shelter

It is in the shelter of each other that the people live

Irish Proverb

Bigness comes from doing many small things well. Individually, they are not very dramatic transactions. Together, though, they add up.
Edward S. Finkelstein

Good judgement comes from experience. 
Experience comes from bad judgement. 

Jim Horning

You give but little when you give of your possessions. 
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

Kahlil Gibran

A few bits from Bible Alive

In life while most of us are not being persecuted like the Jews in the time of Antiochus, we are under attack in more subtle and deadly ways. The beast attacking us is the devil and the forces of evil under his control.

"Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8)

In the end God will condemn and defeat all sin and evil, and his kingdom will be fully established.

One of the remarkable things about fearing God is that when we grasp it we fear nothing else, whereas if we do not we fear everything else.

A CELTIC BENEDICTION. 
Deep peace of the running wave to you. 
Deep peace of the flowing air to you. 
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the son of peace to you.

It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day-to-day basis.

Margaret Bonnano

Life is too important to take seriously.

Corky Siegel

You will find that the mere resolve not to be useless, and the honest 
desire to help other people, will, in the quickest and delicatest 
ways, improve yourself.

John Ruskin

We do not stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

"We cannot change what we do, until we change what we know." R. Cline

Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery, 
Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present.

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety

- Aesop

"Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; 

A sense of humour to compensate him for what he is."

Detachment is one of the most important factors for the attainment of Enlightenment. The attainment of Enlightenment is by way of non-attachment. Most of life’s troubles are caused by attachment. We get angry; worry; we become greedy and complain bitterly. All these causes of unhappiness, tension, stubbornness and sadness are always due to attachment.
