With Christ, there's plenty of hope to go around!
Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod
God believes in me; therefore my situation is never hopeless.
God walks with me; therefore I am never alone.
God is on my side; therefore I can never loose.
Pray together and we stay together, and if we stay
together, we'll love each other as God himself loves you
Mother Teresa
The greatest glory in life is not in never falling,
but in getting up each time that you do fall.
Go break to the needy sweet charity's bread;
"For giving is living," the angel said.
"And must I be giving again and again?"
My peevish and pitiless answer ran.
"Oh no," said the angel, piercing me through,
"Just give till the Master stops giving to you."

Before we go looking for hidden messages in the bible,
shouldn't we start trying to live by the ones which are
clearly laid out?

Jesus is the rock
& I am on the roll
Every lady is a woman but
Every woman is not a lady.

Every gentleman is a man but
Every man is not a gentleman.

Don't walk in back of me
I may not lead
Don't walk in front of me
I may not follow
Just walk beside me
and be my friend
God knows just how long to let the cake bake!
May he who has chosen to limit some of his children
be merciful enough to guide the hands of us
entrusted with their care.
We don't believe in miracles, we rely upon them
If you spread your dreams before you like a stairway to the sky -
-No star you ever reach for will ever be too high!
Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.
- Karen Ravin-
To laugh often and much,
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children...
to leave the world a bit better...
to know even one life had breathed easier
because you had lived,
that is to have succeeded.
adapted from an original verse
by Bessie Anderson Stanley
Of all the means which wisdom uses to ensure happiness
throughtout the whole of life, by far the most important is
the acquisition of friends.

In the quiet of our own hearts, and minds,
as well as in the fellowship of others,
we hear the stirrings of our own spirituality.

I believe in the big bang theory.
God spoke and there was a big BANG!
A Prayer for Those We Love
Almighty God, we entrust all who are dear to us
to Thy never-failing care and love,
for this and the life to come;
knowing that Thou art doing for them
better things than we can desire or pray for;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
- from Jacquie
It's impossible to forgive any deeper than you admit the hurt.
Love does not tell everything it sees.
Have courage for the great sorrows in life and patience for the
small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily
task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.
A hundred years from now...It will not matter what my bank account was,
or 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.

Love one another
And help those in need,
Regardless of color,
Race, church or creed.

Games can't be won
Unless they are played,
And prayers can't be answered
Unless they are prayed.

We love the sound of laughter
And the merriment of cheer,
But our hearts would lose their tenderness
If we never shed a tear.
Helen Steiner Rice
We are all God's children,
And He loves us every one,
And completely forgives
All that we have done.

Irish saying spotted in Killarny shop: "Get down on your knees,
and thank God you're on your feet."
The Declaration of Independence states that the Creator gave man
the right to liberty. It seems man can realize that liberty only
if he does not forget the One who endowed him with it.

Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny!!!
