"In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare
a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where
I am, there ye may be also." ~John 14:1-3~

My miracle Baby! We've had a tough time from
the very start, but through prayer, determination and love,
we have been sheltered and blessed. Perhaps, that initial
experience prepared us for the years ahead. Life brings
us hard knocks; we don't always get what we deserve - good
or bad. It's how we handle life's challenges that either
defeats us, or makes us victorious. You are an absolutely
beautiful woman with so much love to give; you deserve joy,
happiness, and peace. Your sweet spirit brings sunshine
to our lives, and warmth to our hearts. Be blessed, let
go of life's failures and hurts, cling to those you love
and who love you, cherish your friends and family, but give
your burdens to Jesus.

A friend is someone who dances with you in
the sunlight, and walks beside you in the shadows.
You may forget with whom you laughed, but
you will never forget with whom you wept.

Count your blessings instead of your crosses,
Count you gains instead of your losses,
Count your joys instead of your woes,
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your courage instead of your fears,
Count your laughs 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.
(Irish Blessing)

A Daughter
A daughter is a wonderful blessing,
A treasure from above.
She's laughter, warmth and special charm,
She's thoughtfulness and love.
A daughter brings a special joy,
That comes from deep inside.
And as she grows to adulthood,
She fills your heart with pride.
With every year that passes,
She's more special than before.
Through every stage, through every age,
You love her even more.
No words can describe the warm memories,
The pride and gratitude, too.
That comes from having a daughter,
To love and to cherish... just like you!
|
A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings
because
it has a song!
A careless word may
kindle strife.
A cruel word may
wreck a life.
A timely word
may level stress.
A loving word
may heal and bless.
|
There is never a right way to do the wrong thing.
