A Special Thought

You hide from your misfortunes. But if you knew what other people suffered, then you would not complain about your own. (Anonymous in A Calendar of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy, 24 October)

When I meditate I have a special thought to carry with me throughout the day. I know I am doing something important for myself. (Sefra Kobrin Pitzele, One More Day, 13 November)

Patience

I pray for patience. (Sefra Kobrin Pitzele, One More Day, 15 October)

Whatever Is True

Being spiritual does not necessarily mean being religious. Instead, it can be an awakening of our deepest personal sense of caring about other people, as well as an awakening of our appreciation of the joy, symmetry, and balance of nature. (Sefra Kobrin Pitzele, One More Day, 1 September)

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -- think about such things. (Philippians 4:8 (NIV) in Daily Guideposts - 2006, 6 October)
