SEE THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS

Date: TODAY
From: THE BOSS
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE


I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help.

If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do
not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in
this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years


Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return


Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children


Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.


Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.


Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.


Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness,
ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them


Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you, you may have touched their life in ways you will never know!


A Diffcult Goodbye

We shared...
laughs of joy,
moments of pain,
tears of happiness!

We earned...
care,
understanding,
as well as a place,
in the heart of one another!

We talked...
about our dreams,
about being best friends for life,
just about everything imaginable!

When in trouble...
you helped with all your strength,
strength from your love,
love from your warm heart!

When asked why...
you simply smiled,
you questioned back" What are friends for?"

We walked right beside each other
as we felt a friendly breeze,
one that I shall never forget!

No matter where you'll be,
you'll always be in my heart,
just promise me that I'll be in yours!

You are an angel,
who walked into my life!

I would hate to say goodbye
because it seems too soon
But then again we never will
since a part of us
are always with each other

Cherish These Moments


It was from the get-to-know-yous
To the crying about childhood
The unpacking of backpacks
Looking around at new faces
To the nights when we'd turn red
Laughing about how stupid we are
The way red bull makes us scare people even more
Than the world ever knew possible
Sleepovers with no clothes on
Because you dared us but really we just wanted to anyways
Taking trips to Cancun, my cabin, Seattle
Will never find a way out of my heart
Just knowing that one kiss of a boy
Will have us talking for hours at night
I almost laugh as I think
Of all the fun times still ahead of us
I don't wanna take any of this for granted but
I don't know how to cherish it more than I do
Putting make-up on each other though none of us need it
And pretending we actually have no friends
Pretending we're not part of the
Well-liked, well-dressed, good-looks, good-everything
We have all been blessed with
It doesnt seem to matter to us after we start laughing
And I wonder if its like this for other people
But I don't really care
I try to ask God to make this all last
But I know it will end eventually
So I laugh at everything too much and hug everyone too much
And hold on to these moments
Like a photograph of
Life
