Life is like a book with many different chapters.
Some tell of tragedy, others of triumph.  Some chapters are dull and ordinary,
others intense and exciting.

The key to being a success in life is to never
stop on a difficult page, to never quit on a tough chapter.

Champions have the courage to keep turning
the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.

As the road ahead seems rugged
And the path is getting steep,
I feel that I can’t make it
So my heart begins to weep.

Then I turn to see who’s coming
To join me on my way.
I see it is my Lord
And He slowly turns to say

"Lean on me…..
When you have no strength to stand.
When you feel you’re going under,
Hold tighter to My hand.

Lean on me……
When your heart begins to bleed.
When you know I’m all you have,
Then you’ll find I’m all you need."

Then when I felt that no one cared
If I lived or died,
And no one bothered asking why
I’d go alone to cry.

When the burden got so heavy
I could barely face the day,
I felt His arms around me
As I gently heard Him say

"Lean on me……
When you have no strength to stand.
When you feel you’re going under,
Hold tighter to My hand.

Lean on me……
When your heart begins to bleed.
When you come to know I’m all you have,
Then you’ll find I’m all you need."

For today…

Smile at a stranger.
Listen to someone’s heart.

Drop a coin where a child can find it.
Learn something new, then teach it to someone.
Tell someone you’re thinking of them.

Hug a loved one.
Don’t hold a grudge.
Don’t be afraid to say "I’m sorry".

Look a child in the eye and tell them how great they are.
Look beyond the face of a person into their heart.
Make a promise, and keep it.

Call someone, for no other reason than to just say "hi".
Show kindness to an animal.
Stand up for what you believe in.

Smell the rain, feel the breeze, listen to the wind.
Use all your senses to their fullest.
Cherish all your today’s!

"And now abide faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 13:13)

I Your presence is a gift to the world,
You’re unique and one of a kind.

Your life can be what you want it to be.
Take it one day at a time.

Count your blessings, not your troubles,
And you’ll make it through what comes along.

Within you are so many answers.
Understand, have courage, be strong.

Don’t put limits on yourself.
Your dreams are waiting to be realized.

Don’t leave your important decisions to chance.
Reach for your peak, your goal, and your prize.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying.
The longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets.

Don’t take things too seriously.
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.

Remember that a little love goes a long way.
Remember that a lot goes forever.

Remember that friendship is a wise investment,
Life’s treasures are people… together.

Have health and hope and happiness.

And don’t ever forget for even a day…
How very special YOU are!

God has created you for a purpose.

You did not come from apes.
You are wonderfully and beautifully made.

Make sure you make a difference where you are and you do it today.

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood
he received during a heart surgery in 1983.
From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:
‘Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease’?

To this Arthur Ashe replied:

‘The world over — 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis,
500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals,
when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD ‘Why me?’.
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD ‘Why me?’ ‘

‘Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failure keeps you humble,
Success keeps you glowing,

but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going…

Keep it up guys….

Learn to love with all your heart and accept the unlovable side of others.
For anyone can love a rose, but only a great heart can include the thorns.

God never says, “do this!” “do that!” He never bullies us. Instead,
He reaches out for your hand & lovingly says, “My child, I’m here. We will do this together.”

Life is not like a train, that when you miss it, you can say, “I’ll catch the next one.”
Never waste the opportunity to love it and have fun because this joy ride passes just once.

Today, choose to be gentle rather than forceful.
If you raise your voice, may it be only in praise.
If you clench your fist, may it be only in the fervor of prayer.
If you make a demand, may it be only of yourself. A fruitful day be yours!

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight and wipes the wrinkles away.
Hope you share a lot and receive a lot of smiles today! Here’s one from me… =)

When days are dark and nights are long
and your faith is fading,
look up there is a ray of hope.
The Father of light is calling you
by your name from above.

He hears your heart cries and He feels
your pain, help is on the way.
Your best years are ahead of you,
for God has plans of hope and a bright future for you.

When days are dark
they are a prelude to many days of light that is just ahead of you.
When days are dark, keep looking up and praying
for the dawning of day in your life.
God your Father will see you through when days are dark.

When your strength is failing
and you are faltering in your faith
pause for a moment, take a deep breath
and God your Father who is the source
of your strength, will refresh and re-kindle your faith.

Remember the battle is not yours,
it is the Lord’s battle, and He is
fighting for you.

Don’t ever forget to wait on the Lord.
God will continually give you strength
to overcome every trial and sustain you
in your weakest moments.
