show me where I need to make adjustments to make room for You. In Jesus' Name. Amen. — Joel & Victoria Osteen

 

Everything springs only from our self

"When you think everything is someone else´s fault, you will suffer a lot. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy. Pride leads to violence and evil. The truly good gaze upon everything with love and understanding."

 

~His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Happiness comes from within

"Human happiness and human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself. It is wrong to expect some final satisfaction to come from money or from a computer. Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."

 

~His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Being nothing, we are everything

We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and being nothing, you are everything. That is all.-B

Courage: I'll try again tomorrow

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow. ~Mary Anne Radmacher

Not I but God who was working through me by His grace.

"But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out His special favor on me — and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by His grace"

(1 Corinthians 15:10, NLT)

Free me from my troubles

Psalm 4:1 (New Living Translation)
 
 ¹ Answer me when I call to you,
     O God who declares me innocent.
  Free me from my troubles.
     Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

Even the people who drive us crazy can be our teacher

"If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher." 

 

 ~Pema Chödrön

Kindness and Compassion are eternal

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.

Dalai Lama

Enthusiasm

" Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. "

 

 --Ralph Waldo Emerson

To live in the present moment is the miracle.

 "To live in the present moment is a miracle. The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now." 

 

Tich Nhat Hahn

A smile can bring happiness to anyone even if they don't know you.

1. There are at least two people in this world 

that you would die for... 



2.. At least 15 people in this world 

love you in some way. 



3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you 

is because they want to 

be just like you. 



4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, 

even if they don't 

like you. 



5. Every night, 

SOMEONE thinks about you 

before they go to sleep. 



6. You mean the world to someone. 



7. You are special and unique. 



8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. 



9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, 

something good comes from it. 



10. When you think the world 

has turned its back on you 

take another look. 



11. Always remember the compliments you received.. 

Forget about the rude remarks. 



So........... 

If you are a loving friend, 

send this to everyone, 

including the one that sent it to you. 

If you get it back, then they really do love you. 





Good friends are like stars......... 

You don't always see them, 

But you know they are always there.. 



"Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another, Even Though 

Sometimes we don't understand what the new door means



I would rather have one rose and a kind word 

from a friend while I'm here 

than a whole truck load when I'm gone. 


Happiness keeps You Sweet, 

Trials keep You Strong, 

Sorrows keep You Human, 

Failures keeps You Humble, 

Success keeps You Glowing, 

But Only 

God keeps You Going

Arise, shine, for your light has come

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you"

(Isaiah 60:1, NIV).

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Today, God wants to exceed your expectations! He has amazing things stored up for you. He wants to take you places that you've never dreamed and do things in your life that you've never imagined. His glory is rising upon His people. Things are going to fall into place so that you can accomplish what God has placed in your heart. Even the hidden dreams that you've given up on, God has not given up on. He is going to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all you could ask, think or imagine! Now is the time to arise and shine in Him!

Your mind may try to talk you out of it, but if you'll listen with your heart, it will resonate on the inside of you. Don't let discouragement hold you back or keep you down. Rise up every morning and declare, "Today is the day that the Lord has made." Choose to rejoice in Him. Choose to expect His goodness. Choose to arise and shine and receive every spiritual blessing He has in store for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, I come to You today with an open and humble heart. Thank You for choosing me and for preparing a bright future for me. I will arise and shine. Let everything I do bring honor to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

- Joel & Victoria Osteen

Smile in the Oncology Room

Just visited with my mother-in-law receiving chemo-related treatment all day in the Oncology room of a local hospital. She was sitting back playing crossword puzzles like she was sitting in a lounge chair on the beach. She appeared almost as relaxed talking about the procedures like a professor teaching a class.

What an example for the rest of us.

Living Life Rules from Brother Roderic

Rules from God for 2010 1. Wake Up !! Decide to have a good day. "Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" Psalms 118:24 2. Dress Up !! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart." I Samuel 16:7 3 . Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul." Proverbs 13:3 4. Stand Up!!..... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as w e have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10 5. Look Up !!... To the Lord. "I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 6. Reach Up !!... For something higher. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path." Proverbs 3:5-6 7. Lift Up !!... Your Prayers. "Do not worry about anything; Instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING." Philippians 4:6 Send this to the people you care about.. I thought this was mighty special, just like you. Pass this on and brighten someone ' s day, and remember: God answers prayer.

Our smile is the root to peace work

If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.

 
         ~Thich Nhat Hanh 

Our capacity for smiling can make peace

Smiling is very important. If we are not able to smile, then the world will not have peace. It is not by going out for a demonstration against nuclear missiles that we can bring about peace.It is with our capacity of smiling, breathing, and being peace that we can make peace.

 
         ~Thich Nhat Hanh 

Your smile can be the source of your joy.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
