Hope
It's magic and it's free ~ Unknown Author ~
I asked God I asked God to take away my pain, ~~~~Author Unknown~~~~ The Difference I got up early one morning Problems just tumbled about
me, I wanted to see joy and
beauty, I tried to come into God's
presence; I woke up early this morning, ~~~Author Unknown~~~ One Night a man had a dream. He
dreamed he was walking along the beach with the
LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from
his life. For each scene; he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand; one belonged to him, and the other
to the LORD. When the last scene of his life
flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in
the sand. He noticed that many times along the
path of his life there was only one set
of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at
the very lowest and saddest times in his
life. This really bothered him and he
questioned the- LORD about it. "LORD, you said
that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk
with me all the way. But I have noticed that
during the most troublesome times in my
life there is only one set of footprints. I don't
understand why when I needed you most you would
leave me." The LORD replied, "My precious,
precious child, I love you and I would never leave
you. During your times of trial and
suffering, when you see only one set of
footprints, it was then that I carried
you." The love
we give away is the only love we keep. - Elbert Hubbard
Smiles Smiles are the precious gems Smiles are the rainbows that appear Parable of a Rose Some don't see the rose within
themselves. I got my Globe at: Adopt your own
rose :
It's not in a prescription
It's not in an IV.
It punctuates out laughter,
It sparkles in our tears,
It simmers under sorrows,
And dissipates our fears,
what Hope is?
It's reaching past today,
It's Do you know dreaming
of tomorrow,a new way,
It's pushing past impossible
It's trying pounding on the door,
questioning the Answers,
It's always seeking more,
It's rumors of a breakthrough,
It's whispers of a cure,
A roller coaster ride
Of remedies, unsure.
Do you know what Hope is?
It's candy for the soul,
It's perfume for the spirit,
To share it, makes you Whole.
God said no,
it is not for me to takeaway,
but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my
handicapped child whole,
God said no,
her spirit is whole her
body is only temporary.
I asked God to give me patience,
God said no,
patience is a by-product
of tribulations it isn`t granted,
it is earned
I asked God to give me happiness,
God said no,
I give you blessings,
happiness is up to you
I asked God to spare me pain ,
God said no,
suffereing draws you
from worldly cares and brings
you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow,
God said no,
you must grow on your own,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God for all the things
I may enjoy in life,
God said no,
I give you life so you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help me love
others like he loves me,
and God said,
finally you have reached the right idea,
of why you are in this world .
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.
and heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered.
He answered, "You didn't ask."
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, "But you didn't seek."
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly said,
"My child, you didn't knock."
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.Footprints
that add a special glow,
And fill the world with sunshine
in spite of daily woe.
Smiles are the soft white clouds
that cushion every blow,
And chase away misgivings
among our friends and foe.
when storms are through;
They turn our pain to joy again;
our courage we'll renew.
Smiles are the bridge between
the darkness and the light;
When sharing them with others,
new friendships we invite.
~~~Author Unknown~~~
Before it blossomed, he examined it.
He saw a bud, that would soon blossom.
He also saw the thorns, and he thought,
"How can any beautiful flower come from a plant,
burdened with so many sharp thorns?"
Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose,
and before it was ready to bloom, it died.
So it is with many people. Within every soul, there is a rose.
The 'God-like' qualities planted in us at birth,
growing amidst the thorns of our faults.
Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the
defects.
We despair, thinking nothing good can possibly come from us.
We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies.
We never realize our potential.
It takes someone else to show it to them.
One of the greatest gifts, a person can possess,
is to be able to reach past the thorns
and find the rose within others.
This is the truest, most innocent, and gracious characteristic of
love....
to know another person, including their faults,
recognize the nobility in their soul, and yet still help
another to realize they can overcome their faults.
If we show them the rose, they will conquer the thorns.
Only then, will they blossom, and most likely,
blooming thirty, sixty, a hundred- fold, as it's given to them.
Our duty in this world, is to help others,
by showing them 'their roses' and not "their thorns."
It is then, that we achieve the love,
we should feel for each other; only then,
can we bloom in our 'own garden.'
