Thoughts for the Heart

[HeLovesYou]

Dear Friends,

If anyone is interested, I found 101 Thoughts for the Heart in an old box. Not only are they interesting and touching, they have also been collected from a variety of notable sources. It was copyrighted in 1993 by Brownlow Publishing Company.

I will post a new one every week or so until they are finished. If anyone has comments or other insight on the thoughts, please feel free to add to the thread.

May the Spirit fill us all with love and compassion.
