Promise To Stay In Touch

I couldn't find the right words
Nothing seemed to rhyme
To write something for you all
I think it will take time

Because when you have friends
That are very hard to find
There's so much to say
Because you make everything alright

So I will tell you right now
exactly what I need to say
To show you how much I appreciate
You being there everyday

You're worth more than anyone
even a million pounds
Because you always know what to say
When I am feeling down

You make me smile big smiles
And my days so very bright
And when I lose my way
You find me in the night

I sometimes wish I could explain
How much you mean to me
But its just not possible
To list a billion things

So I just wanted to say
I love you so so much
And I hope you never leave me
Promise to stay in touch

Living Together

During the Ice Age many animals died because of the cold. Seeing this situation, the porcupines decided to group together, so they wrapped up well & protected one another. But they hurt one another with their sharp spines, & so then they decided to stay apart from one another . They started to freeze to death again. So they had to make a choice : either they vanished from the face of the earth or they accepted their neighbours thorns.

They wisely decided to stay together again. They learned to live with the small wounds that a very close relationship could cause, because the most important thing was the warmth given by the other.

And in the end they survived.

-Paulo Coelho

What Is Religion?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 19:58:00 -0800

Religion is being honest seven days in the week,
Expressed in thought and action, and in the words you speak.

It is loving God and neighbor, and serving them each day;
It’s in the way and manner, and not in the times you pray.
It is treating others squarely, and living the Golden Rule,
Learning all the lessons given in life’s great school.

-unknown

Inspirational Thoughts

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 21:56:00 -0800

“God many times answers our prayers not by bringing down his will to ours, but by lifting us up to himself. We grow strong, so as we need no longer cry for relief. We can bear the heavy load without asking to have it lightened. We can keep the sorrow now and endure it. We can go on in quiet peace without the new blessing which we thought necessary. We have not been saved from the battle we shrank so from entering but we have sought and have gained the victory. Is not victoriousness in conflict better than being freed from the struggle? Is not peace in the midst of the storm and the strife better than to be lifted altogether over the strife?”

-Dr. J. R. Miller
