A Life to Live

Melody  Hendrix

There are many great minds on earth and not all are human.  Anthony Douglas
The idea that some lives matter less, is the root of all that is wrong with the world.

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.  Mahatma Gandhi

Autumn

27 Sep

A Life to Live

Melody Hendrix

“Come little leaves”, said the wind one day. “Come down to the meadow and we shall play. Put on your dresses of red and gold, for summer is past and the days grow cold.”
Dancing and leaping the leaves went along, until winter called them to end their sweet song. Soon, fast asleep in their earthly beds, the snow lay a coverlet over their heads.
George Cooper
How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.
John Burroughs
And always remember. Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. Maya Angelou

Nature

A Life to LIve

Melody Hendrix

God gave us eyes to see the beauty in nature…. and Hearts to see the beauty in each other.   Unknown
All the marvels of nature are glimpses of His divine power and expressions of His love.  
Elder M. Russell Ballard
How cool is it that the same God that created mountains and oceans and galaxies, looked at you and thought the world needed one of you too.  Unknown
Let the rivers clap their hands.. let the mountains sing together for joy before the Lord.  Psalm 98:8-9

Personal Journey

6 Sep

A Life to Live

Melody Hendrix

Not everyone will understand your journey… that’s fine…It’s not their journey to make sense of…. It’s your.  Zero Dean

Everyone is on their own personal journey, seeking their own truth. Sometimes we take things too personal. I have found that in order to really grow, as a soul, you have to come to an understanding that no matter what someone else has done to you, no matter who you wish them to be, people are who they are. The less you expect of them, the less you can be hurt by them. Melanie Koulouris

Never forget where you’ve been. Never lose sight of where you are going, and never take for granted the people who travel the journey with you. Susan Gale

It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end. Ernest Hemingway

The Light of God

23 Aug

A Time to Live

Melody Hendrix

God made two great lights…  The greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars Genesis 1:16
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness,
only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate,
only love can do that.”
Martin Luther King Jr
“The light of God surrounds me.
The love of God enfolds me.
The power of God protects me.
Wherever I am, God is, and all is well.”
James Dillet Freman

Adversity

2 Aug

A Time to Live

Melody Hendrix

“You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you.”
Mary Tyler Moore
“Far better it is to dare mighty things. To win glorious triumphs, even though they are checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much, nor suffer much, because they live in that grey twilight that knows no victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
“Life’s so ironic. It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence.”
unknown
