From the Prayer Journal of Fr. jack Tolley

12/4/2018

 
Living in today, in the now of life. I found these quotations to be very helpful to me. I put them in my 2015 Prayer Journal. I thought you might like them, too. Blessings, love, and hugs, Fr. Jack. 

"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards."
(Soren Kierkegaard, 1813 to 1885, Danish Philosopher)

"We look backward we see themes, incidents, and phases.
We don't see our lives in the context of where we are headed.
Hindsight may be 20/20, but only if we forget that memories and truth are not the same."

(The Rev. Steve Lawler, Anglican Digest, 2015)

"I lift my eyes to the hills - from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth."
 
(Psalm 121: 1-2)
