If Word for the Day speaks to your heart, you might want to contribute a favorite quotation of your own.
"THE BEAUTY OF REST. I stop. I wait. Acutely aware that my heart is beating rhythmically in tune with all of life, I become perfectly still. Temporarily released from my responsibilities of duty and care, I relax deeply into that moment, this precious now. The sun filled day stretches clearly before me. Set free to enjoy it's bounty, the choices are all mine."
— Angela Minton from My Own Life

"Part 4. A Prayer for Jinx...Your guardians, David & Colleen gave to you without reservation their committed care, devotion & love, of which you returned in equal measure. The measure of this love goes on, even as you prepare to slip quietly into eternity.The Spirit of you will live on. The immeasurable love you afforded them in their daily lives is the gift that you gave them, and will live forever."

"Part 3. A Prayer for Jinx.. You were that faithful companion who rested under David's office desk, and on the stairs by his office. At your leisure, you took quiet res in the back of Dave's car in the garage. You were ever alert to the possibility of a tasty morsel coming your way !! Jinx, you were that wonderful motivator that heightened the daily routines of the day, you know, the daily walks, your regular feeing and medication times."

You were their ' Welcome Home From a Hard Days Work", their early morning cuddle and their ' come and brush me by the fire, let's play"..You were their walk along the beachfront, their run in the park, their cheerful friend to others at the corner coffee shop.Jinx, you touched the lives of many. You were Dave's faithful travelling companion. You brought LIGHT and LIFE to David & Colleen. Jinx, you were their family."

"Part 1. A Prayer for Jinx. Dear Jinx. Colleen & David are preparing to let go of your lead for the last time. So the time has come, whilst you are lying peacefully at home, drifting in and out of sleep to acknowledge and give thanks for the wonderful faithful companion that you have been to them. You bounced into their lives 9 years ago, their world turned upside down, they welcomed you into their home. The doors of their hearts flung wide open, you entered into every corner of their being."

"EVENING PREP. Pt.2. It was the silence of those wishing to break free from it's unfamiliar grasp, its powerful harmony, its all encompassing hold. It was the silence of success. Like a conductor of an orchestra, I held their silence in the palm of my hand."

"EVENING PREP. I had been put on prep duty again. Struggling inwardly against the level of noise, the easy chatter, the marked level of disruption. I need to lay a sound foundation, with clear boundaries. Searching desperately for the hidden formulae deep within me, unexpectidly, it descended, unbidden from Heaven, one cold, wet Tuesday night. A quality of silence so pure, I recognised it at once. It was the silence of learning, of earnest application, of timelessness, of quietetude."

"THE LIVING CHALICE. Labouring under the weight of uncertainty, longing to be held in the comfort of loving arms until the fierce storm has passed, waits, patiently, this open earthen vessel. It blends all without boundary or distinction, this crucible of living and giving, this enormous cup. Ever open to the light, however dim, of new possibilities. Strengthened by a wealth of inner resources. This quality of being, of stillness so rare, so sacred. It is the cup lived in common union."

"GARDEN OF LIFE. Fresh into the garden of thought. Digging deep into the soil of my existence, my hand mechanically unearths the wild weeds. A sense of deep peace surrounds me on every side. That quality of light, so delicate in the twilight zone, brings the day to a gentle close. Nothing else matters. Longed for dreams come and go. People I love dwell deep within me. I am not alone."

"It is remarkable how much consolation and hope we can receive from authors who, while offering no answers to life's questions, have the courage to articulate the situation of their lives in all honesty and directness..... None of them have offered solutions. Yet many of us who have read their works have found new strength to pursue our own search. Their courage top enter so deeply into human suffering and to become present in their own pain gave them the power to speak healing words."

Blessed be the work of your hands."
