Thought for Today

Espirational: A 10 Minute Vacation for the Soul

Copyright 2016 by R.A. Robbins

“We have it within; but we get it all from without…”

Craig's Quotes

“We have it within; but we get it all from without. There is a well-spring of strength, wisdom, courage and great imagination within each one of us; but once we draw on this truth, it gets watered from without, by a Higher Source – the Ultimate Source of Life and Love, which is God, the very Ground of our Being.”
