Sayings to Ponder

Don’t tell someone

to get over it.

Help them get

through it.

~ Oleg Vishnepolsky

You can’t give your life more time,

so give the time you have left more life.

Enjoy it!

prepare for it!”

THERE IS NO PERFECT LIFE, NO

PERFECT JOB, NO PERFECT

CHILDHOOD, NO PERFECT

MARRIAGE AND NO PERFECT SET

WHAT WE EXPECT THEM TO DO.

WHAT WE HAVE IS A PERFECT GOD

WHO IS ABLE TO LEAD US

THROUGH THIS IMPERFECT LIFE

WITH UNFAILING STRENGTH,

INCOMPARABLE WISDOM AND

INFINITE LOVE.
