Truer than True.

"Today you are you,

that is truer than true.

There is no one alive,

that is youer than you."

Dr. Seuss

Be Yourself

Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.

~Oscar Wilde

True Beauty

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others:
For beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness:
And for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
-Audrey Hepburn

Be the difference.

Women of God can never be like women of the world.
The world has enough women who are tough;
we need women who are tender.
There are enough women who are coarse;
we need women who are kind.
There are enough women who are rude;
we need women who are refined.
We have enough women of fame and fortune;
we need more women of faith.
We have enough greed;
we need more goodness.
We have enough vanity;
we need more virtue.
We have enough popularity;
we need more purity.
~ Margaret Dyreng Nadauld

In Every Moment

In happy moments praise God.
In difficult moments seek God.
In the quiet moments trust God.
In every moment thank God.
~ Unknown

 We go from one moment to another so quickly. Most of the time you only notice how fast they go by until you look back.
There are moments that we wish we could relive.
There are moments we are glad are long gone.
There are moments we look forward to living.
Moments sure are precious, make the most of them.








p.s. I really need to take pictures that don't involve bookcases. Sorry about that.

Count your blessings.

The other day I was having a rough day. Things were not going my way and my head was flooded with thoughts and worries.

My 5 year old brother comes up to me and states " Sarah, why aren't you smiling?" 

I say " Well, I don't feel like smiling right now."

He replies " Please smile now, I like it when you smile."

My heart melted!

It got me thinking of how much I have to smile about.

I have an awesome family, a warm house, plenty of food, way to many clothes... I could go on forever!

I am going to strive to count my blessings; my many reasons to put a smile on my face.

There is always a reason to rejoice.

There is always a reason to smile.

Find that reason!

 "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances."

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18a

A Part of Me

When my whole family goes to town, it's really interesting to hear all of the reactions of the people that see us all. 

The two things that are usually said to my parents are...

"Wow! That is so neat to see! You never see that now a days!"

or it's, 

"Are you nuts! That's just wrong" etc...

I love having a big family. I wouldn't change that for the world. 

So many people just don't understand how awesome it is.

Don't get me wrong, there are times when having my things stolen, broken, and/or lost can be frustrating, but it pales in comparison to the joys of being the oldest of a big family. 

The joys like your little 1 year old brother running up to you for a hug, or your little sister asking you to pick out her clothes for the day or do her hair, or having a little brother ask you to kiss his boo boo better...

I could go on :)

I am SO thankful that God has put me in the place I am.

It's, to put it mildly...

Awesome.
