In God

"God cannot give us 

a happiness 

and peace 

apart from Himself, 

because 

it is not there. 

There is 

no such thing." 

.

~ C.S. Lewis 

.

 Happiness and peace are achieved 

when your body, mind and soul are 

in balance and you are consciously 

striving to do the will of a loving Higher Power. 

 Things cannot create happiness. 

 Places cannot create happiness. 

 Only the loving family and friends who share 

 the things and places we have 

can bring us serenity, peace of mind, and happiness. 

True happiness is to give all the glory to the God who created all. 

 Happiness is in God. 

 Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Do Right

“You cannot 

make yourself 

feel something 

you do not feel, 

but you can 

make yourself 

do right 

in spite of your feelings.” 

.

~Pearl S. Buck 

.

 Don't know what you feel, 

don't know how to feel, 

 that is not an excuse for not doing the next right thing. 

 Practice patience, slow down, quiet the noisy mind, 

 learn to listen, do not think about what you are going to say 

 while someone else is talking, take a deep breath and wait 

 for the feeling to arise from deep within your soul. 

 Today, to do right is to do the will of your loving Higher Power. 

 God's will is for us all is to be kind, be loving, 

be patient and tolerant, be forgiving and to do right.

Order

"Happiness is 

not a matter 

of intensity 

but of balance, 

order, 

rhythm 

and harmony."

.

~Thomas Merton 

.

 Stop trying sooooo hard. 

 Intensity is a lack of faith. 

 Relax. Let go and let God. 

 Balance is feeling the rhythm of the Earth. 

Order is God's World, just as it is supposed to be. 

Harmony is to go with the flow.

Deep Within

"The law 

is not thrust 

upon man; 

it rests deep 

within him, 

to waken when 

the call comes." 

.

~ Martin Buber 

.

 Simple, follow the feelings from deep within. 

 Laws are for those who cannot accept 

 the responsibility for doing what is right. 

 The body is weak, it can't be trusted to be responsible, 

 the body loves instant gratification, has no true feelings, 

 and it will definitely get you in trouble with the law 

 if you follow its urges. The mind thinks too much, 

it can justify even the worst irresponsible acts, 

and is prone to forget the law at the worst times.  

The soul knows, the gut feeling that wrote the laws,  

the feelings that lead to happy, joyous and free. 

 Happiness is feeling right from deep within. 

 Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Christmas

"He who

.

 It is not the day, 

it is the spirit of birth and living. 

 It is not in the giving, 

it is in the sharing. 

 It is not in the memory making, it is the faith and hope 

that the future world will be a better place because you 

believe in good will to all men.

Peace On Earth

''Then pealed 

the bells more 

loud and deep: 

"God is not dead; 

nor doth He sleep; 

The wrong shall fail, 

The right prevail, 

With peace on earth, 

good will to men."

.

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 

.

 Today, put yourself on the right side 

of your loving Higher Power, the side that will prevail.  

On the wrong side we have the mean, selfish, self-centered, 

and angry people who have yet to accept God's world, 

just as it is. 

 They are not bad people, they are sick people who 

have no faith, no hope and many are under the influence 

of the Devil's devices. 

 Prayers do work... To be on the right side show kindnesses, 

share the love, be patient and tolerant of the sick and suffering,

Is Enough, Enough ??

"It is not 

how much you give, 

but how much you 

have left over 

after giving 

that God counts" 

.

~ Godwin Penrhyn-Lowe 

.

 Still giving. 

 Not just because it is the season, 

 but because it is the reason. 

 It is the thought that counts. 

 When you give of yourself you are validating that you

 are the person God wants you to be.

 Enough is in the eyes of the child who has been taught kindness and love. 

 Enough is in the heart of a mother who knows her family is safe and warm

 Enough is in the soul of the man who is willing to share the love 

and his world with his fellow man.

Words

"Words should 

be employed 

as the means, 

not the end; 

language is 

the instrument, 

conviction is the work."

.

 ~ Joshua Reynolds 

.

 Talk, talk, talk, talk.... 

 All talk and no action makes Jack a dull boy. 

 The more words one uses correctly 

the better the meaning is conveyed, however,

 if the listener or the reader does not know the word 

or interprets the word differently, the instrument is 

making a noise that is falling on deaf ears. 

 Walk the walk, show me by your conviction and actions 

 that you are willing to be kind, loving, patient and tolerant, 

 the person your Higher Power expects you to be. 

 Thank you God.

 and that is a promise. 

 If you are sad, lonely, or despondent, that is O.K., 

because when you get your mind on straight, 

you will better understand what happiness really is. 

Today, just remember not to jump off of the end of the seesaw 

when you love is on the other end, remember to hold onto your love 

when the roller coaster is making its plunge,  and remember to kiss 

your love when your Ferris wheel car is both at the top and at the bottom. 

 Today, remember to buy the souvenir so that you and your love 

can enjoy the memory of the rides. 

Happiness is a promise to just have fun.

Do not worry or fret concerning what is God's will for you, 

 just live every day to it's fullest. 

 God will give you the chance, it is your choice 

to do the next right thing.

 or it may be your legacy, but it is not ours to know what 

God's purpose for us is to be, it is just our responsibility 

not to miss the chance when God gives it to us. 

 If you do not know what your talent is, do not be dismayed. 

 A smile, a kind word, the desire to make this world a better place, 

 a God incident, there are no coincidences, God already knows 

what your talents are.

Into every life a little rain must fall.

Learn to mourn, learn to grieve, let go and let God.

Routine

"The less routine 

the more life. " 

Amos Bronson Alcott 

 Bad habit, rut, routine 

or just a simple

Their opinions are theirs, their emotions are theirs,

their choices are theirs, and if you are patient and tolerant,

kind and loving, God will lead you to find people, places

"Fear

seek to put balance in your life.

Do not try to hide from fear by ritual or worship,

but allow your soul to bask in the Light of Knowing,

a loving Higher Power who will teach you faith.

Happiness is giving your fears to God.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Retribution

"An

eye

for

an

eye

makes

the

whole

world

blind." ~ Mahatma Gandhi



Retribution is payment for both good and bad,

but what about the accidents?

Could the accident have been prevented or was the

action premeditated??

People, places and things in your life will be better

if you seek the better and the accidents will occur

less frequently.

Keep kindness and love in your heart, practice patience

and tolerance and you will not have as many accidents.

It is no accident when you are doing the will of your

loving Higher Power, the God of your understanding.

Today, be not judge and jury, ask your Higher Power

to show you how love can be the best retribution.

Happiness is no accident and requires no retribution.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

ME

"Whoever

degrades

another

degrades me,

And

whatevere

is done

or said

returns

at last to me." ~Walt Whitman


God will not let you get away with anything that is not kind,

loving, patient and tolerant and the best that you can be.

Guilt, shame and remorse are the rewards for being mean,

selfish, self-centered, grandiose and arrogant because in

the end it is always just between you and God.

Life is the mirror and the people, places and things that you

choose to surround yourself with will reflect your true heart.

Today, no matter where you go, no matter who you go with,

let your mirror be bright and shiny and a good reflection

of the Great Creator who made us all.

Happiness is knowing that what comes back to ME is God sent.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Sin

"Sin

is too

stupid

to see

beyond

itself."


Alfred Lord Tennyson


Selfish, self-centered, arrogant, grandiose,

it is all about me, it is all sin.

It is a sin to tell a lie.

HOW it works is to be;

Honest, Open-minded and Willing,

to do the next right thing, to do the will

of a loving God of your understanding,

and to share self with others.

Today, don't be stupid, be kind, be loving,

be patient and tolerant and be the person

God wants you to be.

Happiness is being free from sin.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Action Not Words

"Most men

make little

use of their

speech than

to give

evidence

against their

own understanding." ~ George Savile


Just keep talking and you will eventually tell me

how little you know.

Today, it is the actions, not the words, that will

show God and His world where your heart is.

Be kind, hold the door open, and if you need words,

please and thank you will suffice.

Be loving, smiles and hugs work well, and if words are

needed, tell someone that God loves them and so do you.

Be patient and tolerant, bite your tongue, no toe tapping,

no big sighs, just words of encouragement to get on with

doing the will of your loving Higher Power.

Be the person God wants you to be, a good example,

all action and very few words.

Need a word, can't find the right expression, pray,

and allow the Light of the Universe to guide you.

Happiness is saying the next right thing.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

ME and the Boss




PS..unless your words are in a book that comes from the heart..

Clockmaker

"I

cannot

imagine

how the

clockwork

of the

universe

can exist

without

a clockmaker." ~ Voltaire


There is a God today, and it is not you.

Don't worry, be happy, take, make, do whatever

you can to have this life be the best there ever was.

The only thing standing between having a great day

and having a lousy day is your attitude.

People, places and things will try to waste your time,

God will give you the chances, the choices are yours.

Today, be God's Timex, take the beating

and just keep on ticking.

Today, forgive and forget, get on with your life,

make this a day in which your efforts will make

the Clockmakers world hum like Rolex.

Today, avoid the cuckoo, unless you enjoy having

God pull your chains.

Remember, kindness and love are great time keepers.

Happiness is being on time to do God's will.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Simplicities

"We

struggle

with the

complexities

and

avoid

the simplicities." ~ Norman Vincent Peale


Simple is I.

I love, I need and God will provide.

Complex is we.

Is that what we, us, they, want or need ?

Worry, stress, unrealistic expectations, fear,

and all of the negative thoughts and feelings

could drive a insane person to drink.

When is enough, enough??

Keep it simple; when I think of others and I do,

from a kind and loving heart, what I and my God

have the chance to do, things are done successfully.

Sanity is simplicity.

Happiness is knowing the simplicities of success.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Charity

"Flatter

not thyself

in thy

faith in God

if thou hast

not charity

for thy

neighbor." ~ Francis Quarles


Faith without action is dead.

God has made this world reciprocal:

you give, you get;

you get and you share what you get,

and you will receive more.

Good alone is selfish, self-centered, smug,

complacent, grandiose, self-flattering and mean.

Have faith, God was wise to make us feel better

only by sharing the good.


Charity begins at home, a good place to practice, but

it lives on in the works that do the will of a loving God,

a Higher Power of your understanding, your acts of

random kindness and unconditional love.

Happiness is knowing that charity is from the heart.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Mass Motivated

"Am I

motivated

by what

I

really want

out of life --

or am

I

mass-motivated?"

~ Earl Nightingale


Are you trying to keep up with the Joneses ??

Do you believe those really stupid advertisements

you are bombarded with daily ??

Do you believe what your family and friends tell you

is the whole truth and nothing but the truth ??

Do you believe that what the teacher, the preacher,

the baker, the candlestick maker or the Indian chief,

told you was the last word from God ???

Don't believe.

Today, KNOW in your heart that you are being motivated

by the needs, not the wants, of doing the will of your

Higher Power, the loving God of your understanding.

Know that you are going to leave this earth with exactly

what you had when you arrived.

Happiness is being motivated by true and pure love.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

A First-Rate Mind

"The
third-rate
mind
is only happy
when it is
thinking with
the majority.

The
second-rate
mind
is only happy
when it is
thinking with
the minority.

The
first-rate mind
is only happy
when it is thinking." ~ A.A.Milne


God made you unique, think unique.

Think kind, your own variation.

Think loving, your own formula.

Think patient and tolerant, take a deep breath, relax,

be the person God wants you to be.

If your brain is on backwards, think backwards first.

Thinking is never a burden to the first-rate mind

that thinks of others before self.

Think gratitude, you are not a majority of one, and you

are never a minority in the eyes of your Higher Power.

Happiness is a having first-rate mind.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
