[Continued tomorrow]  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 5, 1998  And let us be grateful beyond words for this: that God will not let us alone until we have learnt it and stand by His side. He troubles us, He brings His disturbing light back and back to us, showing us how coarse and heavy the dying self, seeking her own, is; how horrible it is that any feeling of unforgiveness, accepted and held on to, towards our brother, drives God from our side; how quickly we must do all we can to heal the separation, because we are out in the cold and the dark indeed, if divorced from that Love.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 6, 1998  Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597  Prayer is the expression of a good desire. The human heart is full of restless desires, and the prayers of men consist for the most part of the unsifted petitions which are urged by their varying passions. To desire what is right, and to desire it consistently, and passionately, is the first condition of true living; the desires can be corrected only by truth, the mind must apprehend God, and then it will say, "There is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Willowes are weak, yet they bind other wood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50111]]></link><description><![CDATA[Willowes are weak, yet they bind other wood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no must in art because art is free ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3147]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no must in art because art is free]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won.

It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't know who discovered water, but we know it wasn't the fish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44786]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't know who discovered water, but we know it wasn't the fish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One size does not fit all in any regulation.

It arises in and flows through a life hid with Christ in God. Its source is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the potency of the Holy Spirit. True spiritual power is the child of two parents: the truth as it is revealed in Jesus and our own experience resulting upon our acceptance of Him and His truth. The objective factor is that whole set of facts and truths, of historic events, and of interpretation of them, which is held by the church and set forth in the Bible. The subjective factor is what happens in the crucible of your life and mine when we accept the set of facts and truths and interpretations, and it begins to work in us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teamwork is no accident.It is the by-product of good leadership. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teamwork is no accident.It is the by-product of good leadership.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're still seeing some overland flooding issues, but it looks like the dikes are doing fine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29942]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're still seeing some overland flooding issues, but it looks like the dikes are doing fine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a lot of explanations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26134]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a lot of explanations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So smooth he daubed his vice with show of virtue That, his apparent open guilt omitted--  I mean, his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20238]]></link><description><![CDATA[So smooth he daubed his vice with show of virtue That, his apparent open guilt omitted--  I mean, his conversation with Shore's wife--   He lived from all attainder of suspects.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20238</guid></item></channel></rss>
