"What I do you cannot do; but what you do, I cannot do. The needs are great, and none of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful."– Mother Theresa

I love this quote....helps with "analysis paralysis."  I can't do everything, but I can do something.  I just need to get off my duff and do it!

My Love, my Valentine...

What would your three words be???

Life is a mystery...

"Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it no less than in the excitement and gladness; touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace." Frederick Buechner



My Resolution for 2011-Thankfully Discontent

I've always thought that contentment was a great virture to pursue.  In this case I pledge to be discontent...

“The Christian life should be a state of thankful discontentment or joyful dissatisfaction! We live every day thankful for the amazing grace that fundamentally changes our lives, but we should not be satisfied. Why not? Because, when we look at ourselves honestly, we have to admit that there is still need for personal growth and change. We are not yet all that we could be in Christ. We are thankful for the many things in our lives that would not be there without His grace, but we should not settle for partial inheritance. We should want nothing less than all that is ours in Christ! In this sense, God does not want us to be content with less than what He wants for us. He calls us to continue to wrestle, meditate, look, consider, resist, submit, follow, and pray until we have been completely transformed into His likeness.”

- Paul David Tripp & Timothy S. Lane, “How Christ Changes Us By His Grace” in The Journal of Biblical Counseling (Spring 2005), 20.

A New Year's Resolution

I don't know who said this but it's so true....

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. 
 Live simply.  Love generously.  Care deeply.  Speak kindly. 
Leave the rest to God."

Merry Christmas!

He's not very smiley, but his tail's waggin' and he and I wish you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!
