Friendship

“Oh, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pour them all out, as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.” Dinah Mulock Craik

Practicing the Presence of God

He is always near you and with you. Do not leave Him by Himself. You would think it uncivil to leave a friend by himself who was visiting you. Why abandon God and leave Him by Himself? ~Brother Lawrence

Mother Teresa Quote

Thoughtfulness is the beginning of great sanctity. If you learn this art of being thoughtful, you will become more and more Christlike, for His heart was meek and always thought of others.

At the Finish Line

Aaron ran his first Pinewood Derby race this morning. Before running the race, he received a lot of advice from those who had been there before as to how to build the "fast" car, yet chose to stick to his own original design. He did well…taking third place in his den. Still, I think the Red Hot Chili award that he won suited his car even more than the third place win. (How did those judges know about the Howeys and their chili peppers?!?)

The contenders

Why didn't we think of this design? I guess we would have if Jason had been here!

Thoughtful Quote

Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong. ~Anne Frank
