God
(page 5)
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.
I am blessed to have so many great things in my life - family, friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.
If you want to be original just try being yourself, because God has never made two people exactly alike.
Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.
I can find God in nature, in animals, in birds and the environment.
I just find myself happy with the simple things. Appreciating the blessings God gave me.
Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don't support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck.
I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I am not where I used to be.
Friends are the siblings God never gave us.
God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.
One of the things I do is try to get a positive message out there in the local schools and tell my story. I also do a lot of faith-based speaking, sharing my story and testimony, to help show what God has done in my life and what he can do in others' lives.
You see, God helps only people who work hard. That principle is very clear.
What law, what reason can deny that gift so sweet, so natural that God has given a stream, a fish, a beast, a bird?
I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother, an uncle, a good neighbor, a good leader to those who look up to me, a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'.
Every day, I get closer to God. Every day, my will to do the right thing gets stronger.
God created the heavens and the earth, the oceans and the waves for our enjoyment. Surfing is just my way of worshipping Him.
Perhaps nothing helps us make the movement from our little selves to a larger world than remembering God in gratitude. Such a perspective puts God in view in all of life, not just in the moments we set aside for worship or spiritual disciplines. Not just in the moments when life seems easy.
My dad said, 'Stay humble, and you gotta work harder than everybody else'. My mom said, 'Always be yourself'. She always told me only God can judge me.
