Meet The Most Adorable Japanese Girl Who Really Loves Her Food
i just want to put her in my pocket!
“Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: “I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.” If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently.”

” ‘Teach us, Good Lord, to labor and to ask for no reward save that of knowing that we do Thy will.’ As I learn to pray that prayer, I find that there are many more rewards that come along as fringe benefits. As we make an offering of our work, we find the truth of a principle Jesus taught: Fulfillment is not a goal to achieve, but always the by-product of sacrifice.”
—Elisabeth Elliot, Keep A Quiet Heart
“To try to win a soul for Christ by keeping that soul in ignorance of any truth is contrary to the mind of the Spirit; to endeavor to save men by mere claptrap, excitement, or oratorical display is as foolish as to hope to hold an angel with bird lime or lure a star with music. The best attraction is the Gospel in its purity. The weapon with which the Lord conquers men is the truth as it is in Jesus.”
—Charles H. Spurgeon, The Soul Winner
