* REFLECTIONS 02-11-13

It`s funny how hello 
always ends with a goodbye,

it`s funny how good memories
can start to make you cry.

It`s funny how forever
never really seems to last,

it`s funny how much you`d lose
if you forgot about your past.

It`s funny how friends
can just leave you when you`re down,

it`s funny how when you need someone
they`re never around.

It`s funny how people 

change 

and think they`re so much better,

it`s funny how many lies 

can be packed in one 

"love letter".

It`s funny how people forgive
even though they can't forget,

it`s funny how one night
can contain so much regret.

It`s funny how ironic
life turns out to be

but the funniest part of all,
none of that`s funny to me.

 

Not everyone 

possesses boundless energy 

or a conspicuous talent.
We are not equally blessed 

with great intellect

 or physical beauty or
emotional strength. 

But we have all been given

 the same ability

 to be faithful.

~ Gigi Graham Tchividjian

"The one who will be 

found in trial 

capable of great acts of love 

is ever the one 

who is
always doing 

considerate small ones."

-Frederick William Robertson

You can accomplish 

great things, 

yet you must always do it
one moment at a time. 

Today is filled 

with a wealth of those
moments. 

Cease them.

~ Unknown

They say 

you cannot change yesterday 

nor can one control tomorrow. 

But you can live right now 

to the fullest. 

Accept this day 

as another gift 

and make the best 

of every single moment 

that you have in it.

~ Unknown

When it is dark enough,
you can see the stars. 

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

TO BE LOVED BY YOU

Love that's worth fighting for

That's what this is

And how, how could I want more

Than the warmth of your kiss

No matter how many miles and dreams

Come between us now

In each step I take, with each prayer I make

This Love will live somehow

 Let the mountains rise I will climb them all

When my body's weak, I will not fall

Baby come what may I'll find a way to get through

There's nothing that I won't do

To be loved by you

 There will be lonely nights

When you'll whisper my name

Know on those lonely nights, I'll be doing the same

Should every star in the sky go out

Just keep your faith alive

We were meant to be, this is destiny

It cannot be denied

 And even when we're world's apart

Just keep this promise in your heart

Thought for TODAY 

There once was a farmer who discovered that he had lost his watch in the barn. It was no ordinary watch because it had sentimental value for him. After searching high and low among the hay for a long while; he gave up and enlisted the help of a group of children playing outside the barn. 

He promised them that the person who found it would be rewarded. 

Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went through and around the entire stack of hay but still could not find the watch. Just when the farmer was about to give up looking for his watch, a little boy went up to him and asked to be given another chance. 

The farmer looked at him and thought, "Why not? After all, this kid looks sincere enough." 

So the farmer sent the little boy back in the barn. After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand! The farmer was both happy and surprised and so he asked the boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed. 

The boy replied, "I did nothing but sit on the ground and listen. In the silence, I heard the ticking of the watch and just looked for it in that direction." 

Moral: 

A peaceful mind can think better than a worked up mind. Allow a few minutes of silence to your mind every day, and see, how sharply it helps you to set your life the way you expect it to be!
