NOTE: EVEN AS YOU MOVE YOUR CURSOR YOU WILL
Think Of Those
" WHO LOVE YOU "
If someone should
hurt you
and say a thing unkind,
Remember what I write to you,
and keep these thoughts in mind.
For everyone that
makes you cry,
there are three to make you smile,
And a smile will last for a long,
long time, but a tear just a little while.
Don't let someone
who hates the world
cause you to hate it too,
Behind the clouds is a golden sun,
and a sky that's full of blue.
If someone said a
thing that's cruel,
don't let it get to you,
Your achievements are greatly numbered,
and your faults are very few.
So if a certain
person
should act a certain way,
Think of those who love you.
And don't let it spoil your day!

" It’s
a Wonderful World "
In
spite of the fact
We complain and lament,
And view this old world
With much discontent,
Deploring conditions
And grumbling because
There's so much injustice
And so many flaws ...
It's a wonderful world,
And it's people like you ...
Who make it that way
By the things that they do.
For
a warm, ready smile,
Or a kind, thoughtful deed,
Or a hand outstretched
In an hour of need
Can change our whole outlook
And make the world bright,
Where a minute before,
Just nothing seemed right.
It's
a wonderful world
And it always will be,
If we keep our eyes open
And focused to see ...
The wonderful things
Man is capable of
When he opens his heart
To God and His love.

" WHEN TROUBLE COMES "
When
you're troubled and worried
and sick at heart
And your plans are upset
and your world falls apart,
Remember God's ready and waiting to share
The burdens you find
much too heavy to bear---
so with faith, "LET GO and "LET GOD" lead
the way
into a brighter and less-troubled day.

" SOMEONE CARES "
Someone cares and always will,
The world forgets but God loves you still,
You cannot go beyond His love
No matter what you're guilty of
For God forgives until the end,
He is your faithful, loyal friend,
And though you try to hide your face
There is no shelter any place
That can escape His watchful eye,
For on the earth and in the sky
He's ever present and always there
To take you in His tender care
And bind the wounds and mend the breaks
When all the world around forsakes...
Someone cares and loves you still
And God is the someone who always will.

" Things To Be
Thankful For..... "
The mess to clean after a party...
because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
The taxes I pay...
because it means that I'm employed.
The clothes that fit a little too snug...
because it means I have enough to eat.
My shadow who watches me work...
because it means I am out in the sunshine.
A lawn that needs mowing,
windows that need cleaning
and gutters that need fixing...
because it means I have a home.
All the complaining I hear about our government...
because it means we have freedom of speech.
The space I find at the far end of the parking lot...
because it means I am capable of walking.
My huge heating bill...
because it means I am warm.
The lady behind me in church who sings off key...
because it means that I can hear.
The piles of laundry and ironing...
because it means I have clothes to wear.
Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day...
because it means I have been productive.
The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours...
because it means that I'm alive.

" GOD KNOWS BEST "
Our Father knows what's best for us,
So why should we complain...
We always want the sunshine,
But He knows there must be rain.
We love the sound of laughter
And the merriment of cheer;
But our hearts would lose their tenderness
If we never shed a tear.
Our Father tests us often
With suffering and with sorrow;
He tests us, not to punish us,
But to help us meet tomorrow.
For growing trees are strengthened
When they withstand the storm;
And the sharp cut of the chisel
Gives the marble grace and form.
God never hurts us needlessly,
And He never wastes our pain;
For every loss He sends to us
Is followed by rich gain.
And when we count the blessings
That God has so freely sent;
We will find no cause for murmuring
and no time to lament.
For our Father loves His children
And to Him all things are plain;
So He never sends us pleasure
When the soul's deep need is pain.
So whenever we are troubled,
And when everything goes wrong,
It is just God working in us
To make our spirits strong.

" LIFE IS A MIRACLE "
Life
is a Miracle
don't let it slip away,
Open your heart to others
give of yourself each day.
See the Beauty in everyone
regardless of where they've been,
Some have a difficult journey
and really need a friend.
Share your talents
Listen with your heart.
Do the things you dream about
but don't have time to start.
Pick a bouquet of flowers
show someone that you care,
Be gracious and forgiving
Life is never fair.
Hold on to your courage
you may need it down the road,
We all have a cross to bear
it could be a heavy load.
If you practice all these things
no matter where you roam,
You may find both sun and rain
but you'll never feel alone.

" WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME "
When tomorrow
starts without me
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.
I know how much
you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time you think of me
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name
and took me by the hand
and said my place was ready
in heaven far above
and that I would have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.
As I walked
through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from his great golden throne,
He said "This is eternity, and all I've promised
you."
Today my life on Earth is past
but here it starts anew.
I promise no
tomorrow
but today will always last,
and since each day is the same day
there's no longing for the past.
So won't you take my hand, and share my life with me?
When tomorrow starts without me
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

" WHAT
GOD HAS PROMISED "
God has not promised skies always blue,
Flower strewn pathways all our lives through,
God has not promised sun without rain,
Joy with sorrow, peace without pain,
But God has promised strength for the day,
Rest for the laborer,
Light on the way,
Grace for the trial,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love.

Think On
" God’s Rainbow "
The
falling rain dissolves into mist
And the thunder begins to die;
As the sporadic lightning fades,
An arch of colors pours from the sky
Rainbows
appear after mighty storms
When things look their worst;
Just when the skies are darkest
gray,
Out of heaven does the rainbow
burst.
God
first sent the rainbow to Noah
As a sign that His word is true;
The rainbow's eternal message
Still speaks to me and you.
The
rainbow is a sign of God's promise
That He will guide us through any
storm;
That He will ease all our troubles
No matter what their form.
When
you feel battered by life's storms
And you are filled with doubt and
dismay,
Just remember God's rainbow is
coming
For it's blessing ... you only have
to pray

Think On Your
" ALL WEATHER FRIENDS "
There
are those who pass
Like ships in the night
Who meet for a moment
Then sail out of sight
With never a backwards
Glance of regret
Folks we know briefly
And then quickly forget
Then there are those
Who sail together
Through quiet waters
And stormy weather
Helping each other
Through joy and strife
And they are the ones
That give meaning to life.
Thank you for sailing the quiet waters
and stormy weather with me.
