Strong Support

Our world is changing rapidly.  Less than 100 years ago, people labored for their food, clothing and shelter. If they didn't produce it themselves, oftentimes, they went without.  Although, I don't physically grow my own food or sew my own clothing, I do have to work for the things that I need.
 If I rush through my job and make a number of errors, the rule of Cause and Effect glares back at me through the eyes of an unhappy supervisor. If I am self-employed, the effect of my efforts returns to me as less business options. However, if I take my time and do a thoughtful job, the rule of Cause and Effect rewards me with praise, success, accomplishment and satisfaction. The fruits of my labor stand for themselves.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"Like the integrity invested in laying a strong foundation, your future success is determined by your efforts extended today." tc

An Abundance

Having children teaches "parents" a number of lessons.  One of the most important is the gift of Selfless Love. When that beautiful, innocent, precious child is born and placed in Your Hands for safe-keeping, there is a part of you that expands and generously gives to another without thought of self. It is the love of your heart. No matter what that child does in his/her life, there is a deep sense of love that resides within you forever!
Selfless love is an act of giving that holds no strings!  You don't need someone to 'thank you' because you know your gift is appreciated.  You don't write it off as a tax deduction because gifts are not about greed.  You don't control what the other person does with your gift because the selfless act comes in your offering, not their response. Remember, the sweetness of life is in the giving, not receiving of self.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"May your path be warmed by the light of the Lord and not the arrogant sting of self." tc
