The Ugly Duckling was so happy and in some way he was glad that he experienced so much hardship and misery; for now he could fully appreciate his tremendous luck and the great beauty that greeted him. And he rustled his feathers, held his long neck high, and with deep emotion he said: "I never dreamt of so much happiness, when 1 was the Ugly Duckling!" Hans Christian Anderson

Heb9:14 - "Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our heart

The surest thing about life is death. The answer to death is Resurrection. Jesus died that we might live...Indefinitely!!, not just for 75 or 90 or even 100 years, Joshua declared, "So be very careful to love the Lord your God" (23:11), and "choose today whom you will serve... "But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord." (24:15)... All the options and there are many, but only one story that leads us to our Salvation... Jesus!!!... Reverend Morrison

Matt6:27,33,34 - "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" - "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Thank God every morning you get up that you have something which must be done, whether you like it or not. Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you a hundred virtues the idle will never know ... Charles Kingsley

Your children are not your children. They are sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday... Kahlil Gibran

Thank you Charles, for sharing the depth of joy at this very moment with Cara. Now you know my tears of joy when God first allowed your father to walk the same path with his eldest son 'many moons ago' I love you Son!

Accepting change is never easy - even when it is certain that we who object to change are changing at the same time we object to the changes around us. Whether you fight change or accommodate it gracefully depends largely on your perception of what lies ahead. For the child of God, moving towards heaven only sharpens the focus on eternity. This gives light to negotiate the changes gracefully. Your faith can make the difference... - Harold J. Sala

Jamesl:17 - "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding; as it should ... - Desiderata

Jer29:11-13 - "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes."

Co12:8-10 "Don't let anyone lead you astray with empty philosophy and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the evil powers of this world, and not from Christ. For in Christ the fulness of God lives in a human body, and you are complete through your union with Christ. He is the Lord over every ruler and authority in the Universe."
