Puzzle Pieces
Hold fast to dreams
For dreamers see tomorrow,
Keep safe your wishes,
Wishes can come true.
Let faith be strong
To hold you in the sadness,
Reach out for love
and love will see you you through.
Be light of heart
The world is full of wonder,
Go bravely on
Whatever comesyour way.
Have hope and courage,
Life has much to offer,
Reach out for love
And love will light the day.

A traveller
Puzzle Pieces
A traveller once asked a wise man sitting at the city walls what the people inside were like.
“What are the people like in the city you come from?” replied the wise man. The stranger then pondered a moment.
“They’re generous and kind, they’re patient and good folk” he said.
“Well, that’s how you’ll find them here “ the wise man said.
A few days later another traveller came to city and asked the wise man the same question.
“What are the people like in the city you come from?” replied the wise man. Again there was some hesitation.
“The people are fairly mean, “ he said. They’re a grumpy lot and pretty miserable.”
“Well, that’s how you’ll find them here “ the wise man said.
The moral of the story, what you think you experience. Look for goodness and you will find it.

A flower in disguise
Puzzle Pieces
A weed is no more than a flower in disguise.~James Lowell~
What makes a weed different from a flower, except the way we view it?
A dandelion shows us a sunny yellow flower in no way inferior to a daisy or a zinnia. Then the flower magically becomes a fluffy white ball, disappearing with the gentlest breeze. Can a zinnia do that?
All of us have weeds in our life-difficult tasks, difficult people, difficult times. Maybe we can learn to see these things as flowers instead of weeds and enjoy rather than dread them.
We enjoy seeing a field covered with dandelions. Let us try as well to enjoy the metaphorical weeds in our lives. We may be surprised at the beauty and charm we find.

My treasure
Puzzle Pieces
♥
I made a list of the things I love,
and the things that give me pleasure.
It grew and grew and I realise
that my life holds much great treasure.
So now if I'm feeling low
and the world seems so unkind
I glance along my treasure list
and leave my cares behind.

a thought ...
Puzzle Pieces
In the American civil War, Colonel "Jeb" Stuart used to end all letters and notes to his commander, Robert E. Lee, with the words,
"Yours to count on"
I would love to leave this thought with you.
When, in quiet moments throughout the day, we speak to own Commander we might follow the example, re-affirming we are always,
' Yours to count on.'

HOW GREAT THOU ART
Puzzle Pieces
I am constantly amazed and in awe...
Our Universe is a relatively small one in galactic terms, but it is still huge and one tiny dot of light in that vastness is the star called Antares.
If Anatres were a football, the sun would be the size of a full stop.
If the sun were football sized, the earth would be a dot.
There are billions of people living on the earth and most if it is still "empty space".
Now, when I think of all this I sing to my self...♪♪

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin:

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God. how great Thou art!
