This is such a great Life Principle! I hope you enjoy it!

I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."

Isn't this an awsome attitude? I wish I would have learned this before now and still wonder if I really do understand it at all. I have tried to live by these principles but know that I have fallen far short of their message. That is the main reason I turn to the God of Jesus Christ. I don't believe anyone can truly have this great attitude unless they have a higher power showing and helping them live this truth.

Disclaimer: I know there are many who do not believe in the God of Jesus Christ and I would NEVER belittle their belief and faith. Please accept me as I accept you...with respect.

I agree with you! Even so, there are people who don't necessarily agree...but you know what, I have discovered that this is a good group of people. I have yet to run into any real conflicts here.
If they have issues, as I do with some things I read, they keep it to themselves..and I do the same.

Of course it depends on the topic...sometimes I speak up.

I just put a watch on your blog so I can be notified everytime you post something.
It's great to see people of Faith online.

Thank you! I agree about "people of Faith". Many times I like to listen to find out where a person is coming from and then if God leads give them a message of hope. Hoping in the Lord and His promises are the foundation of my life. I love meeting new sisters and brothers!

How do you get the smilies in your post?
