Quote of the Day

I'm sorry i didn't get a quote of the day for yesterday, Liam (my oldest) had karate belt testing (i will be posting more about this later) and time just got away from me....

So this will be my quote for yesterday...

I think I have talked about on here before that I am in seminary, this is the beginning of my second year, as part of the curriculum we are suppose to take a doctrine class.  Right now i am taking a "means of grace class' and the object is to learn as much as possible about John Wesley. Today I was writing a paper and came across this quote by Wesley.

I found this quote to be really wonderful, and I think it explains what we as humans are suppose to be focusing on.  Each other.

Have a great evening!!!

Peace

ABC BABY NAMES

I will be posting another blog later on today with the quote of the day, or I may do two tomorrow if I run out of time, but I have been seeing this ABC baby name video going around youtube and I couldn't resist, especially since I love writing and have a running list of names in my phone.

It's pretty self explanatory but you just pretty much pick a favorite baby name and put it down for each letter....I wouldn't necessarily use all of these names that I put down, but if I were told I had to use a specific letter for my kids these are probably the name I would pick.  If you look at this put your favorites down below I love talking about names!!! I find it so fun!!!

quote of the day

Today I was thinking about something my dad used to tell me when I was a kid when ever I didn't want to do something.  He always gave me a pep talk and told me "sometimes we have to do things that we don't want to do because it is the RIGHT thing to do."

As a kid I really hated when he said that but now I get it, and I often tell my kids the same thing.

I was looking for something that would send this same message for todays quote and I remembered a scene in one of the Harry Potter books (I believe it was five, please don't hate me if I'm wrong :)) where Dumbledore was talking to Harry and gave him the same message that my father used to give me...

Which leads me to the recommendation of this quote 

We all know I am a self proclaimed nerd and I love reading so I have to tell you that when Dumbledore said this to Harry I was really pretty thrilled, not only because it was something that I was told as a kid but because it really is true.  There is such a big difference between following what is right and what is easy.  May you have the wisdom to know the difference :)

HAVE AN AWESOME DAY!!!

Quote of the day

Today's quote is also one that I have loved for a long time....I have had it on my Facebook and my Pinterest for several years.  It was said by John Lennon in his song "Beautiful Boy" which he wrote for his son Sean.  I picked this line out of the son the first time I heard it because I thought that it truly describes life....

So today I present!

Like I said it comes for a longer son...Really look it up if you have never heard it because it is definitely worth a listen, I think sometimes song lyrics can make us think even more then an actual quote!!! Plus you know, John Lennon was probably one of the smartest people who ever lived!!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

PEACE!

Quote of the Day


So todays quote is kind of a classic.  Any one who has ever heard of Maya Angelou, or probably Oprah for that matter has heard this quote. I was reminded of it yesterday when I was talking to my son Jonah (I will be posting his story on this blog in the next few days) He has had a tumultuous path in life, growing up in foster care, drugs, and serious addiction and mental health issues. He was lamenting to me about how he wished he had known to do better....

I didn't quote this to him at the time, but I wish I had....

Todays quote is....

it is actually a longer quote but I just wanted to put this part on the picture....for those who are interested the longer quote is...

Do the best you can 

until you know better

when you know better do better.

It is so true...When we come from difficult places we don't always know how to handle things, like Jonah we may become involved in things we shouldn't but as we grown up we learn how to do things better, we should never regret our pasts, because they lead us to where we are today...But when we Know better...We do better!

Thanks for reading!!!
Have an awesome Day!!!
