    Our chief want in life is somebody
    who shall make us do what we can;
    this is the service of a friend.

    If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.

    People are like stained-glass windows.
    They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
    but when the darkness sets in,
    their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

    I have stayed here too long today but would not give back one minute.

    Finding this thread of Inspiration and Prayers is like finding the cool greens of a forest, sweet smelling pines with soft breezes after a walk over a desolate desert.
    You all are amazing.
    My spirit is truly lifted and at peace today. Major Peace.

    Thank you from my heart!

    A little girl knelt to pray. She said the ABCs. Then she told her mother that God could take the letters and form them into the right words.

    Cheryl, I am so glad that you have found comfort in this thread. Inspirations/Prayers is meant to be just that. It makes us feel "at home". And Jan, I loved your thought. It made me smile at the simple truth of it's message.

    Do you know what Hope is?
    It's magic and it's free
    It's not in a prescription
    It's not in an IV.
    It punctuates our laughter
    It sparkles in our tears
    It simmers under sorrows
    And dissipates our fears.
    Do you know what Hope is?
    It's reaching past today
    It's dreaming of tomorrow
    It's trying a new way.
    It's pushing past Impossible
    It's pounding on the door
    It's questioning the Answers
    It's always seeking more.
    It's rumors of a breath
    It's whispers of a cure
    A roller coaster ride of remedies unsure.
    Do you know what Hope is?
    It's candy for the soul,
    It's perfume for the spirit,
    To share it, makes you whole.

    I always find comfort and peace with this thread. I'm so glad you've joined us Cheryl ~ your poem was beautiful and I hope you will post on a regular basis. Cherie, yesterday's thought really spoke to me, and Odalys, I loved the two links. Debby it is a treat every day to find a "chocolate" left by you from your "life is like a box of chocolates". Every day there is a new treasure to be found here that starts a day or ends a day on an uplifting, positive note. Sharing these thoughts inspires.

    Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

    Do you all feel like I do, all the wonderful
    thoughts, poems and expressions of caring and love and encouragement put here each day are like hugs from above.

    Each and every one of you that leaves gems and jewel in the path for others to discover, I found this for you ~

    image

    There’s a road called life

    We each walk every day

    And sometimes we encounter

    Stones left in our way.

    image

    Left by a careless traveler,

    They sometimes cause us to fall,

    Then down on our knees

    In Jesus name we call.

    image

    He gently picks us up

    Saying, " Child can’t you see?

    You can remove the stones

    By always following Me.

    image

    And you can leave stones

    For others to find

    Or you can leave gems

    Each one of a kind.

    image

    For you are the stones

    Or you are gems rare,

    It all depends on you

    If for others you care."

    image

    So, polish your gems

    And spread them wide,

    You'll leave no stones

    With Jesus by your side.

    Lora Cox

    hugs,
    Carrie

    The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up. ~Mark Twain

    Happiness is a form of courage. ~Holbrook Jackson

    We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. ~Frederick Keonig
