“You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You’ll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold.” – (Sting – from his song lyrics in Fields of Gold)
A CHRISTIAN COUNTS THE OMER – DAY 35
“These are the few ways we can practice humility: To speak as little as possible of one’s self. To mind one’s own business. Not to want to manage other people’s affairs. To avoid curiosity. To accept contradictions and correction cheerfully. To pass over the mistakes of others. To accept insults and injuries. To accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked. To be kind and gentle even under provocation. Never to stand on one’s dignity. To choose always the hardest.”
― (Mother Teresa, The Joy in Loving: A Guide to Daily Living)

A CHRISTIAN COUNTS THE OMER – DAY 33

NAOMI GOES HOME AGAIN
“This was the only shame he felt. And this shame was so great in him that he wondered if all his life thereafter would be long enough to wash it out of his brain and blood and the last pollution of its loathsome taint. And yet, he would have it thought that he was bitter.” -(Thomas Wolfe – You Can’t Go Home Again)
