Question and Thought as November 2015 closes!!!

Question and Thought as November 2015 closes!!!
Good Morning and Goodbye November!
1. Question – You have to agree that we need more love and understanding in the world, then please tell me why we don’t study love?
2. Thought – If he desired to know about automobiles, he would without question, study diligently about automobiles. If his wife desired to be a gourmet cook, she’d certainly study the art of cooking, perhaps even attend a cooking class. Yet, it never seems as obvious to him that if he wants to live in love, he must spend as much time as the auto mechanic or the gourmet in studying love. No mechanic or cook would ever believe that by “willing” the knowledge in his field, he’d ever become an expert in it.
In discussing love, it would be well to consider the following premises:
One cannot give what he does not possess. To give love you must possess love.
One cannot teach what he does not possess. To teach love you must possess love.
One cannot know what he does not study. To study love you must live in love.
One cannot appreciate what he does not recognize. To recognize love you must be receptive to love.
One cannot have doubt about that which he wishes to trust. To trust love you must be convinced of love.
One cannot admit what he does not yield to. To yield to love you must be vulnerable to love.
One cannot live what he does not dedicate himself to. To dedicate yourself to love you must be forever growing in love. (Love, What Life is all About by Leo Buscaglia)

Question & Thought for November 28th, 2015!

Question & Thought for November 28th, 2015!
Good Saturday Morning!!!
1. Question – Are you kind-of depressed you’re no longer “young?”
2. Thought – Looking at my peers, I’ve concluded that many of them are secretly thinking the same thing. Once we’ve accepted that life is not as fabulous in some of the ways that we thought it was, we realize it’s even more fabulous in ways we could of never known.
It’s not that you’re deluding yourself, refusing to gracefully accept that your youth is over. You accept the limits of age, but you accept the limitlessness of God as well. Something has ended, it’s true, but something new has also begun.
The generation now experiencing midlife cannot stand the thought that this was all for nothing. Dysfunctional, obsolete patterns of thought that blocked the pathway to your higher destiny are being interrupted at last. And while you might be feeling a bit depressed that you’re no longer young, you’re ecstatic that you’re no longer clueless. (The Age of Miracles by Marianne Williamson)
