Zequatanil Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Be like a river in generosity and giving help. Be like a sun in tenderness and pity. Be like night when covering other's faults. Be like a dead when furious and angry. Be like earth in modesty and humbleness. Be like a sea in tolerance. Be as you are or as you look like.Rumiblessings and love,Suzanne Edited December 5, 2012 by Quetzal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrDevon Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Every grain of sand on the beach was once part of a solid rock. Over time each drop of rain that fell upon it had its effect: minute as it was, each drop served its purpose. In the Creator's time, the rock was worn down, and all that remains is sand. So it is with each obstacle in our path. If it is God's will for us to accomplish a goal, be as the rain, and do what you are here to do, and be satisfied that you have done it. Not every obstacle is conquered immediately. The One who created rain also controls how much change it can accomplish. Sometimes it takes many drops and much time, but fear not - the goal will be achieved in God's time. Do not concern yourself with what other drops have to do - just accomplish that which is for you to do and let the One who controls all achieve the goal through you.--Brother Devon (excerpt from a Sermon called "Raindrops on Rock")/shameless plug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atwater Vitki Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 mererdog...if that was YOUR dad, gulp, I think that means we're brothers....I heard that routinely in my house as well until my bro and sis left when I was 7. Then it was what Bro Kaman said...."crack you between the horns"....I'm getting the feeling I was adopted out around age 10...don't blame 'em a bit! Bro. Devon - shameless plug or not, good stuff! Reallllly good stuff!From an old Viking saying:"Look not into the Spirit of a Man, for the Warrior,Look not into the Warrior, for the meaning of his Soul,Look not into the Soul, for the meaning of his Spirit,Rather, speak to his prey and you will learn his very Being."(It meant enough to me to have it tattooed around the Viking slaying a 2 headed dragon that covers my right thigh, hip to knee)Blessings of Peace, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kaman Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Mom always told me to, "Eat your dinner. Don't you know there are children in China that will go hungry tonight?" Just shows that not every word from a wise person's mouth is truth or even credible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrDevon Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Mom always told me to, "Eat your dinner. Don't you know there are children in China that will go hungry tonight?" Just shows that not every word from a wise person's mouth is truth or even credible. Mom was right.... There are children in every country that will go hungry any night. I lived in the wealthiest section of a city once, and didn't have to leave the floor of my apartment building to find the nearest child who was not receiving adequate nutrition. The part that makes no sense is how consuming your food is of any benefit to a starving child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
