“I started to believe in God when I was about 8 or 9 years old. I was simply puzzled by what my school teachers told me. They repeated to us many times that God did not exist. And I wondered who it was that did not exist with such power that people couldn’t stop talking about him. It was useless to ask my teachers about it because I already knew what their answer would be. And it was useless to ask my parents because they always avoided the topic. So I thought this was some dangerous secret and I decided to find out for myself who this God is . . . It wasn’t God’s power that interested me. I was just a small girl and everyone around me was more powerful than me and could punish me . . . I learnt that God was kind and that he loves me. This is something I desperately needed.” -Irina Ratushinskaya, Ukrainian poet
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“If you are worshipping false gods, such as football, baseball, tennis, or money, or technology, or automobiles, or houses, or gold, or silver - and you can tell what a man worships by what he does on Sunday - repent, and start worshipping the true and living God, the maker of Heaven and Earth and all things that in them are.” -Hartman Rector, Junior
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“It is worth noting that the people today who so vehemently wish to sweep religion from all public spaces and institutions are also the same people who consistently oppose freedom. They want only one God - the state, which of course they intend to run.” -Charley Reese: “Jefferson Speaks” (29 November 2002)
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“If men and nations did reach up to God with all their hearts war would cease. If love of God were in the heart of man a man would have no desire to destroy his brother. There would be no dishonesty if the love of God were in the heart. If God came first in his life a man would love his neighbor as himself and instead of taking from him he would feel to give.” -Rex C. Reeve, Senior
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Success is recognizing where our talents gifts and attributes come from, then always giving the Lord the credit. In this way it is possible to stay humble and successful at the same time. Success and glory (as the world understands it) is very addicting but for someone whose satisfaction comes from doing the Lord’s will the true understanding of success is comprehended. As John Taylor so beautifully stated (July 7 1878), ‘We are here as Jesus was here, not to do our own will, but the will of Him who sent us.’ The most successful experience in life is to find out His will for our individual lives and do it Thus fulfilling the measure of our personal creation.” -Rose Marie Reid
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Conversation between Adam and Eve must have been difficult at times because they had nobody to talk about.” -Agnes Repplier
 
“What the world asks now are state reforms and social reforms, - in other words, the reformation of our neighbors. What the Gospel asks, and has always asked, is the reformation of ourselves . . . Mr. [G. K.] Chesterton spoke but the truth when he said that Christianity has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult, and not tried.” -Agnes Repplier: in “Consolations of the Conservative” (December 1919)
 
Agnes Repplier was born on 1 April 1858 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America. She became an essayist. Agnes Repplier passed on at 92 years of age on 15 December 1950 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America.

In everything both great and small
We see the Hand of God in all.
-Helen Steiner Rice
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Thanks be to thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits which Thou hast given us; for all the pains and insults which Thou hast borne for us. O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother, may we know thee more clearly, love Thee more dearly, and follow Thee more nearly; For Thine own sake . . .” -Richard of Chichester (1197 - 1253)
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Bear ye one another’s burdens, the Lord said, and he was talking law.” -Mary Caroline Richards: “Centering in Pottery, Poetry, and the Person” (2011), page 54
 
Mary Caroline Richards was born in 1916. She was an American teacher, poet, and potter. Mary Caroline Richards passed on in 1999.
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“I give to my friends the assurance that if they will recast their ideas and attitudes about the relative importance of the spiritual to the material and bring themselves to participate in the mighty cause of establishing Gods kingdom in the Earth they will find a satisfaction a sureness of purpose a peace and contentment surpassing anything they have ever known. They will not be ashamed to say to themselves and to their fellows that God and his work come first. When they can develop the faith and the courage to make this acknowledgment self-sufficiency and egotism will be replaced by humility of spirit. The brotherhood of man will become real to them. Their service will be ennobled and they will lay the foundation for the attainment of the highest rewards and blessings vouchsafed to humanity.” -Stephen L. Richards
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“God always gives us strength enough, and sense enough, for every thing that He wants us to do . . .” -John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
 
“When men do not love their hearth, nor reverence their thresholds, it is a sign that they have dishonored both . . . Our God is a house-hold God, as well as a heavenly one; He has an altar in every man’s dwelling.” -John Ruskin (1819 - 1900): “The Seven Lamps of Architecture” (1908)
 
John Ruskin was born in 1819 in London, England. He became an art critic, a social critic, a poet, an essayist, a draftsman, a watercolorist, a patron of the arts, and a philanthropist. He is known for his detailed sketches and paintings of rocks, plants, birds, landscapes, and architectural structures and ornamentation. He organized the Society of Friends of Living Creatures to prevent cruelty to animals. John Ruskin passed on in 1900.
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
All over the world at the end of day
Heav’nly Father’s children kneel down and pray . . .
Our Heavenly Father hears them;
He understands each tongue.
Our Heav’nly Father knows them;
He loves them loves them ev’ry one. 
-Peggy Hill Ryskamp
