Brahma C. Foz - moon

"The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections." ~Brahma C. Foz

Becky Acebedo Kibble Quotes

"As the sun sets and the Sabbath begins, my heart is turned to Heaven for comfort and peace." ~Becky Kay
"Step by step...year by year, we make our way through the days of our life, along high mountain ridges and through deep, dark valleys. Sometimes the path is sure, and other times rocky and treacherous. Yet always God’s children can press on - moving forward in confidence that when the trumpet sounds and the graves will break open, we will meet our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ face-to-face." ~Becky Acebedo Kibble

"Death is not final, neither does it have the final say - our Redeemer does! The King of Glory is alive and waiting to share eternity with us one day soon." ~Becky Acebedo Kibble

"Death must be so beautiful to have no yesterday and today, but tomorrow; to forget time, to forgive life and to be at peace." ~Becky Acebedo Kibble

"Each life is a journey – a uniquely personal passage through time; and GOD is the Author of each journey. He knows the way through every dark and frightening valley… He knows the safest path along each high and treacherous mountain trail … He knows where the cool, refreshing waters flow and where we can find the provisions to meet each of our needs… He gives us hope and courage as we walk with Him, step by step, one day at a time." ~Becky Acebedo Kibble

"In my grief, I’m comforted by the thought that - one day, we will never have to watch someone we love go through the intense pain and suffering that comes from some dreadful disease. We will never have to sit by a bedside while a dear one loses strength and life... for illness and pain will be no more." ~Becky Kay on her dying friend Patricia Hudson Wolfgang-Grentz, March 25, 2017

"When a total solar eclipse occurs, the light from the sun gets totally blocked by the moon. For these few minutes, day is turned to night. But when the eclipse ends, the sun resume its shining." ~Becky Acebedo Kibble

"When tragedy and grief occur, most of us automatically question why God allows such horrible things to happen. Circumstances can create clouds of doubt that shroud us in darkness. In spite of these doubts, the light of God & His truth still shines brightly. No eclipse can completely hide Him."

"Sometimes the sorrows of life can cause spiritual eclipse in our lives, turning everything upside down." ~Becky Acebedo Kibble

UNATTRIBUTED QUOTES

“As your senses delight in the attractive loveliness of the earth, think of the world that is to come, that shall never know the blight of sin and death; where the face of nature will no more wear the shadow of the curse. Let your imagination picture the home of the saved, and remember that it will be more glorious than your brightest imagination can portray. ..”. ~from Becky Kay

PERSPECTIVE on WINGS

"Seven times throughout the Psalms we read about taking refuge in the shadow of God’s wings. In the New Testament, Jesus wept over Jerusalem, wishing that He could protect the people the same way a hen gathers her brood under His wings.

A bird’s wings protect its young from predators - covering and camouflaging them until danger has passed. These feathery shields also serve as a shade from the sun and a warm haven from storms.

As children of God, we can take similar sanctuary under His wings. In times of grief and despair, our heavenly Father is tangibly present - a retreat for the beaten and weary. In life’s storms He shields us from the enemy. And thankfully throughout our day-to-day routine, He shelters us from the elements that can cause our heart and will to lag." ~Becky Kay

PERSPECTIVE on Typhoon Yolanda

"So many people are hurting right now - facing seemingly impossible odds. They feel abandoned, helpless and hopeless. Our words feel inadequate, and nothing anyone can do seem to fix things - we feel inadequate in light of what happened to our country, the Philippines ravaged by the fiercest storm, rendering people homeless, hungry and heart broken...

It is at the critical time such as this that our faith is stretched. But if we persevere, God will create a new level of spiritual strength in us that will help us understand more of who He is and who we are in Him. Let us therefore consider asking Him to help us see our circumstances through His eyes, instead of defining Him through our circumstances." ~Becky Acebedo Kibble (November 2013)

EG WHITE

"If there ever was a time when serious reflection becomes every one who fears God, it is now, when personal piety is essential. The inquiry should be made, "What am I, and what is my work and mission in this time? On which side am I working--Christ's side or the enemy's side?" Let every soul now humble himself or herself before God, for now we are surely living in the great Day of Atonement. The cases even now of many are passing in review before God, for they are to sleep in their graves a little season. Your profession of faith is not your guarantee in that day, but the state of your affections. Is the soul-temple cleansed of its defilement? Are my sins confessed and am I repenting of them before God, that they may be blotted out? Do I esteem myself too lightly? Am I willing to make any and every sacrifice for the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ? Do I feel every moment I am not my own, but Christ's property, that my service belongs to God, whose I am? " ~EG WHITE, Ms 87, 1886 (from Becky Kay)

Jeff Brown Quotes

"Kindness melts defences.
Kindness softens edges.
Kindness pierces armour.
Kindness eradicates shame.
Kindness lightens loads.
Kindness awakens hope.
Kindness clears debris.
Kindness invites connection.
Kindness opens hearts.
Kindness bridges souls.
Kindness inspires kindness.
Let us always be kind."
~Jeff Brown

"Love needs an entry point. If our emotional body is all blocked up with unresolved material, there's no way in. The more we empty the vessel before it comes, the more space love has to flourish. Healing our hearts gives love a place to land." ~Jeff Brown

"Out with the old and in with the true." ~Jeff Brown

"Sensitivity is a sign of life. Better hurt than hardened. I bow to those who keep their heart open when it is most difficult, those who refuse to keep their armor on any longer than they have to, those who recognize the courage at the heart of vulnerability. After all the malevolent warriors end each other, the open-hearted will inherit the earth." ~Jeff Brown

"The very fact that we are trying to heal our hearts in a world where so many have had to bury their hurt is already extraordinary. It may not seem like such a big deal, but when the energy has been moving in another direction for so many generations, it is quite a challenge to turn the tide. We are breaking new inner ground, after all. Recognizing this should translate into giving ourselves a break when we can’t quite get it perfect. It’s a long path back to the receptive heart, one opening at a time…" ~Jeff Brown

TRIBUTE to Nelson Mandela

RIP Nelson Mandela, 5 December 2013

NELSON MANDELA, 1918 - 2013 -
"A man of peace, grace, humility, humanity, courage." ~Vicente Calibo De Jesus, 6 December 2013

"I hope, coveting the same kind of hope that Nelson Mandela had for his people, that our country will raise a leader who will genuinely love our countrymen, reach the heart of the poor of our country and raise the dignity of our country. Our country can metamorphose." ~Lydia Robledo

"I still feel intensely sad about Mandela's passing. But above all, I feel an intense silence inside of me, unwilling to disturb it..." ~ShamanTube

"Nelson Mandela was not only a light to Africa but also an illumination to the whole world. He was a unifying force of the world: Asia, America, Australia, Europe and Africa. He is praised for his fabulous works and way of life, a man who could not die in power, but retire to pave way for new generation leader; the only man who could forgive those who hated him. Truly he will remain in our hearts though he is now gone. The sweet fruits of his sweats will remain with us, rest in peace Mandela." ~Rotich Kiplangat Domie

"When you walked out of prison, after 27 years, we were overjoyed to see you kiss your home land and now when you have left us, we cannot but admire your 95 years of wonderful life. RIP Nelson Mandela." ~Susan Deborah

"Mandela had the heart of a servant, because he wanted to be a good example to the nation that by being a servant you can be a great leader." ~From Michael Tunde Babalola (FB - December 2013)

Jesse Coleman - SHARKS

"The ocean is the sharks home, not ours, you can either accept the risk for what it is or stay out of the ocean altogether if you don't want to get bitten."

"Those fish you are taking are their (sharks) food supply."

"Killing sharks will adversely affect the marine ecosystem which will affect whether there are any more fish on which the fishing industry depends on to make a living."

"Deliberately going out of your way to consciously kill something that is doing what it naturally does in the name of survival is an ultimate arrogance."

"Just because you have seen sharks from your boat which in all honesty operates in a minuscule section of the earth's ocean, does not mean global shark populations are no longer at risk of becoming endangered or extinct due to events happening elsewhere on the planet."

Christopher Plummer 

"An actor should be a mystery." ~Christopher Plummer

"As you grow older, and you have some experience of life, you see more into the depths of each character." ~Christopher Plummer 

"Chris was an extraordinary man who deeply loved and respected his profession with great old fashion manners, self deprecating humor and the music of words. He was a national treasure who deeply relished his Canadian roots. Through his art and humanity, he touched all of our hearts and his legendary life will endure for all generations to come. He will forever be with us." ~Lou Pitt, Manager,  tribute to Christopher Plummer who died in February 5, 2021

"It is so very modern in its dysfunctional family and all of the trappings of power that are disappearing from them — is so modern, it's so human. You need to be much older to understand the depths of a part like that." ~Christopher Plummer on King Lear 

"Unless you can surround yourself with as many beautiful things as you can afford, I don't think life has very much meaning." ~Christopher Plummer

OTHERS 

“We’re second family, as adults, we were deeply bonded, so our lives have really interwoven with each other.” ~ Kym Karath (played the youngest von Trapp, Gretl, in an AP interview to commemorate the film’s 50th anniversary.)

"To refuse them would be fatal for all of us. And joining them would be unthinkable. We have to get out of Austria, and this house, tonight." ~Captain Von Trapp

"When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I’m feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad!"
