Vintage Art Appreciation: God's Care by Mihael Stroj

God's Care, 1842
by Mihael Stroj (1803–1871)

Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you,
and to give thanks continuously.
And because all things have contributed to your advancement,
you should include all things in your gratitude.
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Think big. Pray bigger. Grace is at work for you in ways you're too human to understand.
― Andrena Sawyer

Even when you don't see Him working, He's busy working on your behalf.
Forever grateful for God's grace!
― Yvonne Pierre, The Day My Soul Cried: A Memoir

Vintage Art Appreciation: Garden View with a Dog by Tomás Yepes

Garden View with a Dog, 1660s
by Tomás Yepes (1595 – 1674)
All his life he tried to be a good person. Many times, however, he failed.
For after all, he was only human. He wasn't a dog.
― Charles M. Schulz

Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day.
It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.
― John Grogan, Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World's Worst Dog

People leave imprints on our lives, shaping who we become in much the same way that a symbol is pressed into the page of a book to tell you who it comes from. Dogs, however, leave paw prints on our lives and our souls, which are as unique as fingerprints in every way.
