Sabbath Keeping

by Sandra Bennett
Sabbath Keeping· TCF

31 Oct

“You keep him in perfect peace 
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.”
~ Isaiah 26:3 ~

“When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.” ~ Fred Rogers ~

“We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.”
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower ~

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness;
only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate;
only love can do that.”
~ Martin Luther King, Jr. ~

“This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” for me.It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.” ~ George Bernard Shaw ~

“What you leave behind is not what is engraved
in stone monuments,
but what is woven into the lives of others.”
~ Pericles ~

“God cannot give us a happiness and peace 
apart from Himself,
because it is not there.
There is no such thing.”
~ C. S. Lewis ~ 
“For to set the mind on the flesh is death,
but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.”
~ Romans 8:6 ~

Please pray for ~ 11 year old Sawyer’s family…he passed away Friday ~ Anita ~ Nancy ~ Julie ~ Bonnie Jean ~ Sandra ~
