1. Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, But it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout. 2. So why is a car's windshield so large and the rear view mirror so small? Because our past is not as important as our future. So, look ahead and move on. 3. Friendship is like a book. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write. 4. All things in life are temporary. If it’s going well, enjoy it, that won't last long. If it’s going badly, don't worry, that won't last long either. 5. Old friends are gold! New friends are diamond! If you get a diamond, don't forget the gold! Because to hold a diamond, you always need a base of gold! 6. Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, God smiles from above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!" 7. When God solves your problems, you have faith in His abilities; When God doesn't solve your problems, He has faith in your abilities. 8. A blind person asked St. Anthony, "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" He replied, "Yes, losing your vision!" 9. When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them; Sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you. 10. Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles, it takes away today's peace .
I agree with Bill. Thanks for posting some good for food for thought, Allison. Although I have seen this list before, I like how you highlighted the second portion for more emphasis. Sometimes, it is far to easy to get down in the dumps of despair; especially, when life throws us a curve ball. Keeping a positive attitude is essential way to remain healthy in body, mind, and spirit. While I was at the library the other day, there were little inspirational note cards with similar food for thought quotes free to take and pass on to others. I think the bulletin board had a caption to Pay It Forward slogan, so I took one for myself and passed on a few to some near and dear to me. Thanks again for spreading good cheer inspirational quotes!
Thanks Magalina, Ike & Bill. People on this forum make "posting" worthwhile. It is nice to get comments on something that I wasn't even sure would interest anyone.
