[Faith-talk] Quotes for Thursday, August 18, 2016

[Paul Smith]

Hello and greetings to you all on this somewhat early Thursday morning. 
Hope that your day is going well, by God's matchless grace and His 
providential care.

Here are today's two quotes for your consideration, pondering and reflection.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared 
to what lies within us.  Ralph Waldo Emerson

No one ever said life is going to be perfect.  Build a bridge and get over it.

And there you have today's quotes.  The reading for later will be 
delayed because the undersigned is going to be attending the 2016 
Possibilities Fair at Blind Industries and Services of Maryland from 9 
AM to 2 PM today, and thus I may not get home until after 3.  For those 
who don't know, this is an event primarily targeting seniors and others 
who just lost their sight and just don't know where to turn for help 
and assistance.  Even though I've been blind all my life, there just 
may be something that I can learn.  Besides, I'm unofficially 
"representing" Lions Clubs International's District 22A.  I might even 
be able to give some help and advice to people in the category 
mentioned above.  If any of you reading this lives in the Baltimore 
area and who are signed up to attend it, please say hello, because I'd 
just love to put the voice to whoever you are.

And that will do it for today.  Until tomorrow when, Lord willing more 
quotes will be posted, I am your obedient servant of the One who lived 
an earthly existence, died to pay for your sins and mine, and now lives 
forever to bring us His salvation and peace, Oil of Gladness.
