My thought for today comes from Shirley12704 on her post in Help me get through treatment (They say we are brave).It is a wonderful post started by Saskia who lives in Western Australia. Take a few minutes and read their thoughts.

A good character is the best tombstone.

Those who loved you and were helped

by you will remember you when

forget-me-nots have withered.

Carve your name on hearts,

not on marble.

Whatever you are facing today
remember that God loves you more
than you could begin to grasp.
You are welcomed into His presence,
just come as you are,
you can even bring your coffee!

"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more commonplace then unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent."..Calvin Coolidge

There are two ways of spreading

" For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone."
-- Audrey Hepburn --

Mind is the master planner that molds and makes
And man is mind and forever more he takes,

The tools of thought and shaping what he wills
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills

He thinks in secret and it comes to pass
His environment is but his looking glass!!!....James Allen

He who thanks but with the lips

Thanks but in part;

The full, the true Thanksgiving

Comes from the heart.

Walk With A Friend
Contributed by dazedconfused
Author: Unknown


I cannot ease your aching heart,
nor take your pain away,
but let me stay and take your hand
and walk with you today!
I'll listen when you need to talk;
I'll wipe away your tears.
I'll share your worries when they come;
I'll help you face your fears.
I'm here and I will stand by you,
Each hill you have to climb,
So take my hand, let's face the world;
Live one day at a time!
You're not alone, for I'm still here.
I'll go that extra mile,
and when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile!

I pray that each one of us is blessed with a friend like this

Anne

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth
find reserves of strength that
will endure as long as life lasts.
