A Creed For Those Who Have Suffered

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to
obey ....

I asked for health, that I might do great things.
I was given infirmity, that I might do better
things ....

I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
I was given proverty, that I might be wise ....

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of
men.
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of
God.

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things ....

I got nothing I asked for - but everything I had
hoped for.

Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were
answered.

I am, among men, most richly blessed!!!


Live Your Dream

People who say it cannot be
done should not interrupt
those who are doing it.


Love: The One Creative Force

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 and
happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness
in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your
smile, kindness in your warm greeting.


Whatever you are doing, love yourself for doing it.
Whatever you are feeling, love yourself for feeling it.


Making A Difference

Great opportunities to help others seldom
come, but small ones surround us everyday.


Reaching Out to Stranger

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act
is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.


On Love and Kindness

Kindness in words creates confidence
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness
Kindness in giving creates love.


My New Best Friend

Today I met a great new friend
Who knew me right away
it was funny how she understood
All I had to say.

She listened to my problems
She listened to my dreams
We talked about love and life
She'd been there, too, it seems

I never once felt judged by her
She knew just how I felt
She seemed to just accept me
And all the problems I'd been dealt

She didn't interrupt me
Or need to have her say
She just listened very patiently
And didn't go away

I wanted her to understand
How much this meant to me
But as I went to hug her
Somthing startled me

I put my arms in front of me
And went to pull her nearer
And realized that my new best friend
Was nothing but a mirror.

No Small Act of Kindness

If I can stop one Heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one Life of Aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again,
I shall not live in vain.


The most precious possession that ever comes to
a man in this world is a woman's heart.


Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but
their echoes are truly endless.


We are not rich by what we possess but rather
by what we can do without.


Great thoughts speak only to the thoughful mind,
But great actions speak to all mankind.
