Love

Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way.
It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

With all the effort it takes to be patient, kind and undemanding these days, we also have to be aware of being boastful, true and hopeful. Do you find yourself needing to contribute to every story being told? Do you find yourself talking more about yourself, than listening to others? Are you sure that all your needs are met before offering anything to another? Do you secretly keep track of other people’s failures?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need to know that this is not love! Love does not ridicule, take or hide. Love is open, compassionate and a gift you give to another. Love is not about what you receive, it is about what you give!
Love is the only thing standing strong when everything else has fallen.

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

“Love is the Light shining through Hope.” tc

License to Kill

Mother Earth is our home. She has given us pure water to drink, fresh air to breath and rich soil, in which to feed us. Regardless of how much we overuse the land, pollute air and waste the water, she continues to try and purify all of it.

She attempts to discipline the children of earth from time to time by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tidal waves, wind storms and flooding but we just keep on doing what we are doing with little to no regard for the consequences.

Yes, there are consequences! Everything of the earth is organic, perishable material. If you think you can continue to pollute, abuse and overuse the land, then you have permission…..on one condition. When you are able to make soil, produce water and create new air, from scratch, that will take care of billions of people, and maintain the delicate balance of mother nature; then there will be less of a need to be conservative with our limited natural resources!

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

“When you can co-create from nothing, then you can act like God.” tc
