Happiness doesn't come from doing what you like to do but from liking what you have to do.

Your Daily Blessing
 
Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. May you be blessed to surround yourself with extraordinary people.
Prayer of the Day
 
As You splash color across the vast canvas of the sky with the radiance and splendor of sunrise and sunset. As You arch rainbows against the passing storm, create flowers and foliage, set autumn woods on fire with the beauty of turning leaves and touch mountaintops with snow crystals, You show beauty to us O God and we are in awe.
Today's Feature
 
Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens. A good marriage must be created. In the art of marriage the little things are the big things… It is never being too old to hold hands. It is remembering to say “I love you” at least once a day. It is never going to sleep angry. It is at no time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should continue through all the years. It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives. It is standing together facing the world. It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family. It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy. It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways. It is not looking for perfection in each other. It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humor. It is having the capacity to forgive and forget. It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow. It is finding room for the things of the spirit. It is a common search for the good and the beautiful. It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal. It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner. It is discovering what marriage can be, at its best. – by Wilferd Arlan Peterson

MY DIVINE SELF

Lord I for strength to connect with myself and a sound mind. And how to disconnect myself from negative thoughts and from people that are no more helping me to reach my highest self. Amen
