Truth. Beauty. Goodness.

Your heart has been heard: To percieve beauty is to glimpse into eternity.

Which is why some people believe beauty to be a bad joke.
And maybe that is why femininity is so oppressed, because femininity is beautiful and it inspires… and in our cynicism, beauty becomes painful. We have ceased to dream because to dream in this world is painful.

To suppose that beauty does…

These colors are such a shock!

"Our greatest passion should be the Glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom. And so our attitude should be this: Father, if through prospering me economically, You can be glorified and You can advance Your Kingdom, then prosper me economically. But Father if through my poverty You can make me like Christ, glorify Your Name and advance Your Kingdom, then let me be poor. Father if You can get glory for Yourself and conform me to the image of Christ by healing my body, then please heal my body. But if through this sickness You can get more glory for Yourself, advance Your Kingdom and conform me to the image of Christ, then let me remain with my disease. A thousand years from now, this suffering would mean nothing. But the conformity to Christ that He creates in me would have eternal value."

And Home Economics taught me class is about ckae

That’s why the leaders of the states say, “Wait!” when the homeless don’t eat,

“We’ve got a lot on our plates!”

…

Waiting on the world to change

When we should wait on the the world like a waiter,

Serve the world

Man, this world is strange…

Song: I’ll Never Understand

Do yourself a favor and listen to this:

I untied the chains
Letting go of those who converged on my dad
Beating, pounding
Leaving him dead

I untied the chains
Letting go of those who propelled the grenade
Scattering my brother’s brains

I untied the chains
Letting go of those who knifed my sister’s throat
Leaving her begging for a better death

I untied the chains
Painfully, purposefully
Knowing the one who said to do it Seventy times seven
Totally understands the depth of my pain…

I will always stand by this.

This is a pretty good rule for a man too.

This is such a powerful message. It shows that verbal abuse can hurt as much as physical abuse. That saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me” is, in fact, a lie, in my opinion. Words do hurt. A lot.

A very powerful message.. reblogged.

This statement carries the most weight when it can be said in the midst of the most painful and trying circumstances.

“People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we seek to be amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation. To be entertained is a passive state—it is to receive pleasure afforded by an amusing act or a spectacle…. Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one’s actions.

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Wisdom of Heschel

Charm is deceptive and beauty fades, but a woman who fears the Lord…

"Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it."
