Walk with the Lord when your heart needs company. Take his hand when you feel alone.Turn to him when you need someone to lean on. He's the only one you can rely on.
God gave you a promise that you wont have to face life alone. For when you grow weak on your struggles, His strength will prevail and not your own.
God can reach each falling tears. He sees the heart that needs a cheer. He know the path that is hard and dear. Don't ever give up because he is near.
Step by step, the journey goes on. Little by little it may seem so long. The things we learn will keep us on. With faith in God He will keep us strong.
Falling in love with the Lord is the greatest romance, searching him is the greatest adventure; finding HIM is the greatest achievement; being with him is the greatest source of happiness.
God said don't look around because you will be impressed. Don't look down you will be depressed, just look at ME all the and you will be blessed...

Journey to God starts with one small step at a time. He doesn't expect you to run the mile but He promises to give you strength to go the distance.
I can love you but God can love you deeper. I can be a friend but God can be your best friend. I can hug you but God can envelope you. You can cry to me but God can dry your tears. I can hold your hand but God can carry you.
When God puts a tear in your eyes, its because He wants to put a rainbow in your heart.
God often uses small matches to light up great torches and no matter how small you feel in this world, He has something big in store for you.
Life is good when somebody remembers. Life is uplifting when someone is always there. Life is great when someone would protect you and suffer.
Cherish life because someone always cares.
Search for the truth and you shall find beauty. Search for beauty and you shall find love. Search for God and you shall find them all!
In God's eye love is never absent. In God's embrace, no one is ever alone or forgotten. God Bless!

Don't date because you are desparate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.
Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat,
Don't lie,
Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.
Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough and know better.
Don't hurt your because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.
Don't stagnate! don't regress.
Don't live in the past.time can't bring anyhting or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly mr. right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely mr. wrong because your biological clock is ticking. learn a new skill. find a new friend. start a new career. sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid for some of life's more hasty decisions. to terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless. to feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy. to fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life in this world for all the wrong reasons. to make yourself happy, pursue your passions and be the best of what you can be. simplify your life. take away the clutter. get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits, and dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.
Don't live life recklessly wihtout thought and feeling for your family.be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly. go on that trip.
Don't postpone it. say those words.
Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn. write poetry.
love deeply. walk barefoot. dance with wild abandon. cry at the movies. take care of yourself.
Don't wait for someone to take care of you. you light up you life. you drive yourself to your destination. no one completes you- except YOU. it isn't true that life does not get easier with age. it only goes more challenging.
Don't be afraid.
Don't lose capacity to love. pursue your passions. live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in god.
Don't grow old. just grow YOU! when you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. your time is your life. that is why the greatest gift you can give to someone is your time. relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves...

Women Have Strengths That Amaze...

|
They carry ,
they carry hardships,
they carry burdens,
yet they hold faith, happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They volunteer for good causes.
They are pink ladies in hospitals,
they bring food to shut ins.
They are senators, educators, childcare workers, executives, attorneys, truck drivers, pilots, stay at home moms and your neighbors.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up against injustice.
They write to the "powers that be" for things that make for a better life.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They can wipe a tear, cover a cut and pat you on the back at the same time.
They go without new shoes so their can have them.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They tell people that need to be told to straighten up their act.
They lend a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen and a voice to make suggestions.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They can round up energy, even when they are tired.
They can stay up a little longer to talk to someone that needs a friend.
Women do more than give birth.
They bring peace and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
They weep with joy when their excel, and cheer when loved ones get awards.
Women want people to grow into the best person they can be.
They want to touch you in a way that will make you share your goodness with others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair ...
True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes
because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!

10 Tools to Reach Your Goals Quickly
|
Posted:Apr 15, 2007 6:35 pm
Last Updated:May 11, 2024 11:14 pm 2862 Views
|
1. Clarity of purpose.
For a dream to become a goal, it
must be specific. While it's fun to
daydream about being rich, it takes
courage and hard choices to decide
exactly how much money you want and how
you are going to earn it. Being "thin"
is an image; losing 23 pounds by your
birthday is a goal. In life, we probably
can't have it all. You can lose 23
pounds, or you can have the cake and ice
cream. Your choice. Be clear.
2. Commitment.
There's a story from ancient Greece
about a general who landed his troups on
the beach, then burned his ships. He
wanted each soldier to know there was no
turning back, no retreat, no alternative
to victory. Once your goal is clear,
emotionally commit to achieving it.
There are no alternatives.
3. Talk about it.
This is called "accountability."
Once you've defined your goal and
committed yourself to achieve it, start
talking about it! If you want to lose
weight, don't blame your spouse for
buying ice cream if they don't know and
understand your goal! Talking about your
goals makes them emotionally real and
powerful. It allows people to help you
reach your goal and support you along
the way. Some people will also criticize
or threaten you. Don't worry about it.
4. Write it down.
This is basic, and one of the
oldest, simplest and most powerful
techniques for achieving any goal. Write
it down! Describe precisely what you
want, how you will earn it, when you
will have it, and the benefits you'll
receive from achieving your goal. Write
the details. Write the colors, the
shapes and the dates.
5. Write it every day!
Every morning, use a small card or a
corner of your appointment book to
record a short description of your goal
where you will see it all day long.
Don't carry the same card day after day!
If your goal is worth anything, it's
worth one minute of your time to write a
simple sentence describing your dream
and focusing on your priorities. Do this
every morning.
6. Have a plan.
Create a map for getting there. And
put dates on it! A goal to retire at age
40 has no meaning without a savings and
investment strategy. A goal to create
your own business is just a fantasy
without a plan to attract investors,
find a location, hire staff and sell
your goods or services. The beauty of a
plan is that it allows you to…
7. Take action every day!
"A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step." Any goal
that is worthy of you, is worth a few
minutes of your time and some of your
energy every single day. To one day
write a novel, write a chapter this
week. To open your own business, read a
business magazine today. To create a
more loving family, give someone a hug
today. To be salesperson of the year,
make a phone call right now!
8. Use constant affirmations.
One of my is a PGA golfer.
From the moment his ball lands on the
green until he sinks the putt, he
repeats over and over "I will make this
putt!" He repeats that phrase as many as
200 times before every putt! Do you
think he would be more, or less,
successful if he spent those moments
thinking, "I just hope I don't miss
it."? Tell yourself what you want to hear!
9. Review, and re-commit, often.
Never be afraid to review your
goals, evaluate whether you are still
100% committed to them, and re-commit to
achieving them. If your values, or your
choices have changed, change your goals
accordingly, and be honest about it! And
if your goal still fits, run to it with
all your heart!
10. Celebrate each milestone!
Never wait to have a party! Each
deposit in your savings account deserves
a checkmark on the calendar and a hug
from your partner. Each day without a
cigarette deserves a smile and
congratulations from your loved ones.
Every step toward your goal should be
documented and celebrated! When you get
discouraged or have doubts, your record
of past successes will quickly get you
back on track. Not sure about this? Ask
any marathon runner whether they count
each mile on their run to the finish
line! Celebrate each and every milepost
on your path to victory!

Short Autobiography of Mother Theresa
|
Posted:Apr 3, 2007 4:47 pm
Last Updated:Apr 7, 2007 11:45 am 2992 Views
|
Mother Teresa, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, died on September 5, 1997, in her convent in India. She was 87. Born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in 1910 in Skopje, Yugoslavia, she joined the Sisters of Loreto in 1928. She took the name "Teresa" after St. Teresa of Lisieux, patroness of the Missionaries.
In 1948, she came across a half-dead woman lying in front of a Calcutta hospital. She stayed with the woman until she died. From that point on, she dedicated the majority of her life to helping the poorest of the poor in India, thus gaining her the name "Saint of the Gutters." She founded an order of nuns called the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India dedicated to serving the poor. Almost 50 years later, the Missionaries of Charity have grown from 12 sisters in India to over 3,000 in 517 missions throughout 100 countries worldwide.
In 1952, she founded the Nirmal Hriday Home for the Dying in a former temple in Calcutta. It was there that they would care for the dying Indians that were found on the streets. Mother would see Jesus in everyone that she met. It didn´t matter whether they were dying of AIDS or Leprosy. She wanted them to be able to die in peace and with dignity. For over 50 years, she worked selflessly helping the poor. That devotion towards the poor won her respect throughout the world and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
Over the last two decades, Mother had suffered from heart problems. She suffered a heart attack during a 1983 visit with Pope John Paul II. She suffered another, and more serious, heart attack in 1989. It was then that a pacemaker was installed. Just last year, she suffered from malaria and was treated for a chest infection.
Mother Teresa was a living saint and she will be greatly missed

Inspiring thoughts by Mother Teresa

We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes.
We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.
Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive & forget. Love one and all.
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Views on Aging
|

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're ? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key
You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . . . you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED ; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone
But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.
You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT !
You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little again. "I'm 100 and a half!"
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away .
We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!

Beginning Today
|
Posted:Mar 15, 2007 6:49 pm
Last Updated:May 11, 2024 11:14 pm 2972 Views
|
Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday.
It is in the past and the past will never change.
Only I can change by choosing to do so.
Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it.
But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first
making the most of today.
Beginning today I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy
of my respect and admiration.
This capable person looking back at me is someone I enjoy spending time
with and someone I would like to get to know better.
Beginning today I will cherish each moment of my life.
I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly
share this gift with others.
I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.
Beginning today I will take a moment to step off the beaten path and to
revel in the mysteries I encounter.
I will face challenges with courage and determination.
I will overcome what barriers there may be which hinder my quest for
growth and self-improvement.
Beginning today I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image,
my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.
Beginning today I walk with renewed faith in human kindness.
Regardless of what has gone before, I believe there is hope
for a brighter and better future.
Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart.
I will welcome new experiences. I will meet new people.
I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else: perfection does not exist in an imperfect world.
But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles.
Beginning today I am responsible for my own happiness and I will do
things that make me happy . . .
admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to my favorite music,
pet a kitten or a puppy, soak in a bubble bath . . .
pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.
Beginning today I will learn something new; I will try something
different; I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer.
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.
I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.
Beginning today. And every day.
Just a thought, but as I often think of you and realize how much God loves you, sometimes I think we need to also love ourselves through His eyes. God Bless.

Don't ever be reluctant to show your feelings when you're happy, give in to it.
When you're not, live with it.
Don't ever be afraid to try to make things better you might be surprised at the results.
Don't ever take the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Don't ever feel threatened by the future take life one day at a time.
Don't ever feel guilty about the past what's done is done. Learn from any mistakes you might have made.
Don't ever feel that you are alone there is always somebody there for you to reach out to.
Don't ever forget that you can achieve so many of the things you can imagine.
It's not as hard as it seems.
Don't ever stop loving don't ever stop believing, don't ever stop dreaming your dreams.
