Day 3: Your Favorite Quote

               Ok, so how does one go about choosing a favorite quote? I know I can't; I can think of so many that relate to me, but all in different ways. For instance, I kind of have a thing for Dr. Seuss quotes, and there are way too many of those to choose from. On the other hand, some of Nelson Mandela's most famous words tell me to keep on keepin' on. But, I could also quote scripture, which is the one thing I can always count on being absolutely pure. Do I choose a lighthearted quote? One with historical value? What about something to bring me closer to God? Decisions, decisions...

               Know what? I think I'm gonna bend the rules a little here. ;) I think 3 quotes is a superb idea. This really goes to show how I sometimes can't (or don't want to) make up my mind.

1) We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. - Dr. Seuss 

Mmk, is this not the perfect analogy or what?

2) The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. - Nelson Mandela

Why is this so hard to remember sometimes? Even though we try to be, we can never be perfect. I find myself thinking about this often, not because I see fault in others as failure, but because of how I feel when I mess up. Believe me, it doesn't feel good. But, I know the only way to get better is to pick myself back up and try again.

3) Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. - 1 Corinthians 4-8a

Any time I'm feeling down, I read this and remember that this is how God loves us, and this is how we are meant to love each other. That's hard, isn't it, to love without thinking evil, enduring all things?


*Day 3: I really enjoyed this one! I hope you do, too!
