• A Prayer
  Refuse to fall down
  If you cannot refuse to fall down,
  refuse to stay down.
  If you cannot refuse to stay down,
  lift your heart toward heaven,
  and like a hungry beggar,
  ask that it be filled.
  You may be pushed down.
  You may be kept from rising.
  But no one can keep you from lifting your heart
  toward heaven
  only you.
  It is in the middle of misery
  that so much becomes clear.
  The one who says nothing good
  came of this,
  is not yet listening.

  Clarissa Pinkola Estes

• The first miracle after the baptism of the Holy Ghost was wroughtly upon a beggar. It means that the first service of a Holy Ghost-baptized church is to the poor; that its ministry is to those who are lowest down; that its gifts are for those who need them the most. As the Spirit was upon Jesus to preach the gospel to the poor, so His Spirit is upon His servants for the same purpose.

• In the race for wealth, a neighbor tries to outdo his neighbor, but this strife is good for men. For the potter envies potter, and the carpenter the carpenter, and the beggar rivals the beggar, and the singer the singer.

• When beggars and shoeshine boys, barbers and beauticians can tell you how to get rich it is time to remind yourself that there is no more dangerous illusion than the belief that one can get something for nothing.
