To cleave the truth of our own lives,

 to lift and look beneath our own stones, 

is to see glimmers at least of His life, 

of His life struggling to come alive in our lives, 

His story whispering like a song through the babble and drone of ours.

May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. 

- St. Therese of Lisieux

Now you who are loved of God, 

step forward into this new day

appointed by him, that you might 

journey through its hours

in the peace and grace and the love of God. 

-Douglas McKelvey, Every Moment Holy 

What lies behind us and what lies before us are small 

matters compared to what lies within us.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Kid, you’ll move mountains.
—Dr. Seuss

There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart.- Celia Thaxter

You are so much sunshine in every square inch. 

-Walt Whitman 

If our hearts have been tempted this day 

to believe anything about ourselves or others 

that does not take into account your creation, 

your mercy, your sacrifice, your grace, 

your forgiveness, your redemption, 

and your unshakable love, O God, 

remind us again of these truths, 

giving us faith enough to believe

 and hope enough to choose 

to embrace them again and again. 

-Douglas McKelvey, Every Moment Holy 

Oh Lord, how shining and festive is your gift to us, if we
only look, and see.

–Mary Oliver
