PRAYERGive me the grace Heavenly Father to look at every

crisis and every trial in my life as an opportunity for me to see the power of your strength and your deep love in my times of weakness.

Give me the faith and the hope to believe that in every crisis and trial..You are with me always!

Where does a child first learn about God, Love, Honesty, Decency and Character? It is in the home, through the lives of his parents.

Harold J. Sala

Lord, keep me involves in discussions, which are an exchange of knowledge; but keep me from arguments, which are an exchange of ignorance.

John S. Morgan & J. R. Philip

Every sacrifice has a fruitful reward, every failure has a second chance…We only have to be strong by God’s grace to persevere in the tests of life.

The unthankful heart…discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings.

Henry Ward Beecher

What is worth most is often valued least.

Each time you are honest and conduct yourself with honesty, a success force will drive you toward greater success. Each time you lie, there are strong forces pushing you toward failure.

Joseph Sugar man

Why should I be afraid of tomorrow when I have seen yesterday and I love today?

If you have a good heart, you can never let a good person down.

If you do your best, you will succeed and be valued.Reader’s Digest

I don’t have to earn my right to be here. The quality I have as a unique human being gives me the right to be here.

Reader’s Digest

What comes around goes around.

The longer you wait for something, the more you appreciate it when you get it, because anything worth having is definitely something worth waiting.

Never limit yourself when it comes to happiness. Learn how to take risks, because life is so much beautiful outside the comfort zone. Let go of the things that make you sad. Apologize when necessary. Life is short to be wasted on regrets. Be humble. Reach for the stars. Keep on achieving those dreams.

We always wait for the right time, not knowing that each time is right. We keep looking forward for tomorrow but really, there’s no better time to be happy but now. Happiness can’t be found at the end of the road. It’s the journey itself that matters.

True happiness is not about a big laugh or tears of joy. It’s about a simple smile whenever you remember someone who made your life simply but completely happy.

Some lessons are best learned through pain. Sometimes our visions clear only after our eyes are washed with tears. Sometimes, we have to be broken so we can be whole again. Remember, “If God made the day to be perfect, He wouldn’t have invented tomorrow.

Never expect, never assume, because it’s better to feel surprised than to feel disappointed.

Life is hard but God provides. God is unpredictable but God guides. Life is unfair but God cares. Life is always a challenge but God sustains.

I’m only a person who is willing to give you the best of what I can be, but I’m not a perfect person so I hope you can appreciate the things that I can only give. Like being as simple as I am.

Gazing idly into the future and dreaming about it, instead of making the best of the present.

“A TIME FOR EVERYTHING”

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven;

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is

planted;A time to kill and a time to heal, a time to

break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones; and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace

and a time to refrain from embracing;A time to get, and a time to lose, a time to

keep, and a time to cast away; A time to tear, and a time to sow; a time to

keep silence, and a time to speak;A time to love, and a time to hate; a time to

war, and a time of peace…

God has put everything beautiful in it’s time; also He has put eternity in men’s hearts, so that no man can find out the work that God does from the beginning to the end.

MAYBE SOMEDAY….

I don’t mean to make life harder for you, but I

know that I sometimes (I mean…maybe

always) do.

Maybe someday I’ll get better at dealing with

the problems and avoiding the rough spots

along the paths of our lives.

Maybe someday we’ll both have more peace

& quite time, more serenity and sunshine,

more you & me, and fewer outside

complications taking up our time.

Maybe someday I’ll be able to make it easier

for you- that’s one of the things in my life and

within my heart- that I’d like to be able to do…

and that’s …maybe someday.

First letter of Paul to the CorinthiansI may be able to speak the languages of men and even

of angels, but if I have no Love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell. I may have the gift of inspired preaching, I may have all the knowledge and understand all secrets, I may have all the faith needed to move mountains but if I have no Love, I am nothing. I may give away everything I have, and even give up my body to be burned- but if I have no Love this does me no good.

LOVE is patient and kind, it is not jealous or conceited or proud.

Love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable. LOVE does not keep a record of wrongs.

LOVE is not happy with evil but is happy with the truth. LOVE is never gives up and its faith, hope, and

patience never fail.LOVE is eternal.

Reality check:People who criticize a lot are insecure.

People who complain a lot seldom make actions.People who insult a lot are commonly ugly.

People who flirt a lot, lacks love and attention.People, who gossip a lot, never had true friends.

On the other hand,

People who are successful are usually those who once weak and poor.

People who achieve a lot got many inspirations. People who stick to one lover, experience true love and the

people who are happy are always kind to others.Behind every personality lie a positive and a negative

experience. Hope you reflect on the positive ones.

Carry a heart that never hates, carry a smile that never fades, carry a touch that never hurts and always carry a friendship that lasts

forever.

Great friendship is about two main things: first is to find out the similarities and second is to respect the differences.

Happy people are not necessary does who have no problem. They are those who have learned to live with things that are less than

perfect.

Do you believe that there are no accidents in life? Everything happens for a reason. Every people we meet will have a role in our lives be it small or big. Some will hurt and make us cry to become stronger; some will simply inspire and love us to make us happy, whole and complete. Some will teach us lessons not to change us

but for us to realize our mistakes and to help us grow and make us a better person.

People change usually; they change into everything they said they won’t be.

“You deserve a day where worries don’t get in the way of anything, a day where even if some people are insensitive or unkind, you’re not going to mind because the blessings you receive are far better

than the burdens you experience.”

If you were to make the biggest decision in your life, would you rather be happy but wrong? Or sad but right? Think of it.

Reader’s Digest

Pretending to be strong is a brave thing to do. But know what? Crying is braver, why? Because not everyone can accept the fact

that not all things are meant for us.

Be thankful that sunrises and sunsets are free, or else we couldn’t afford them. Be thankful that behind every storm is surely the rainbow of hope and future sunshine. Be thankful for mistakes

because life would be boring if we are all perfect. Be thankful for

stress so that we can be reminded to relax and balance our life. Have a thousand reasons to be thankful to God.

Having you as part of my life reminds me that loving my friends is never a waste of time so I always thank God for the friendship we

are sharing and for the years to come.

A nice wake up is always a gift from God. Let us turn this gift into a blessing by our act of sharing and to you I share a blessed morning.

God bless.

Lord, as I put my hope and trust in you, give me the wisdom to know when to hold on, when to let go and when to move on in life.

Learn to let go of someone who causes you too much pain. It’s good to hurt all at once than to be hurt everyday.

Thanks for sharing a bit of your life, for inspirations and very nice wishes for the friendship you’ve shown me. I may haven’t done enough to make you feel that I value you but there’s only few.

True happiness is not about a big laugh or tears of joy. It’s about a simple smile whenever you remember someone who made your life

simple but completely happy.

I may not have the best love life in the world. But I am blessed with super great relationships with my friends on earth.

God makes life a little rocky, not to grind you into dust but to polish you into a brilliant gem.

Be with people who know your worth. You don’t need too many people to be happy, just a few real ones who appreciate you for

who you are.

God placed different people in our lives for a reason. Some to challenge us, some to inspire us, some to stretch us, some to

encourage us, and some more for other good reasons. But don’t forget that you also play a unique role in someone else’s life. So be

happy with whatever you’re doing, no matter how small or how difficult your task is, only you can do it. God only knows how far

your influence can go.

I’d rather choose being hurt with the truth than making me believe all his lies. Leave me rather than to be with me but his heart

belongs to someone else. Break up with me rather than use me and just be his option. Give up on me rather than staying in the

relationship when I know I’m the only one fighting. Let me go rather than hear painful words from him. Yes it hurts, but I’d rather

be alone than be with someone who takes me for granted and doesn’t realize my worth.

A sweet line from Jesus: “I’ve come to you not to make you love me, but rather to make you realize that you’re worth loving.”

Be careful in ignoring things you thought are just nothing because maybe someday you’ll realize that the one you ignored is the thing

you’ve been wishing for.

You have only two options in life: Change or accept. So try to change what you can’t accept and accept what you can’t change.

A smile makes you look younger while laughter makes us feel healthier and friends? They make us remember to do both.

All the water in the ocean could never sink a ship unless it gets inside. Likewise all the pressures in life can never hurt you unless

you let it in.

Faith teaches us to believe no matter what situations were having right now. Hold on, be strong, and don’t give up. God works in ways

we cannot see.

I guess Spiderman wasn’t kidding when he said, “no matter how much goodness you’ve done to them, they will still hurt you.”

Don’t give up when you still have something to give because nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

“Sometimes we have to make a big mistake to figure out how to make things right. Mistakes are painful, but they are the only way

to find out the reality.

I don’t believe that laughing is always been the best medicine. Because I know that sometimes a cry can cure what a laugh can’t.

“It doesn’t matter what a man believes. What matters is what he does. We judge a man not by his doctrines but by what he does.”

Throw your worries to the wind and let them fly to God. In the end, it is He alone who guides the wind to breeze joy and love back to

you.

“I’ll choose a lazy person to do the hardest job, because surely they’ll find an easy way to do it. Bill Gates

“Some lessons are best learned through pain. Sometimes our visions clear only after our eyes are washed with tears. Sometimes, we have to be

broken so that we can be whole again.” Remember, If God made the day to be perfect He wouldn’t have invented tomorrow.

While it is wise to learn from our own experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.

Each time the world needs an extra touch of love and gentle caring, God creates a friend.

Whatever mistakes we have made, our only way out is to move forward. This is life’s proven formula: don’t look back in regret but move on with

hope.

It’s painful to fall in love with someone who has someone else especially if you tried everything to ignore the feelings, worst if that someone made you

feel as if you’re someone special but then you’re just special and never would be the one.

In life you’ll find special people who change your life just by being part of it who make you laugh until you can’t stop who makes you believe that

there’s really good in the world that convinces you that there’s an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. They’re called friends.

If you’re in a relationship, there’s no harm in looking and admiring others. It’s like window shopping, good to see what’s on offer. But it doesn’t mean

that you have to buy it.

A breath of prayer in the morning means a day of power and blessings. Let God’s providence remind you that He is prepared the best for you today.

The heart remembers all special moments when goodness made a difference. May the love you share with others return to you in countless

ways.

The most painful in this world is neither death nor love that is lost. But rather lies that are keep untold in conscious pretensions.

Take a room for Jesus in your heart and He will make a room for you in heaven.

Sometimes it breaks a heart to say goodbye but if it’s the only way to make things better, it’s easier to live life and work alone than to carry baggage’s

you don’t own.

God said, “Don’t get tired of doing what is good, don’t get discouraged and don’t give up. For you will reap a harvest of blessings at the appropriate

time.

Whether you trust a person or not, whether you question his actions or you spy on him. If a man wants to cheat, he will find a way for it.

In life you have a decision to make. Either you will step forward into growth or you will step back into safety. Choose wisely, because when you take

risk, you risk even more. Don’t settle for merely a comfortable life. Explore and dream, otherwise you stagnate. Nothing is too expensive than missed

opportunity.

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you and leave without feeling better and happier. Be the expression of God’s kindness.

Let us not think of the few things we did not get after praying. Let’s think of the countless beautiful things God gave us without asking.

If you really love someone, show it. It will be sweeter than telling it. And if you don’t love that person anymore, tell it. It will be better than showing it.

When hard days come, push.When mistakes are get worst, push.

When things are hard to understand, push.When you feel like quitting, push.When everything’s empty, push.

P-pray U-until

S-something H-happensKeep pushing!

Life is full of uncertainties; we’ll never know when our time on earth is up till it’s over. So, take many pictures, laugh much, have a long walk with someone, take time to look at the stars, eat like there’s no tomorrow.

“It’s never the tears that measure the pain. Sometimes, it’s the smile we fake just to show others we’re alright.

I wake up today smiling as I remember I have a loving friend. I hope many years from now I would still wake up smiling for the same good reason that I

have you.

God balances our lives by giving us enough blessings to make us happy and enough burdens to keep us humble.

Let’s enjoy life in all humility and graces.

Isn’t it beautiful to wake up in the morning and realize that there are persons who are willing to love you everyday? Someone who’s not getting tired of waking up just to see your smile? Someone, who is looking forward to be with

you, value those persons whom you still have, and let them be your reason why you still wake up.

If only people could realize how much shorter time is, maybe they’d maximize every fraction of a second to be

happy whenever they could.

As the sky closed into a twinkle evening, may God of heaven shower you a lot of wishes and dreams and make

your night truly magical one.

A smile is a language that everybody understands. It costs nothing but it creates much. It happens fast but its

memory lasts. So keep smiling and stay happy.

Worries are like bird. Let them fly over you, but don’t let them build a nest on your head. Life is beautiful, keep worry free.

Not everything that you wanted and work hard for is always meant to be yours. Somehow you lose, but there

will come a better one that you surely deserve more than anything.

Letting go of someone you love is like putting your favorite teddy bear in a donation box. You will miss it, but you know

that someone deserves it more.

Sometimes, if the string gets too tangled and messed up to solve, it’s better to cut it out. Start a new one and just

leave that tangled part alone.

The single hand that wipes your tears during your failures is much better than the countless hands that come

together to clap you on your success.

A stupid past will always be remembered but can never be changed. But, mistakes can always be corrected and

should never be repeated.

Life seems never the way we want it, but we must live it the best we can. There’s no such thing as a perfect life,

only a life sprinkled with perfect moments.

You can close your eyes from the things you don’t want to see, but you can never close your heart from the things

you don’t want to feel.

Confidence may not bring us to success but it gives us the power to face any challenge.

The best helping hand is at the end of your own arm. When you feel you can’t handle things, just put your hands

together and pray. Remember that while we do what we can, God will do what we can’t.

Start your day with these exercises:Stretch your patience,

Run miles of faith,Flex your love for others,

Kick those worries away,Smile your heart out,

Jump to good decisions,And bend into right conclusions!

Smile is a sign of Joy.Hug is a sign of Love.

Laugh is a sign of Happiness.And you are a sign of God’s Love.

Have you seen my smile?I’ve been looking for it the whole day.

I’m wondering perhaps you know where it is, because the last time I saw it when I was with you!

I don’t believe that laughing has always been the best medicine, because I know that sometimes a cry can cure

what a laugh can’t.

Let me share this beautiful txt, I asked God, how do I get the best out of my life?

God answered, “Face your past without regret, handle your present with confidence, and prepare for the future without

fear.” Then He added, “Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don’t believe your doubts and never doubts your beliefs. Life is wonderful if you know how to live, the present is

inevitable. Remember the power of God.”

God’s gift to me are people like you, with well meant prayers, I whispered my thanks to Him and asked Him to

bless you in ways only He can do.

“You Are a Part of Me”

You are so much a part of me nowThat I’ll never be the same

I realize that as I think of how interwoven Our lives have become

We’ve been touched by each other’s minds and ideas and opinionsAnd we’ve shared things that we could never forgetYou’ve made me feel needed and safe and complete

You’ve listened to my most private thoughtsYou’ve been content to walk where I’ve walked

But also led me down exciting new roads of your ownI’m a different person because of all that you’ve unlocked

And discovered in me And on your birthday

I want you to know that you and your love Will forever be a part of me.

Happy Birthday to you!

“Confidence comes not from always being right But from not fearing to be wrong.”

“Never turn down assistance or hesitate to ask for help. Remember, your need is someone

I’m in Love with YouLately, I’ve been having a hard time keeping

my mind on anything but you!I find myself daydreaming about us all the time, and when I do, I can’t help but smile.When people ask me what’s going on, I say,

“Nothing”, but that’s not true.A lot is going on-

And it’s all because of you.I hear your voice in all my favorite songs.

I see your face wherever I go.I’m happy, sad, and confused all at once-

and it feels wonderful!

life right now that is worth being happy

about?

4. What can I do today to develop a more

healthful lifestyle?

mistakes?

“Don’t Quit”

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will

When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low and debts are high

And you want to smile but you have to sigh

When care is pressing you down a bit, rest if you must

But don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns

As everyone of us sometimes learns and many a failure

turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow

You may succeed with another blow.

Success if failure turned inside out,

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far,

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit,

It’s when things seem worse that you must not quit!

“LET IT GO”

If you are holding on to something that doesn’t belong to you and was never intended for your life,

then you need it to let it go!If you are holding on to past hurts and pains…let it

go!If someone can’t treat you right; love you back and

see your worth. Let it go!If someone has angered you…let it go!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge…let it go!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction…let it go!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents…let it go!

If you have a bad attitude…let it go!If you keep judging others to make yourself feel

better…let it go!If your stuck in the past and God is trying to take you

to a new level in Him…let it go!If you are struggling with the healing of a broken

relationship…let it go! If you keep trying to help someone who won’t even

try to help themselves…let it go!If you’re feeling depressed and stressed…let it go!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying

“Take your hands off of it”, then you need to let it go!

Let the past be the past.Forget the former things.

God is doing a new thing for you. Let it go!Get right or get left…think about it, then…let it go!

Let God’s love, peace and blessings be with you always…

The past cannot be changed…the future is still in your power.

“Gems for thought”“When Love and skill work together, expect a

masterpiece.”

“One song can change a moment, one idea can change the world, one step can start a journey, but a prayer can change even the impossible one.”

A nice wake-up is always a gift of God. Let us turn this gift into blessings by our act of sharing. And to you, I share a blessed day morning!

Never get discourage when things do not measure to your expectation. Always remember that the greatest glory in life is not winning, but rising

every time we fall.

The best out of life is facing the past without regret. Handling the present with confidence and preparing the future without fear. Then keep the faith and drop the fear. Don’t believe in your doubts and never doubts what you

believe. Life is a wonderful if you know how to live meaningfully!

Don’t try to find person without weakness, for you’ll not find any. All persons have their negative sides. We all have limitations. We all commit mistakes because the truth is “everyone can be naturally nice but no one is perfectly

kind.

Friendship is not measured when both take care of each other. It’s measured when one ignores and the other still continue to care.

Life has been unfair to everyone, you give extra effort on all you do yet you’re never satisfied on what you are receiving but still you should never give up as what Bob Marley said, “They made the world so hard, so we’ll

keep on fight in”.

Special persons are part of my memories that even time can never erase and when I’m blessed with a person like you, my memories are worth

keeping forever!

Whenever I have a problem, I just sing. It helps me realized…my voice is worse than my problem.

Friends are people who build houses in our hearts. Encourage them to live there forever so that you will never feel empty.

Some people don’t know how to be satisfied, without knowing that sometimes “wanting more” means “losing everything”.

When I got enough confidence, the stage was gone. When I was sure of losing, I won. When I needed people the most, they left me. When I learn to dry my tears, I found a shoulder to cry on. And when I mastered the skills of

hating, somebody started loving me.

You can’t tap your back for a job well done.You can’t hug yourself for comfort, and you can’t cry on your shoulders

when tears fall.Those are the reasons why you have friends in your life. To let them do

those things that you can’t do for yourself.

God Bless You! Is such a little prayer but it means so much… It means “May the Lord with His gracious hands give you more than you have prayed for.”

1. The final test of faithIs not how much you believe?

But how much you Love?

No body loves a woman because she is beautiful or ugly, stupid or intelligent.

We love because we love.

2. No one perfectly loves God Who does not perfectly love some of His creatures?

In life, it is not the kind of work that matters most,But it is how you work your works!

3. Jesus said, “Love one another”.He didn’t say love the whole world.

Courage is the anchor that holds one steady, and enables one to climb on and on.

4. Never measure the mountain until you have reached the top.It may not be as high as it seems.

The mind has a thousand eyes, and the heart but one.Yet the light of the whole world dies when love is done.

5. Be nice to the people you meet on the way to the top Because you’ll have to meet them again on the way back down.

The real measure of a person’s wealth is what they have invested for eternity.

6. Look for strength in people, not weaknesses, good not evil. Most of us find what we search for.

It is easier to pick a wise man by the things he doesn’t say.

7. If you want to succeed, You have to forge new paths

And avoid borrowed ones that promise success.

Faith is continuing to run, confident that you will get your “second wind”.

8. Management produces orderly results. Leadership creates useful change. You need both to be effective.

Man needs more than a new start,

He needs a new heart.

9. Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people Who have the habit of making excuses?

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

10. Live is to living, not for thinking. To live freely,

We must liberate ourselves from negative thoughts.

Where you maybe tomorrowDepends wholly and solely on the road you are taking today.

11. Some of the best lessons we ever learn,We learn from our mistakes and failures.

The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.

Success lies not in what we start, but in what we finish.

12. Love makes the time pass. Time makes love pass.

Encouragement costs you nothing to give.But it is priceless to receive.

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to

touch heaven Johannes A. Gaertner

THE PARADOX OF OUR AGEWe have higher incomes, but lower morals.More food but less appeasementMore acquaintances but fewer friendsMore effort but less success

We built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but less communication.We’ve become long in quantity, but short in quality.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion.Tall men and short characterSteep profits and shallow relationshipsThere are the times of world peace but domestic warfareMore leisure and less funMore kinds of food, but less nutrition

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce of fancier houses but broken homes.These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapersThrow away morality, one night standsOverweight bodies and pills that do everything from cheerTo quit..To kill..

It is a time where there is much in the show window and nothing in the stock room Isn’t it the time to reassess our own self?We have taller buildings but shorter tempers,Wider freeways but narrower view pointsWe spend more, but have lessWe buy more but enjoy less

We have bigger houses and smaller familiesMore conveniences but less timeWe have more degrees but less sense More knowledge but less judgmentMore experts but more problemsMore medicines but less wellness

We drink too much, smoke too muchSpend too recklessly, laugh too littleDrive too fast, gets angry too quicklyStay up too late, get up too tiredRead too seldom, watch TV too muchAnd play seldom

We have multiplied our possessions but reduce our valuesWe talk too much, love too seldom and lie too oftenWe’ve learned how to make a living but not lifeWe’ve added years to life not life to years

We’ve been all the way to the moon and backBut we have trouble crossing the street to meet the new

neighborWe’ve conquered outer space but not inner space

We’ve done larger things but not better thingsWe’ve cleaned up the air but polluted the soulWe’ve split the atom but not our prejudice

We write more but learn lessPlan more but accomplish lessWe’ve learned to rush but not to wait…

(LNU-Jenita)
