Sabbath Keeping

“No one has ever become poor by giving.” ~ Anne Frank ~

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” ~ Emerson ~

“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.” ~ Charles Dickens ~

“Helping someone might not change the world but it may change the world for that person.”

“You have not lived today unless you can do something for someone who can never repay you.”
~ John Bunyan ~

“A kind gesture can reach a wound only compassion can heal.” ~ Steve Maraboli ~

“The best antidote I know for worry is work. The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired. One of the great ironies of life is this: He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served.” ~ Gordon B. Hinckley ~

“Never underestimate the difference YOU can make in the lives of others. Step forward, reach out and help. This week reach to someone who might need a lift.” ~ Pablo ~

“I don’t want to live in the kind of world where we don’t look out for each other. Not just the people that are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I can’t change the way anybody else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my bit.” ~ Charles de Lint ~

“Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves.” ~ Horace Mann ~

“You have to life a person up before you can really put them in their place.” ~ Criss Jami ~
