"Life and the seasons are similar in occurrence. The most beautiful tree will enter winter, the dark time, and it will shed its leaves and go through the harsh changes that seasons and life bring. When all seems lost in the winter season, the tree will shed the unneeded parts to survive and eventually emerge into spring with a new outlook, a new life, a new beginning. When the sun rises and new life emerges with new opportunities and perspectives - shake off the old and gray and grab the new chances. Your sun rises everyday and you have a new season in front of you - embrace it with hope - not despair."

"Life is like a game. There's a beginning, middle, and an end. You play it the best you can and work very hard to win and beat the other person. If we realize that we are all one, we will not try to beat the other person but work with them to win as a team. Life is a game and it does have to end but we should live it with compassion, love, teamwork, and kindness. It's okay to compete but compete with yourself. Do better to be a better person, not to beat someone else. Always strive harder to be better but not better than someone else. There is enough to go around in the Universe for everyone. Then, when that final day comes, you will leave this earth with dignity, respect, and love. You will know that you learned the lesson you were here to learn. You will know that you won and you are going to a wonderful place."

"Trouble may be on either side but in the midst, there is God!"
Copyright © 2004 Angela L. Savage
I selected this particular quote because I had a friend that was going through something in their life, but didn't wish to discuss it at the time. Being the sensitive person that I am and because I do believe in God, I let the God in me speak. That's how I came up with this quote. No matter what your situation or circumstance is, we have to be able to see God in the midst of it.
