01. If everyone lit one little candle, what a bright world this would be.
“There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of one small candle”. And, as the song goes “This little light of mine, I`m going let it shine..... let it shine, let it shine” Let us make the light of God`s love shine through the world.
03. Our lives are like patchwork quilts bits and pieces, joy and sorrow, stitched together with love.
Imagine God as the person stitching the quilt together. We “see” the underside of the quilt - all the parts of our lives, and the people we meet, may seem to have little or no design, but God sees the right side - the finished product is truly a masterpiece, and is the joy of the Creator.
04. Parables of Jesus The Sower
All the parables of Jesus are wise words, and the one about the Sower reminds us of how people respond to the `seed` of the Word of God.
05. People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
This quote comes from Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D. (1926 -2004) a Swiss-born psychiatrist and author.
09. Consider the postage stamp, its usefulness consists in its ability to stick to one thing until it gets there.
It`s so easy to give up if things get tough or difficult, but this saying reminds us that we never achieve anything if we do not persist until we complete the job and reach the end.considerpostagestampitsusefulnessconsistsabilitystickonethinguntilgetsthere
11. No man is an island.
John Donne (1572-1631) wrote - “As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: ........No man is an island, entire of itself...” - thus reminding us that we all need each other.
16. Sunday is like a stile between the fields of toil, where we can kneel and pray and sit and meditate.
The book of Genesis tells us that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. These wise words remind us that we too must take time out regularly to spend with Him in rest and reflection.sundaylikestilebetweenfieldstoilwherecankneelpraysitmeditate
20. Rough diamonds are sometimes mistaken for worthless pebbles.
Just because something doesn`t look interesting or attractive on the outside, it doesn`t mean that there isn`t an inner beauty, and we shouldn`t take things at face value. Same with people, we should get to know the real person.
