“Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals.” – J. Isham
The human body essentially recreates itself every six months. Nearly every cell of hair and skin and bone dies and another is directed to its former place. You are not who you were last November.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
― Rumi
The longer we wait for something, the more we appreciate it when it arrives.
Truly powerful people don’t explain why they want respect. They simply don’t engage anyone who doesn’t give it to them.
It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things.
― Donald Miller
“A woman’s heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.”
― Max Lucado
When you are in the final days of your life, what will you want?
Will you hug that college degree in the walnut frame? Will you ask to be carried to the garage so you can sit in your car? Will you find comfort in rereading your financial statement? Of course not. What will matter then will be people. If relationships will matter most then, shouldn’t they matter most now?
― Max Lucado
I choose gentleness… Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.
