There's another quote I like that goes well with your post: "“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” ~Robert Brault <br /><br />JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-13372113544056692452011-05-14T07:11:00.861-07:002011-05-14T07:11:00.861-07:00Glad to see this post restored -- I read it on my ...Glad to see this post restored -- I read it on my reader yesterday but couldn't find it on your blog (blogspot issues, I understand).<br /><br />Love all the quotes, especially the Emerson.

And linking that to the rest of your post - encouragement often seems to consist of helping people focus on accomplishing the next tiny piece of a seemingly insurmountable task or experience. <br /><br />P.S. - I particularly like the Bertrand Russell quote. :)MKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17752128200664061291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-46712118208574275302011-05-12T08:25:12.548-07:002011-05-12T08:25:12.548-07:00There are so many ways to gird up our loins in the...There are so many ways to gird up our loins in the morning; and writing, the wonderful process you evidence of gathering up good words, encouragement, praise to God and the grace of the overarching purpose in one's life ~hidden in Christ who lives~ is here both memorable and helpful.<br /><br />Here is another quote for you.<br />From a song of Tommy Emmanuel's called Haba na Haba:<br /><br />"And though I wander, lose my way along this path I've come, and when I stumble, I will walk these steps I've run, I will take them one by one...<br />Haba na haba ( little by little) Haba na haba....Jeannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115410908800997558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-54335943522280490922011-05-11T17:32:49.447-07:002011-05-11T17:32:49.447-07:00Thank God He has things under control no matter wh...Thank God He has things under control no matter what, and that even so He can use our feeble efforts!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03999702995362368715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-49651600224197423902011-05-11T16:26:12.105-07:002011-05-11T16:26:12.105-07:00it can be overwhelming sometimes when we look at t...it can be overwhelming sometimes when we look at the big picture; just remember day by day and little by little. :)elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962587884124992942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-36313012889953127252011-05-11T16:20:41.076-07:002011-05-11T16:20:41.076-07:00I am not good with "to do" lists at all....I am not good with "to do" lists at all. When I make them they get longer and longer and quite ridiculous. If you wrote down every little thing and every big thing, you would say, "Wow!" You do a lot of interesting and generous things all the time. I like the Oscar Wilde quote best! I think it's interesting to examine our rhythms and search for patterns.Pom Pomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524994024698986829noreply@blogger.com
