Hope





"Today is not

yesterday:

we ourselves

change;

how can our

works and

thoughts,

if they are

always to be the fittest, continue always the same?

Change, indeed is painful; yet ever needful;

and if memory have its force and worth,

so also has hope." ~ Thomas Carlyle


The only constant in God's world is that things will change.

What you hope for, what you work for, what you live for,

even your understanding of your Higher Power, will change.

Grow wise, accept, have gratitude, embrace the challenge

of the change and know that God will not bring to you

anything that He will not see you through.

Always remember that the joy is in the journey,

if you are happy now you will be happy

when you reach your destination.

Happiness is hope that things will change.

Happiness is helping someon help themselves.

Strive For Truth




"In a

controversy

the instant

we feel

anger

we have

already

ceased

striving for the truth,

and have begun

striving for ourselves." Thomas Carlyle


What is true to me may not be true to you,

and who but God is to argue who is right.

To keep balance in God's world there is always

a right and a wrong, a dark and a light, a yin and a yang,

a past and a future, a knowledge and a belief and if we are

doing the will of a loving Higher Power we will never argue,

we will have faith that the truth is always somewhere

near the middle.

God's middle, not yours and not mine.

Today, be kind, be loving, be patient and tolerant

and avoid controversy.

Happiness is striving to discover God's truth.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
