When you come to the edge of
all the light you have know and are
about to step out into the darkness,
FAITH is knowing
one of two things will happen . . .
There will be something to stand on or
You will be taught how to fly.
And:
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Both of these quotes have become my creedo in life. They have helped me get through the hardest trials I have had. . . with the Lord's help of course! Just wanted to share them.
Thanks for sharing those...:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these - what an inspiration! I'm so sorry we couldn't get the kids together before we left town - Brenna is really missing her friends from school! We leave on Monday, so keep checking the blog for some really great airplane updates :)
