Quotes to lift the spirit

Porta del Paradiso-Florence, Italy

Those of you that know me, are aware that my siblings and I have been clearing out our parents home in order to rent or sell the property. In doing so I have found many of my stored old possessions. The other day I found the beautiful bible I was given when I was baptised in my church. I remember when I received it and what a treasure it was in a gold colored box. White leather with a zipper, still in perfect condition. In those years I kept the new bible in its' original box and read from the tattered black bible I had always used for church. Finding this beautiful bible reminded me of how often I found solace in reading it. Here are some passages which give me a sense of peace even today. I'll share them with you too.
