                "What are you girls having so much fun with?"

True?  

I’ve seen better days, but I’ve also seen worse.

I don’t have everything that I want, but I have all I need.

I woke up with some aches and pains, but I woke up.

My life may not be perfect, but I am blessed.

True?    

Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the surest way to destruction.

Reaches out to help people who are disadvantaged & make the
world we live in a better place to live.

Genesis 2:  The LORD God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being.
Romans:  One man said no to God and put many people in the wrong; one man said yes to God and put many in the right.
Matthew 4:  “Get away, Satan! It is written: The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve.”

For a soul to be fully developed, it must have developed a capacity for contemplative leisure, for thinking things through, for reflection and realization, for growth in understanding.  Reflection is the seedbed of artistry of any kind.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
