I Believe..

Have a seat....relax...and read this slowly. It kind of sums it all up.......... I believe - That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I believe - That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I believe - That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love. I believe - That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I believe - That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be and that's O.K. I believe - That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I believe - That you can keep going long after you think you can't. I believe - That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. I believe - That either you control your attitude or it controls you. I believe - That regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place. I believe - That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. I believe - That money is a lousy way of keeping score. I believe - That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time. I believe - That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up. I believe - That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel. I believe - That just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. I believe - That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated. I believe - That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I believe - That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief. I believe - That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. I believe - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do. I believe - That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever. I believe - That two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I believe - That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you. I believe - That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help. I believe - That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being. I believe - That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I believe that You should tell Your Friends and loved one just how much You love them, today.
God bless You,

The Body..

God has put the body together in such a way that he gives greater dignity to the parts that lack it. So that there will be no disagreements within the body, but that all the parts will be equally concerned for all the others. Thus if one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; and if one part is honored, all the parts share its happiness. Now, you together constitute the body of Messiah, and individually you are parts of it. {I want to thank each of My Friend's here, and my Husband for the material that You send me. You give me such good ideas, You are my inspiration to share this blog. You are each special to me and are appreciated so much in my life. I am blessed by You. If You want to post here contact me and I'll add You so that You can do that. God bless You always}.

Who's behind the keyboard?

Do you remember sitting in a chat room, watching people chat, or even chatting yourself? Do you remember receiving so many forwards that your mailbox was ready to explode? How about receiving an e-mail from someone just searching for a friend. Did you wonder who these people might be that are behind the keyboard? Online we meet new people from all around the world. Some we chat with just once and then we go on. Others we chat with time and time again, and a friendship is made. Others become our e-mail buddies, and we look forward to their e-mails each day, but have you ever really wondered who was really behind the keyboard? So often we meet a friend in chat we stay up all night chatting, sometimes we laugh so hard we cannot type, other times we cry and our keyboards are stained from tears. We chat about our lives and help solve each others' problems, we lend a shoulder if we can. Did you ever think to yourself, who is really behind that keyboard? Did you ever chat with someone that promised you the world and that your friendship will be forever, and then they are gone? Do you forget about them and move on, or do you wonder "who was that person really, that was behind the keyboard? Have you ever hid behind your keyboard, pretending to be something you are not, just to boost your ego? As you sat there and typed have you ever lied, thinking "who cares, the person behind the keyboard, it is only a fake person?" Did you ever hurt someone thinking "it's only a game"?Well, behind each and every keyboard is very real people, some might be heartless cold people, not caring who they hurt, but then there are people that are caring, loyal, honest and all kinds of people hoping for some companionship online.Behind the keyboard can be someone who is seriously depressed and their only hope is to make a friend, maybe an aging person who once had a family, but now they live too far apart to see one another, perhaps there is someone that cannot walk anymore or a person so ill they are in the house forever. As we enter the world of the Internet we should remember, it is a very real world and behind each and every keyboard is a person who has a heart. No one has a life that is pain free, so as we go online whether in chat or just e-mailing, we must remember to treat each person the way the we want to be treated, to respect each others' feelings, and to offer friendship, because the truth is we really do not know who is behind the keyboard or what kind of hurt someone may be feeling. To be the best to others that you can be should be the "key" to a good, honest life. Love, Someone behind a keyboard. Thank Hollie.. God bless You

Jesus My Strength..

Jesus is the strength that beats within my Heart, T'is the beat of His unfailing love that sets me apart. Tho' darkness may beset me with fury and might, Nothing can extinguish the power of His eternal light. It burns with an everlasting flame of inner peace, That forever promises of freedom and release. Tho' the world may buffet me with relentless sorrow, I know my hand, my life, is in the gift of His tomorrow. Tho' I may stumble or fall, as weariness seems to flow, T'is when I am weakest, His presence within will surely grow. I can rise up each morning filled with this assurance, That His serenity will surround me in every circumstance. There is nothing that His steadfast love for me cannot prevail, For He loved with commitment, with each and every nail.I can definitely face each tomorrow without worry, without fear,Knowing my name was in His heart, as the Cross He did bear..." For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever , and his faithfulness continues to each generation." (Psalm 100:5 NLT)" The unfailing love of the Lord never ends!" (Lamentations 3:22 NLT)" The Lord has not stopped showing his kindness to the living and the dead." (Ruth 2:20 NIV)" The LORD is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him." (Exodus 15:2 NKJV)" I will thank you, Lord with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High." (Psalm 9:1-2 NLT)" The Lord is gracious and merciful; slow to anger and great in his lovingkindness. The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are over all his works." (Psalm 145:8-9 NASB)" I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your Hearts, living within you friends as you trust and keep your Faith in Him."" There is no fear in love, for perfect love casts out fear" (1 John 4:18)" Today I sense God filling me with a new joy."" My Faith removes limitations and replaces the fear of the future with the activity of Love."" If I ride the morning winds to the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me." (Psalm 139:9)" Lord, you have crowned us with glory and honor." (Psalm 8:5)" I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)" Courage fills my find and my Heart, for I know in truth that God is my rock, refuge, and my strength upon this life on earth."" Watch, stand fast in faith, be brave, be strong." (1 Corinthians 16:13)" I am brave, for God's power is greater than any situation I could possibly face today or tomorrow."" The bottom line in my life is Faith, not fear."" Through prayer, JESUS is changing me right now!"" Uphold my steps in Your paths, O Lord, that my footsteps may not slip." (Psalm 17:5)" I do not always understand what is happening in my life, but I can thank and praise God always for He is with me."" Let me see your kindness to me in the morning, for I am trusting you.Show me where to walk, for my prayer is sincere." (Psalm 143:8 LB)" May the Lord bless and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you; and be gracious to you, and give you His peace." (Numbers 6:24-26)" Peace fills my Heart and my mind for I know that God is with me!"" I am filled with the triumphant, Spirit of Jesus Christ."Jesus you are my song No sweeter name I know It is your name Your wondrous name that sets my Heart aglow I'll sing you in the morning All day and through the night You are the song I sing Jesus you are my guiding light ! Because He Loved Me." A short Prayer Lord, it is amazing that You love me so, even though I have done nothing to deserve your many blessings and grace. Thank You Lord that You see my ways and count all of my steps as I walk with you everyday. Thank You for your favor in my life. O Lord because of your everlasting loving kindness my life is better these days and my lips shall praise you. Thus I will bless You and bring you glory in all that I do and say. I wil lift my hands to you in worship and praise and sing you a song from my humble Heart always and forever in truth. I Love You Lord with all of my Heart, mind, and soul. You are my God of Love and my Heart is yours. In Jesus name I pray, Amen !!! God bless & take care ! Be Blessed, Yvonne

Overcome

When you're over come with grief and care, And your pain seems deeper than you can bear, You start through a tunnel of dark despair. You stumble and falter and fall to your knee.You cry out for someone to hear your plea. The tunnel seems endless, You cannot see. Then you turn to the Master, and light breaks through. The end is ahead, a beginning too.The length of the tunnel depends on you.~Author Unknown

We are Worthy

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill? "Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?"Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty."Now, who still wants it?"Still the hands went into the air. My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE. You are special - Don't EVER forget it." Count your blessings, not your problems.
