Pastor's Column

2^nd Sunday Ordinary time

January 20, 2008

 

 

I know it is a bit late for New Year's resolutions, but someone shared this with me and I think there is some wisdom in a few of these thoughts!

 

 

·        Life isn't fair, but it is still good.

·        When in doubt, just take the next small step.

·        Life is too short to waste time hating someone

·        Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

·        You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree

·        When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

·        Make peace with the past so it doesn't haunt the present.

·        If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

·        Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry: God doesn't blink.

·        You can get through almost anything if you just stay put in today.

·        Over prepare, and then go with the flow.

·        No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

·        A question to ask: "In five years, will this matter?"

·        Always choose life.

·        Forgive everyone everything.

·        What other people think of you is none of your business.

·        However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

·        Your job won't take care of you when you are sick: your family will.

·        Believe in miracles.

·        God loves you for who you are, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

·        Your children get only one childhood: make it memorable.

·        Read the psalms. They cover every human emotion.

·        Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

·        Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

·        Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

·        Life isn't tied with a bow, but it is still a gift.

·        All that truly matters in the end is that you have loved and are loved.
