Sunday Inspiration: What We Have

It’s not so much what we have in this life that matters. It’s what we do with what we have.
—Fred Rogers

Sunday Inspiration: Heroes

We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say, “It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.” Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.
—Fred Rogers

Monday Inspiration: Everybody Walkin’ This Land

Sunday Inspiration: Gifts

We all have different gifts, so we all have different ways of saying to the world who we are.
—Fred Rogers

Sunday Inspiration: Giving and Taking

Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting.
—Elizabeth Bibesco

Sunday Inspiration: Pain

Pain is a kindly, hopeful thing, a certain proof of life, a clear assurance that all is not yet over, that there is still a chance. But if your heart has no pain—well, that may betoken health, as you suppose: but are you certain that it does not mean that your soul is dead?
—A. J. Gossip

Sunday Inspiration: Peace

It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
—Eleanor Roosevelt

Sunday Inspiration: Optimism

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
—Winston Churchill

Sunday Inspiration: The Price of Anything

The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.
—Henry David Thoreau

Sunday Inspiration: The Light that Is You

Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world.
All things break. And all things can be mended.
Not with time, as they say, but with intention.
So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally.
The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.
—L. R. Knost
