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.
