The souls of men are not our enemy,
but the spirit that deceives the soul, is. Those, that wait upon the Lord, Shall renew their strength. Ephratan Arba-elleh |

Christianity is not a theory or speculation, but a life; not a philosophy of life, but a living presence. -- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Christian life consists of faith and charity. -- Martin Luther King The purpose of Christianity is not to avoid difficulty, but to produce a character adequate to meet it when it comes. It does not make life easy; rather it tries to make us great enough for life. -- James L. Christensen |

A quote from Max Lucado... another widely reknowned Christian author...
"...'If anyone is thirsty,' Jesus once said, 'let him come to me and drink' (John 7:37). Admission of thirst doesn't come easy for us. False fountains pacify our cravings with sugary swallows of pleasure. But there comes a time when pleasure doesn't satisfy. There comes a dark hour in every life when the world caves in and we are left trapped in the rubble of reality, parched and dying. Some would rather die than to admit it. Others admit it and escape death. 'God, I need help!' So the thirsty come. A ragged lot we are, bound together by broken dreams and collapsed promises. Fortunes that were never made. Families that were never built. Promises that were never kept... And we are very thirsty. Not thirsty for fame, possessions, passion or romance. We've drunk from those pools. They are saltwater in the desert. They don't quench - they kill. 'Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness...' Righteousness. That's it. That's what we are thirsty for. We are thirsty for a clean conscience. We crave a clean slate. We yearn for a fresh start. We pray for a hand which will enter the dark cavern of our world and do for us the one thing we can't do for ourselves - make us right again." |

WOW!!!!!Creativesoul, you have no idea how deeply comforting that quote is to me at the moment. That's something I could not comprehend years ago, and learned of its value after the fact. Thanksgiving is every day for me, my friend....every day!!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING, ALL!!!!

A few quotes I posted in the coffeehouse...thought you would enjoy. For with God nothing shall be impossible. -- Luke 1:37 Some things have to be believed to be seen. - Ralph Hodgson Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. -- Hebrews 11:1 Faith leads us beyond ourselves. It leads us directly to God. -- Pope John Paul II No cloud can overshadow a true Christian but his faith will discern a rainbow in it. -- Bishop Horne The person who has a firm trust in the Supreme Being is powerful in his power, wise by his wisdom, happy by his happiness. -- Joseph Addison I am one of those who would rather sink with faith than swim without it. -- Stanley Baldwin Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. -- Helen Keller Faith in God, faith in man, faith in work: this is the short formula in which we may sum up the teachings of the founders of New England,—a creed ample enough for this life and the next. -- James Russell Lowell Let us have faith that right makes might; and, let us to the end dare to do our duty. -- Abraham Lincoln |
