On Foolishness and Wisdom

On Foolishness and Wisdom


on foolishness and wisdomA Quote to Carry You

“The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.” Proverbs 12:15

We all make mistakes and regret certain things we’ve done in the past.  Sometimes no matter what the warning signs may be, we proceed with our plans without considering the consequences.  We go blindly after those things we should not, as if we’ve no eyes to see how dangerous they can become.  Despite hearing the sound advice of trusted family and friends, we listen to our own cravings that may satisfy us for a while, but betray our true needs in the end.  It is not always clear which is the best way to go, but there is always one, wise answer for every situation…his name is Jesus.

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”  Matthew 7:7

May your way be made sure today and always.

Peace,

Felecia

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26

Luck, leprechauns, shamrocks, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow…whatever fills your thoughts today, may you be blessed by the peace and hope that only God can give.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

On Luck and Chance

on luck and chanceA Quote to Carry You

March 10, 2014

“Luck is not chance, it’s toil; fortune’s expensive smile is earned.”  Emily Dickinson

This quote reminds me of when I just staring out  in my life’s work.  I remember when my future boss asked me during an interview what it was that I was seeking in the position I was applying for.  My answer began with “If given the chance…”  I can tell you, after many years of hard work, that chance had nothing to do with luck.  When we are given a chance at something in life, it is up to us to take hold of it and turn it into what we hope for. 

Peace,

“Laughing, smiling, having fun.  How I wish in this way all things could be done!” Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

I’ve just realized that the gut-wrenching reflex that doubles me over when some news sends me into uncontrollable sobbing is pretty much the same reaction I have when something makes me burst out laughing so hard that I can’t seem to stop.  That happened to me just now…and I am happy to say that it was caused by laughter.

A Happy Day to you!

“Sometimes it is in the losing your way that you find your true self.” (paraphrased)

This quote has meant different things to me at different times.  In most cases, I’ve identified with it just as it is written; the meaning is clearly and obviously presented.  At other times, my focus has been keenly on the losing part.

Peace,

Felecia

“Never leave me, for you are the oxygen that I need to breathe.” (Anonymous)

To me, these words express what love is beautifully!  I do not think that I need to say anything more…do you?

Love,

“Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.” (Exceprt taken from the poem “Dreams” by Langston Hughes)

Dreams…they are the force behind so much in our lives…they draw from our past, they sustain us in the present and they propel us into the future.   Let your dreams inspire you; let your dreams lead you to explore; let your dreams help you to reach higher; let them cause you to soar!

Peace,

Never Alone

Never Alone

“First Steps,” graphite pencil drawing by Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

Never Alone

There may be times when I am so afraid;

when I’ve become paralyzed with fear…

But, I am never alone.

There may be  times when I have blown it;

when I’ve truly let myself down…

But, I am never alone.

There may be times when I feel lost;

when I cannot seem to find my way…

But I am never alone.

There may be times when it seems to me,

that God is no longer there,

But, this I know for certain…

it is during all of those times He is right by my side.

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you.  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

Life can present so many challenges that frighten us.  Fear of the unknown, can cause so much anxiety that it can threaten to invade our very core.  We need only to take a moment to look around us and realize that we never need to despair.  God is greater than any obstacle that can force its way into our path, and He promises to be with us every step of our life’s journey.  It’s up to us whether or not we choose to step out on our own, or invite Him to travel with us.

Peace and love,

Felecia
