Prayer of Remembrance In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember them. In the glowing of the wind and in the chill of winter; In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spirng; In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer; In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn; In the begining of the year and when it ends; When we are weary and in the need of strength; When we are lost and sick at heart; When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them. So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.
Serenity Prayer "God grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change; COURAGE to change the things I can; and WISDOM to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next." -Amen
IF I KNEW If I knew it would be the last time That I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time,! I could spare an extra minute to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will l always be another day to say "I love you," And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do?" But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, That you didn! 't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out t o be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay." And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
A Keeper - Author unknown Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friend tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress, lawn mower in one hand or dish-towel in the other. It was the time for fixing things. A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All the re-fixing, eating, renewing, I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more. But then my mother died, and on that clear summer's night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more. Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away... never to return. So... while we have it... it's best we love it.... and care for it.. and fix it when it's broken....... and heal it when it's sick. This is true....for marriage.....and old cars...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 are worth it. Some things we keep. Like a best friend that moved away or a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special..... and so, we keep them close! I received this from someone who thinks I am a 'keeper', so I've sent it to the people! I think of in the same way.. Now it's your turn to send this to those people that are "keepers" in your life. Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Keep them close!
TEN THINGS GOD WON'T ASK ON THAT DAY. 1...God won't ask what kind of car you drove. He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation. 2...God won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home. 3...God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask how many you helped to clothe. 4...God won't ask what your highest salary was. He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it. 5...God won't ask what your job title was. He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability. 6...God won't ask how many friends you had. He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend. 7...God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, He'll ask how you treated your neighbors. 8...God won't ask about the color of your skin, He'l! l ask about the content of your character. 9...God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation. He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell. 10...God won't have to ask how many people you forwarded this to, He already knows your decision "You know what really offers you satisfaction? Offering others what you have to give."
