Can be a favorite Bible verse, anything, the sky's the limit!

I'll start:

This is from William Law ( 1686–1761 ) ~

"If anyone would tell you the shortest, surest way to all happiness
and all perfection, he must tell you to
make a rule to yourself to thank and praise God for everything
that happens to you.

It is certain that whatever seeming calamity happens to you,
if you thank and praise God for it,
you turn it into a blessing.

If you could work miracles,
therefore, you could not do more for yourself
than by this thankful spirit.

It heals and turns all that it touches into happiness.”

I'll never forget something I once heard Charles Stanley say; the more I think on it, the more it blesses me:

"Heaven is a place where everything is so perfect that not even God could improve on it!"

I love that!

Here's one from Dr. Stanley on what to do with those bothersome problems that frequently overwhelm us :

“As you confront your problems rather than avoid them, your faith is nurtured and stretched. Your confidence grows; your fears subside.”

(I really need that one myself today!)

I love the one in my sig - I cherish all of God's animals, and they so often know nothing but abuse and mistreatment.  I long for the day when He'll make it right for each and every one of them! Until them, I hope and pray the Lord sends angels to comfort them...

Be thou comforted, little dog, Thou too in Resurrection shall have a little golden tail. ~ Martin Luther

Not a Christian quote, but we'd have a lot less divorces if people followed this advice:

"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything." — Katharine Hepburn

I love that one too, PurplePuppy.

In heaven I want to have a gazillion pets. Especially the ones that were so mistreated here on earth. I'd like to have that right now but for obvious reasons I can't, so I'll just have to love and spoil the ones I have right now (a very spoiled corgi, a problem child poodle/terrior, and my boxer: the sweetest dog in the whole wide world.)

I want all my babies who have died, and and elephant, and and and....


I just hope the Lord assigns me an angel to help with scooping duty!

I'd like to have llamas and goats and cows and bunnies and hedgehogs...
