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

Sincerity is commitment of emotions: purpose is a commitment of action.
Marriage is where two people are guarding one love.
Forgiveness is less about giving and more about reliving ones self of an increasingly, weightily, burden.
Love is always seeking new ways to express itself to the one loved.
The trinkets of life mean little at the time of death.
Give hope to find hope!

Happiness causality of bitterness.
Happiness is a bi-product of doing the Will of God in your life.
The best way to seek happiness is to provide happiness to others.
Happiness is the fruit of Salvation.
Without love happiness is only a dream of a moment.
Happiness us an unwelcome guest in the home of the unforgiving.
Happiness flourishes the services of others.
Look out! Happiness overcomes the believer…early and often.

Sunshine on the outside but darkens on the inside? Solution….Sunshine on the inside brings sunshine on the out side!!!
Love requires, often that you have to give up what you have to get more than you had.
Never “cast lots” for things Eternal.
Measure you wealth more by what you gave than by what you kept.
Faith defends its own boarders.
God’s promise are unmovable; man’s promise are always subject to change
.

The cruelty of man is Satan’s delight.
Revenge is hatred in action.
Love sees the good behind the obvious bad.
Sin always result is evil.

Forgiveness is the most powerful tool available to man.
Missionaries not only seek the "lost" but prepare the “found” for Heaven.

The best way to have an abundant life is to love abundantly.
Abundance is less about having plenty than it is about giving plenty.
If you have more than you need you have more than enough!
Doing an abundance of good surpasses having an abundance of things.
Abundant happiness is based on what you have invested in others.
Abundant Grace to you expects abundant Grace to be flowing through you.
Grace is tolerance, strength, and forgiveness, all wrapped up in one.

Poverty stalks the selfish.
Poverty of money leaves you hungry; while poverty of friends leaves you lonely.
Wealth must be calculated by adding up your moments of contentment, joy, wonder, and generosity.
An abundance of love is the greatest blessing one can have, leave, or sow, into the lives of others.
Wealth is for sharing, God is willing to share with you all of the wealth of Heaven, none of which you have earned.
A poverty of friends is the greatest poverty of all...

Poverty is, not what you do not have, but what you do have that you will not share!

Christians have no need to be negative because in the end they win!
Love is the reason that we see the good in another rather than just what needs improvement.
If you want to change the world better yourself!
Happiness is a quality of life of your own choosing.
A good friend thinks you are a “good apple” even if he knows you are a bit bruised and sometimes, slightly sour.
Doing right makes us feel good; and doing good makes us feel right.

Generosity and love cannot be separated,
Giving will heal feelings and overcome disperse.

If you are unwilling to change you are unwilling to grow.
The Magnificent Love is God, is still loving you, while knowing all about you.

A gain of God’s love is greater than all of the sins of man.
If it were not for my weaknesses I would be stronger; but because of my weaknesses He is stronger in me.
Faith must exceed doubt to be Faith.

Breath out hope, breath in contentment….It will change your life!
Revenge is a self-inflicted cancer that becomes contagious like no other disease.
More politics is driven by revenge than principle.
Most of us have enough trouble doing right with what we know; knowing more only troubles us more. (That is one reason folks skip church)
There is no desert, dry enough, hot enough, or lonely enough to affect God’s abundant rain of love to fall on you today!
Stop trying to read the expiration date on your live and live it until the end!
May the last breath you breathe be in an attempt to do the something good for God!

Doubt is the purgatory of hope.
Love senses its need in others.
Forgiveness is a requirement for Heaven…His of you and yours of others.
Leave behind what will not benefit your journey.
Joy is a gift of love but is only an unfulfilled promise of sin.
Learn to live better than you feel.

Frivolous days and frivolous nights lead to frivolous lives.
Being useful keeps you from become useless.

Do more than you should; for more that you should; more often than you should; which is what Jesus does for you.
The blessing of helping someone else never exceeds the blessings that are returned to you.
Enjoy the lavish, lusciousness, of living near our Lord.
The perseverance of your hope is fueled by the tenacity of the love that inspires it.
The foundation for love is from above.
There is always room to park you doubts among your fears.

Your tenacity to love reveals your tenacity to live.
Measure your success by the success you have inspired in others.
It is good to hope for the best in others; but it is better to help them to be their best.
Married love is fenced in with principle, held together by sharing, saturated with compassion, and grounded in commitment intertwined with forgiveness.
Grace teaches you how to love the “hard to love” folks in your life.
To love others you must first love yourself, in order to love yourself, you must first love God.

Love that endures to the end is a wonder; love that prospers to the end is a blessing.
Love asked the question, “What would I want from love?” then does just that.
Hatred is not just the lack of love, but it is the presence of loss, bitterness, and emptiness.
Love can only complete itself by loving.
Marriage is love, full of the self-fulfilling prophecy; that together, life can only get better, and better, and better!
Marriage is where attraction is refined into love.

The truth of love is found in its delivery.
Respect is the foundation of love.
Love is the water of the living.
Hatred comes from the unwillingness to love.
Loving the brethren will keep you blessed; loving your enemies will keep you humble.
Love provides its own reward; its own strength; and its own contentment.
Often, loving others is easier than loving yourself.

Every life is a model of its own faith.
In life you only get to make two meaningful choices: whether to be happy and whether to love.
Love enriches whatever it touches.
Bitterness tarnishes whatever touches.

Forgiveness breeds love.
Lack of forgiveness breeds bitterness.

We tend to quietly correct our own mistakes, while shouting loudly the mistakes we find in others.
