As One Door Closes ... Another Opens

As I know the Lord is with me
even near the edge of a cliff,
my trust is complete
for He'll catch me when I fall,
or He'll teach me how to fly!

He is able to close doors no man can open
and He opens doors no man can close

Have a blessed day

and remember

You are a blessing...

Good Morning





Laugh about your mistakes,
But, learn from them.
Joke over your troubles,
But, gather strength from them.

Have fun with your difficulties,
But, overcome them.
That's the way to live LIFE.

Have a great day ahead !!

May the love of God shower you all the days of your life!

Have a Lovely Day



Good Morning

Good morning, my blessed friends
I send you joyful happy cheers,
Wishing you great blessings aplenty
To last you through the years.

As I greet you with good morning,
I take time to really stop and think
How wonderful life and friends truly are
Universally alive now, gone in a blink.

My aim is to make the most of all I do
Thank God for the ability that I have
To accomplish what's needed each and every day
Tending cares that often need to be salved.

I want to care for my friends and loved ones
To serve my family with compassion and love
To prepare a table of generosity before us
Filled with blessings from above.

When I say good morning,
Let me look kindly on each person I meet
Knowing that inside each are problems to solve
That might dampen and shadow the greet.

Let me say good morning with meaning,
And mean it with kindness, regard, and scope
Accompany it with a sincere sunshine smile
That raises the spirit of gladness and hope.

Thought for the week

Be nice to others because,
as time goes on,
it will make a difference!




Get the picture???

A Tale Of Two Men

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.
One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.

His bed was next to the room's only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation..

Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.

Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days, weeks and months passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.

She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.

It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.'

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present.'

thanking you because I am alive



Dear Lord:
I want to thank You for what you have already done.
I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards.
I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better.
I'm not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop hurting and talking about me.
I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears.
I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves.
I am not going to wait until the children are back and asleep in their beds.
I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get a new job.
I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief.
I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed.
I am thanking you right now. I am thanking you because I am alive. I am thanking you because I made it through the days of difficulties. I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles.
I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.

I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.

A Sweet Good Morning






    





A Sweet Good Morning


When you start caring about yourself, then you discover someone to love.
When you start caring about others,  then someone discovers you to love.
The fragrance of a flower spreads in the direction of the wind.
The goodness of a person spreads in all directions.
