Sabbath Keeping

by Sandra Bennett
Sabbath Keeping· TCF

~ Sadie Lovebug ~

“Through all this, Job did not sin nor did he blame God.”
~ Job 1:22 ~



“Some people’s blameless lives are to blame for a good deal.” ~ Dorothy Sayers ~

“If your daily life seems poor, 
do not blame it; 
blame yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; 
for the Creator, there is no poverty.” 
~ Rainer Marie Rilke ~

“We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers – but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But it’s always your fault because if you wanted to change, you’re the one who has got to change.” ~ Katherine Hepburn ~

“A good leader takes more than his share of the blame,
a little less than his share of the credit.”
~ Arnold H. Glasow ~

“The search for a scapegoat is the easiest of all hunting expeditions.” 
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower ~

“Sinful heart blames.”
~ Toba Beta ~

“My life motto is Do my best so I can’t blame myself for anything.” ~ Magdalena Neuner ~
“We may place blame, give reasons, and even have excuses; but in the end, it is an act of cowardice to not follow your dreams.” ~ Steve Maraboli ~ 

“You can’t blame gravity for falling in love.”
~ Albert Einstein ~

“A man can fail many times but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.”
~ John Burroughs ~ 

“If you reveal your secrets to the wind,
you should not blame the wind 
for revealing them to the trees.”
~ Khalil Gibran ~

“Blame has no purpose and it is a lousy teacher.” ~ John Yokoyama ~ 
“One of the ways that people avoid taking responsibility for their role in their own pain is what I call the BP’s…blame and projection.” ~ Iyania Vanzant ~ 
“Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.” 
~ Thomas a Kempis ~
“When you blame others, you are affirming that you have no power, and your existence is only a reaction to the power of others…Until you stop blaming and become positively self-critical you are not going to move forward…Blame anchors us into the past; a place we cannot change. Acceptance frees us to the future…Empowerment is never about blame; it is about taking personal responsibility…Stop blaming and start being!” ~ Bryant McGill ~


“Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”;
for God cannot be tempted by evil, 
nor does He Himself tempt anyone.”
~ James 1:13 ~ 



Please let me know if you have a name you’d like added to the prayer list.

    Love the look of Sadie . . . although I might think about finding a bigger bed . . . (said with a pleasant smile, very late in the week, trying to catch up with posts and comments)
    Happy Non Laboring Weekend Sandra . . .
