“The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.”

“We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.”

“If the traditional Rs (reading, writing, and arithmetic) are the basics that we want our children to master academically, then reverence, respect, and responsibility are the three Rs that our children need to master for the sake of their souls and the health of the world.”

“In trying to count our many blessings the difficulty is not to find things to count, but to find time to enumerate them all.”

“No one owes us anything. We only owe ourselves to get off our backsides, count our blessings, and face our challenges. When you live from that perspective, the gifts pour forth.”

“Our weaknesses are divine gifts that when embraced will enable us to make our purposeful contribution to the whole, which is why we incarnated in the first place.”
