Be an angel today! Practice a random act of kindness.
No-one else need know what you do, but the result
will defiantly be felt by someone.

Love Is...
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful
or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not
irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing,
but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
- Corinthians 13:4-7

It will not matter what my bank account was,
the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove.
But the world may be different because
I was important in the life of a child

joy.
Trouble is temporary; happiness is eternal'

The best portion of a good man's life is in his little

unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

To give real service you must add something which cannot

Beauty, truth, friendship, love, creation -
these are the great values of life.
We can't prove them, or explain them,
yet they are the most stable things in our lives.

A Friend is...A Treasure
A Friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift
A friend is someone we treasure
For our friendship is a gift
A friend is someone who fills our lives
With beauty, joy, and grace
And makes the world that we live in
A better and happier place.
The Golden Rule
Treat people the way you want to be treated.
The Golden Rule has no inches or feet,
yet it is the measure of us all.
Courtesy is simply doing unto others
what you would like them to do unto you.
In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities.
- Janos Arany

The only time an angel weeps is when her song falls on deaf ears.

The heart has no secret which our conduct does
not reveal. ~~~~~~~
All people commend patience, although few are willing
to practice it.
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.
There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

Affects not only our lives, but touches others too.
A single happy smile can always brighten up the day,
For anyone who happens to be passing by your way.
And a little bit of thoughtfulness that shows
someone you care,
Creates a ray of sunshine for both of you to share.
Yes, every time you offer someone a helping hand,
Every time you show a friend that you understand,
Every time you have a kind and gentle word to give,
You help someone to find beauty in this precious life
we live.
For happiness brings happiness and loving ways bring love,
And giving is the treasure, that contentment is made of.
ones with loving words and hugs. It may be the
last time you see them."
two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is yesterday with all its mistakes and cares,
its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed;
we cannot erase a single word we said.
yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow
with all its possible adversities,
its burdens, its large promise and its poor performance;
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise,
either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds,
but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow,
for it is yet to be born.
This leaves only one day, today.
Any person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities
Yesterday and tomorrow , that we break down.
Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time.
Not from his head to be thought of only,
Nor from his hand to be owned,
Nor from his foot to be beneath,
BUT from under his arm to be protected,
From his side to be equal,
And from his heart to be loved."

Is a little like expecting the bull not
