Quotes for the Week

|
Recently I have run across several quotes that have made me stop and think. Today I wanted to share a few of them with you. They touch several subject matters -- our life's purpose, how we treat others, finding pleasure in our lives, how amazing it is that Jesus walked this earth -- to name just a few. I hope they give you something to think about as you move forward into this new week.


"You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense." ~Rick Warren

"It's amazing -- not that I walked on the moon, but that He walked on earth." ~Neil Armstrong

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them." ~Mother Teresa

"Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it." ~Thomas Jefferson

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." ~Mother Teresa




Quote on Silence

"True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment."
~William Penn

"Be still and know that I am God...."

Quote on Joy

|
“Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. It is a choice based on the knowledge that we belong to God and have found in God our refuge and our safety and that nothing, not even death, can take God away from us.”

-Henri J.M. Nouwen
