Too often we don`t realize what we have until it`s gone...

When you seek beauty in all people and all things, you will not only find it, you will become it.

My life is based on a true story.

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.

God answers all prayers

 in three ways: 

“yes,” because you deserve it,

 “no,” because you deserve better, 

and “not yet,” 

because the best is yet to come.

If you want to see the sunshine, you have to weather the storm.

The little reed, 

bending to the force of the wind,

 soon stood upright again

 when the storm had passed over.

There are some things you learn best in calm
 and some in storm.

You learn
to know a pilot
in a storm.

Remember, the storm is a good opportunity for the pine and the cypress to show their strength and their stability.

Clouds come floating
into my life,
no longer to carry rain
or usher storm,
but to add color
to my sunset sky.
