Food for Thot

If you have nothing to give, is it because I want you to receive?
If you have nothing to say, is it because I want you to listen?
If you have nothing to contribute, is it because I'm contributing through others?
Be still and know that I am God.
When I wish to speak through you, speak.
When I am silent, be thou silent.

I Think Of You
Sung by: Niki
Music & lyrics: Philip


When the work seems too hard, and the harvest to slow;
When the vision get marred, and the fire burns low,
I think of You.
When the night seems too long, and the light seems too dim;
When the heart has no song, and the spirit no hymn,
I think of You.

When my body is tired, and my soul is run down;
When I should be in spired, but I'm wearing a frown,
I think of You.
When the world seem un-fair, and the wind is too cold;
When there's no change to spare, and my dreams have grown old,
I think of You.

When the aggressor wins, and the humble man cries;
When the arrogant grins, and the underdog dies,
I think of You.

You are the reason I survive
Through each season of my life.
When I'm confused in side my mind,
I think of You, and perfect peace I find.

If I should look down at the horrible shadows of emptiness,
I would be doomed to a life of defeat in my loneliness.
So I think of You, and the wonders You do.
The thought of You turns gray skies to blue.
When life gets intense, and nothing makes sense,
The tempest relents when I think of You.

I think of You.

We got into so many tight corners, but always found God there, that we began to look out for, nay, even desire, tight corners to get into, that we might see how God would extricate us from them.

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds. Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for some underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
Doing the right thing anyway, in spite of opposition or your own feelings, is the making of great men and women; it's the path to success.
