When tomorrow starts without me!(*&

• When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes, All filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today, While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name and Took me by the hand. And said my place was ready in Heaven far above, And that I’d have to leave behind, all those Things I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, For all my life, I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die. I had so much to live for, so much yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while, I’d say goodbye and kiss you, and maybe See you smile. But then I fully realized, that could never be, For emptiness and memories, would take The place of me. And when I thought of worldly things, I might Miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was Filled with sorrow. But when I walked through Heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From his great golden throne. He said, “This is eternity, and all I’ve Promised you. Today your life on Earth is past, and Here it starts anew”. “I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, And since each day’s the same day, there’s No longing for the past”. “But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true, Though there were times you did some things, You know you shouldn’t do”. “But you have been forgiven, and now at Last you’re free, So won’t you take my hand now and share My life with Me”. So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t Think we’re far apart, For every time you think of me, I’m right here In your heart.

Promise yourself and keep the promise!!

• Promise Yourself
Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can Disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to Every person you meet. To make all your friends feel like there is Something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your Optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, And expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others As you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the Greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give Every living person you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself That you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too Strong for fear, and too happy to permit the Presence of trouble.

A live-by creed!!!

• A Creed to Live By
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing Yourself with others, It is because we are different that each Of us is special. Don’t set your goals by what other people Deem important, Only you know what is best for you. Don’t take for granted the things closest To your heart Cling to that as you would your life, for without Them life is meaningless. Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living In the past or the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the Days of your life. Don’t give up when you still have something to give Nothing is really over … until the moment You stop trying. Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less Than perfect, It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other. Don’t be afraid to encounter risks, It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s Impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly, And the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don’t dismiss your Dreams. To be without Dreams is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose. Don’t run through life so fast that you forget Where you’ve been, But also know where you’re going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored Every step of the way.

Inspirational Poem

 Count Your Blessings

 Unknown Author

I've never made a fortune,
and it's probably too late now.
But I don't worry about that much,
I'm happy anyhow.

And as I go along life's way,
I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Haven't got a lot of riches,
and sometimes the going's tough.
But I've got loving ones all around me,
and that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for his blessings,
and the mercies He's bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
and the sun peeped through again.

So Lord, help me not to gripe,
about the tough rows I have hoed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough.
I'll not ask for other blessings,
I'm already blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy,
to help others bear their loads.
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

When I think of how many people
in this world have it worse than I do.
I realize just how blessed most of us really are.

You have a divine purpose on earth...never give up!!!

One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality. .. I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
"God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me...
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.
I gave them light.
I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor.
Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.
In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.
"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.
But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would
not quit." He said.
"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared
to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant. ..But just 6
months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.
I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots".
"I would not quit on the bamboo.
I will never quit on you."
"Don't compare yourself to others."
He said.
"The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern.
Yet they both make the forest beautiful."
"Your time will come", God said to me.
"You will rise high"
"How high should I rise?"
I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
"As high as it can?" I questioned.
"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."
I left the forest and brought back this story.
I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.
Never, Never, Never Give up.
For the Christian Prayer is not an option but an opportunity.
Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is,
tell the problem how Great the Lord is!

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
