We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give. ~ Norman MacEwan

Many things, beyond a doubt, remain to be said which others will say with greater force and brilliance. But we need have no hope that one will utter on this Earth the word that shall put an end to our uncertanties. It is very probably, on the contrary, that no one in this world, nor perhaps in the next, will discover the great secret of the universe. Behold us then before the mystery of the cosmic consciousness. ~ Maurice Maeterlinck

A small boy looked at a star and began to weep.
The star said "Boy, why are you weeping?"
And the boy said "You are so far away -
I will never be able to touch you."
And the star answered "Boy, if I were not already
in your heart, you would not be able to see me."
~ John Magliola

The measure of life is not its duration but its donation. ~ Peter Marshall

The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next. ~ Mignon McLaughlin

Homesick

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbyes
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now
~ MercyMe

Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling into at night. ~ Edna St. Vincent Millay

We can only learn to love by loving. ~ Iris Murdoch
