Christ’s life unfolds, in part, as we learn to appreciate the gifts He has given us. How easy it is to blame others for our unhappiness, but we are only unhappy when something other than Christ has become our life. (For example) The husband or wife who has Christ as their life, comes to their spousal relationship already satisfied. They do not come continually looking to made happy by another person’s attention; they bring Christ’s life to their spouse.

~Francis Frangipane

The proof that you love someone is not that you have warm affectionate feelings toward them. The proof is in your actions, your words and your sacrifice, your willingness to give the best of yourself and your willingness to get nothing in return.

Katherine Walden

When you’ve trusted Jesus and walked his way When you’ve felt his hand lead you day by day But your steps now take you another way, start over.

When you’ve made your plans and they’ve gone awry When you’ve tried your best and there’s no more try When you’ve failed yourself and you don’t know why, start over.

When you’ve told your friends what you plan to do When you’ve trusted them and they didn’t come through And now you’re all alone and it’s up to you, start over.

When you’ve failed your kids and they’re grown and gone When you’ve done your best but it’s turned out wrong And now your grandchildren have come along, start over.

When you’ve prayed to God so you’ll kn ow his will When you’ve prayed and prayed and you don’t know still When you want to stop cause you’ve had your fill, start over.

When you think you’re finished and want to quit When you’ve bottomed out in life’s deepest pit When you’ve tried and tried to get out of it, start over..

When the year has been long and successes few When December comes and you’re feeling blue God gives a January just for you, start over.

Starting over means ‘Victories Won’. Starting over means ‘A Race Well Run’ Starting over means ‘The Lords’ Will Done’. We need not just sit there … START OVER.
