It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true. To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon. To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart, The innocence of a child's eyes and the beauty of an aging hand, for it is through their teachings we learn to love. To believe is to know we are not alone, That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it. To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us. When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again. To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen, And all our hopes and dreams are within reach. Thank you Lynne D:) (\o/) (\o/) "Don't be discouraged at seemingly overwhelming odds in your desire to live and to help others live God's commandments. At times it may seem like David trying to fight Goliath. But remember, David did win." ??”David B. Haight (\o/) (\o/) St. Theresa's Prayer: May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of you. (\o/) (\o/) The ability to feel God's love doesn't just make life nicer or more comfortable-it changes everything. When filled with God's love, we can do and see and understand things that we cannot do and see and understand on our own. As our own hearts are softened by these blessings, our overriding desire becomes to help others experience this joy also. (\o/) (\o/) From the Mouth of Babes Melissa was in a panic as she drove home with her six-year-old son. Her husband had just phoned to tell her that Gertie, the family's beloved dog, had slipped out of her collar during their walk, to chase after a cat. He'd looked everywhere. "Well, God only knows where she is," she'd told her husband. "How will we ever find her?" she wondered as she drove through the neighborhood searching for the dog. "She's off the only path she knows. Gertie could be anywhere by now." "Why don't you ask God?" Max piped up from the backseat. "What did you say, Honey?" "You said that only God knows, so why don't you ask him?" Max replied. Melissa chuckled and said a silent prayer. When she turned the next corner, there was Gertie barking up a tree at the neighbor's cat. Thank you Kay:) (\o/) (\o/) "Jesus was a listening leader. Because he loved others with a perfect love, he listened without being condescending. A great leader listens not only to others, but also to his conscience and to the promptings of God." ??”Spencer W. Kimball (\o/) (\o/) The Moment I Came to Love My Enemy One Christmas morning, a kind prison guard at Hua Lo prison showed me the power of faith. By John McCain Senator John McCain served as a Navy pilot during the Vietnam War. In October of 1967, his plane was shot down by North Vietnamese forces, and McCain was captured. McCain spent 5 1/2 years as a POW at Hua Lo prison, where he was struck almost daily by a sadistic guard and sometimes subjected to torture. Yet, as he writes in his latest book, "Character Is Destiny," there were moments of heroism and humanity that he recalls fondly, among them an encounter with a compassionate prison guard one Christmas morning. There was one other occasion during my imprisonment that moved me greatly as evidence of God??™s transcending love. During the time I was held in solitary, I was caught, not for the first time, communicating with my dear friend in the cell next to mine. For my transgression, I was kept overnight in a punishment cell tied very tightly in ropes... On this particular night as I sat on the stool cursing my bad luck, and straining against the painfully tightened ropes, the door suddenly opened and a young gun guard I had occasionally seen wandering around the camp entered the room. He motioned to me to remain silent by placing his finger to his lips, and then, without smiling or even looking me in the eyes, proceeded to loosen the ropes that bound me. His kind action completed, he left without uttering a word to me. As dawn approached, he returned to tighten the ropes before he finished his watch and another guard might have discovered what he had done. In the months that followed, I occasionally saw my Good Samaritan when I was moved from one part of the prison to another. He never allowed himself a glance in my direction, much less spoke to me, until one Christmas morning, when I was briefly allowed out of my cell to stand alone in the outdoors and look up at the clear, blue sky. As I was looking at the heavens, I became aware of him as he walked near me and then, for a moment, stood very close to me. He did not speak or smile or look at me. He just stared at the ground in front of us, and then, very casually, he used his foot to draw a cross in the dirt. We both stood looking at his work for a minute until he rubbed it out and walked away. For just that moment I forgot all my hatred for my enemies, and all the hatred most of them felt for me. I forgot about the Jerk, and the interrogators who persecuted my friends and me. I forgot about the war, and the terrible things that war does to you. I was just one Christian venerating the cross with a fellow Christian on Christmas morning. I saw him again occasionally. But he never looked at me or attempted to speak to me. We never worshiped together again. But I have never forgotten him or the kindness he showed me as a testament to the faith we shared. That experience helped to form my lasting appreciation for my own religious faith, and it took the faith of an enemy to reveal it to me, the faith that unites and never divides, the faith that bridges unbridgeable divisions in humanity, the faith that we are all, sinners and saints alike, children of God. I became a better man, a stronger man, a more faithful man, who, for at least a moment, could love his enemies. (\o/) (\o/) "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command Love each other." - John 15:13-17 Thank you Elaine:) (\o/) (\o/) To all of you from me:) When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power. -Phyllis Bottome We all make mistakes, not a person on earth can say they haven't. My Mom always says: "By our mistakes we learn". That was always my biggest consequence, especially if the mistake seemed rerally bad, that is when she always quoted this, rather than saying things she surely had the right to say. I've learned a lot from that little piece of wisdom. I will remind people about "little" mistakes, but, the huge ones, ya gotta quote Mom, "By our mistakes we learn". This helps you to move forward & try to do better. See? You have been wise sometimes without even realizing it:) Love & hugs to all from Patsy & Kay xoxoxo Remembering Rob 1-10 http://www.pakadevasfreebees.com/RememberingRob.html RememberingRob10 (still in progress) http://www.pakadevasfreebees.com/RememberingRob10.html (\o/) Please take a moment & vote for Pakadevas:) http://www.top50.to/inclick.php?ID=20600 Have a blessed day!
