Life...

I'm afraid to look ahead
I don't know want to know what I will find
But lately I've been thinking
and a few things have come to mind
Where will I be tomorrow
when the sun begins to rise?
Where will I be in 20 years
when I look back and remember the time?
Life is just a passing thing
it was never meant to stay
We were all put here together
but could be taken back any day
Friends come and go
and relationships never last
But these are the good old days
the ones that will fill our past
Don't let these days slip away
you'll never get them back
you were put here to live
and you're never going to last
So when it's all said and done
and your time on earth is through
Don't look back and have regrets
Be happy with everything you do.

LIFE IS A MIRACLE

By: Jackie PA

Life is a miracle, don't let it slip away.

 Open your heart to others; give of yourself each day.

 See the beauty in everyone, regardless of where they've been.

 Some have a difficult journey and really need a friend.

 Share your gifts and talents; listen with your heart.

 do the things you dream about, but don't have time to start.

 pick a bouquet of flowers; show someone that you care.

 be gracious and forgiving; life is never fair

 hold on to your courage, you may need it down the road.

  we all have a cross to bear; it could be a heavy load.

  if you practice all these things,  no matter where you roam.

 you may find both sun and rain, but you'll never be alone!

Trust in G-d

Often, it is through
the most difficult days of our lives
that we come to know ourselves
and what is truly important to us.
No matter how sad you may feel at times,
be confident that hope will
awaken with you tomorrow.

Faith and courage reach out to you;
take hold of them, and you will find
that you will be able to smile again
and truly be happy once more.

How we deal with life
is really a matter of personal choice,
so choose to be happy.
Find joy in the simplest things,
and see beauty in each person you meet.
When times are difficult,
remind yourself that no pain
comes to you without a purpose.

Above all, trust in
God's handcrafted plan
that He has made just for you.
Let Him love you through life's
joyous and painful aspects; if you do,
you will find inner peace
and unending joy.

                                You are Worthy

Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. 

Do not set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless. 

Do not let your life slip through your fingers By living in the past nor for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.

Do not give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Do not be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love; The fastest way to lose love is too hold it too tightly; is to give it wings.

Do not dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope; To be without hope is to be without purpose.

Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

What's It All About

Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many friends you have.
Not about if you have plans this weekend or if you're alone.
It isn't about who your family is or how much money they have.
Or what kind of car you drive.
Or where you went to school.
It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on,
or what kind of music you listen to.
It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown.
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.
Not about what grades you get, how smart you are,
how smart everybody else thinks you are,
or how smart standardized tests say you are.
It's not about what clubs you're in or how good you are at "your" sport.
It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper and seeing who will "accept the written you."

But, life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or a weapon.
It's about what you mean and say, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.
About starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip.
It's about what judgments you pass and why.
And who your judgments are spread to.
It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate or love, letting it grow, and spreading it.

But most of all, it's about using your life to touch or poison other people's hearts in such a way that could have never occurred alone. Only you choose the way those hearts are affected, and those choices are what life's all about.
