“My second favourite household chore is ironing. My first is hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint,”
this anonymous quote came to my mind:
“Life is full of little duties. Worrying about them, grumbling about them, dwelling upon them makes the duties shackles which bind us, but just doing the duties makes them wings.”
“IN THE FULL FACE OF AFFLICTIONS IT IS HARD TO SEE ANY SENSE TO THINGS THAT BEFALL US AND WE WANT TO QUESTION THE FAIRNESS OF A FAITHFUL GOD. HOWEVER, THESE MOMENTS CAN BE THE MOST MEANINGFUL OF OUR LIVES.” – Charles Hembree
“WHEN ONE DOOR OF HAPPINESS CLOSES, ANOTHER OPENS, BUT OFTEN WE LOOK SO LONG AT THE CLOSED DOOR THAT WE DO NOT SEE THE ONE THAT HAS BEEN OPENED FOR US.” – HELEN KELLER
“Es liegt im STILLESEIN eine wunderbare Macht der Klaerung, der Reinigung, der Sammlung auf das Wesentliche.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“Not only do we have a message to bring to the world, we are a message to the world.” – Philip Crooks
“According to Scriptures happiness is never something that should be sought directly; it is always something that results from seeking something else.” – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Ich wuenschte , ich haette verstanden, dass das Thema unseres Lebens nicht Suendlosigkeit, sondern Leben in der Gegenwart Gottes ist.” – Mike Yaconelli
