LOVE IS ETERNALOnce you have learned to love;
who you are, what you do,
and those around you,
you will have truly learned to live.
Search for love, for it is the most important ingredient of life.
Without it, you life will echo emptiness.
With it, your life will vibrate with warmth and meaning.
Even during any hardship, love will shine through.
To love abundantly is to live abundantly.
To love forever is to live forever.

Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve.
You don't have to have a college degree to serve.
You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve.
You only need a heart full of grace.
A soul generated by love.
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ~
Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house.
Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor...
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better or happier.
Be the living statement of God’s kindness;
kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes,
kindness in your smile; kindness in your warm greeting.
~ Mother Teresa ~
My well meant THANK YOU
to PATTY for this beautiful Poem by Mother Theresa.
Anyway
People are often unreasonable,
illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
you will win some false friends
and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
~ Poem By: Mother Teresa ~
Go out into the world today and love all the people you meet.
Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people.
~ Mother Teresa ~
We look forward to the time
when the power of love will replace the love of power.
Then will our world know the blessing of peace.
~ William Ewart Gladstone ~
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer,
no disease
that enough love will not heal,
no door that enough love will not bridge,
no wall that enough love will not throw down,
no sin that enough love will not redeem...
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the
trouble,
how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great
the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough, you could be the happiest and most powerful
being in the world...
~ Emmet Fox ~
You will find as you look back upon your life
that the moments when you have truly lived
are the moments when you have done things
in the spirit of love.
~ Henry Drummond ~
Happiness is reflective,
like the light of heaven.
~ Washington Irving ~

MAYBE
Maybe God wanted us to meet the wrong people before meeting the right
one
so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know
how to be
grateful for that gift.
~~~~
Maybe when the door of happiness closes, another opens,
but often times we
look so long at the closed door
that we don't see the one which has been
opened for us.
~~~~
Maybe the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and
swing with,
never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the
best conversation you've ever had.
~~~~
Maybe it is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it,
but
it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it
arrives.
~~~~
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love
you back.
Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their
heart;
but if it does not, be content it grew in yours.
~~~~
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
an hour to like
someone, and a day to love someone,
but it takes a lifetime to forget
someone.
~~~~
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that
fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile
because it takes only a
smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart
smile.
~~~~
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much
that you just
want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.
~~~~
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you
want to be,
because you have only one life and one chance to do all the
things you want to do.
~~~~
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make
you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human,
enough hope to make you
happy.
~~~~
Always put yourself in other's shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you, it
probably hurts the other person, too.
~~~~
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have
searched, and those who have tried,
for only they can appreciate the
importance of people who have touched their lives.
~~~~
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.
~~~~
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past,
you
can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and
heartaches.

Please send this message to those people who mean something to you,
to
those who have touched your life in one way or another,
to those who make
you smile when you really need it,
to those that make you see the brighter
side of things when you are really down,
to those who you want to let them
know that you appreciate their friendship.
Have a great day!
