God of Miracles

"For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith."

Not trying to get in your eyelash

So, a director at work was telling people he didn't want to get in the way of something we were doing.

Instead he said:

"Not trying to get into your eyelash."

Never heard this quote before, but that is representative of how I feel sometimes. A little piece of dust in an eyelash. Or, like a gnat swarming around me - small and annoying.

Hard work spotlights the character of people:

- Some turn up their noses
- Some turn up their sleeves
- Some don't turn up

Quote - Taking a personal break

"Rest when you're tired. Take a drink of cold water when you're thirsty. Call a friend when you're lonely. Ask God to help when you feel overwhelmed. Many of us have learned how to deprive and neglect ourselves. Many of us have learned to push ourselves hard, when the problem is that we're already pushed too hard. Many of us are afraid the work won't get done if we rest when we're tired. The work will get done; it will be done better than work that emerges from tiredness of soul and spirit. Nurtured, nourished people, who love themselves and care for themselves, are the delight of the Universe. They are well-timed, efficient, and divinely led."
