Thank you for finding these beautiful and inspiring words to share with us. Happy Christmas! xx
ReplyDeleteMy post this afternoon is about the grands going to the nursing home! Your idea❤️
ReplyDeleteJohn and I often share conversations re compassion. These are wonderful quotes you have shared here and very timely in these difficult days. I know so many who are battling tremendous burdens...we should all be more understanding toward one another.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you this Christmas. xo
Although I've complained about my job for years, I know it's God's way of exposing me to people and I've begun to realize what a blessing it is to have little interactions with customers. Someone with a frowning face can be cajoled into a smile with a few friendly words. Small chances to change their outlook...and mine. Love these quotes!
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of Pom Pom and the girls for being the hands and feet of Jesus at the nursing home. Good idea you had, Sandra! :)
Lovely post, I hope you have a wonderful last week before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBless You, and hugs!
Always find something to think about in your quotation posts, Sandra.
ReplyDeleteAnd just an FYI: both the Dalai Lama and the Pope often post on twitter ;)
