New possibilities!


Welcome to a new day, and new possibilities! Whatever may have happened yesterday, today is an opportunity to be all we were created in His image to be. I invite you to embark on the greatest journey of all, to Know the reason for your season of living.


I leave you today with an extended quotation ( actually a compilation ) from the late great Albanian missionary to the poorest of the poor in Calcutta, to spur you on your quest to be all you were meant to be in His image:


Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.

Good works are links that form a chain of love.

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out.

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out.

To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.

It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters. Jesus said love one another. He didn't say love the whole world.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
