Angels All Around You...

Have you ever met a person
Who fulfilled you deep inside,
Someone whose never failed you
And stands right at your side.

Someone who gives all they have
And brings sunshine all around,
Always smiling and laughing,
Never seeming down.

Have you ever watched a sunset
Across the ocean shore,
And been filled with love and peace,
Never needing more.

Have you ever listened to the wind
Blowing restless through the night,
And heard angel's whispers helping you
To see when you've lost sight?

Have you heard a song that moves you
And sets your soul free,
And makes you forget your anger
And makes you feel happy?

Have you ever given to someone
When you didn't have it to spare,
And feel so worthy inside,
That you didn't have a care?

Heavenly creatures surround you,
So listen closely to what they say,
They'll bring you all of life's riches,
As they guide you along your way!

ANGEL WISDOM

Don't be so busy adding up your troubles
that you forget to count your blessings.


The smallest deed done is
greater than the best of intentions.


Love is a language that can be heard
by the deaf and seen by the blind.


A house is made of wooden beams.
A home is made of love and dreams.


To be a good friend open your ears
and heart more often than your mouth.


People don't care how much you know
until they know how much you care.


Have A Beautiful Day!
God Bless You My Friend.

THE CANDY CANE LEGEND

Look at the Candy Cane
What do you see?
Stripes that are red
Like the blood shed for me

White is for my Savior
Who's sinless and pure!
"J" is for Jesus My Lord, that's for sure!

Turn it around
And a staff you will see
Jesus my shepherd
Was born for Me!

Many years ago, a candy maker wanted to make a candy at Christmas time that would serve as a witness to his Christian faith.

He wanted to incorporate several symbols for the birth, ministry and death of Jesus.

He began with a stick of pure white hard candy;
white to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus;
hard to symbolize the solid rock, the foundation of the Church;
firmness to represent the promise of God.

The candy maker made the candy in the form of a "J" to represent the name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior.

He thought it could also represent the staff of the Good Shepherd, with which he reached down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep, have gone astray.

Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candy maker stained it with red stripes. He used three small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received, by which we are healed. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life. Unfortunately, the candy became known as a candy cane - a meaningless decoration seen at Christmas time.

But the true meaning is still there for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.
