"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."
- Melody Beattie
The shipwrecked sailor had spent several years on a deserted island. Then one morning he was thrilled to see a ship offshore and a smaller vessel pulling out toward him.
When the boat grounded on the beach, the officer in charge handed the marooned sailor a bundle of newspapers and told him, "With the captain's compliments. He said to read through these and let us know if you still want to be rescued."
"If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor."
- Eleanor Roosevelt
"Even in the trials of life, if we have eyes to see them, we can find good things everywhere we look."
- Joanna Gaines
Can a Vicar ever win?If he visit’s his flock he’s nosey.
If he doesn’t - he’s lazy or a snob.
If he preaches longer than 10 minutes it’s too long.
If he doesn’t - he can’t be bothered to prepare for services.
If he runs a car he’s worldly.
If he doesn’t he’s always late for appointments.
