Weekend Wisdom: Dickens

Michele Kearns

A short, sweet, simple quote from Charles Dickens.

The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.

Charles Dickens

Imagine the joy you will feel being reunited with a loved one in heaven. The heavenly relationship will be deeper and more meaningful than your earthly relationship with your loved one.

Weekend Wisdom: Serve One Another

Michele Kearns

This is the next to the last weekend for wisdom from Don McMinn’s book “Love one another, 20 practical lessons.” We are on chapter 18 and the Bible verse comes from Galatians 5:13

Serve one another in love. 

Quotes About Serving

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.

 Charles Dickens

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves.

 
Horace Mann

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Mark 10:45
