SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK:

“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” Robert Swan

“It’s like everything in football – and life. You need to look, You need to think, You need to move, You need to find space, You need to help others. It’s very simple in the end.” Johan Cryuff

“Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know” Pema Chodron

“I have spent my whole life scared, frightened of things that could happen, might happen, might not happen, 50 years I spent like that. Finding myself awake at three in the morning. But you know what? Ever since my diagnosis, I sleep just fine. What I came to realise is that fear, that’s the worst of it. That’s the real the enemy. So, get up, get out in the real world  and you kick that enemy as hard as you can.” Walter White [Breaking Bad]

“I find a duck’s opinion of me is very much influenced by whether or not I have bread.” Mitch Hedberg

“My only relief is to sleep. When I’m sleeping, I’m not sad, I’m not angry, I’m not lonely, I’m nothing.” Jillian Medoff

“In the soviet army, it takes more courage to retreat than advance.” Iosif Stalin

“ I put my heart and soul into my work and have lost my mind in the process”  Van Gogh

ONE SENTENCE SERMON: Some people aren’t loyal to you, they are loyal to their need for you – once their needs change, so does their loyalty.

SHORT BUT SWEET: A Priest sent in his apologies for the Sunday morning service, claiming that he was ill with flu. One of the members however said he had seen the Priest on his way to a football game. After the service, the minister went to visit the Priest, “Father,” he said, “I have information that you were not sick at all this morning, but went to watch a football game.” The Priest protested: “That’s a vicious lie! And I’ll show you my FISH to prove it!”

SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK:

“A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting  a coat around a little boy’s shoulder to let him know the world hadn’t ended.” Bruce Wayne

“The best security blanket a child can have is parents who respect each other.”  Jane Blaustone

SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK:

“And me? I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it’s not some place you can look for. Because it’s not where you go. It’s how you feel for a moment in your life when you’re a part of something. And if you find that moment….it lasts forever.”Leonardo DiCaprio

“If you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.” Lisa Kleypas

“We must not become complacent over any success. We should check our complacency and constantly criticize our shortcomings, just as we should wash our faces or sweep the floor every day to remove the dirt and keep them clean.” Mao Zedong

“We don’t find love, it finds you. It’s got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what’s written in the stars.”Anais Nin

“We all have two lives. The second one starts when we realise we only have one.” Tom Hiddleston

“You can’t always choose the path you walk in life, but you can always choose the manner in which you walk it.” John O’Leary

“The world is yours, as well as ours, but in the last analysis, it is yours. You young people, full of vitality, are in the bloom of life, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning. Our hope is placed on you. The world belongs to you.” Mao Zedong

ONE SENTENCE SERMON: You know why it’s hard to be happy? It’s because we  refuse to let go of the things that make us sad

WEBSITE OF THE WEEK: www.strangeboat.org. Strangeboat helps to promote organ donation through focusing on people and their stories – donor families,    recipients and those awaiting organs.

SHORT BUT SWEET!  A 4-year-old was fascinated by the various appliances that some of the elderly used—canes, walkers, wheelchairs. One day her mother found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. The mother braced herself for the inevitable question that was to come. Instead, her daughter turned and whispered: “The  tooth fairy is never going to believe this!”

That guy’s going to New York, but I’m sending his bags  to Brazil.”

SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK:

“I am waiting for the apologies you owe yourself, the beg for forgiveness to the body that has kept you alive. Too often you point your fingers at the flaws you think you find, too often you tear down when you should appreciate. Tell your legs you love them for the roads they have walked you down, tell your arms how thankful you will remain for all they’ve helped you carry. I cannot abide the insults thrown at the body that holds you; each piece is perfect and deserves to be told so.” Tyler Knott Gregson

“Alone isn’t a bad place to be, especially when it’s the alternative to distrust and unhappiness.” Carolyn Brown

“Of all the paths you take in life make sure a few of them are dirt.”  John Muir

“Look for three things in a person – intelligence, energy and integrity. If they don’t have the last one, don’t even bother with the first two.” Warren Buffet

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” John Lennon

“A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.” David Brinkley

“We humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don’t allow our bodies to heal, and we don’t allow our minds and hearts to heal.”  Thich Nhat Hanh

ONE SENTENCE SERMON: A child is like a butterfly in the wind….some can fly higher than others, but each one flies the best it can.

WEBSITE OF THE WEEK: www.firstthingsfirst.org. First Things First is an organisation dedicated to strengthening family values.

NEVER STOP: Never stop caring about the little things in life, Never stop dreaming or give into strife , Never stop building bridges that leads to better tomorrow, Never stop trying or give into sorrow, Never stop feeling amazed at the beauty that surrounds you, Never stop hearing the music or give into the blues Never stop smiling and look forward to each new day ,Never stop shining in your own special way.

BE A WINNER: The Winner is always part of the answer, The Loser is always part of the problem. The Winner always has a programme, The Loser always has an excuse. The Winner says ‘Let me do it for you’ The Loser says ‘That is not my job’ The Winner sees an answer for every problem, The Loser sees a problem in every answer. The Winner sees a green near every sand trap, The Loser sees two or three sand traps near every green. The Winner says ‘It may be difficult,but it is possible’ The Loser says ‘ It may be possible, but it’s too      difficult’.

“Until we have seen someone’s darkness we don’t really know who they are. Until we have forgiven someone’s darkness, we don’t really know what love is.”Marianne Williamson

“I don’t think anyone ever gets over anything in life; they merely get used to it.” Douglas Coupland

“The chances of me using my legs again are pretty bleak. Life is short and I intend to honour those who died by living the happiest and most fulfilling life possible.” Clodagh Cogley [ Berkeley survivor]

“If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster.” Isaac Asimov

“As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good to my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “Love Of Oneself.”” Charlie Chaplin

“Don’t dig up in doubt what you planted in faith.”   Elisabeth Elliot

“If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders.” Abigail Van Buren

“That’s always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people would want to be around someone because they’re pretty. It’s like picking your breakfast cereals based on colour instead of taste. John Green

ONE SENTENCE SERMON: This summer, put your phone away for a few days, make some memories that no-one knows about, make some memories that are just yours.

A TODDLER’S RULES OF OWNERSHIP: 1. If I like it, it’s mine. 2. If it’s in my hand, it’s mine. 3. If I can take it from you, it’s mine. 4. If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine. 5. If it’s mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way. 6. If I’m doing or building something, all the pieces are mine. 7. If it looks just like mine, it’s mine. 8. If I saw it first, it’s mine. 9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine. 10. If it’s broken, it’s yours.

SHORT BUT SWEET: Little Nancy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbour peered over the fence. Interested in what the little girl was up to, he politely asked, “What are you up to there, Nancy?” “My goldfish died,” replied Nancy tearfully, without looking up, “and I’ve just buried him.” The neighbour was concerned. “That’s an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn’t it?” Nancy patted down the last heap of earth and then replied, “That’s because he’s inside your stupid cat!”
