Question of the day...

Hello Florida friends! I am soooo looking forward to Friday. My family and I are going on a short vacation to SC for my hubby's family reunion. We need the time away so bad. So it should be nice. Today my dad will be in surgery ...please pray for him. What's your favorite poem, quote, scripture? Anything that has been said or written that has meant something to you. Inspire us!! Feel free to share more than one.... and remember... The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotations. - Isaac Disraeli One scripture that I love and have loved since I was a little girl is... Phil. 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. hugs to you all, Sallykate

One of my favorite poems is by Christopher Marlow The Passionate Shepherd to His Love Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods, or steepy mountain yields. And we will sit upon rocks, Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks, By shallow rivers to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals. And I will make thee beds of roses And a thousand fragrant poises, A cap of flowers, and a kirtle Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle; A gown made of the finest wool Which from our pretty lambs we pull; Fair lined slippers for the cold, With buckles of the purest gold; A belt of straw and ivy buds, With coral clasps and amber studs; And if these pleasures may thee move, Come live with me, and be my love. The shepherds's swains shall dance and sing For thy delight each May morning: If these delights thy mind may move, Then live with me and be my love.

" family is not about whos blood you have but who loves you"

"Hate is not a family value" "Equal rights are not special rights" "Well behaved women rarely make history" Can you tell im a member of Nation Organization for Women lol...

"Laughter is the best medicine" "Get busy living or get busy dying" "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." That's all that come to mind right now.

Not sure who wrote this but it always helps me when times are bad. Hugs, Kat When you are busy talking you cannot hear what others are saying. In the same way, when your mind is consumed with thinking and analyzing, you cannot learn what life has to tell you. The ability to think is a useful, powerful and beautiful thing. Yet like all powerful things, thoughts are best when used in moderation. If you become too consumed with your own thoughts, you can fail to see what is right in front of you. If you are too obsessed with analyzing every move, word or thought, you become unable to think at all. On a regular basis, take a quiet, peaceful retreat from your thoughts. Spend some time not guessing or worrying, not considering or agonizing, but just being and enjoying your own awareness and focus on the good in your life. Life can be wonderful when it is filled with complex thoughts. And those exciting times are even better when they're balanced with quiet, peaceful times. Make it a point every so often to empty your mind. Then you'll be able to fill it with all the good things you want and need.

For Today Only... Anger not, Worry not Be grateful and humble Do your work with appreciation Be Kind to all. -- Mikao Usui (Reiki Master) Lori

One of my all time favorite scriptures is Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint". NKJV ~Roiann

what does not kill us makes us stronger. today is the first day of the rest of our lives

I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow human being let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it; for I shall not pass this way again. --Stehen Grellet "The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in him." -- Nahum 1:7 luvitsunnyB~Lo/goal:ave:
