A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on the end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots was perfectly made and never leaked.

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

If there is a future there is time for mending-
Time to see your troubles coming to an ending.

We all have days,
where getting out of bed is just too hard to do
And facing the world,
including all of life’s complications…

Do not… undermine your worth by comparing
yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Because of you I can see just how bright the sun can be,
Because of you I can turn into a butterfly,
I can fly into the sky, make a wish,
That you are close when I whisper your name.

When you feel unlovable, unworthy and unclean,
When you think that no one can heal you,
Remember, Friend,
God Can.

Follow this advice and you can improve your life:

Always remember that you are loved,
even when it doesn’t seem like it.

God is a little like General Electric,
He lights your path.
God is a little like Bayer Aspirin,
He works wonders.
