TANGIBLE WEALTH UNTOLD

"You may have tangible wealth untold;

Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.

Richer than I you can never be -

I had a mother who read to me."

- Strickland Gillian

TO EVERY SEASON

"To every season its proper act of joy,

To every age its natural mode of grace,

Each vision its hour, each talent we employ

Its destined time and place."

- A.D. Hope

DARKNESS BEFORE THE DAWN

"Do not be fooled by the darkness

before the dawn."

- Florence Scovel Shinn

GOOD GROUND

I have seen love,

Fallen on unbroken ground,

Blow with the first wind.

I have seen love,

Laid in a shallow row,

Unearthed with the lightest rain.

But pain

Is a plow

That opens earth for planting.

My heart is ready now.

Hurt-furrowed, it has depths

Designed for sowing.

Oh, love that lands here

Finds good ground for growing.

Carol Lynn Pearson

IN GOD'S PRESENCE

"I am in God's presence night and day

And he never turns His face away."

- William Blake

HAPPINESS

 

"The only way that I know to be happy is to live the gospel. It is not possible to sin enough to be happy. It is not possible to buy enough to be happy or to entertain or indulge yourself enough to be happy. Happiness and joy come only when you are living up to who you are."

- Sheri L. Dew

THE WORLD

"Every spirit builds itself a house;

And beyond its' house a world;

And beyond its' world a heaven;

Know then that world exists for you."

-  Ralph Waldo Emerson

IN THE LIGHT

"Believe in the dark

what God told you in the light"

- Corrie Ten Boom

A TOUCHING HEART

"A life that touches the hearts

of others

lives on forever."
