Good Shepherd Sunday 
 
 
9I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find
pasture. 10 ... I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams.
Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in,
but with what it is still possible for you to do. 
                                                        ~ Pope John XXIII 
 
 
               
 
 
The greatest of faults, I should say,
is to be conscious of none.
                                                                   ~ Thomas Carlyle

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile,
a kind word a listening ear, an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have a potential to turn a life around.
