PEACE of MIND
Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on Him who has all things safely in His hands.
- Elisabeth Elliot

Attitude
What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude toward it. Every opportunity has a difficulty, and every difficulty has an opportunity.

One Moment at a Time
Live one moment at a time and that moment for God. Don't think of a holy life for that will drown you by its' immensity, but remember that a holy life is a series of holy moments.
"Forgiveness is the fragrance the flower leaves on the heel of the one who crushed it."
-David Jeremiah
“Be happy when you are blamed and accused wrongly, for then you have the chance to see all the bitter, hostile or self-pitying responses that your sinful soul wants to spew out – as if these puny things could in any way defend you! Watch and see if any of these poisons come out of you when your spirit is pricked by an accusation. Only then can you see yourself as you are, and confess thy sin that is within you and forsake yourself again into the Lord’s care.”
-Teresa of Avila, Majestic is Your Name
In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"It is possible to be happy withough having perfect health . . . Thank goodness my happiness doesn't come from my joints, but from my heart."
-Beverly LaHaye
"Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies."
Margaret Stunt
"If you believe in a God who controls the big things, you have to believe in a God who controls the little things. It is we, of course, to whom things look "little" or "big."
Elisabeth Elliot
“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows; it empties today of its strength.”
Corrie ten Boom
