LIFE'S LITTLE LESSONS...

Don't go for looks, they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile.

There are moments in life
when you really miss someone
that you want to pick them up
from your dreams and hug them.
Hope you dream of that someone.
Dream what you want to dream,
go where you want to go,
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things
you want in life.

May you have...
Enough happiness to make you sweet
Enough trials to make you strong
Enough sorrow to keep you human
Enough hope to make you happy
And enough money to buy gifts.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens.
But we often took so long at the closed door,
that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the one
you could sit on a porch, swing with,
never saying a word and then walk away feeling
like that was the best conversation you've had.

It's true that we don't know
what we've got until we lose it,
but it's also true that we don't know what
we've been missing until it arrives.

Always put yourself in other's shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably does hurt the person too.
A careless word may kindle a strife;
A cruel word may wreck a life
A timely word may level stress
A lovely word may heal and bless.

The beginning of love is to let those we love
be perfectly themselves and
not to twist them with our own image,
otherwise we love only the reflection
of ourselves we find in them.

The happiest people don't necessarily
have the best of everything,
they just make the most of everything
that comes along the way.
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people
before meeting the right one so that
when we finally meet the right person,
we should know how to be grateful for that gift.
It takes a minute to have a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone and a day to love someone
- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Happiness lies for those who cry,
those who hurt,
those who have searched
and those who have tried.
For only they can appreciate the importance
of people who have touched their lives.

Love is when you take away the feeling,
the passion, the romance
and find out you still care for that person.
A sad thing about life is that when you meet
someone who means a lot to you
only to find out in the end that it was never
bound to be and you just have to let go.

Love starts with a smile,
develops with a kiss
and ends with a tear.
Love comes to those who still hope
even though they've been disappointed,
to those who still believe
even though they've been betrayed,
need to love those who still love,
even though they've been hurt before.
It hurts to love someone,
and not to be loved in return
but what is most painful is to love someone
and never finds the courage
to let the person know how you feel.

The brightest future will always
be based on a forgotten past.
You can't go on well in life until you let go
of your past failures and heartaches.

Never say goodbye when you still want to try;
Never give up when you still feel you can take it;
Never say you don't love that person anymore
when you can't let go.

Giving someone all your love
is never an assurance that they'll love you back.
Don't expect love in return,
just wait for it to grow in their hearts
but if it doesn't,
be content it grew in yours.

There are things you love to hear
but you would never hear it from
the person whom you would like to hear it from,
but don't be deaf to hear it from the person
who says it with his heart.

When you were born, you were crying
and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life to the fullest so that when you die,
you're smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Dear friend, I saw on another page that your husband is battling lymphonma cancer. I want to lift you both up in prayer. I am facing a progresive neuro muscular desease so I have a passion to pray for other who are facing physical aflictions. God has shown me not to worry about the future, but to seek him each day for strength and grace. I also alway hope and believe for healing because love always hopes. So Father I lift up this dear sister and her husband before you and pray for healing and restoration for for my brother, for your honor and your glory in Jesus name.

If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won't survive the week.

If you have never experienced
the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture or
the pangs of starvation,
you are ahead of 20 million people
around the world.

If you can attend a church meeting
without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost
three billion people in the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back, a roof over
your head and a place to sleep,
you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank,
in your wallet, and spare change
in a dish someplace, you are among
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If your parents are still married and alive,
you are very rare, especially in this World
today.

If you hold up your head with a smile
on your face and are truly thankful,
you are blessed because the majority can,
but most do not.

If you can hold someone's hand, hug them
or even touch them on the shoulder,
you are blessed because you can
offer God's healing touch.

If you can read this message,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world
that cannot read anything at all.

You are so blessed in ways
you may never even know.

Dear John,
We will pray and we believe God will heal.
Duncan

In the love of jesus.

John & Susan,
Just wondering how things are going? Let me know when you have a moment. Deborah.

John & Susan,
How are things going with you guys? I'm still lifting up your needs to the throne of grace. Love in Jesus, Debbie

Dear friend! The Bible encourages us to seek God early in the morning. Those who seek God early in the morning receive the grace of God and do well in life.

In the Bible we see that God commanded Moses to get ready and come into His presence early in the morning (Exodus 34:2). Moses sought the Lord early in the morning and God gave him the wisdom and power and authority to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

King David was a person who sought the Lord diligently early in the morning (1 Samuel 17:20; Ps 5:3; 63:1). It was the early morning meditation that gave David the assurance that God was with him and he was able to defeat Goliath. Even after becoming the King of Israel, he sought the Lord diligently early in the morning and never failed to seek Him. Even the prophet Isaiah has said that God awoke him every morning (Isaiah 50:4). All these men were ordinary people but because they sought the Lord early in the morning, they received the wisdom, grace, strength and power to do mighty things for Him.

Beloved! The Lord desires to bless you with His wisdom, power and strength to do mighty things for Him. If you too would meditate on the Word of God and wait in His presence for His guidance, you will find God empowering you with His wisdom, courage and strength and knowledge and the world will be in awe of you.

When you seek the Lord early in the morning, He shall bestow His grace on you. The Bible says, “Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not” (Lamentations 3:22).

As you meditate on the Word, the Holy Spirit will teach you the Word. When the Holy Spirit teaches you, you will surpass the worldly people in knowledge and skill and wisdom. The Lord will use you to do mighty exploits for His glory and make you a blessing to the world.

John & Susan,
Be blessed! We are still praying,

Dear sister this is wonderful, may the Lord continue to give John grace through the rest of his treatments, knowing that our prayers are for full recovery in the name of Jesus.
In the love of Jesus.
Bob

Psalm 28:8 The LORD is their strength, And He is a saving defense to His anointed.

Psalm 20:6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand.

Psalm 27:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?

Psalm 89:17 For You are the glory of their strength, And by Your favor our horn is exalted.

Psalm 140:7 "O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle.

Father thankyou for your promices to your children in your Word, I praise you that today we will all find your grace and help in what ever situation we find ourselves in and be quick to give you praise for all the great things you are doing in and through our lives.
In the love of Jesus.
Bob
