Thought for the Day (T4D) - Face Your Deficiencies

"Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another."

~ Helen Keller

Thought for the Day (T4D) - Laughter

"Wholehearted, ready laughter heals, encourages, relaxes anyone within hearing distance. The laughter that springs from love makes wide the space around it—gives room for the loved one to enter in. Real laughter welcomes, and never shuts out."

~ Eugenia Price

Thought for the Day (T4D) - Stubborn Joy

This quote was on my thought-of-the-day calendar, and I loved it so much that I wanted to share it.

"Jesus embodied a stubborn joy. A joy that refused to bend in the wind of hard times. A joy that held its ground against pain. A joy whose roots extended deep into the bedrock of eternity." ~ Max Lucado

"A stubborn joy." I love that thought. Some people seem determined to be unhappy no matter what, so why can't there also be people determined to be happy, in spite of what may be going on around them? Hope you find a little joy in your day today! :)
