Think about this. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.
1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't
like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look behind yourself.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
So...If you are a loving friend, send this to everyone, including the one
that sent it to you. If you get it back, they really do love You.
NEVER HAVE REGRETS!!!!

| GOD'S WILL ONLY | 2/28/2004 | Who says of his father and mother,"I have not seen them",Nor did he acknowledge his brothers,Or know his own children;For they have observed Your word,And kept Your covenant.
Bless his substance,Lord,And accept the work of his hands;Strike the loins of those who rise against him,And of those who hate him,that they rise not again!
Assuredly,I say to you,there is no one who has left house or parents or wife or children,for the sake of Jesus,who shall not receive many times more in this present time! | FEW ARE CHOSEN |

| Life | 2/19/2004 | "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in

| More on ATTITUDE.. | 2/17/2004 | The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
ATTITUDE, is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, than success, than what other people think, say or do.
ATTITUDE, is more important than appearance, gifts or skills. It will make or break a company, church or home.
The remarkable thing is that we have a choice everyday regarding the ATTITUDE we will embrace for the day. Our past we cannot change. We cannot change the fact that people will act a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing that we can do is play the string that we have, and that is ATTITUDE.
I'm convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it...And so it is with you.. | |
| spud is really hurt@! | 2/17/2004 | | |
| Attitude | 2/16/2004 | Life is an attitude . . . have a good one! | Ms Linnda |
| May this bring you encouragement! | 2/12/2004 | Don't spend major time with minor people. If there are people in your life that continually disappoint you, break promises, stomp on your dreams, too judgmental, have different values and don't have your back during difficult times...that is not a friend.
To have a friend, be a friend. Sometimes in life as you grow, your friends will either grow or go. Surround yourself with people who reflect values, goals interests and lifestyle.
When I think of any of my successes, I am thankful to GOD from whom all blessings flow, and to my family and friends that enrich my life.
Over the years my phone book has changed because I changed for the better. At first you think you're going to be alone, but after a while new people show up in your life that make your life so much sweeter and easier to endure.
Remember what your elders used to say, "Birds of a feather flock together. If you're an eagle, don't hang around chickens:
Chickens Can't Fly!
I love the Lord and thank Him for all that he does in my life, therefore, I'm passing this on. Yes I do love Jesus. He is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I will be nothing.
Without Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things. Phil 4:13
So Be Positive - Be Progressive - Take the time to make a positive difference in someone's life.
Walk by faith, Not by sight and always be ready, willing and able to Receive God's blessings.

| It is easy to get discouraged | 2/12/2004 | It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it:
You say: "It's impossible" God says: All things are possible (Luke 18:27)
You say: "I'm too tired" God says: ! I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28-30)
You say: "Nobody really loves me" God says: I love you (John 3:16 & John 3:34)
You say: "I can't go on" God says: My grace is sufficient (II Corinthians12:9 & Psalm 91:15)
You say: "I can't figure things out" God says: I will direct your steps (Proverbs 3:5-6)
You say: "I can't do it" God says: You can do all things (Philippians 4:13)
You say: "I'm not able" God says: I am able (II Corinthians 9:8)
You say: "It's not worth it" God says: It will be worth it (Roman 8:28)
You say: "I can't forgive myself" God says: I Forgive you (I John 1:9 & Romans 8:1)
You say: "I can't manage" God says: I will supply all your needs
(Philippians 4:19)
You say: "I'm afraid" God says: I have not given you a spirit of fear (IITimothy 1:7)
You say: "I'm always worried and frustrated" God says: Cast all your cares on ME (I Peter 5:7)
You say: "I don't have enough faith" God says: I've given everyone a measure of faith (Romans 12:3)
You say: "I'm not smart enough" God says: I give you wisdom (I Corinthians 1:30)
You say: "I feel all alone" God says: I will never leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)

| YOUR LOVE | 2/11/2004 | A love that gets me where I wanna be
When life's struggle cause me tears
When life's struggle cause me pain
When life's struggle cause me such grave despairs
When life's struggle cause me to momentarily give-up
A love that gets me where I wanna be
Sometimes it's the more thought of our shared past
Sometimes it's a needed phone call
Sometimes it's the way you look at me, complimenting
Sometimes it's only quiet time sitting across the room
A love that gets me where I wanna be
This is not a seasonal love we share
This is not a love either will ever forget
This is not a love others can understand
This is not a love either wants to lose
A love that gets me where I wanna be
In my sad times I want you near
In my happy times I want you near
In my confused times I want you near
In my fearful times I want you near
A love that gets me where I wanna be. | Yvonne L. Estes |

| Dieting... | 2/7/2004 | QUESTION OF THE DAY:

Job said, "I have treasured the words f God's mouth more than my daily bread.
(Job 23:12)
| MeltMeSlowLy |
| I Believe.... | 2/7/2004 | I believe-
that we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.
I believe-
that no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while and
you must forgive them for that.
I believe-
that true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I believe-
that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.
I believe-
that it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be
I believe-
that you should always leave loved ones
with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I believe-
that you can keep going
long after you can't.
I believe-
that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.
I believe-
that either you control your attitude
or it controls you.
I believe-
that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first,
the passion fades and there had
better be something else to take its place.
I believe-
that heroes are the people who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I believe-
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I believe-
that my best friend and I! can do anything
or nothing and have the best time.
I believe-
that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down,
will be the ones to help you get back up.
I believe-
that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I believe-
that just because someone doesn't love
you the way you want them to doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have.
I believe-
that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had
and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.
I believe-
that it isn't always enough to be
forgiven by others. Sometimes you
have to learn to forgive yourself.
I believe-
that no matter how bad your
heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I believe-
that our background and circumstances may have influenced
who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I believe-
that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't
love each other And just because they don't argue, it doesn't
mean they do.
I believe-
that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life forever.
I believe-
that two people can look at the exact
same thing and see something totally different.
I believe-
that your life can be changed in a matter of hours
by people who don't even know you.
I ! believe-
that even when you think you have no more to give,
when a friend cries out to you. You will find the strength to help.
I believe-
that credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.
I believe-
that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
