SHARING

You have heard that love is best when it is shared—that both parties have more than if one loves alone. There are many other things that grow in volume when shared: joy, ideas, support, friendship...to name just a few.

What do you plan to share today?

"The smallest deed is better than the grandest intention."
— Roger Nash Baldwin

“Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they will not be here tomorrow. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again."

~Og Mandino, 1923-1996 (Adapted)

~James 4:13-15~

I would like to extend my warmest sympathy to my wonderful co-worker Audrey Wright Simon on the loss of her mother, Mrs. Ethline Wright I will alway keep her and her family in my prayers. God bless you.

FAITH

Doubt sees the obstacles
Faith sees the way
Doubt sees the darkest night
Faith sees the day
Doubt dreads to take a step
Faith soars on high.
Doubt questions 'who believes?'
Faith answers, 'I.'
~Author Unknown
But Greatly Appreciated!

A Prayer For Courage
by Rabindranath Tagore

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,
But to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain,
But for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield,
But to my own strength.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved,
But hope for the patience to win my freedom.
Grant me that I may not be a coward,
feeling your mercy in my success alone,
But let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.

~James 5:11~

"What you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing; it also depends on what sort of person you are."
~C. S. Lewis~

THE MOMENT MATTERS
By Glasceta Honeyghan

Precious moment, help me to not waste
you by attacking the great big world,
searching for all answers, for some solutions.

Help me to not weigh you down
with a negative thought,
a thoughtless word or action.

Help me remember that how well I use you
will determine my subsequent
moments, my hours, my days.

Help me remember that you are fleeting,
rushing, soon gone into eternity and
could take my existence with you.

So help me grasp you,
relish you, savor the inner peace
you afford me.

Help me use you to begin afresh,
if no more than to take a quick glimpse
into how I might use this rare opportunity...

To convince myself that I want to
live, live, live, and possibly,
feel another glorious moment like you.
