that shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow. There is no need for you to go it alone. There are people who love you, and who are ready to give you much needed support. There are even more, ~ way more than you can possibly imaging, people who can love you if you give them a chance. Make 'share joy, half the sorrow' your motto for today.

Offerings
If you desire something, offer something.
Offerings can come in many forms: a gift, a prayer, a smile, flowers, food. Offer something from your heart.
Purpose
God has an important purpose for you, and made everything possible for you to succeed. That's not to say it is an easy purpose, or a convenient one. It might very well seem hard or even impossible, but it only looks that way. The truth is that one day you will look back and see how all the pieces fit together. And how your life has been a complete and utter success.

Give it to God
The weight you carry on your shoulders
is much too heavy for one human being.
Give some of that weight where it belongs,
- to God, and have faith that what happens
is for the best, whether you understand it or not.
Peace
Peace is yours...
Storms might be raging all around you, but you can still find peace in your own heart because the God of Peace reigns within you.
Helping Hands
If you ever need a helping hand,
you will find one at the end of your arm.
And a time always comes when you discover
that you have two hands:
One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
Care and Love
... that you are not to shut
love out of your life
by saying it impossible to
find and keep.
The quickest way to find love
is to give love.
If you want it too badly, you will
not find it.
The most secure way to keep love
is to give it space and care to grow.
If you hold it too tightly,
you will lose it.
Faith
Infinite possibilities are born of faith.
Do you think that's air you breathe;
that's earth you walk on?
All matter is God's creation.
And the source is faith.
When you have so much faith
that you become one of faith,
infinite possibilities open to you.

The Real You
It is time to let people see your inner beauty
It's time to let people know the real you. Be who you are, not who you think people want you to be. You are more beautiful on the inside than you realize. You need to share that beauty with others. Be transparent, let your guard down. Let people know the real you..

Hands
God, as our creator of those both great and small,
Made each of us an equal. He loves us one and all.
He created hands to build a future, hands to learn and teach, Loving hands to hold and comfort someone out of reach. The hands of a newborn infant, so new and innocent,
Hands stained and worn with labor, of a lifetime spent.
He made hands with great abilities, hands crippled over the years, Hands to clap with joy and delight, hands to wipe another's tears. Whatever hands God has given you, whatever they may do, Two hands reverently folded in prayer, will bring His peace to you.

Pray and then Practice
... that to worship God you must go beyond words to speak with your heart. You can mouth the words of a prayer all day long and just waste your time, unless you also speak with your heart. And to speak with your heart means to embody first. If you pray for love, be loving. If you pray for wealth, be generous. If you pray for health practice health yourself. What is your favorite prayer? How can you begin to embody it?

Receiving
... that it's okay to receive.
You have been the giver for so long that you have forgotten how to receive? Allow others to give you some of the love that you give so freely. Seek a balance between your giving and your receiving.
