THE SWEETEST THINGS OF LIFE

Many of us are looking for something but we can't quite make up our minds what it is.

Robert Louis Stevenson said it best: "The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things of life."

That's good. That's very good!

  3. I agree Clif. Sometimes we spend so much time searching for that something when it was right in front of us all along. We simply needed to slow down and look.

  4. Clif I have recently realized that even conflict is a blessing. If our focus is on Christ we will view a crisis as an opportunity to stand firm in Christ, love well, and forgive deeply.

  6. I totally agree! It is a shame that we learn this after we are old.
