Celebrating life with God

Life is not a race,
but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Yesterday is History,

Tomorrow is a Mystery and

Today is a gift from God: that's why we call it
THE PRESENT

LIVE LIFE!!!! CELEBRATE LIFE WITH GOD!!!!!

Words of Strength:

Friendships are priceless, time is invaluable,
health is wealth, and love is a treasure.

Create a nest egg of beautiful memories
that you can dip into from time to time
to ease any sorrows.

Have the kind of remembrances
that raise you up with their worth
and keep you there with their wonder.

Always have a secret supply of hopes on hand
to help you plan your tomorrows.

Remember that when you invest in your dreams
it is impossible to overpay.

Give away smiles,
and watch them come back to you
a hundred times over.

Stuff your pockets with kindness and optimism;
there is nothing more precious in the world.

I'm sharing this advice with you today
because you are an important piece
in the puzzle of my life.

About Friendship

If there is one ingredient which adds
warmth and love to our lives...
it is friendship.

If there is one relationship to help
us through all the others...
it is friendship.

Friends surround us with the beauty
of there caring. With friends we can
share what we see, what we feel,
and what we love.

Friends help us with our problems
because they listen. And as they listen
we begin to hear the language of...
our own hearts.

With friends we can walk along the
remembered paths of our lives and
completely share our experiences.

With friends we can work the soil of
forgotten dreams that needed to be
tended and nurtured once again.

With friends we can plant the seed
of our hearts new dreams.

We can always return to a friend like
going back to a special place...
and find the same warm feeling
unchanged by time or distance.

Life gives us friends so we can share
the precious times and memorable moments
of being children, and teenagers,
and adults, and parents and grandparents.

Life gives us friends so we can share
the growing up...and growing down and old.

With friends we have a place to go to be
accepted and understood.
Together we can laugh.
Together we can cry.

Our thoughts are heard,
our feelings are held
in the heart of a friend.

With friends our lives are made
more full, more rich, more open,
beautiful and blessed!

I am Glad I Have
You as a Friend.

God is always near

One thing can always cheer me,
When I'm feeling sad and low;
When I tire of daily trials,
That I have to undergo;

When those who should seem closest,
Seem like people I don't even know,
One thing can always cheer me,
I know that God is near me.
One thing can always cheer me
When I don't understand;

How pain and sadness in our lives,
Can get so out of hand;
When the best of human efforts,
Doesn't meet the days demands,
One thing can always cheer me,
I know that God is near me.

One thing can always cheer me,
More than anything I've known;
And show me I will never
Have to struggle on my own.
For no matter what might ever happen,
I know I will never be alone,
The thing that always cheers me
Is just knowing God is near me.
