What's worse than being alone this Christmas

2009-12-24T10:04:00.001-08:00

What's worse than being alone this Christmas?
Not having anyone to love you
Not having anything to eat
Not having a warm dry place to lay your head.

I suggest you do what I did today, I got on my knees and began to thank God for what I had.

That I had people to love me and people I could love back
That I could eat anytime I wanted and pretty much eat anything I wanted
That I do have a warm dry place to sleep
and then my list of THANKS just kept growing.

(1 Tim 6:8 KJV) And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

(Luke 3:14 KJV) And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
(Phil 4:11 KJV) Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
(Heb 13:5 KJV) Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
May your Christmas be filled with laughter, love, Joy and happiness and most of all with gratitude and thanksgiving.
I thank my God for His love for me and the Salvation that He freely gave.
John 3:16 Romans 10:13

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?

2009-11-20T20:58:00.000-08:00

XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL

If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com
you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!!
It is FREE and it only takes a second.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?
Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them.

This takes just 10 seconds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you.
Please take the time and please take the time to pass it on for others to do.
We can never say enough thank you's.

Thanks for taking to time to support our military!

TWO CHOICES

2009-11-17T06:54:00.000-08:00

A REAL STORY That I pray will touch your heart, your life and others.

Where is God's Perfection?

In Brooklyn, New York, Chush is a school that caters to learning disabled children. Some children remain in Chush for their entire school career, while others can be mainstreamed into conventional schools.

At a Chush fund-raising dinner, the father of a Chush child delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended.

After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he cried out, "Where is the perfection in my son Shaya? Everything God does is done with perfection. But my child cannot understand things as other children do. My child cannot remember facts and figures as other children do. Where is God's perfection?"

The audience was shocked by the question, pained by the father's anguish, stilled by the piercing query. " I believe," the father answered, "that when God brings a child like this into the world, the perfection that he seeks is in the way people react to this child."

He then told the following story about his son Shaya:
One afternoon Shaya and his father walked past a park where some boys Shaya knew were playing baseball.
Shaya asked, "Do you think they will let me play?"
Shaya's father knew that his son was not at all athletic and that most boys would not want him on their team. But Shaya's father understood that if his son was chosen to play it would give him a comfortable sense of belonging. Shaya's father approached one of the boys in the field and asked if Shaya could play. The boy looked around for guidance from his teammates. Getting none, he took matters into his own hands and said "We are losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him up to bat in the ninth inning."

Shaya's father was ecstatic as Shaya smiled broadly. Shaya was told to put on a glove and go out to play short center field.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shaya's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shaya's team scored again and now with two outs and the bases loaded with the potential winning run on base, Shaya was scheduled to be up. Would the team actually let Shaya bat at this juncture and give away their chance to win the game? Surpassingly, Shaya was given the bat.

Everyone knew that it was all but impossible because Shaya didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, let alone hit with it. However as Shaya stepped up to the plate, the pitcher moved a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shaya should at least be able to make contact.

The first pitch came in and Shaya swung clumsily and missed. One of Shaya's teammates came up to Shaya and together the held the bat and faced the pitcher waiting for the next pitch. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly toward Shaya. As the pitch came in, Shaya and his teammate swung at the bat and together they hit a slow ground ball to the pitcher.

The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could easily have thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shaya would have been out and that would have ended the game. Instead, the pitcher took the ball and threw it on a high arc to right field, far beyond reach of the first baseman.

Everyone started yelling,"Shaya, run to first. Run to first." Never in his life had Shaya run to first. He scampered down the baseline wide-eyed and startled. By the time he reached first base, the right fielder had the ball. He could have thrown the ball to the second baseman who would tag out Shaya, who was still running. But the right fielder understood what the pitcher's intentions were, so he threw the ball high and far over the third baseman's head. Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second." Shaya ran towards second base as the runners ahead of him deliriously circled the bases towards home. As Shaya reached second base, the opposing short stop ran to him, turned him in the direction of third base and shouted, "Run to third." As Shaya rounded third, the boys from both teams ran behind him screaming, "Shaya run home."

Shaya ran home, stepped on home plate and all 18 boys lifted him on their shoulders and made him the hero, as he had just hit a "grand slam" and won the game for his team.

"That day," said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, "those 18 boys reached their level of God's perfection."

--------------------------
Question is, will we personally be willing to personally put away ourselves for that moment in time to make a moment in time for someone else. You are a friend to me that is why I am sending you this email. I hope that this was a blessing to you as it was to me.

WHY YOU NEVER QUESTION A DRUNK

2009-11-09T21:39:00.000-08:00

I was shopping at the local supermarket where I selected:
A half-gallon of 2% milk,
A carton of eggs,
A quart of orange juice,
A head of romaine lettuce,
A 2 lb. can of coffee, and
A 1 lb. package of bacon.

As I was unloading my items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind me watched as I placed the items in front of the cashier. While the cashier was ringing up the purchases, the drunk calmly stated, 'You must be single.' I was a bit startled by this proclamation, but I was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since I was indeed single. I looked at the six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about my selections that could have tipped off the drunk to my marital status. Curiosity getting the better of me, I said: 'Well, you know what, you're absolutely right. But how on earth did you know that?' The drunk replied, "'Cause you're ugly."

Life is an adventure!

2009-11-03T05:48:00.000-08:00

Life is an adventure!
Get to know yourself, work at what you like and are good at, and be kind.
Folks that come across your path are meant to be there. Nurture them.
Be content in whatever situation you find yourself.
Our experiences don't kill us; they are lessons learned.
Live your life to create good memories because when your old with less to do your memories will either haunt or entertain you.

True wisdom does not mean absence from pain. The Light that we are given offers us a place to grow while the storm rages around us, a caring hand to pick us up when we are broken, and a shelter filled with love and understanding while we once again struggle to take our first steps. You see, wisdom is not something we figure out in our minds, it comes from the knowledge we gain while we learn to walk. Each time we take a new step of faith, wisdom opens her arms for us to move forward.

Until life is over

2009-11-01T06:09:00.000-08:00

God does not propose to judge a man until his life is over.
Why should you and I?
Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours.

Tequila and Salt

2009-10-23T08:07:00.001-07:00

Tequila and Salt

This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way which is always better than no way at all.
3. For the most, the only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. Hey, its probably me!
6. You mean the world to someone. Hey, I'm a someone!
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. Hey, I exist, so its probably me!
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it even if its just a new start.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look, for I will be standing there with you.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

And always remember..... when life hands you Lemons, ask for Tequila and Salt and call me over!

Good friends are like stars........ You don't always see them, But you know they are always there.
"Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another, Even Though Sometimes It's Hell in the Hallway"
I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm alive than a whole truck load when I'm dead and gone.

Happiness keeps You Sweet, Trials keep You Strong, Sorrows keep You Human, Failures keeps You Humble, Success keeps You Moving, but Real Friends keep you Glowing!

I am blessed to have you as my friend.

Personal Growth

2009-10-14T08:46:00.000-07:00

My personal growth goal is to make sure that I make others feel important to me and to do that I will put them on my top priority list to contact them anytime they contact me.

“If people do not respect your time, they will not respect you. Time is something you can never get back, so use it wisely. Use it to the fullest! Time is a gift.”

So if a friend calls you, respect them by returning their call in a timely manner.

To neglect contacting them is an insult to them and a loud shout that they are NOT important enough to you for you to take the time to either call or text.

May your days be filled with blessings as it is filled with friendship.

For a good laugh, check out my friend Terry and I being stars for 60 seconds. What a fun time we had and what a great memory we created. I think everyone should try to create at least one memory a day that will last them a life time. Check out our fun video. If you have a dancing heads video system at your local mall I would plan to take each of my friends at least once a day or week to go to the mall and created your video.

2009-08-21T07:39:00.000-07:00

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes. A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think.

'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'

'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'

Emily - age 8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.'
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,'
Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'

Karen - age 7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.'
Mark - age 6
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot.. People forget.'
Jessica - age 8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the final one:

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry'

A REAL FRIEND...

2009-08-18T08:46:00.000-07:00

What's the point of having friends if you can't be yourself around them?
A real friend is someone to cry with during the bad times.
A Real friend is some to gloat with during the good times.
A Real friend will visit you when you flat on your back.
A Real friend will put up with you when no one else will.
A Real friend will cry with you because for no other reason you are hurt and crying.
A Real friend is someone to rage with when life is really unfair.
A Real friend is someone to dream with while plotting your goals.
A Real friend makes an awesome cheerleader.
A Real friend is someone to pray with for support.
A Real friend is someone that you can laugh with until you make that funny snorting sound.
A Real friend is someone to burp and fart with because they don't care if you are a real person.
A Real friend you can be yourself and they aren't going to turn their back on you.
A Real friend will love you through thick and thin and in spite of your sins.

If you have to walk on eggshells, be on your best manners, or monitor your every word and action, then you're probably not with a real friend.

A real friend is one of life's greatest blessings, don't forget to give thanks.

My Prayer
Father in Heaven, Today again I give you thanks that you gave me a REAL FRIEND. A friend who gave me so many memories that will forever flood my heart, my mind, and will continue to give me laughter in my heart, as my days too grow old. I pray that someday someone might feel about me the way I feel about my best friend. We miss him, love him, and look forward to seeing Him soon. Again, thank you for the honor of knowing what it was to have had a REAL BEST friend in my life. May you fill our lives with laughter, hope and assurance. May you comfort our hearts during this time. As you cried at the grave side of your friends, I know you know how it hurts us all here today to be at the side of a REAL friend that is now in your hands. I know he is busy enjoying the presence of you and all those in heaven, so every now and then give him a hug from all of us and remind him how much we love him. Thank you for being our God, our hope, our assurance and most of all our Savior and soon coming King. In Jesus Christ's Name we pray.

Two Ends

2009-08-17T20:32:00.000-07:00

Nature gave men two ends - one to sit on and one to think with. Ever since then man's success or failure has been dependent on the one he used most. -- George R. Kirkpatrick

If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut. -- Albert Einstein

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. -- Winston Churchill

Questions I believe will help anyone start to bring change their life:

2009-08-16T06:59:00.001-07:00

How can one try to improve upon their life if they don’t know where to look or how to change it? Many people never even try to grow in a positive way. Here are seven questions that I think will be a good start in a good direction. Try it yourself, and ask yourself the following questions today and then answer them again at the end of the week.

1. What will I try to improve on this next week?
2. What was I most proud of this week?
3. What was my biggest accomplishment this week?
4. What have I done to get closer to my life goals this week?
5. What was hard for me this week, and why was it so hard for me?
6. What was my biggest waste of time, hindrance and distraction this week?
7. What did I do this week that made me ashamed, proud, overwhelmed or left in awe?

"It's the setting of the sail not the blowing of the wind that sets the journey of the ship in motion" The setting of the sail is your concrete decisions of what your choice will be for you. Set your choices in stone then raise them high like a sail so that all will see and let your sail fill up with consistent actions and that will start you on a journey that will change your life!" It's the setting of the sail not the blowing of the wind that sets the destiny of the ship in motion. (Dr H)

IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DO WHAT OTHERS WON’T”…You will have,You will achieve,You will become…….what others never will. (Dr H)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: that's why we call it - The Present."

"There are no limits to who you can become." The only constant is change -- and the only way to keep up with change is to learn and grow. The more you learn and grow, the more progressive and effective you'll become. Keep expanding your possibilities by being open and receptive to new ideas. If you're not constantly improving your learning power, you're falling farther behind -- and your earning power may be falling even faster. Key Action: Embrace change, and learn to grow from new ideas and experiences.

Never thought life would be this

2009-08-15T21:33:00.001-07:00

I never thought in my wildest dreams that life would have taken so many turns of events in so many shapes and shadows of reality. Everyone is talking about how our world is changing yet it is my life that is changing faster than the world around me. As I look over the years I am grateful for each of them but as the days seems to get faster and more insane I often find myself wondering why? Why did I think the way I did about all the things that I thought were so important and that they would just go on and on the way they were, when in reality they were just blimps of time that have raced by. I never dreamed in all my days that I would be 52 and yet find myself racing so fast just to live my life with all I can before this thing called life can be over. Yet my life is changing so fast in so many directions that I have come to the conclusion that all that really matters is that I take the time to enjoy every day, every moment, every event and every person that comes my way knowing that people, places and events may all be but a shimmering short moment in this thing called life. I now believe with all my heart that it is intended for me to enjoy the very spark of life that is within me and to enjoy the very fact that I am alive and that there will be people, places and events that will fill my life with memories that will last forever in my life. I have come to understand that things do change more rapidly than I am ready for and that people come and go more often through my life than I would like. So today I choose to enjoy everyone in my life, and to look forward to the memories that I will hold dear long after the people, the events are gone. For that, I am so grateful. The question for today is: Did I take the time to see and experience everyone, every thing and every event that came into my life with awe and splendor. I am grateful for it all, no matter what that may be. Until then, I look forward to what the night and the new day may hold for me to experience. It is a page and chapter in my life. I embrace that adventure of this thing called life just like an artist waits for the picture to be revealed on their canvas. Every stroke of the brush, every color added or blended is what will make it a masterpiece. So, today we paint on the canvas of my life. To all who are in my life, you are the colors, the brush strokes that fill up the canvas of my life. I again, am so grateful for each and every one of you that play a part in my life and the memories that you help to create. What an awesome creator we have because my creator alone has allowed me to exist and I feel that that with each passing day I am learning more and more of what really is important and what is not that important. I close today with this final thought: You only get one shot at this thing called life so make the most of it today and live it to the max not forgetting to watch the sun rise and set in wonder of it all. I choose to slow down and take the time to look at each event, each person, each moment in time and to soak it all in before it changes once again.
