A good look at Life




Life can seem ungrateful and not always kind
Life can pull at your heartstrings and play with your mind
Life can be blissful and happy and free
Life can put beauty in the things that you see

Life can place challenges right at your feet
Life can make good of the hardships we meet
Life can overwhelm you and make your head spin
Life can reward those determined to win

Life can be hurtful and not always fair
Life can surround you with people who care
Life clearly does offer its up and its downs
Life's day days can bring you both smiles and frowns

Life teaches us to take the good with the bad
Life is a mixture of happy and sad
Take the life that you have and give it your best
Think positive be happy let God do the rest

Take the challenges that life has laid at your feet
Take pride and be thankful for each one you meet
To yourself give forgiveness if you stumble and fall
Take each day that is dealt you and give it your all

Take the love that you're given and return it with care
Have faith that when needed it will always be there
Take time to find the beauty in the things that you see
Take life's simple pleasures let them set your heart free

The idea here is simply to even the score
As you are met and faced with Life's Tug of War

The Gift of Miracles

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.  Anne Lamott Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success; for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles. Samuel Smiles  Explore This Website

Courage & Strength

“Courage isn't having the strength to go on  - it is going on when you don't have strength.” ~Napoleon Bonaparte~ “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.  If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing,  it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it.  On the contrary,  if I have the belief that I can do it,  I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it  even if I may not have it at the beginning.”  ~Mahatma Gandhi~ That was exactly what I had experienced, when it comes to my study!  I had in many occasions needed to persuade, remind or even encourage myself in believing that "I can do it".  My motto was that "I have no knowledge of this subject, I am here to learn!".  After going through the ups and downs plus nearly two years off study; in September this year I finally graduated.  

Faith, Hope & Love

  I like this picture which is so beautiful taken from our garden!  I do believe the divine power of God teach us to grow in a good way.  To appreciate the beauty of nature and importantly  the ability to overcome difficulties and obstacles  to always carry God's word with life.    Come to me,  all you who are weary and burdened,  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 "For I know the plans I have for you,"  declares the LORD,  "plans to prosper you and not to harm you,  plans to give you hope and a future.   Jeremiah 29:11  A friend loves at all times,  and a brother is born for adversity.    Proverbs 17:17
