Thoughts

~ A friend has six gems of wisdom which he repeats almost every day.  The first is from Cicero:  "To live long, live slowly."  The second is from Confucius:  "The way of a superior man is threefold:  virtuous, he is therefore free from anxiety; wise, he is therefore free from perplexity; bold, he is therefore free from fear."  The third is from Robert Louis Stevenson:  "Sit loosely in the saddle of life."  The fourth, Saint Theresa's famous words:  "Let nothing disturb you; let nothing frighten you.  Everything passes except God; God alone is sufficient."  And from Isaiah, ". . . in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength" (Isaiah 30:15).  Then finally, and most importantly, the words of Jesus:  ". . . my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27)…Norman Vincent Peale

Teachings of Christ

Builders

Luke 6:47-49  

47 I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.

48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
