Your prayers for others and the universe make a difference!

Affirmations are powerful and wonderful thoughts that serve you, your body, your immune system, your mind, and your spirit.

An ancient cornerstone of prayer is that our desire to thank God is itself God's gift. Be grateful.

Part of the forces that sent Sam trudging across the white prairies was love of life, a gladness for health and youth that filled him as Mozart's gayest music filled him; and part of it was his belief that the earth on which he walked had been designed by the greatest of artists, and that is a man had the courage and fortitude not to fail it, it would not fail him. In Sam's rough mountain-man philosophy those persons who became the wards of sadness and melancholy had never summoned for use and t

There are still blue skies and rainbows and days bathed in sunlight. There are colorful shade trees filled with sweet bird songs. And there are wishing stars in the heavens as well as angels in God's service. So lift up your eyes. Refuse to be unhappy.

The most beautiful moments in life are moments when you are expressing your joy, not when you are seeking it.
