You must never grow weary of doing what is right, brothers.(New American Bible, 1983) But you, brothers, do not be remiss in doing good.(The New American Bible with Revised New Testament, 1970) Brothers and sisters, do not be weary in doing what is right.(New Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition, 1993) > The Bible in 50 Words God made Adam bit Noah arked Abraham split Joseph ruled Jacob fooled Bush talked Moses balked Pharaoh plagued People walked Sea divided Tablets guided Promise landed Saul freaked David peeked Prophets warned Jesus born God walked Love talked Anger crucified Hope died Love rose Spirit flamed Word spread God remained. Just a few bits of philosophy and learning from different ages. I've learned that I like my teacher because she cries when we sing "Silent Night." Age 6 I've learned that you can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk. Age 7 I've learned that when I wave to people in the country, they stop what they are doing and wave back. Age 9 I've learned that just when I get my room the way I like it, Mom makes me clean it up. Age 13 I've learned that if you want to cheer yourself up, you should try cheering someone else up. Age 14 I've learned that although it's hard to admit it, I'm secretly glad my parents are strict with me. Age 15 I've learned that silent company is often more healing than words of advice. Age 24 I've learned that brushing my child's hair is one of life's great pleasures. Age 26 I've learned that wherever I go, the worlds worst drivers have followed me there. Age 29 I've learned that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it. Age 39 I've learned that there are people who love you dearly but just don't know how to show it. Age 41 I've learned that you can make someone's day by simply sending them a little card. Age 44 I've learned that the greater a person's sense of guilt, the greater his need to cast blame on others. Age 46 I've learned that children and grandparents are natural allies. Age 47 I've learned that singing "Amazing Grace" can lift my spirits for hours. Age 49 I've learned that motel mattresses are better on the side away from the phone. Age 50 I've learned that you can tell a lot about a man by the way he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. Age 52 I've learned that keeping a vegetable garden is worth a medicine cabinet full of pills. Age 52 I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you miss them terribly after they die. Age 53 I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. Age 58 I've learned that if you want to do something positive for your children, try to improve your marriage. Age 61 I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. Age 62 I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back. Age 64 I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on your family, the needs of others, your work, meeting new people, and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you. Age 65 I've learned that whenever I decide something with kindness, I usually make the right decision. Age 66 I've learned that everyone can use a prayer. Age 72 I've learned that it pays to believe in miracles. And to tell the truth, I've seen several. Age 73 I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. Age 82 I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch-holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. Age 85 I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. Age 92 LIFE LESSONS LEARNED FROM A DOG 1. If you stare at someone long enough, eventually you'll get what you want. 2. Don't go out without ID. 3. Be direct with people; let them know exactly how you feel by piddling on their shoes. 4. Be aware of when to hold your tongue, and when to use it. 5. Leave room in your schedule for a good nap. 6. Always give people a friendly greeting. A cold nose in the crotch is most effective. 7. When you do something wrong, always take responsibility (as soon as you're dragged shamefully out from under the bed). 8. If it's not wet and sloppy, it's not a real kiss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > > > > INSTRUCTIONS FOR A WONDERFUL, FULFILLING LIFE > > > > 1.

Home Page Bare foot and dirty, the girl just sat and watched the people go by.  She never tried to speak, she never said a word. Many people passed but never did one person stop. Just so happens the next day I decided to go back to  the park, curious if  the little girl would still be there. Right in the very spot as she was yesterday she sat perched on high, with the saddest look in her eyes. Today I was to make my own move and walk over to the little girl. As we all  know a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play  alone. As I began walking towards her I could see the back of the little girl's dress indicated a deformity. I figured that was the reason the people just passed by and made no effort to help. As I got closer, the little girl slightly lowered her eyes to avoid  my intent stare.  I could see the shape of her back more clearly. It was grotesquely shaped in a humped over form.  I smiled to let her know  it was OK, I was there to help, to talk.  I sat down beside her and said a simple Hello.  The little girl acted shocked and stammered a hi after a long stare into my  eyes. I smiled and she shyly smiled back. We talked 'til darkness fell and  the park was completely empty. Everyone was gone and we were alone.  I asked the girl why she was so sad.  The little girl looked at me and with  a sad face said "Because I'm different."  I immediately said "that you are!"  and smiled.  The little girl acted even sadder, she said, "I know." "Little girl," I said, "you remind me of an angel, sweet and innocent."  She looked at me and smiled, slowly she stood to her feet, and said, "Really?" "Yes, ma'am, you're like a little guardian angel sent to watch over all those people walking by." She nodded her head yes and smiled, and with that she spread her wings and said, "I am."I'm your guardian angel," >with a twinkle in her eye. I was speechless, sure I was seeing things.   She said, "For once you thought of someone other than yourself, my job here is done." Immediately I stood to my feet and said, "Wait, so why did no one stop to help an angel?"  She looked at me and smiled, "You're the only one who could see me."    And She was gone. So, when you think you're all you have, remember, your angel is always watching over you.  Every one of your friends is an angel in their own way!
