Category: Thought For The Day

In alignment with my entry yesterday, I wanted to follow up with several inspiring quotes on how I tend to see God always moving in such strange and mysterious ways…

“God is making things happen for you. Even when you don’t see it, even when you can’t feel it, even if it’s not evident. God is working on your prayers.” (Unknown)

“One thing I love about God Almighty is that He works in mysterious ways. Sometime He will tell you; “Stand still and I will do all the work for you.” Isn’t He the one that can make all things possible?” (Temitope Owosela)

“The Lord works in mysterious ways. What’s true to one man, a wonder and a marvel, might not seem so to another, as God didn’t intend it for him.” (Katherine Howe)

“God does work in mysterious ways, but when we try to place God in a box, when we try to figure it all out ourselves, and remain in control, we are sure to miss out on knowing that when it happens. (Andrew Arthur Dawson)

Today’s quotes are ones I would think unconditionally loving families would agree with and ones I often wish had emanated fully from my own family…

“The most beautiful thing in this world is to see your parents smiling and knowing that you are the reason behind that smile.” (Unknown)

“Behind every young child who believes in himself is a parent who believed first.” (Matthew Jacobson)

“As a parent, I will always be proud of my children, not because they have achieved something great, but because they simply. are my children.” (Unknown)

“Affirming words from moms and dads are like light switches. Speak a word of affirmation at the right moment in a child’s life and it’s like lighting up a whole roomful of possibilities.” (Gary Smalley)

Today’s quotes center around yesterday’s article that had the subject of anger, something I’ve noticed has increased a lot in this world since the pandemic began. Maybe it was already there growing, or maybe it truly has made it more prevalent, either way, today’s quotes are ones that support how I feel about anger…

“It is wise to direct your anger towards problems – not people; to focus your energies on answers – not excuses.” (Roy T. Bennett)

“Do not let your anger lead to hatred, as you will hurt yourself more than you would the other.” (Stephen Richards)

 “Never respond to an angry person with a fiery comeback, even if he deserves it…Don’t allow his anger to become your anger.” (Bohdi Sanders)

“If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.” (Chinese Proverb)
