God Said NoI asked God to take away my habit.God said, No.It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.God said, No.His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary I asked God to grant me patience.God said, No.Patience is a by product of tribulations;it isn't granted, it is learned. I asked God to give me happiness.God said, No.I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you. I asked God to spare me pain.God said, No.Suffering draws you apart from worldly caresand brings you closer to me. I asked God to make my spirit grow.God said, No.You must grow on your own! ,but I will prune you to make you fruitful.I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.God said, No.I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things. I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.* "To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world" * "Good friends are like stars...You don't always see them,but you know they are always there"
INSPIRING THOUGHTS
Anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind. You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future. Love...and you shall be loved. God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him. All people smile in the same language. Everyone needs to be loved... especially when they do not deserve it. The real measure of a man's wealth is what he has invested in eternity. Laughter is God's sunshine. Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it. It's important for parents to live the same things they teach. Thank God for what you have, TRUST GOD for what you need. If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. Man looks at outward appearance but the Lord looks within. The choice you make today will usually affect tomorrow. Take time to laugh, for it is the music of the soul. Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears. Love is strengthened by working through conflicts together. Harsh words break no bones but they do break hearts. To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. We take for granted the things that we should be giving thanks for. Love is the only thing that can be divided without being diminished. Happiness is enhanced by others but does not depend upon others. For every minute you are angry with someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you can never get back. Do what you can, for who you can, with what you have, and where you are.
