Spread Love Everywhere You Go

"Spread love everywhere you go: First of all in your own house… let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness."

- Mother Teresa

Where Are Your Eyes?

"Cautiously, I reach for my mask. As I lower the facade of lies, I feel the sunshine on my face. I can feel a connection with God so powerful and unique, like it's the first time. I no longer see the people around me, but I can feel their eyes on me. I do not care. My eyes are no longer on them, wondering what they are thinking of me, but instead on God."

Letting Go Of The Junk

"...Americans do need to lighten up. But not in our attitudes toward consuming things we don't need, but in letting go of the junk (stuff we don't need!) and habits (poor eating!) that we've sadly become addicted to."

The Love That Parent's Have

""Lots of people think love's supposed to be like that big oak," he said, "tall and strong. Not me. I know better. Love's supposed to be like that pine. Able to take a beating and still stand so it can give shelter and shade to others. That's the love parents have."

In The End, Love Always Holds On

"I think if you love him as much as he says he loves you, then distance is irrelevant. I think that wherever either of you are, the other one will always be. Faith is a powerful thing. Hope, too. But love? Nothing stops love. And if it's as strong as you say it is, then that love will always be something you can stand under whenever the rain starts pouring."
