In the sanctuary of silence, we are surrounded by that clarity of mind and heart that allows us to walk without fear.
~ from AWAKENING THE SOUL by Rev. John C. Morgan
We can only care for others if we are cared for... Caring is not something sentimental; it means giving time, listening, affirming, understanding and encouraging. It means also challenging and evaluating, when necessary....To care for people does not mean to flatter them; it is to help them discover their own worth and their gifts, in order to grow in truth, and to accept their brokenness and shadow sides...
