If This is to be a Happy New Year ...:
If this is to be a Happy New Year, a year of usefulness,
a year in which we shall live to make this earth better,
it is because God will direct our pathway.
How important then, to feel our dependence upon Him!

Glenn H. Asquith:
Dating from Easter, life took on a newness which made it a different kind of
life not known before - life that will not be content until all the world
comes alive. Despair is death, and despair faded from the minds of men
who believed. Fear is death, and fear no longer invaded the still
hours. Cowardice is death, and cowardice ceased to be a part of those
who knew Easter.

Depth of Mercy:
Depth of mercy! Can there be mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God his wrath forbear, me, the chief of sinners, spare?
I have long withstood his grace, long provoked him to his face, would not
hearken to his calls, grieved him by a thousand falls.
I my Master have denied, I afresh have crucified, oft profaned his hallowed
name, put him to an open shame.
There for me the Savior stands, shows his wounds and spreads his hands.
God is love!
I know, I feel; Jesus weeps and loves me still.
Now incline me to repent, let me now my sins lament,
now my foul revolt deplore, weep, believe, and sin no more.

Someone Cares:
I can see that you are troubled--a friend can always tell--
and thinking of you hurting makes me hurt as well.
I'm sure I'll never understand exactly how you feel,
I only hope you know that my concern for you is real.
I wish that there was something helpful I could do to take away the burden that is weighing down on you.
Although I cannot fix things, this I can extend--
my loving thoughts,
my heartfelt prayers for you,
my special friend.

Angels:
Friends are angels who lift us to our feet
when our wings have trouble
remembering how to fly.

Fool:
A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.

Women:
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up for injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without new shoes so their children can have them.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all S I Z E S , in all c o l o r s and shapes .
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.
This has been sent to you from someone who respects you as a woman.
Pass it along to your woman friends to remind them how amazing they are.

Dust:
I can't tell you how many countless hours that I have spent CLEANING! I used to spend at least 8-12 hours EVERY weekend making sure things were just perfect--"in case someone came over". Then I realized one day that no one came over - they were all out living life - having fun. Now, when people visit I find no need to explain the "condition" of my home - they are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing--while I was away living life and having fun!

If you haven't figured this out yet - please heed this advice. Life is short - enjoy it!

Dust if you must but wouldn't it be better, To paint a picture or write a letter, Bake a cake or plant a seed, Ponder the difference between want and need?

Dust if you must but there's not much time, With rivers to swim and mountains to climb, Music to hear and books to read, Friends to cherish and life to lead.

Dust if you must but the world's out there With the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, A flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This day will not come around again.

Dust if you must but bear in mind, Old age will come and it's not kind. And when you go and go you must, You, yourself, will make more dust.

Remember, a house becomes a home when you can write "I love you" on the furniture....

Share this with all the wonderful women in your life! (I Just Did)

The True Meaning of Christmas:
Teach the Children ...

Teach them the old meaning of Christmas
That seems to have been forgotten

Teach them that ...

The shining star is ...
the heavenly sign of promise long ago.
The countless stars at night now show
that God sent us a Savior long ago

Red is the first color of Christmas
To remind us of the blood Christ shed for all of us

The Christmas Tree ...

is the second color of Christmas
Green all year long to symbolize hope
Needles pointing heavenward
to remind us to turn our thoughts toward heaven

The Christmas Bell ...

Used to find lost sheep
Now reminds us
To return to the "fold" for guidance

Candles and Christmas lights ...

show our thanks
for the star long ago
Small lights to mirror the star light long ago

Bows on our presents ...

represent Good Will Forever
Just as the bows tie our packages together
so are all men tied together in good will

Candy canes ...

A shepherd's crook
To bring the strays back to the fold
and remind us that we are our brother's keepers

A Christmas Wreath ...

A perfect round
Never beginning and never ending
Just like love ... ours and God's
