My Daily Book of Motivation and InspirationBy Schuller, Robert H.HarperSanFrancisco

Born for Eternity
There was a Western farmer who on a mountain hike found anegg lying in the grass. He picked it up, took it home, and put itunder the hen that was sitting on chicken eggs. Eventually the henhatched the egg along with the other eggs. But what came forthwas the most awkward, crude, ugly-looking creature the farmerever saw. He called the neighbors in and asked if they knew whatit was but they could not tell. Nobody had the slightest idea whatthis peculiar creature was. It developed wings that became a heavyburden on the little body -- big, oversized, clumsy wings that weretoo big for him. And its legs developed deformed crooks thatlooked like claws, and the beak, instead of being straight andsharp, was crooked. It survived and it grew until one day, above thebarnyard, there was a shrill scream and this awkward bird lookedup and he saw gliding slowly in great circles above the farmyard ahuge bird; and for the first time, his instinct told him what he was.He was an eagle -- bred for the mountains, born to fly, and destinednever to be happy while earthbound in a barnyard.
Ah, that's it. Why do human beings have such frustrations,such disturbances, such mental problems? We may have legs andwe may have mouths and we may have eyes like animals. But weare bred for heaven. And so, St. Augustine said, "No human beingis really at peace until he has come to God by faith." We instinctivelyfeel the call of eternity, like the wild, domesticated animalwho hears the call of the wild and must respond. One wisephilosopher said that when God wants to prove something to peopleHe puts it in their instincts. So that is Christ's first word onthe subject; we are born for eternity.

For Spiritual Awareness
Too often, O God, the sacred calm of your still small voice isoverpowered by the roar of the traffic, the moan of ambulances,the wail of sirens, the growl of buses, the rude interruption of thedoorbell. Jet airplanes, trucks, trains, television, telephones fillmy everyday world with noises my ears were never designed totolerate.
An irritating assortment of unnatural sounds drowns yoursilver-soft voice, Lord, which whispers through the trees. Oh, myLord, there are birds winging and I do not see them, childrenplaying and I do not hear them, flowers blooming and I do notenjoy them, clouds sailing silently through the soundless sea ofspace and I do not see them!
God, you are living and moving and I do not feel you! Increasemy awareness of the throbbing reality of the dynamic,spiritual universe around me, Lord. God! You are moving inmighty thoughts and feelings within me now! I am surroundedwith an awareness of you that gives me a new lease on life!
Thank you, God. Amen.

Descripción de la tienda
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
