I know God won’t give me anything I can’t handle.  I just wish He didn’t trust me so much.

Mother Teresa

All God’s giants have been weak men, who did great things for God because they believed that God would be with them.

Hudson Taylor

What the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.

Napoleon Hill

Guard well your spare moments.  They are like uncut diamonds.  Discard them and their value will never be known.  Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do little things as though they were great, because of the majesty of Jesus Christ who does them in us.

Blaise Pascal

There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit

1 Corinthians 12:4

Dear Lord, Thank you for the promise of Your word.  Thank you for new opportunities each day to serve you. Thank you for the strength and calm you give when I face mountains and for the energy You so freely provide to climb them.   I know that my dreams are gifts from You. Help me to always be open to go after them and to see where they may lead.  Remind me that little dreams are just as important as big dreams, because when little dreams are accomplished new ideas and opportunities are often born. Bless me with patience in my work so I may turn every irritation in the mazes of life into a beautiful thing. Remind me to make each day special, never worrying about tomorrow, trusting only in the activities of today and knowing that you are always by my side - leading. Amen.
