From Carolyn
THE KISS OF THE SUN FOR A PARDON,
THE SONG OF A BIRD FOR MIRTH,
ONE IS NEARER TO GODS HEART IN A GARDEN
THAN ANYPLACE ELSE ON EARTH.WHEN THE GREAT SCORER COMES TO WRITE AGAINST YOUR NAME,
HE WRITES NOT WHAT YOU WON OR LOST BUT HOW YOU PLAYED THE GAME.
ALMOST ANY RAINBOW
FINDS A PLACE TO START
IN A RAIN STAINED HEAVEN
OR A TEAR STAINED HEART.(The above are quotes from my friend Carolyn.
from an old scrapbook of her Moms.)I just found this one.LORD, HELP ME TO REMEMBER THAT NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME TODAY,
THAT YOU AND I TOGETHER CAN'T HANDLE.The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
From Carolyn
Christmas is weird.
It's the only time of year when we love to sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of our socks.Sent to me in e-mailWe are born naked, wet, and hungary.
Then things get worse.""From "THE DUKE.."One rule "The Duke" surely knew: "Don't squat with your spurs on!"From ME"We only have today, we are not promised tomorrow.""There are only two ways to live your life:
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle!"
~AlbertEinstein~
From MeWhen you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling!
Live your life so that when you die,
you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying!Faith and fear are the two sides of a seesaw.
When faith rises, fear falls.
When fear rises, faith falls.
"If sometimes you feel yourself little, useless, offended and depressed,
always remember that you were once the fastest and most victorious sperm out of hundreds of millions!".
From my friend, Myrt
I think of you so often;
Though I don't always let you know.
Sometime in my rush to keep up with the demands of everyday life,
I forget how much I need to be in touch with you,
to say "Hi, How are you?"
and remind you that I always care about you;
Today was like that.
TOOLS FOR LIFEFrom Carolyn
A person needs only two tools for any stuation in life:WD-40 and duct tape.
If it doesn't move and it should,use WD-40.
If it moves and shouldn't,
use the tape.
"IF GOD LEADS YOU TO IT~HE WILL SEE YOU THROUGH IT!!"
~"ONLY ONCE OR TWICE, A SERIOUS OPPORTUNITY COMES ALONG~IS IT ONCE OR TWICE FOR YOU ??"~
This next one is from my friend Barbara.
"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."1 MINUTE
They say it takes a minute to find a special person,
an hour to appreciate them,
a day to love them,
but then an entire life to forget them.Distance and time may separate us but friendship and memories won't.
Just A Funny
A couple were dining out one evening, when the wife noticed a familiar face at the restaurant's bar.
'Honey,' she said as she pointed the guy out,
'I know that guy at the bar and he has been drinking like that since I left him seven years ago!'
Her husband quickly replied,
'That's silly, no one celebrates that long?!'B-I-B-L-E
A father was approached by his small son who proudly said, "I know what the Bible means!"
His father smiled and replied," What do you mean, you "know" what the Bible means?"
The son replied, "I do know!"
"Okay," said his father. "So, Son, what does the Bible mean?" "That's easy, Daddy. It stands for 'Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.'"
From Carolyn"Recipe For Happiness"
Carolyn I HAVE A LITTLE RECIPE THAT ISN'T HARD TO MAKE, BUT YOU MUST ALWAYS START AS SOON AS YOU AWAKE. TAKE A GREAT BIG MIXING BOWL AND FILL IT WITH A SMILE. MIX HALF A CUP OF SUNSHINE WITH GOOD DEEDS TO LAST A WHILE. ADD A PINCH OF WORK AND PLAY, A PINCH OF THOUGHTFULNESS AND CARE, BUT DON'T BAKE IT IN THE OVEN, JUST SPREAD IT AROUND EVERYWHERE.
"QUOTE"
God, I say that I believe that all people are created equal.
Encourage me to act out my belief.
Amen
