BITS OF WISDOM







Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not to envy,
to follow but not imitate,
to praise but not to flatter,
and to lead but not manipulate.

Time
Too slow for those who wait.
Too swift for those who fear
Too long for those who grieve.
Too short for those who rejoice.
But for those who love, time is not.

Yes Wouldn't It?
If we noticed little pleasures
As we noticed littles pains.
If we quite forgot our losses
And remembered all our gains.
If we looked for people's virtues
And their faults refused to see
What a comfortable happy cheerful place
This world would be.

Nature forms us.
Sin deforms us:
School informs us:
But only Christ transforms us.

If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail:
If you can't be the sun, be a star.
It isn't by size that you win or fail:
Be the best of whatever you are.

Don't walk before me
I may not follow,
Don't walk behind me
I may not lead.
Just walk beside me
And be my friend.

Just to be tender,
Just to be glad the whole day through,
Just to be cheery when things go wrong,
Just to drive sadness away with a song,
Just to let love be our daily key-
That is God's will for you and me.

God has for you
A light for every shadow.
A plan for every tomorrow.
A key for every problem and
A baum for every sorrow.

The three great essentials of happiness are:
Something to do,
Someone to love,
And something to hope for.

What is charity?
It's silence when your words would hurt.
It's patience when your neighbor's hurt.
It's deafness when some scandal flows.
It's thoughtfulness for others woes.
It's promptness when stern duty calls.

A little more kindness in word and in deed.
A little more boosting that others may need.
A little more love for the folks that we know,
A little more effort so friendships may grow.
Just a little of these-as we plod along here-
Will make it a wonderful, wonderful year.

Best things to give
To your friend-loyalty:
To your enemy-forgiveness:
To your boss-service:
To a child-a good example:
your parents-gratitude and devotion:
To your wedded mate-love and faithfulness:
To all men-charity:
To God-your life.

I have only just a minute.
Only sixty seconds in it.
Forced upon me.
Can't refuse it.
Didn't chose it.
But it's up to me to use it.
I must suffer if I lose it.
Give account if I abuse it.
Just a tiny little minute-
But eternity is in it.

Happiness is good.
The place to be happy is here.
The time to be happy is now.
The way to be happy is to help make others happy.

Some go to church just for a walk.
Some go there to laugh and talk.
Some go there for observation.
Some go there for speculation.
Some go there to sleep and nod.
We should go there to worship God.

Do all the good you can.
By all the means you can.
In all the ways you can.
In all the places you can.
At all the times you can.
To all the people you can.
As long as ever you can.

Why spend the day in fear,
When help is always near.
God is by your side
In Him you can confide.

We all must feel some pain
And face our daily trial.
We than shall feel the gains
When God on us does smile.

Sometimes it's hard to cope
With all that we must face.
Hold tight to faith and hope
And know you have God's grace.

When words are rude,
And thoughts are crude
You need to clean
Out all that mean.

Life is a challenge - meet it.
Life is a gift - accept it.
Life is an adventure - dare it.
Life is a sorrow - overcome it.
Life is a tragedy - face it.
Life is a duty - perform it.
Life is a game - play it.
Life is a mystery - unfold it.
Life is a song - sing it.
Life is an opportunity - take it.
Life is a journey - complete it.
Life is a promise - fulfill it.
Life is a beauty - praise it.
Life is a struggle - fight it.
Life is a goal - achieve it.
Life is a puzzle - solve it.
Life is eternal - believe it.

God said it!
I believe it!
That settles it!


God has for you
A light for every shadow
A plan for every tomorrow
A key for every problem and
A hug for every sorrow.


A little less of you
A little less of me and
A whole bunch more of God.


Fear less, hope more;
Whine less, breathe more;
Talk less, say more;
Hate less, love more;
And all good things are yours.


Watch your thoughts;
they become words.
Watch your words;
they become actions.
Watch your actions;
they become habits
Watch your habits;
they become character.
Watch your character;
it becomes your destiny.


If there is beauty in character,
there will be harmony in the home.
If there is harmony in the home,
there will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
there will be peace in the world.


The best thing to give
... to your enemy, forgiveness
... to a friend, your heart
... to your child, a good example
... to all, charity.


If we trust, we do not worry
If we worry, we do not trust,
Faith begins, where worry ends
Worry ends, where faith begins.


May your path be strewn with flowers,
Memories, friends and happy homes.
May blessings come from heaven above,
To fill your life with peace and love.


My life shall touch a doven lives
Before this day is done,
Leave countless marks for good or ill
Ere sets the evening sun.
This is the wish I always wish
The prayer I always pray.
Lord, may my life help other lives
It touches by the way.


The vision to see,
The faith to believe, and
The will to do
Will take you anywhere.


A song? Sing it.
An offering? Bring it.
A habit? Drop it.
A worry? Stop it.


Friendship is a treasured gift
We cannot sell or buy,
Nor loan, nor borrow, nor exchange
No matter how we try.
Yet friendship is a thing that's
Owned by lots like you and me,
Because God loves us everyone
And gives it to us free.


We choose the kind of clothes we wear
And the food we eat and drink,
But even more important are
The thoughts we choose to think.


Love is unselfish
Understanding and kind
For it sees with it's heart
And not with it's mind!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks
Love is the language
That every heart speaks
Love can't be bought
It is priceless and free
Love, like pure magic
Is life's sweet mystery!


It isn't the things we get;
It isn't how much we know;
It's the will to serve;
It's the hand we lend;
It's the light our lanterns throw.


When I want to speak let me think first:
Is it true?
Is it kind?
Is it necessary?
If not, let it be left unsaid.


We mutter and sputter,
We fume and we spurt,
We stumble and grumble,
Our feelings get hurt,
We can't understand things,
Our vision grows dim.
When all that we need is,
A moment with Him.


Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury let me sow pardon.
Where there is doubt let me sow faith.
Where there is darkness let me sow light.
Where there is despair let me sow hope.
Where there is sadness let me sow joy.


In my lifetime,
I hope to develop>BR> Arms that are strong,
Hands that are gentle,
Ears that will listen,
Eyes that are kind,
A mind full of wisdom,
A heart that understands,
A tongue that will speak softly.


What we believe is based on our perceptions.
What we perceive depends on what we look for.
What we look for depends on what we think.
What we think depends on what we perceive.
What we perceive determines what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is our reality


Doubt versus Faith
Doubt sees the obstacles,
Faith sees the way.
Doubt sees the darkest night,
Faith sees the day.
Doubt dreads to take a step,
Faith soars on high.
Doubt questions, "Who believes?"
Faith answers, "I".


To know the will of God is the greatest knowledge.
To find the will of God is the greatest discovery.
To do the will of God is the greatest achievement.


BEST THINGS TO GIVE
To your friend - Loyalty
To your enemy - Forgiveness
To your boss - Service
To a child - A Good Example
To your parents - Gratitude and Devotion
To your wedded mate - Love and Faithfulness
To all men - Charity
To God - Your Life.


Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your tears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.


Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Failures keeps You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only God keeps You Going!


Take time to pray - it*s a source of power
Take time to read - it*s a fountain of wisdom.
Take time to play - it*s a secret of youth.
Take time to be friendly - it*s a path of happiness.
Take time to laugh -�it*s the music of the soul.
Take time to dream - it*s a road to greater vision.
Take time to love - it*s GOD like.


Yesterday He helped me
Today I'll praise His name;
Because I know tomorrow
He'll help me just the same.
