I’d stop looking and start seeing,
And treat everyone as a human being.

I’d stop taking and start giving,
Stop hiding and start living.
I’d do more listening and a lot less talking,

Happiness is something we create in our mind,
It’s not something you search for. It’s just waking up and beginning the day.
By counting our blessings and kneeling to pray.

To my dearest family,
Some things I would like to say,
But first of all, to let you know
That I arrived ok.

I asked the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way….

I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend

He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning…to the end.

As you travel through life
there are always those times
when decisions just have to be made
when the choices are hard,
and solutions seem scarce
and the rain seems
to soak your parade!

Hold on to Faith;
it is the source of believing that all things are possible.
It is the fiber and strength of a confident soul.

When you are lonely
I wish you love.

When you are down
I wish you joy.

Is it any wonder
That lovers’ hearts grow dim,
When they do not hold in honor,
The love that’s found within?

Pray, don’t find fault with the man that limps
Or stumbles along the road.
Unless you have worn the shoes he wears
Or struggled beneath his load.
