Hello my friends! Another nice day today - another good day of visiting with Angie! Tonight we called our other school friend, Arlie, and had a nice visit with her, she is really having a hard time - her husband is 15 years older, so he's 89, and bad with walking, her daughter has MS and is wheelchair bound, they have to help her with everything - so sad. Arlie had back surgery, just getting better from that, listening to her, it makes our crosses very small. Please pray for our dear friend, Arlie and her family. Tomorrow we're having Shirley, another classmate over for a visit. Shirley is Father Jerry's sister.

If you think success and really believe it will happen, you will perform in a manner

that leads to success. Lord, may I always avoid negative thoughts and visualize

myself in the manner that You intended for me.

Scripture for the day:

"Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I
will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am
gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my
yoke is easy, and my burden is light." ~Matthew 11:28-30

Meditation for the day:

The way sometimes seems long and wary. So many people today are weary. The
weariness of others can often be shared by me. The weary and the
heavy-laden, when they come to me, can be helped to find the rest that I
have found. There is only one sure cure for world-weariness and that is
turning to spiritual things. In order to help bring about the turning of
the weary world to God, I can dare to suffer, dare to conquer selfishness in
myself, and dare to be filled with spiritual peace in the face of all the
weariness of the world.

Prayer for the day:

I pray that I may be a help to discouraged people. I pray that I may have
the courage to help bring about what the weary world needs but does not know
how to get.

I BELIEVE

I believe- that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

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 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 true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I believe- that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

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 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 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 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 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.

and a prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father
by William De Witt Hyde

Dear heavenly Father,

Give me clean hands, clean words, and clean thoughts;

Help me to stand for the hard right

Against the easy wrong;

Save me from habits that harm;

Teach me to work as hard,

And play as fair in thy sight alone,

As if the whole world saw;

Forgive me when I am unkind,

And help me to forgive those who are unkind to me;

And keep me ready to help others.
