A Smoky Mountain HI

Here is a journey I make each day. Time flows on this side of eternity. I have aged as gracefully as reasonable as can be be expected, and yet feel not a day older in my mind. As I begin a life in the Smoky Mountains I hope you will share my journey as well. www.kleincabin.com

The light in the eyes of a child will transfer immediately to the heart of another.

The warmth of a fireplace is only exceeded by the warmth of family.

Give to those who need not just to those who want.

Snuggle up to the Baby Jesus and fall in to His Everlasting Arms.

Christmas came so Jesus could rise from the dead.

Keeping up with the Jones may be more costly than just money.

Hard times and laziness are nothing alike.

Hungry people work, lazy people beg.

A person that cannot work must be fed; one that will not work should never be fed.

Learn to discern not judge.

The supreme desire of your heart should be to know the Supreme.


The Christmas spirit cannot be charged on a credit card.


Give something this Christmas to someone who cannot know you gave it and can give nothing you want or need in return.


Forgive some one for something this Christmas it will be the best gift you give yourself.


Remember what you receive and forget what you gave.

Feeling are not imaginary neither are they reliable.

Your mind is the flower of possibilities.

Never confuse fun and joy they can be the part of the same or totally absent from one another.

While counting your blessings that differ
from someone elses try to understand why?.

A prayer before the crisis prevents many a
crisis.

May the spirit of Christmas inhabit every day of your life.

Try not to do right in the wrong way.

No good deed will go unrewarded; the best prize is at the end of the journey.

The past is not the predictor of the future, but what you now will be.

Emulate the love of good people.

It takes more effort to be impossible, than to be difficult.

Examine yourself before judging another.

The manger is the feed troth for the Bread of Life.

Every man without God lives in abstract poverty.

Prayer kindles the fires of joy.

Are your enemies friends, who have not gotten to know you yet?

May people’s lies about you, be untrue.

Don’t make enemies, there are enough, ready-made.

Pray that people be glad to see you come, sad to see you go, and know why!

Publish your good tidings by your good deeds.

Farming is a way of keeping poverty near at hand.

A wood pile, a wood stove, and a fireplace; can heaven be far away?

Wealthy is the one who smells the freshly turned soil.

Self-reliance is a gift of God-reliance.

Farmers may be thin but they are not hungry.

Abandon laziness and embrace hard work.

Great books tell you the truth.

Life requires daily renewal.

For something to be thought provoking one must view it from the mind.

Harkin to the good in you soul.

Giving is the fun side of loving.

The crackling fireplace is for good memories.

You do not deserve what you have; it has been given to you.

Snow is the rain of the winter, the hope of spring.

Christmas is the possibilities season.

Pressure makes you strong and exposes your weaknesses.

If your life is your life you are in trouble for sure.

Roam the Hand of God today, you will find if fascinating.

Cool weather warms the heart and turns your sweater into a friend.

This Christmas will become your memories; what then shall they be?

Do better than you have, to be better than you were.

Live life so people believe you believed.

If you are the center of attention, move over.

A deceitful heart lies to you, as well as others.

This is the best day of your life so get ready.

Pioneers are folks who start at the improbable and end at the impossible.

Good thoughts are filter through the heart.

Mercy is a difficult gift to give or receive.

Smart people listen to others, intelligent understand others, successful people apply what the have assimilated from others.

Do not eat with the hand you swat the fly.

God gives privileges not rights.

North of anywhere is south of somewhere.

To always get more than you deserve, give much.

Market for your needs and give from your surplus.

Learn to love someone before you need them.
