Think on These Things
I know what beauty is, for ThouHast set the world within my heart;Its glory from me will not part;I never loved it more than now. ~George MacDonald I believe there is a power in finding beauty that enlivens the heart, shapes the mind and grounds the soul. As Paul said, “think on these things.” Continue reading Think on These Things

Be the living expression of God’s kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile. ~ Mother Teresa Why not make a difference in the lives … Continue reading Be kind
