GOD WANTS US TO KNOW...
HAVE A BLESSED DAY TO ALL....
summer vacation is coming.... hope you all enjoy!!!

Sometimes it may seem like you can't figure it out by yourself.
Sometimes will and strength and courage are not enough.
Sometimes in your life you will need to call out for help.
Call on God. God will be there.

Give some of that weight where it belongs,
- to God, and have faith that what happens is for the best,
whether you understand it or not.

God doesn't create faulty life. No.
Everything created by God is perfect, and so are you.
So stop driving yourself mad with endless ways to improve,
and just accept the glory of your being as is.

Love has great potential to enrich your life.
But if you are just playing a role, pretending to love,
it's only going to poison you.
Because you are teaching yourself that it's just a game,
and slowly but surely you will lose the capacity to open in love.

Let your love radiate out to all you meet.
Let your love touch the hearts of people you don't even know.
Let your love reach to the far corners of the earth.
Love is what is saving the world.

You can mouth the words of a prayer all day long
and just waste your time,
unless you also speak with your heart.
And to speak with your heart means to embody first.
If you pray for love, be loving.
...If you pray for wealth, be generous.
If you pray for health, practice health yourself.
What is your favorite prayer? How can you begin to embody it?

Don't seek, don't search, don't ask, don't knock, don't demand
- relax. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, God shows you the way.

If all was going your way all the time,
you would become a spoiled child, wouldn't everyone?
Difficult people are just one of the ways
God teaches us to expand beyond our egos
and accept other perspectives on life.

In life you can absolutely count on one thing,
- everything can turn around in one day,
in one minute sometimes.
Don't you dare to give up,
- you might be a moment away from a windfall.

To free yourself from a problem
you have to acknowledge it and face it
with your eyes and heart open.

Just like a seed has an image of the tree in it,
so does your heart have an image of who you are becoming.
Look for stories in movies and books that resonate in your heart,
and you will find glimpses of your possible futures.
What is your favorite story?

Touch the Earth with your feet,
lift your face to the sun, breathe the air,
listen to the birds and the wind through the trees.
Glory in the creation that surrounds you.

It's not about how much you have,
how much you know,
or how much you do.
It's about how well you love.
Love is what matters most.

Feel God's light shining within you
and take a step to inspire someone else to shine.
As you share this vision today with just one soul,
that reaches ten lives that touch a thousand.

As your body needs nourishment - food, drink, sleep,
so does your soul need nourishment - sing, dance, love.
Life is not all work, work is not all hard toil.
Nourish your soul with the food that is right for it,
for it is the altar of your own inner temple.

Think back over the last day,
- what could you have taken with delight
that you just skipped over?

With each new day we are given new hope,
new possibilities, new opportunities.
Each new day is a miracle.

What you really want is happiness.
You might believe that a fat bank account
will get you there, but that's false.
Happy people are happy rich or poor,
unhappy people are unhappy rich or poor.
...Money simply masks your real being
by giving you activities to occupy your mind.
Don't fool yourself, recession or not,
your true wealth comes from your heart
and is always only there.

Do not spend energy arguing whose truth is righter,
- just like all life springs forth from one source,
so are all truths but a reflection of God.
Accept another truth as another way of loving God.

Anything else.
You'll only get the same results
if you do what you have always done.

Prayer is when you talk to God.
Meditation is when you become quiet and listen to God.
You've learned how to talk and ask well.
Time to learn how to listen and hear,
because God has been answering you.

You've been worrying too much about the future lately.
So tonight, go ahead, put your faith in God,
and just have a peaceful evening and a restful sleep.

You've carried the guilt, the shame for long enough.
You've kept your wounds open for long enough.
The time has come to let go, to heal.
Keep the lessons and let the pain heal.
Yes, you know what we are talking about.

"Live each day with LOVE"

Life is a constant process of growth and change.
Each day is a miracle filled
with new discoveries and challenges.
Some days bring hurt and disappointment also,
but these, too, are challenges,
and as you grow and change
you learn to handle them with more ease.

Growing older means growing in experiences,
growing in courage and compassion,
growing in love, and growing in strength.
Growing older means changing your life to make it meaningful to you,
changing your attitudes, and staying flexible about everyday living.

Life keeps getting better as long as you have a positive attitude.
Remind yourself of all the things you love about life,
stay in touch with your loved ones and friends,
and do what your heart tells you to.
Your tomorrow will always bring you good things
if you live each day with love.

HAPPY VALENTINES TO YOU ALL!!!

THREE THINGS!!!

This is beautiful!

She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room.

She said: 'How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?'

The surgeon said, 'I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it.'

Sally said, 'Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more?
Where were you, God, when my son needed you?'

The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your son?
One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes,
before he's transported to the university.'

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son.
She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair..
'Would you like a lock of his hair?' the nurse asked.
Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair,
put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.

The mother said, 'It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else.
'I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die.
Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom.
'She went on, 'My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else.
Always wanting to help others if he could.'

Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time,
after spending most of the last six months there.
She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car.
The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house.
She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room..
She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them.
She lay down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.
It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Lying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said:


Dear Mom,

I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You'. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.

Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything.. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures.. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'where was He when I needed him?' 'God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you.. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore the cancer is all gone.. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me.. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?


Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

- LIFE -

My formula for living is quite simple.
I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night.
In between, I occupy myself as best I can.
