SHORT BUT SWEET:
From the deck of a cruise ship, a passenger saw a small island with a bearded man shouting and desperately waving his hands. “Who is that?” the passenger asked the steward. “I’ve no idea. Every year when we pass by, he goes nuts.”
SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK:
“Take a walk outside – it will serve you far more than pacing around in your mind.” Rasheed Ogunlaru
“Never grow a wishbone where your backbone ought to be.” Clementine Paddleford
“The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they’re alive.” Optimus Prime
“We are born in one day. We die in one day. We can change in one day. And we can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in just one day.” Gayle Forman
“There is nothing that can take the pain away. But eventually, you will find a way to live with it. There will be nightmares. And everyday when you wake up, it will be the first thing you think about. Until one day it will be the second thing.” Raymond Reddington
ONE SENTENCE SERMON:
Learn to love with all your heart and accept the unlovable side of others for anyone can love a rose, but only a great heart can include the thorns.
