HAVE A LITTLE FAITH!

One of my New Years resolutions is to let go of worry! My pattern seems to be to stay pretty optimistic for a long time and then when things are not going right, I start to worry. Why do we waste time worrying about things we have no control of? Probably lack of faith. Here are some good faith quotes!

"There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever"

" Faith, in deed, has up to the present not been able to move real mountains... But it can put mountains where there are none."
-Friedrich Nietzsche

"Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark."
- George Iles

"To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible."
- St. Thomas Aquinas

"Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe."
-Voltaire


-Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
-Matthew 6:34

-Trust in the Lord with all your heart;do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
-Proverbs 3:5-6


Less worry - More Prayer!

How wonderful - getting to watch the babies! Great pictures! I am available for babysitting! I like your scriptures about worry. Sometimes it's just hard not to worry! Guess that is the time for more prayer.

The one of Noah looking in the mirror is priceless! They are both adorable! I know what you mean...nothing on earth is better than being a grandma..just imagine what heaven will be like. :)
Thanks for the reminders about faith, so much easier said than done.

Hi Patti, It was so great to be in Indiana for Christmas, We loved spending time with our families. Thank you for posting the quotes about Faith, I lean on
Proverbs 3:5&6 each day.Some say that we can not see Faith...but we sure can FEEL it. I think that if we look at the right people,(in some ways)we can see Faith...in their words and actions. God has blessed us all in so many ways.
I love the photos, What fun!!!!
