"MY ROSE"

Do you find it hard to be gentle?

And patient, and kind, and good?

Are you tempted sometimes, to speak harshly?

Do you ever say more than you should?

Well here is a little suggestion,

That may help you along life's way,

It has taught me to be more careful,

In the things I do and say.

Each morning I pick, in fancy

A beautiful fresh-blown rose,

And wear it, right where I can see it,

Until the day, comes to a close.

And for every little unkind thing

That I think, or do, or say,

I pluck from my beautiful, beautiful rose

A petal, and throw it away.

So one by one the petals go,

And when the day is done,

My Rose is just what I've made it

It's beauty and fragrance gone.

But day after day, I wear my rose,

And pray that sometimes it may be

As lovely and sweet at the close of the day

As when it was taken by me.

"Act as if what you do makes a difference.  It does."

  William James

The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.          Abraham Lincoln

"Take your next vacation today, deep within your heart where an oasis always awaits."  Amanda Latrell

It's ok to say "no" sometimes.

Boogie Through Life!

Don't cry because its over,

smile because it happened.

Pain and Suffering is inevitable

but Misery is optional.

Yesterday is history,

Tomorrow is a mystery,

Today is a gift.

That's why it's called: The Present.

A good exercise for the heart is to

bend down and help another up.

Life is what you make of it...

kinda like Play-Doh

The bubbling brook would lose its song

if you removed the rocks.

Happiness comes through doors

you didn't even know you left open.

Everything is always okay in the end,

if it's not, then it's not the end.

If all my friends jumped off a cliff,

I wouldn't jump with them.

I would be at the bottom to catch them.

A girl on the street is pointing up at the sky.

'Look, an Angel!' she yells.

Passerby laugh, 'You fool, that is only a cloud.'

How wonderful it would be to see Angels

where there  are only clouds. How sad it would be to see clouds where there are Angels.

Here is a test to find whether your

mission on earth is finished:

If you're alive, it isn't.

So be happy!

Don't let anything burst your balloon!

Boogie through life!

Have a real happy day today!

The Concert

When the house lights dimmed and the concert

was about to begin, the mother returned to

her seat and discovered that the child was missing,

Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights

focused on the impressive Steinway on stage.

In horror, the mother saw her little

boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out

"Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star."

At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and

whispered in the boy's ear,

"Don't quit.""Keep playing."

Then, leaning over, Paderewski reached

down with his left hand and began filling

in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached

around to the other side of the child,

and he added a running obbligato.

Together, the old master and the young novice

transformed what could have been a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience.

The audience was  so mesmerized that they couldn't recall what else the great master played.

Only the classic,

" Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."

Perhaps that's the way it is with God.

What we can accomplish on

our own is hardly noteworthy.

We try our best, but the results aren't always

graceful flowing music.  However, with the

hand of the Master, our life's

work can truly be beautiful.

The next time you set out to accomplish great feats,

listen carefully.  You may hear the voice of the

Master, whispering in your ear,      

"Don't quit." "Keep playing."

May you feel His arms around you and

know that His hands are there, helping you

turn your feeble attempts into true masterpieces.

Remember, God doesn't  seem to

call the equipped, rather, He equips  the 'called.'

Life is more accurately measured by the lives you touch than by the things you acquire. So touch someone by passing this little message along.

May God bless you and be with you always!

So many people walk around with a meaningless life.

they seem half asleep, even when they are busy doing things they think are important.

This is because they are chasing the wrong things.

The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others,

devote yourself to your community around you,

and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.

For everything you have missed, you have gained something else;

And for everything you gain, you lose something else.

It is about your outlook towards life. You can either regret or rejoice.
