“We cannot change the past; we just need to keep the good memories and acquire wisdom from the mistakes we’ve made. We cannot predict the future; we just need to hope and pray for the best and what is right, and believe that’s how it will be. We can live a day at a time, enjoying the present and always seeking to become a more loving and better person.” Karen Berry

Let us also remember that God is walking that path with us every day.

Be giving, forgiving, patient, and kind. Have faith in yourself. Be your own best friend, and listen to the voice that tells you to be your best self.

Be true to yourself in the paths that you choose.Follow your talents and passions; don’t take the roads others say you must follow because they are the most popular. Take the paths where your talents will thrive – the ones that will keep your spirits alive with enthusiasm and everlasting joy.

Most of all, never forget that there is no brighter light than the one within you. Keep on being true to yourself. Keep shining your light on others so they will have a reason to smile. Follow your inner light to your own personal greatness, and remember that you are admired and loved just as you are.” Jacqueline Schiff

Let us remember that that light within us is God‘s light.

“Trust your decisions and feelings and do what is best for you. The future will work itself out. Don’t let anyone else’s negativity influence your dreams, values or hopes. Focus on what you can change and let go of what you can’t. You know your own worth, what you’ve accomplished, and what you’re capable of. Your goals may take a bit longer and be harder to achieve than you had hoped, but… Concentrate on positives and combine faith with generous portions of patience and determination. Step boldly and confidently into your future we’re happiness, success, and dreams await you.” Barbara Cage

God has given us the faith to believe in ourselves, we just need to use it.

“We can’t always control the people, events or circumstances that surround us, but we can control the way we choose to react to them. No person or thing has the power to make us angry or scared or frustrated-these are simply ways to choose to respond. Instead of feeling resentful that people don’t always act the way we like or circumstances don’t always unfold as we’d prefer, it helps to focus instead on our inner being – and becoming more aware of the thoughts and feelings we want to experience.

When we no longer rely on circumstances to make us happy and choose happiness in spite of them, we soon notice the very things we found objectionable magically fading away. And in their place cascades a glorious deluge of all things deserving and reflective of our good energy.

We can’t always control the world around us, but we can master the one within and create joy and beauty both inside and out.” Lynn Keachie

God is present through it all.

“Our lives are made up of a million moments, spent in a million different ways. Some are spent searching for love, peace, and harmony. Others are spent surviving day to day. But there is no greater moment then when we find that life – with all its joys and sorrows – it’s meant to be lived one day at a time.

It’s in this knowledge that we discover the most wonderful truth of all. Whether we live in a forty room mansion, surrounded by servants and wealth, or find it a struggle to manage the rent month to month, we have it within our power to be fully satisfied and live a life with true meaning.” Regina Hill

God encourages us to take one day at a time.
