How sad it is that we give up on people who are just like us.
There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.
Our worlds needs more time to wonder and reflect but there is too much fast paced constant distraction.
It always helps to have people we love beside us when we have to do difficult things in life.
All I know to do is to light the candle that has been given to me.
I believe that appreciation is a holy thing--that when we look for what's best in a person we happen to be with at the moment, we're doing what God does all the time. So in loving and appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something sacred.
