The 02/08/13 Joy Jar

7 Feb

Do you ever think what one welcomes after a long tiring week? A pillow and a good night’s rest. A time when one doesn’t have to turn on the trusty alarm clock and one can sleep until you wake-up. The pillow becomes an ally and friend. Today’s deposit into the ‘Joy Jar’ is the pillow.

 

Fatigue is the best pillow.
Benjamin Franklin

No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.
Lin Yutang

What pillow can one have like a good conscience?”
John Steinbeck, Tortilla Flat

 

Comfy jammies, cozy bed, big soft pillow for your head. Worry not, the world can wait take your time and recuperate.

Unknown

 

I put a piece of paper under my pillow, and when I could not sleep I wrote in the dark.
Henry David Thoreau

 

Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.

Maya Angelou

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 12/24/12 ‘Joy Jar’

30 Dec
Many folk wonder what the true meaning of Christmas is? Is it the gift card, the game, or a fashionable this or that? Is the meaning something deeper? Here is today’s deposit in the ‘Joy Jar.’ It is the true meaning  of Christmas.
1 Corinthians 13:13
New International Version (©1984)
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hope is a waking dream.”
Aristotle
Like when you sit in front of a fire in winter — you are just there in front of the fire. You don’t have to be smart or anything. The fire warms you.”
Desmond Tutu
Christmas doesn’t come from a store, maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more….”
Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Christmas is a feeling that should last more than one day.
