More small bites

Today's inspiration comes from David W. Fuller, Editor of the highly intellectual publication, The Costco Connection :)  Every few years Mr. Fuller selects some of his favorite quotations from his collection and shares them with his readers.  A few of them rang true in this unique season of my life and they inspired me to go to my Bible to see if I could find verses that expressed the truths contained in the quotations.  Here's what I found:

Quote:  "Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy."-Anne Frank
Scripture:  "You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness."-Psalm 30:11 (NKJV)

Quote:  "Always be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle."-Plato
Scripture:  "Thus says the Lord of hosts:  'Execute true justice, show mercy and compassion, everyone to his brother.' "-Zechariah 7:9 (NKJV)

Quote:  "Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats."-Voltaire
Scripture:  "For He will hide me in His shelter in the day of trouble; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will lift me high upon a rock.  And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy.  I will sing and make melody to The Lord."-Psalm 27:5,6 (ESV)

This week's chemo is starting to take its toll on my energy level.  Please pray that I have enough energy to make myself useful.
