Delight 365 // Days 145 - 152

Day 145

"Well, dear, you must remember this, when you're going to fret and be low about any thing - An anxious mind is never a holy mind."

Margaret in Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell

Day 146

"Look at other people through lenses of Love; see them from God's perspective."

Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

Day 147

"But on you will go

though the weather be foul.

On you will go

though your enemies prowl.

On you will go

though the Hakken-Kraks howl.

Onward up many

a frightening creek,

though you arms may get sore

and your sneakers may leak. 

On and on you will hike.

And I know you'll hike far

and face up to your problems

whatever they are."

Oh, the Places You Will Go by Dr Seuss

Day 148

"For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,

And as a root out of dry ground.

He has no form or comeliness,

And when we see Him,

There is no beauty that we should desire Him."

Isaiah 53:2

Day 149

"There's too many things I haven't done yet,

Too many sunsets I haven't seen.

You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down.

You would've thought by now

I'd have learned something."

"Many the Miles" by Sara Bareilles

Day 150

"Watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can't put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, don't overlook life's small joys while searching for the big ones."

H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Day 151

"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it."

C.S. Lewis

Day 152

"We love others best when we love God most."

Kyle Idleman
