“Life is activity, and when we stop being
active we turn away from the newness of life. And the person who
grows old in years without an inward expectation and assurqance
that he is going to live forever, somewhere, will find the last
part of his life burdened with the thoughts of yesterday.
Let us make up our minds that yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow has not yet arrived. But today can be filled with wonder
if we know that we stand on the threshold of that which is wonderful
and new.
I have never yet met a single individual who
maintained this attitude in the last 0part of his life unless
he had faith. And I am talking about the kind of faith we all
understand the meaning of – faith in Something greater than
ourselves – in a Power greater than ourselves and a complete
assurance that we are going to live forever, somewhere.
It is an interesting fact that, whether
we know it and whether or not we like it, our lives are so tied
in with Spirit, that we cannot remain young and enthusiastic unless
we know that we are one with that which knows no age and no burdens.”
— Ernest Holmes
