"Silly
God" Humor/ Wisdom
Hands
that serve are holier than lips that pray.
Don't let what you can't do,
stop you from doing what you can.
Ask what the need is, and how
your life can be useful to others by serving. A leader must be a servant
first.
Keep on silently
repeating the name of the Lord and never worry about the results. The
results are entirely His.
-- Sathya Sai Baba, from Sathya Sai
Newsletter, Winter 1999-2000
Work
like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

In Sunshine or Storm, Remember...
May the strength from the days when the
road rises to meet you, the
days when the
wind is at your back, the days
when the
sunshine is warm upon your
face, the days
when the rain falls soft upon
the
fields, . . . . carry
you through the days when
you fall on the road, when the
wind blows
your house away, when it seems
like the sun
will never shine again, and
the rains are
washing your foundations
away! And -- in
every day of days -- sunshine
or storm --
remember that God holds you in
the palm of
His Hand.

Give your best . . . anyway
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and
self-centered; forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, People may accuse you of
selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some
false
friends and some true enemies; Succeed
anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may
cheat
you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone
could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, there
may
be jealousy; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will
often
forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it
may
never be enough; Give the world the best
you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is
between you
and God; It was never between you and
them anyway.

A Gift, Daily
"Past is history,
future is mystery,
the present is a gift,
and that's why it is called the
present."
-- Sathya Sai Baba (Sathya Sai Newsletter, USA, 26(4),
p. 5; also known to be attributed to other sources)
Peace in a Nutshell
1. Don't sweat the

You know how to make God
