Quote for this week.

The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer. -Henry David Thoreau, naturalist and author (1817-1862)

Have you ever had someone ask you a question, and when you answered, you knew they were not listening? This has always been one of my pet-peeves, I can't stand when people pretend to care about your thoughts & answers.
It makes you feel like the person cares about you when they actually listen to what you have to say. It takes little effort.


"If there ever comes a day when we can't be together keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever" Winnie-the -Pooh

This is cute and I think it is sweet. Winnie the Pooh a source of wisdom and wit. ;)


“ Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. ” (Ephesians 4:29)

Something we always need to be reminded of. The things that come out of our mouth can hurt or lift up. We should guard our speech... We should strive to build others up.

What’er My God Ordains Is Right text: Samuel Rodigast
(1675)( a favorite text of Bach's , for his church music)

1. Whate’er my God ordains is right;
His Holy will abideth;
I will be still whate’er He doth,
And follow where He guideth.
He is my God,
Though dark my road,
He holds me that I shall not fall;
Wherefore to Him I leave it all.

2. Whate’er my God ordains is right,
He never will deceive me;
He leads me by the proper path,
I know He will not leave me.
I take, content,
what He hath sent;
His hand can turn my griefs away
And patiently I wait His day.

3. Whate’er my God ordains is right,
Though now this cup in drinking
May bitter seem to my faint heart,
I take it all unshrinking.
My God is true,
each morn anew
Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,
And pain and sorrow shall depart.

4. Whate’er my God ordains is right,
Here shall my stand be taken;
Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
Yet I am not forsaken.
My Father’s care is round me there;
He holds me that I shall not fall,
And so to Him I leave it all.
