“Trust is like a vase.. once it's broken, though you can fix it the vase will never be same again.”

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again. ~Maya Angelou

“Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.”
Stephen R. Covey

Today ~

“Today is a most unusual day, because we have never lived it before; we will never live it again; it is the only day we have.Today can be a healthy unusual day for you -- and for others -- if you take time to give someone a smile . . . to express a word of kindness . . . to lend a helping hand to someone in need . . . to write a note of gratitude . . . to give a word of encouragement to someone who is temporarily overcome with problems . . . to share a portion of your material possessions with others.”
William Arthur Ward quotes

One day, a man went to visit a church.

He got there early, parked his car, and got out.

Another car pulled up near and the driver got out
and said, "I always park there! You took my place!"

The visitor went inside for Sunday School,
found an empty seat and sat down.

A young lady from the church approached him and
stated, "That's my seat! You took my place!"

The visitor was somewhat distressed by this rude
welcome, but said nothing.

After Sunday School, the visitor went into the sanctuary and sat down.

Another member walked up to him and said,
"That's where I always sit! You took my place!"

The visitor was even more troubled by this treatment, but still He said nothing.

Later as the congregation was praying for Christ
to dwell among them, the visitor stood up, and his appearance began to change.

Horrible scars became visible on his hands and on
his sandaled feet.

Someone from the congregation noticed him and
called out, "What happened to you?"

The visitor replied, as his hat became a crown of thorns, and a tear fell from his eye,

"I took your place."

Thought for the day ~

"We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking only to learn that it is God shaking them."
- Charles West

“Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.”

“Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.”
Mark Overby
