The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.

"Delay is the deadliest form of denial."

^{James 3:17-18}
Real wisdom, God's wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced. You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor.

‎In the end it doesn't matter if every thing is in pieces; it's how you hold them.

"I like nonsense - it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a
necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life
through the wrong end of a telescope...and that enables you to laugh at all of life's realities." 

Theodor S. Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss

"The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We
go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it
doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is
that we embark." Barbara Hall

"Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not
really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else."

"Be life long or short, its completeness depends on what it
was lived for." David Starr Jordan

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear;
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.
~John Newton

"If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right,
you'll probably never do much of anything."

Win Borden

"Never bear more than one trouble at a time. Some people bear
three kinds --- all they have had, all they have now, and all
they expect to have."
 

Edward Everett Hale

“Each day offers us the gift of being a special occasion if we can simply learn that as well as giving, it is blessed to receive with grace and a grateful heart."

"Enter His gates with thanksgiving, & into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him & bless His name." Psalm 100:4

"It is by loving and not by being loved that one can come nearest to the soul of another."

"Never let your memories be greater than your dreams." Doug Ivester

‎"Love what you do. Believe in your instincts. And you’d better be able to pick yourself up and brush yourself off every day." Mario Andretti

"If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and everyday you have the opportunity to write a new page." Mark Houlaha

‎"I have faith that God will show you the answer. But you have to understand that sometimes it takes a while to be able to recognize what God wants you to do. That's how it often is. God's voice is usually nothing more than a whisper, and you have to listen very carefully to hear it. But other times, in those rarest of ...moments, the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell." Nicholas Sparks
