The Power of Love

Love makes friends out of enemies. Love heals the sick.

Love brings joy where there is sorrow. Love builds community where 2 or more gather.

Love creates peace out of chaos. Love brings a smile where there were tears.

Love creates harmony out of war. Love binds a mother to her children.

Love comforts the suffering. Love has many faces. Love fills a room with laughter.

Love saves lives. Love speaks softly. Love can be shared with everyone.

Love has no chains. Love inspires. Love gives hope to the hopeless. Love conquers all.

If you are ever in doubt about what to do or question if you’re going down the right path, ask yourself one question. If the answer does not include love, you may want to reconsider your next step.

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

“Love is in the answer to every question that you may have.” tc

The Power of One

Did anyone see the movie, Pay it Forward? It came out several years ago but it was a wonderful little movie with a powerful message. Today, I want to touch on the theme of that movie. I used to watch television, once in a while but it was so full of crimes committed, wars around the world and personal tragedies that I quit watching. By viewing this type of trauma, daily, it is easy to see why some people have lost hope in anything ever improving.

However, Hope is the one thing that we have the power to exercise; the one real freedom that no one can take away from us. With hope, we can do anything. We can change the negativity of the world by first changing our attitude about the world. We can empower another to try harder. We can give love to all. We can support someone in need. We can find the spiritual path that suits us. We can enable hope to live. We have the Power to be the One that changes the world, if we, first, believe fully in ourselves.

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

"Faith, hope and love ease the tension of society’s self-inflicted madness.” tc
