One should be careful not to run faster than your guardian angel can fly.
You make a living by what you get, you make a life by what you give.

We can't all be heros because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.

Tact is the ability to close your mouth before someone else wants to.
ROOTS OF CHARACTER
Those who preserve their integrity remain unshaken by the storms of daily life.
They do not stir like leaves on a tree or follow the herd where it runs.
In their mind remains the ideal attitude and conduct of living.
This is not something given to them by others.
It is their roots...it is a strength that exists deep within them.

Friends For Life
Wishing I could be there
Standing by your side
Cheering you on or catching your fall
Hearing your laughter, or wiping your tears
I'm thinking about you today
Wondering what you are doing, How was your day?
Even though we are far apart
You are close by in my heart
Friends For Life -- I'm thinking of you!!

For Pat, my mother-in-law
Our laughter, our tears, our joy and our sorrow
Are all mine to remember now
As his memories are hollow.
The doctors just shake their heads
There is nothing they can do
It gets worse is all they say ---
I know, I know, I see it day by day.
One day at a time
I watch him lose his mind
Oh this horrible disease
That affects what we cannot see
Slowly he slips away from me
The man I once knew is just a memory.

The Beautiful Promises of God
God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through.
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe.
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.
But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the laborer, light for the way.
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

There is no better exercise for the heart than reaching down and lifting someone up.
THE LIGHT OF INTEGRITY
The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts.
Think only on those things that are in line with your principals and can bear the full light of day.
The content of your character is your choice.
Day by day, what you choose, what you think, and what you do is who you become.
Your integrity is your destiny....it is the light that guides your way.
