Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding mutual confidence sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
If instead of a gem or even a flower we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend that would be giving as the angels give.
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us we often find that it is those who instead of giving advice solutions or cures have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
As a 22-year Army Veteran who served in Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom and as a Civilian Advisor to the Afghan Army in Operation Enduring Freedom I understand both the gravity of giving the order and the challenge of carrying it out.
Giving up even an ounce of precious freedom is a very serious thing to do.
We're giving our freedoms away. The American experiment was about freedom. Freedom to be stupid freedom to fail freedom to succeed.
Forgiveness is the giving and so the receiving of life.
My desire is to be a forgiving non-judgmental person.
Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness or else forgiving another.
The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods.
To be social is to be forgiving.
People can be more forgiving than you can imagine. But you have to forgive yourself. Let go of what's bitter and move on.
Food is fuel and not a solution to anything other than giving your body nutrients. I love chocolate like the next girl but it's not going to change my situation.
I don't think any other holiday embraces the food of the Midwest quite like Thanksgiving. There's roasted meat and mashed potatoes. But being here is also about heritage. Cleveland is really a giant melting pot - not only is my family a melting pot but so is the city.
The number one mistake is giving pets table scraps. I made the mistake thinking I was showing my dog love by giving her food and treats. You see a tiny 4 oz. piece of cheese but for a Boston Terrier like mine that's like one and a half hamburgers. That's unhealthy.
Food is a coping mechanism people are afraid of giving it up because then they'll feel confused and lost.
I will come up with a project that will wipe out poverty in the Philippines in two years. I want to remove the people from economic crisis by using the Marcos wealth. Long after I'm gone people will remember me for building them homes and roads and hospitals and giving them food.
Christmas is more stressful with present buying and making sure everyone gets included but Thanksgiving is really not that. I don't ever really get stressed out about the food.
Chicken fat beef fat fish fat fried foods - these are the foods that fuel our fat genes by giving them raw materials for building body fat.
I don't want to wake up and be bored. That's probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team and certainly one that I've been on for a long time and had success with? I don't plan on giving it up any time soon.
I do support artists standing by their beliefs and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.
From too much love of living From hope and fear set free We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be That no life lives for ever That dead men rise up never That even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea.
God will never direct us to be prideful arrogant and unforgiving immoral or slothful or full of fear. We step into these things because we are insensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit within us.
Courageous people do not fear forgiving for the sake of peace.
