I needed uplifting and heartwarming thoughts today. I’ve been sick for the last couple days, and it has been pretty awful. So, I grabbed an old folder that contained some very wise words.
I’d like to share some of these with you. Hopefully, the quotes resonate and uplift you in times of trouble.
Love isn’t love until you give it away.
First of all, there is nothing more uplifting than love! Whether you share love with your partner, a friend, or your pet, giving love returns love to the giver.
A friend is a present you give yourself.
Likewise, friendship bring so much happiness. Our friends are important in our daily lives. We need someone to listen to us or go our and share fun times. This is one of the best uplifting gifts!
Mother is another word for love.
What can be more heartwarming than the love of a mother? Certainly, a person who nurtures and sacrifices to help her children is synonymous with love.
A family is a circle of caring.
Indeed, a family provides support to us. It is like a circle: continuous and without end.
It takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow.
Have faith that your rainbow will appear. In other words, rain in our life is a necessary a sunshine if we are every to see and fully appreciate the miracle of a rainbow!
Friendship is to people what Sunshine is to flowers.
To put it another way, our friendships shine a life-giving light upon us. We need our friends to thrive.
Anybody can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy.
This picture demonstrates this quote beautifully. Although, a father is the biological parent, a daddy is someone who takes the time to build a relationship with his child.
A house is made of brick and stone.
A home is made of love alone.
Of course, houses are built to shelter people and give warmth. But, the true warmth of a home is the love that families share within. A home filled with love is truly heartwarming.
Fine friends are few. Thank you for being you.
Appreciate your friends. Let them know how important they are to you.
A friend is a person with whom you dare to be yourself.
Be yourself with your friends and share the greatest fun! Who else can you be silly with?
It doesn’t matter where you go or what you have.
What matters is who you have beside you.
The loved ones you keep close to you bring you more value than any gold or excitement could ever provide.
Each day should be unwrapped like a precious gift.
When we awake, we have new possibilities. Bring love to each day and enjoy living.
There are no strangers here,
only friends who haven’t met.
Do you need a friend? Look around you. There are many people to make friends with.
Love looks not with the eyes but with the heart.
In fact, we recognize love with our feelings and emotions. Just look at your pet, child, or significant other, and you know in your heart that this is love.
Friends, like flowers, give pleasure just by being.
The simplest moments with your friends are often the best ones. The quiet times are often the best memories.
