Sabbath Keeping

"You made my whole being;

you formed me in my mother's body.

I praise you because you made me

in an amazing and wonderful way.

What you have done is wonderful.

I know this very well."

~ Psalm 139: 13-14 ~

"Antonio Stradivari was a seventeenth-century violin maker whose name in its Latin form, Stradivarius, has become synonymous with excellence. He once said that to make a violin less than his best would be to rob God, who could not make Antonio Stradivari's violins without Antonio.
  He was right. God could not make Stradivarius violins without Antonio Stradivari. Certain gifts were give to that craftsman that no other violin maker possessed.
  In that same vein, there are certain things you can do that no one else can. Perhaps it is parenting, or constructing houses, or encouraging the discouraged. There are things that only you can do, and you are alive to do them. In the great orchestra we call life, you have an instrument and a song, and you owe it to God to play them both sublimely." 
~ Max Lucado ~
"Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt ~

"If you spend your time hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart, then you're allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind."

"A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval." ~ Mark Twain ~

"Where ever you go,

 so you might as well enjoy the company."

"Self-care is never a selfish act-it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer to others." ~ Parker Palmer ~
"Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are."
~ Malcolm S. Forbes ~

"You have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn't worked.

Try approving of yourself and see what happens."

“There is nothing so rewarding as to make people realize that they are worthwhile in this world.”  ~ Bob Anderson ~

"It ain't what they call you,

it's what you answer to."

~ W. C. Fields ~ 

“I will not be "famous," "great." I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one's self: to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.” ~ Virginia Woolf ~
“Sometimes the hardest part of the journey is believing you're worthy of the trip.” 
~ Glenn Beck ~

"If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; 

how important you can be to people you may never even dream of.

There is something of yourself that you leave 

at every  meeting with another person."

~ Mr. Rogers ~ 

"You are God's children whom He loves,

so try to be like Him. Live a life of love just as

Christ loved us and gave Himself for us as a

sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice to God."

~ Ephesians 5:1-2 ~
