Daniel James Brown Quotes

From WordPress Library.

Harmony, balance, and rhythm.  They’re all the three things that stay with you your whole life.

Perhaps the seeds of redemption lay not just in perseverance, hard work, and rugged individualism.  Perhaps they lay in something more fundamental–the simple notion of everyone pitching in and pulling together.

Daniel James Brown (born 1951) is an American author.  He specializes in creating narrative nonfiction books.  The above quotes come from his book, The Boys in the Boat:  Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Patience’s Fabric

Stormy clouds gather

Today’s outlook dims

Covered now in darkness

Patience ready to swim

 

Challenges remain

Compassion checks in

Peace about to arrive

Patience blending within

 

Course change encouraged

Navigation set

Calm breath’s steady compass

Patience erases threat

 

Progress comes about

Horizon lightens

Ember of thankful grace

Patience’s fabric brightens

 

New day beginning

Each hour flying by

Tomorrow just ahead

Patience fills endless sky

Faith gives you an inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life.

You have to dream, you have to have a vision, and you have to set a goal for yourself that might even scare you a little.

Gregory Peck (1916-2003) was an American actor and social activist.  He received an Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actor in 1963 for his portrayal of Atticus Finch in “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

Monday Memories: Sharing Some Kindness

From Galatians 5:22-25:  “By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  There is no law against such things.  And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.   If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.”

Seeing mankind standing along the road

Bearing heavy burdens, life’s overload

 

Stopping to say, travel the other way

Sharing some kindness, from our Lord today

 

Shining Jesus’ light, for all to follow

Hearing His Word, rich wisdom to swallow

 

Overlooking life’s narrow-minded walk

Sharing some kindness, truth becomes our rock

 

Lending helping hands, sisters and brothers

Showering daily grace, like none other

 

Forsaking life’s blindness, opening eyes

Sharing some kindness, never in disguise

 

Helping others who travel beside us

Inviting them, catching rides on God’s bus

 

Loving with patience, goodwill overflows

Sharing some kindness, warming hearts aglow

 

Recalling Christ’s call, handing out His love

Sharing His mercy, planted from above

 

Paying it forward, kindness shared each day

Harvesting endless treasures from God’s way
