Soulful Thoughts of Rachel

Love comes out of heaven
unasked and unsought.

~Pearl S. Buck ~

This is a lovely quote. It’s true that love and blessings from God can come in surprising ways. Sometimes it comes before we’re even aware of it.

I think life is like a web of experiences.
You get the chance to love and be loved.
You get to work and play.
You get to discover and grow.

What the heart gives aways is never gone …
It is kept in the hearts of others.

~ROBIN ST. JOHN~

I’m grateful for the kindness shown to me by others.
I value every little gesture.
Small acts of kindness is a blessing I’m thankful for.

My friend Gary sent me this inspiring text message.

Life is an undying cycle.
A battle of survival.

If we quit, then we’re a loser.
If we fall, stand up.

If we keep on complaining
about the miseries of life,
nothing will happen.

God doesn’t throw stones that
we cannot catch.
Live with Him and everything
will turn out right.

I admit that sometimes it seems easier to give up than continue trying. Whenever I feel this way, I just turn to God and ask for his guidance. He never lets me down. I thank God for always being there for me and my family.

Little deeds of romance and little words of love can add more meaning to life. Love can bring out the very best in a person. It’s amazing how love can inspire so many romantic ideas in someone. Sweet thoughts and heartwarming words have their way of touching the heart. Receiving love letters is like receiving a timeless gift. Romantic words will never break, tarnish nor wither in time. The joy that love letters bring will always remain in the heart. Receiving a love letter can be as rewarding as writing one for a special person in your life. As you write your feelings, you share a special part of yourself to that person. It’s a priceless gift that anyone can bestow.

Finding the right person to spend the rest of your life with is a great blessing from God.
Make it a point to SHARE good times and BEAR the hard times together.
Have a balanced life … learn to LAUGH, LIVE, TRUST and FORGIVE.
As long as you are TOGETHER side by side, you can enjoy the beauty if life.

I was never tired of this life
and it’s gonna matter
if I fall down twice, ‘coz I
know you won’t let me
reach the ground.

I wrote this line on my journal a long time ago. I was fixing my things earlier and saw my old journal where this is written. Unfortunately, the name of the author is not indicated.

I feel this way towards my family. They inspire me and give me the strength I need to face each day.

Learn from yesterday,
live for today, hope for
tomorrow.

We should live each day to the fullest. Life is not perfect, we have our share of ups and downs. We should make it a point to learn from our mistakes and be better individuals in the process. No matter how challenging some days can be, we should never lose hope. Try to think positive and think that there is a good future waiting ahead.

If you have built castles in the sky,
your work need not be lost; that is
where they should be. Now put
foundations under them.

~THOREAU~

Make your dreams and aspirations come true by doing something about them. When you make a goal, make sure you make plans. Work on those plans to achieve the goal you set.

The time to be happy is now;
the place to be happy is here.

~ Robert G. Ingersoll

These short lines are very significant. I would like to embrace the thought behind it as often as I can. I realized that often times, happiness can be found in our hands. If we focus on positive things in life and less on the negative ones, we can learn to grasp the essence of living a happy life.
