I like this best, but then there is Seneca.
Awesome quotes! I particularly like the Native American saying, and the quote by R.H. Lascelle (never heard of him before).
What a great way to start my day! Feel a little guilty for 'taking up too much room' today, but my cast won't let me venture too far away from home, alas.
Blessings dear heart!
What a beautiful, uplifting post.
Great post! I love the quotes…so much truth……..
Lovely thoughts and good points to ponder!
Yes, yes, yes, yes! I thank you for this post that reminds me where fear comes from, and what really thinking about it and putting into proper perspective the thoughts about fear can do. I especially appreciate Maya Angelous' words on this topic as it seems when I am most distressed the look back into history and our forbearers attitude toward any kind of suffering offers perspective,and lets me remember we have the ability to overcome any obstacle and hindrance, especially if we call on our God and Savior for wisdom and discernment.
This week I actually made Sabbath Sunday, on Sunday!
Once again, thank you.
Blessings, Misha
I don't recall who said it – but Courage is fear that has said it's prayers. Yes ma'am and you and I both know what the fear and the praying feel like! To a courageous woman – be blessed this week – we know how the story ends and the good guys DO win.
Sunday blessings to you.
2 Timothy 1:7 is one of my favorite scriptures.
