Veteran's Day

God, bless our veterans.

Integrity

In the home, character and integrity are formed, values are made clear, and goals are set.  These last a lifetime.  And if they aren't formed correctly, that, too, will result in patterns - bad patterns - that last a lifetime, if God doesn't intervene.  (Billy Graham, Hope For Each Day, 3 November) 10 November 2011

Saint Francis

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!

Praise Him, all creatures here below!

Praise Him above, ye heavenly host!

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

True Prayer

True prayer should humble us and make us love others more.  We should be like children coming to a father and not like attorneys bringing an indictment.  If prayer doesn't bless the one praying, it isn't likely to help anybody else.  (Warren W. Wiersbe, Chapter-By-Chapter Bible Commentary, p. 682)  6 November 2011

Gift From God

... every opportunity to brighten another person's day is a gift from God.  (Penney Schwab in Daily Guideposts - 2009, 22 October)  5 November 2011
