Something
to Ponder
"A
verbal wound is as bad as a physical one"
There once was a little boy who had a
bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he
lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day
the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he
learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually
dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive
those nails into the fence.
Finally, the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his
father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for
each day that he was able to hold his temper. The day passed and the young boy
was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.The father took
his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well,
son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When
you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a
knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm
sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical
one."
Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to
succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to
open their hearts to us.
FOR
ALL BUSY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
"READ THIS, don't just scan
it, It says a lot about life!"
Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone
And I never see my old friend's face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell,
And he rang mine.
If, we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of trying to make a name
"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jim"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner!- yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir-"
"Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
If you love someone, tell them.
Remember always to say what you mean.
Never be afraid to express yourself.
Take this opportunity to tell someone what they mean to you.
Seize the day and have no regrets.
Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today and are what it's all
about anyway.
Pass this along to your friends. Let it make a difference in your day and
theirs. The difference between expressing love and having regrets is
that the regrets may stay around forever.
The
Difference Between Love and Like...
In front of the person you love your heart beats faster
But in front of the person you like you get happy.
In front of the person you love winter seems like spring
But in front of the person you like winter is just beautiful winter.
If you look into the eyes of the one you love you blush
But if you look into the eyes of the one you like you smile.
In front of the person you love you can't say everything on your mind
But in front of the person you like you can.
In front of the person you love you tend to get shy
But in front of the person you like you can show your own self.
You can't look straight into the eyes of the one you love
But you can always smile into the eyes of the one you like.
When the one you love is crying you cry with them
But when the one you like is crying you end up comforting.
The feeling of love starts from the eye
But the feeling of like starts from the ear.
So if you stop liking a person you used to like, all you need to do is
cover your ears.
But if you try to close your eyes, love turns into a drop of tear and
remains in your heart forever after.
..oo00 Don't go for looks' it can deceive;
Don't go for wealth -even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile coz' only a
smile makes a dark day seem bright. 00oo..
Everything Happens for a Reason Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there: to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or help figure out who you are and who you want to become. You never know who these people may be, but when you lock eyes with them, you know that throughout every moment, they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you that may seem at a time horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection, you realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would never have realized your potential, strength, will or power. Everything happens for a reason. The people you meet affect your life. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity, all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, and flat road to no where. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. If someone hurts you, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and about the importance of being cautious with whom you opened your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little "sweet" things.
Make every day count. Appreciate every
moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be
able to experience it again. Hold your head up because you have every right to.
Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you
don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you.
Create your own life and then go out and live it.
Be
Special to Others
"The
power of words"
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell
into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When
they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were
as good as dead.
The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit
with all of their might.
The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good
as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs
were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the
crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped
even harder and finally made it out.
When he got out, the other frogs said, Did you not hear us?"
The frog explained to them that he was deaf.
He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
This story teaches two lessons:
1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging
word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make
it through the day.
2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to
kill them. Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who
cross your path.
The power of words . . . . it is sometimes hard to understand that an
encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that
tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times.
Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage
another.
Be Special To Others.
A
present day truth.
"This
is as insightful as it is scary. It was written by a Columbine High School
student."
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but
shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more,
but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less
time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less
judgment; more experts, but more problems;
more medicine, but less wellness.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too
much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a
living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the
street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not
inner space; we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split
the atom, but not our prejudice.
We have higher incomes, but lower morals; we've become long on quantity,
but short on quality. These are the times of tall men, and short
character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times
of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more
kinds of food,
but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but
broken homes. It is a time when there is much in the show window and
nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to
you, and a time when you can choose either to make a difference.
.. or to just hit delete.
A
Black man once wrote addressing the Whites :
Dear White Fella' a Couple of

When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue

When you sick, you green
When you die , you grey
AND YOU HAVE THE CHEEK TO CALL ME COLOURED!!
Today
Yesterday is a reminder
of days both good and bad,
the trials that taught us lessons
and the good times that we've had.
The future is still waiting
as a dream awaits the night
to become a reality
before the morning light.
The past may bring us memories
through out the years of good and bad.
The future keeps dreams alive
despite our doubts and fears.
But we still have today to
love, laugh, and cry...
So please don't let today pass us by.
Beauty
of a Woman
The beauty of a woman is not in
The clothes she wears
The figure she carries
Or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman
Must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman
Is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman
Is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
The beauty of a woman
With passing years - only grows.
I've learned
that no matter how much I care,
some people just don't care back.
I've learned-
that it takes years to build up trust
and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned-
that it's not what you have in your life
but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned-
that you shouldn't compare
yourself to the best others can do.
I've learned-
that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.
I've learned-
that it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be.
I've learned-
that you should always leave loved ones
with loving words. It may be the last
time you see them.
I've learned-
that you can keep going
long after you think you can't.
I've learned-
that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.
I've learned-
that either you control your attitude
or it controls you.
I've learned-
that regardless of how hot and steamy
a relationship is at first, the passion fades
and there had better be something else to
take its place.
I've learned-
that heroes are the people
who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences.
I've learned-
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I've learned-
that my best friend and I can do anything
or nothing and have the best time.
I've learned-
that sometimes the people you expect
to kick you when you're down
will be the ones to help you get back up.
I've learned-
that sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me
the right to be cruel.
I've learned-
that true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I've learned-
that maturity has more to do with
what types of experiences you've had
and what you've learned from them
and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.
I've learned-
that no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a
while and you must forgive them for that.
I've learned-
that no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned-
that just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do.
I've learned-
that two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.
I've learned-
that even when you think you have no more
to give, when a friend cries out to you,
you will find the strength to help.
I've learned-
that it's hard to determine where to draw
the line between being nice and not hurting
people's feelings and standing up
for what you believe.
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is
not an act but habit.
-Aristotle

Love
lead the Way
A woman came out of her hous and saw 3 old men with long white
beards sitting in her front yard.She did not recognize them.
She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry.
Please come in and have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?",they asked.
"No", she said. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in",they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"
The woman went out and invited the men in.
"We do not go into a House together," they replied.
"Why is that?" she wanted to know.
One of the old men explained:"His name is Wealth," he said
pointing to one of his friends,and said pointing to another one,
"He is Success, and I am Love."
Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which
one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said.
Her husband was overjoyed."How nice!!", he said. "Since that is
the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with
wealth!"
His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"
Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the
house. She jumped in with her own suggestion:
"Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be
filled with love!"
"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife.
"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you
is Love? Please come in and be our guest."Love got up and started
walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him.
Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love,
Why are you coming in?"
The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success,
the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited
Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love,
there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!"
MY WISH FOR EACH OF YOU...

there is self-doubting,
I wish you a renewed confidence in Your
Ability to work through them.
Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion,
I wish you understanding, patience,and renewed strength.
Where there is fear,
I wish you love, and courage.
A fascinating storyTwo men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.
One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain
the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The
other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours
on end.They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs,
their involvement in the military service,where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window
could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and
colour of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their
model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every colour of the rainbow.
Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other
side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died
peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body
away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch,and after making sure he was
comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly,painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take
is first look at the world outside.
Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the
window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have
compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this
window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."
Epilogue. . . . There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own
situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you have that money can't buy.
"Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present." The origin of this letter is unknown, but it brings good luck to everyone who passes it on. Do not keep this letter. Just forward it to five or more of your friends to whom you wish good.
If you are a cracked pot!!!!
A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried
across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house, the cracked
pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering
only one and a half pots full of water in his master's house. Of course, the perfect pot was
proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of
myself, and I want to apologize to you." "Why?" asked the bearer.
"What are you ashamed of?" "I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my
load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master's
house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from
your efforts," the pot said. The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his
compassion he said, "As we return to the master's house, I want you to notice the beautiful
flowers along the path." Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of
the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered
it some. But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologized to the bearer for its failure. The bearer
said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not
on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I took
advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk
back from the stream, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these
beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table. Without you being just the way you are, he
would not have this beauty to grace his house." Each of us has our own unique flaws. We are allcracked pots. But if we will allow it, the Lord will use our flaws to grace His table. In God's
great economy, nothing goes to waste. So as we seek ways to minister together, and as God calls
you to the tasks. He has appointed for you, don't be afraid of your flaws. Acknowledge them,
and allow Him to take advantage of them, and you, too, can be the cause of beauty in His
pathway. Go out boldly, knowing that in our weakness we find His strength, and that "In Him
every one of God's promises is a Yes."
Love comes in all
forms
John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his Army uniform, and studied the crowd of people Making their way through Grand Central Station.He looked for the girl whose heart he knew but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose. His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in
a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words
of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin.The soft handwriting reflected a
thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous
owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in
New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond.The next
day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II. During the next year and one month the
two grew to knoweach other through the mail.
Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day
finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting- 7:00 PM at the
Grand Central Station in New York. "You'll recognize me", she wrote, "by the red rose I will be
wearing on my lapel."
So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd
never seen. I'll let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened. A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue a flowers. Her lips
and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I
moved, a small provocative smile curved her lips. "Going my way, sailor?" she murmured. Almost
uncontrollably, I made one step closer to her, and then saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing
almost directly behind the girl. A woman wellpast 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn
hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankle feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in
the green suit was walking quickly away.
I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was
my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own.And there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes
had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue
leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be
something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been
and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the
woman,even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment. "I'm
Lieutenant John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me, may I take you to dinner?" The woman's face broadened into a
tolerant smile. " I don't know what this is about son," she answered, " but the young lady in
the green suit who just went by she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you
were to ask me out to dinner, I should tell you that she is waiting for you in the big
restaurant across the street. She said this was some kind of test!" It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's
wisdom.The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive. "Tell me whom you love," Houssaye wrote, " and I will tell you who you are."
A SMILE
A Smile, costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who
receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a
moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is
so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none
is so poor but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates
happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is
the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary,
cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is nature's
best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged,
borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to
anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give
you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so
much as he who has no more to give.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.
So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream."
