Maral Posted May 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrishMiSer Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 THE MAYONNAISE JAR AND COFFEE When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar... and the coffee. A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. the students laughed. "Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided,"I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life." "The golf balls are the important things - your God, family, your children,your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full." "The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car." "The sand is everything else-the small stuff." "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls." "The same goes for life." "If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room or the things that are important to you." "Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness." "Play with your children." "Take time to get medical checkups." "Take your partner out to dinner." "Play another 18." "There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal." "Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter." "Set your priorities." "The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked." "It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

Maral Posted July 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 St. Theresa's Prayer: May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.... May you be content knowing you are a child of God.... Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

aSoldier Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 If God is your co-pilot, swap seats. Love the heart that hurts you, but never hurt the heart that loves you. In the dark? Follow the Son. We don't change God's message -- His message changes us. If you can't sleep, don't count sheep. Talk to the Shepherd. If you don't like the way you were born, try being born again. May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house. Feed your faith and doubt will starve to death. Don't go digging where God has buried your sins. WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning. He who angers you controls you. Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it. Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop. A clean conscience makes a soft pillow. Don't wait for the hearse to take you to church. A family altar can alter a family. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing. Give God what's right, not what's left. Exercise daily. Walk with the Lord. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone! The will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not protect you. The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us. A coincidence is when God performs a miracle and decides to remain anonymous. To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world. Laughter is life's shock absorber. Live your life in the manner that you would like your kids to live theirs. You don't have to attend every argument you're invited to. The Bible contains the vitamins of soul health. Take all the Bible you can on reason and the rest by faith. A friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. The most essential element in any home is God. The fact you are down isn't as important as whether you are satisfied in being there. There are two kinds of grace: saving grace and disgrace. No man ever got lost on a straight road. The most valuable antiques are old friends. Keep your temper -- nobody wants it. Real friends are those who, when you feel you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel you've done a permanent job. A careless word may kindle strife A cruel word may wreck a life A timely word may level stress A loving word may heal and bless Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace. Christianity is a verb. God gives and forgives. Man gets and forgets. Following the path of least resistance is what makes rivers and men crooked. No God - No peace. Know God - Know peace. A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. When you're having bad dreams, turn your pillow over. The good dreams are on the other side. Worry is like a rocking chair -- it gives you something to do but doesn't get you anywhere. Thank God for what you have -- Trust God for what you need. The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears. One who lacks courage to start has already finished. Never doubt in the dark what God told you in the light. Don't be unhappy if your dreams never come true -- just be thankful your nightmares don't. You can't keep trouble from coming, but you needn't give it a chair to sit in. Freedom is not the right to do as you please, but the liberty to do as you ought. Don't become discouraged. It may be the last key in the bunch that will open the door. God still speaks to those who take the time to listen. God looks not to the quantity of the gift but to the quality of the giver. Great minds discuss ideas; normal minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. A Christian is a living sermon whether or not he preaches a word. When we have done what we can, God will do what we can't. Every time you turn green with envy, you are ripe for trouble. Genuine faith is assuring, insuring and enduring. When God measures a man, he puts the tape around the heart. The truth is one thing for which there are no known substitutes. Charity begins anywhere and should have no end. God makes a promise. Faith believes it. Hope anticipates it. Patience quietly awaits it. A wise man will desire no more than he can get honestly, use wisely, and leave cheerfully. Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. Confessing your sins is no substitute for forsaking them. No man has a right to do as he pleases, except when he pleases to do right. As a man grows older and wiser, he talks less and says more. If you want to defend Christianity, practice it!
