On this day a Special Treasure

On this day a Special Treasure

for Kristi

The world received its greatest gift
The day you were born

For on that auspicious day
As a most precious bouquet
gift wrapped in a bundle of joy
arrived someone who loves, who care
And no effort does she ever spare
when she notice someone's need and fill it
And because of her the spark of hope is lit

Who lifts others up and beyond measure encourage
Who dispenses energy and care in the largest dosage
Someone who touches each life that she does enter
And in this she has become my absolute mentor
Someone who makes a difference in this world

There's something I wish you to know
As ripples of kindness outward flow
as each person blessed by your touch
in turn touches another, and as such
many, many more blessings continues to flow

My wish is for your birthday
to become a universal holiday
for you are a priceless treasure

My wish for you is
for the love that you have shown so many
to return to you multiplied

My wish for you is
that each of these special days
are the happiest of all
and many, many more
so others may have time
to appreciate you
as much as I do.

Life's essential little coping skills

Sleep as much as you can  ....


Read books that you enjoy...


Play with simple things...


Do whatever you want -- Whenever you want...


Look for affection when you need it...


Get serious once in a while...


Forget about diets...


Show some affection...


Get angry once in a while....


Change your looks...


Above all, be happy,

Regardless of what   Your challenges may be...



Have a great life!



May your troubles be less,
Your blessings more,
And may only happiness
Enter through the door of your existence.  

A Story to live by

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She
hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always
there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see
the world, I will marry you.'

One day,
someone donated a pair of eyes to her.. When the bandages
came off, she was able to see everything, including her
boyfriend.


He asked
her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The
girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The
sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected
that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life
led her to refuse to marry him.

Her
boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her
saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before
they were yours, they were mine.'




This is
how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who
was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a Gift

Today
before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't
speak.


Before
you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone
who has nothing to eat.


Before
you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone
who's crying out to GOD for a companion.


Today
before you complain about life - Think of someone who died
too early on this earth.


Before
you complain about your children - Think of someone who
desires children but they're barren.


Before
you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or
sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.


Before
whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who
walks the same distance with their feet.


And when
you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your
job.


But
before you think of pointing the finger or condemning
another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.


And when
depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on
your face and think: you're alive and still
around.

My Wish For You ...

Have a Beautiful Day

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...

Thought for the week

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



Get the picture???

Good Morning

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.

Have a Blessed Day!!!

Always Remember How Wonderfully You Have Received

One More Day In Your LIFE

Not Because U Need It...

But Because SOMEONE Else NEEDS U....

I wish you a Colourful day



Just for you, to brighten up your day !! !

May your day be filled with...


Smiles,   


Happiness, 


Laughter, 


Surprises, 


And Love! 


Have a Fabulous DAY !!!
WITH LOTS OF HUGS

Look At The Brighter Side

Seize the day

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.

Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
'Tomorrow' I say! 'I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him.'
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
'Here's a telegram sir,' 'Jim died today.'
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.

Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.

Seize the day. Never have regrets.

And most importantly, stay close to your friends
and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today.

Thank you for being a special part of my life

One day a mother died.

And on that clear, cold morning,
in the warmth of her bedroom,
the daughter was struck with
the pain of learning that sometimes
there isn't any more.

No more hugs,
no more lucky moments to celebrate together,
no more phone calls just to chat,
No more 'just one minute'

Sometimes, what we care about the most goes away.
never to return before we can say good-bye,
Say 'I Love You.'

So while we have it . . it's best we love it . .
And care for it and fix it when it's broken
and take good care of it when it's sick.

This is true for that special person in your life,
And friendships;
And children with bad report cards;
And dogs with bad hips;
And aging parents and grandparents

We keep them because they are worth it,
Because we cherish them!

Some things we keep --
like a best friend who moved away
or a classmate we grew up with.
There are just some things that
make us happy, No matter what..

Life is important,
and so are the people we know
And so, we keep them close!

Thank you very much for
being a special part of my life.

Be kinder than necessary,
For everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle

45 life lessons and 5 to grow on

Regina Brett's 45 life lessons and 5 to grow on

To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me.

It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolls over to 50 this week, so here's an update:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.
17. You can get through anything if you stay put in today.
18. A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Overprepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this matter?"
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
36. Growing old beats the alternative - dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.
38. Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
42. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
43. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
44. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
45. The best is yet to come.
46. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
47. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
48. If you don't ask, you don't get.
49. Yield.
50. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

There comes a point in your life when you realize

There comes a point in your life when you realize:

Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won't anymore...
And who always will..

So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future..
Give these flowers to everyone you don't want to lose in 2009, Including me, if that's what is in your heart.

Believe

angels come into our life

Sometimes angels come into our life disguised as people.

All it takes are open eyes and ears
and the willingness to see miracles.

They are everywhere.

Having friends that inspire us to rise to higher,  And greater levels is an awesome gift.

Surround yourself with people that inspire you

To do better and inspire your friends as well.

It is a profound truth that the people we hang out with
will shape the path that we travel.

''The Lord is Gracious'' My dear friend Johannes (smiling)

Blessings and love always binki x
