“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.
Advent is coming and we are preparing. Wednesday, Clara and I tried our hands at wreath making. They turned out nicely and we've decided to make it an annual event.

They're beautiful. What did you use to make the green one?
I'd forgotten about wreaths like the first. That is just what we need here! Last here I made a huge green spray for the back of the boat that shed needles into the water for a month. Hey, I didn't have to vaccuum!
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
