at times the seed appears to be dead, then out of no where it re ignites and it makes me wonder, did I not give it enough nutrition , did I not see the potential , and should I reconsider the possibilities.11/23=5

consider the possibilities, then think of the options ,regroup, take a breath, use all of your courage and charge forward, "the road not taken", it could be your second chance at what you were always meant to be. 11/24-5

use your words wisely

words are good,
words are bad
words should be used with caution
so please be kind, and take your time to say what you really think, but think before you say it

why are we sinners

why are we sinners?
sometimes we act like we are very holy, and make someone feel less than us, so who is really holy then,


my God wants me to Love unconditionally, let it begin with me today

the quiet of my soul

the quiet of my soul is the place where I allow myself to be when all others have gone to rest,
the greatness of my soul is the place where I go when the emptiness of the world is present
the vastness of my soul is where I go to replenish the Grace he allows me to receive daily

what is the word

babble, babble, babble babble, babble, babble, babble, still today this amazing story is repeated daily, stop the madness and just listen, words are weapons which we should reserve for love :)




religion is not just a word, it's the action you take in life to love one another, improve the situation and the most important thing you must always remember,love one another

why do we listen to the world?

sometimes we listen to the world and stop listening to our inner voice? that small voice which nags us is the voice of reason so stop before you do anything else and listen to the voice of reason and live a joyful life:)

lo que paso fue

what what happen was, everybody had a good time and we all laughed , and that was that

our reason for our day

enjoy the day and remember you are not that busy
for the true things that matter:

a new blessing/ vincent is here

God believes in humanity he sends us a new generation to love:) amen

be a hero today:)

Cowards run when their actions and words come back to them, but heroes stand firm on their actions and The Word☺

make a difference :)

Every little thing

Every little thing you do makes a difference. Each action, each word you speak, each thought you think will in some way change things for you and your world.
As you move through life, you are constantly leaving consequences in your wake. The nature of those consequences is what makes up the quality of your life.

Even the smallest things make a difference. And those small things can quickly add up to a big influence.

Your attitude and your outlook on life truly matter. They have a powerful influence over what kind of difference you are making, in the big decisions and the small ones too.

See the world as a beautiful place, filled with positive possibilities. And your actions, your thoughts, your consequences will take on the color of that positive perspective.

Everything, every moment, every person, every stirring in your heart matters. Let yourself love and value life, and be overjoyed at the positive difference that each of your moments can make.

-- Ralph Marston

que pasa?

is culture a learned behavior? have we shared with our children? in 25 years what traditions will our children be sharing with the next generation.

what am I thinking?

have you ever have a thinkless day?
I want one day to be thinkless, maybe tomorrow

when do you find yourself?

I am not sure when you find yourself, but I am so ready to find me, I have followed for so long that I am ready to lead me to the next phase of my life, the clouds are parting and the sun is shining I can almost see it

what am I thinking?

do you ever feel like asking yourself, what am I thinking? some days you are caught between go and stop, pass and go and future and pass, you then have to take the road that looks the best, will you question that choice later,

smilemaker's on the way

Beyond what is comfortable

Progress is made by doing what you have not done before. To truly grow stronger, you must step beyond what is comfortable and familiar.
Just outside your door is a whole wonderful world of new possibilities. And with those new possibilities come new and difficult challenges.

Go ahead, and have the courage to open that door and to step outside your comfort zone. For though the challenges are many, the rewards are more valuable than you can imagine.

You are designed and equipped and intended for great things. You are flexible and adaptable and creative and intelligent enough to successfully handle whatever you encounter.

Beyond the comfort of what you already know, you'll find the wonder and magnificence of all you can become. Go explore and fulfill the very best possibilities.

smilemaker is ready to begin again

Set to begin

Where you are, is a great place to start. In fact, where you are is the only place from which you can ever start.
The path that leads to your most treasured dreams, also leads to where you are right now. Experience how good it feels to take the first step forward on that path.

This is the right moment. All you need to get started is what you already have.

The special joy of accomplishment begins the moment you begin. That joy is as close as your next breath.

Starting with whatever you have, you can reach whatever you dare to imagine. From this very place, your journey is set to begin.

Open your eyes to the possibilities. Taste the sweet fulfillment that is yours now to create.

smilemaker thought of the day

kindness does not have a price, but it is priceless. if you have seen kindness make sure you give it back

I'm back to smilemaker

Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama


I started to think about a place far far away that I would like to be and what came to mind was home:)
I have been away for 13 days now and am ready to return, tdy almost done, thank God

the way is almost clear

The ideas that have lighted my way have been kindness, beauty and truth Albert Einstein

keep praying today:)

Possibility of success

You can make your life a triumph in spite of every adversity. Or you could make your life a mess in spite of every advantage.
Success does not depend on where you start. If it did, no one would have ever been successful.

Success comes from what you choose to do with whatever you have. It is fully available to anyone who decides to make the effort and the commitment.

Whatever the day holds, it also holds the possibility of success and achievement. Whatever the situation may be, there is a way to create real value from it.

Choose to see the positive possibilities, and you will. Choose to follow those possibilities, and success takes root.

The opportunity for success is always yours, and so is the responsibility. Decide to do what it takes, and create the success that is your own special destiny.

-- Ralph Marston

I saw a miracle today:)

I watched baby number two today playing in his mommy's belly, it is a true miracle

He is so busy already:)
Babies are Blessings

Babies are blessings sent from heaven above to fill our lives with their sweet love.

Babies are gifts so tiny and small they leave little handprints all over the walls, but look at these handprints as a sign of love that God has sent us from above.

do you know what you want?

What is it you wish to have? And, just as importantly, why?
When you're clear about what you'll do with whatever you seek to acquire, you'll find a way to have it. Strong purpose brings forth its own power of fulfillment.

If you have no idea how you'll make use of something, you're not very likely to ever get it. Yet when the utility of what you desire is tightly intertwined with your authentic purpose, it will soon be yours.

To have for the sake of having is not realistic or sustainable, nor is it really very satisfying. To have for the sake of doing and creating and giving and building, brings into play an undeniable attractive power.

The road exists because it has a destination. Your life attracts whatever facilitates your true purpose.

Know clearly what you'll do with it. And it will be yours.

-- Ralph Marston

take a quiz today

Gail completed the quiz "WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE?" with the result You are an Angel in Human form..
“Just your presence is a blessing to those around you, your positive attitude is implacable and radiates change for the better in everything you do and to those around you but everything in its time thus although you may not immediately be aware of your gift everything you do, have done and are about to do is destined to enrich you in a multitude of ways. You have been put on this earth to make a difference use your gift wisely.”.

read this and do it:) peace is yours

If you always wish for more, you will never know the peace and satisfaction of having enough. Realizing that you already have enough is one of the most profoundly empowering thoughts you can think.
Fully enjoying the first piece of cake does not prevent you from having a second. Yet obsessing over whether or not you'll get another piece will always prevent you from enjoying what you have.

It's great to be ambitious and to create new value. Yet that is best done from the position of power that comes with having enough.

Being satisfied does not mean you must be complacent. Being satisfied enables you to draw strength from your desires instead of letting them enslave you.

Discipline, integrity, commitment and effectiveness flow naturally from a strong sense of having enough. When you're truly accepting of where you are, your eyes are fully open to the best possibilities.

Understand that you already have enough. And you'll tap into the power of peaceful purpose.

-- Ralph Marston

God Bless You

what is faith, have you asked yourself lately

Faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future.
It's simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.
- Joni Erickson Tada

Thank You

The day I acquired the habit of consciously pronouncing the words "thank you", I felt I had gained possession of a magic wand capable of transforming everything.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

repeat quote, but it is worth it:)

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." Helen Keller

Value in the giving

There have been times when the kindness of another person has changed your life for the better. And it's easy to see that kindness has the power to reach far beyond itself.
In the most difficult of moments, kindness heals and reassures. Kindness gives comfort, and hope where there was none before.

Kindness can inspire confidence. It changes for the better the perspective of those it touches.

When you seek to make a difference, kindness is a great place to start. Just the simple desire to give it is all you really must have.

So give kindness, freely and without hesitation. Whether you get it back does not really even matter, for its true value is in the giving.

Live with kindness, and you'll always see life's very best possibilities. For in kindness, is the heart of who you truly are.

-- Ralph Marston

it is Friday?

I wonder where the week went, now I wonder how to slow down the weekend, if you know how, let me know:)

dad''s manicure;)

I don't want to open my eyes, it's 6:15, not time to get up yet,
but his presence urges me to do so
as I do I am faced with the morning and the best view ever, the moon saying good morning
thanks Dad, for opening my eyes just in time to see this gift.






(now this is not the actual photo of what I saw, but it helps you see what I saw, I did not want to get up to take a photo I might miss my God's manicure in the sky and his morning peace:) how has he spoken to you lately?
be still , be still and know that I am your God:)

what is death?

~DEATH~
WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT .


A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to
Leave the examination room and said,
'Doctor, I am afraid to die.
Tell me what lies on the other side.'
Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know.'
'You don't know? ?You're, a Christian man,
and don't know what's on the other side?'
The doctor was holding the handle of the door;
On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining,
And as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room
And leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said,
'Did you notice my dog?
He's never been in this room before.
He didn't know what was inside.
He knew nothing except that his master was here,
And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear.
I know little of what is on the other side of death,
But I do know one thing...
I know my Master is there and that is enough.




May today there be peace within you.

May you trust God that you are exactly
Where you are meant to be.
I believe that friends are quiet angels
Who lift us to our feet when our wings
Have trouble remembering how to fly.

an irish prayer for my irish gringo

Happy Birthday
to the person who is where my rainbow ends:)

A Wish for a Friend
Wishing you a rainbow
For sunlight after showers—
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours—
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!

An Irish Prayer
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer

almost palm Sunday

On Palm Sunday Christians celebrate the Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, the week before his death and resurrection. For many Christian churches, Palm Sunday, often referred to as "Passion Sunday," marks the beginning of Holy Week, which concludes on Easter Sunday.
The Bible reveals that when Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds greeted him with waving palm branches, and by covering his path with palm branches. Immediately following this great time of celebration in the ministry of Jesus, he begins his journey to the cross.

The biblical account of Palm Sunday can be found in Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44; and John 12:12-19.

one week left:)

Good Friday, is one week away, enjoy the fast

enjoy the Son today

God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illuminated by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.

Dag Hammarskjold

are you balance this lent?

All About Lent

James Akin


Q: Is the denying of pleasure an end in itself?

A: No. It is a only a means to an end. By training ourselves to resist temptations when they are not sinful, we train ourselves to reject temptations when they are sinful. We also express our sorrow over having failed to resist sinful temptations in the past.

Q: Is there such a thing as denying ourselves too many pleasures?

A: Most definitely. First, God made human life contingent on certain goods, such as food, and to refuse to enjoy enough of them has harmful consequences. For example, if we do not eat enough food it can cause physical damage or (in the extreme, even death). Just as there is a balance between eating too much food and not eating enough food, there is a balance involved in other goods.

Second, if we do not strike the right balance and deny ourselves goods God meant us to have then it can generate resentment toward God, which is a spiritual sin just as much as those of engaging in excesses of good things. Thus one can be led into sin either by excess or by defect in the enjoyment of good things.

Third, it can decrease our effectiveness in ministering to others.

Fourth, it can deprive us of the goods God gave us in order that we might praise him.

Fifth, it constitutes the sin of ingratitude by refusing to enjoy the things God wanted us to have because he loves us. If a child refused every gift his parent gave him, it would displease the parent, and if we refuse gifts God has given us, it displeases God because he loves us and wants us to have them.

don't worry be happy

What are you telling yourself that's holding you back? What are you telling yourself that's preventing you from being happy?
What are you telling yourself that gives you permission to be less than your very best? What are you telling yourself that gives you an excuse for not taking action.

Every moment of every day you're interpreting the world for yourself, telling yourself what it means and what to do about it. Each time you tell yourself something, you have an opportunity to make a lasting impact on your life.

So tell yourself yes. Remind yourself why you have chosen to step forward and give yourself permission to do so.

Tell yourself that you can choose a life of joy and fulfillment right now. Tell yourself that you're fully capable of whatever you decide to achieve.

Take the opportunity to tell yourself, again and again, how truly outstanding your life can be. And then thank yourself for the great advice as you enthusiastically bring it to life.

-- Ralph Marston











It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

get motivated

The quality of your life is up to you, at all times, in all situations. You have the opportunity to creatively imagine an outstanding life for yourself, and then to bring what you imagine into the reality of your world.

The excuses and distractions and setbacks and frustrations are all hopelessly insignificant when compared to your best possibilities. Stay focused on the good and positive things that mean the most to you, and you'll transcend the small bumps along the way with grace and ease.


the daily motivator

a shower of blessings:)

There are 4 things you must never do:
lie, steal, cheat, or drink.
But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love.
If you must steal, steal away from bad company.
If you must cheat, cheat death.
And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away...

God willing, may our tea
be steeped in serenity,

two more weeks and we will get to visit him

start your day right

This new moment

This new moment has already been filled with possibilities for you. Now you have the challenging and delightful task of filling it with life.
Feel the sweet coolness of the brisk wind in your face as you race forward into new and exciting territory. Watch the world change for the better as a result of your good and purposeful actions.

Look closely and see the extraordinary beauty in the most ordinary of things. Lovingly pay attention to every experience, and treasure the valuable new lessons you learn.

Reach out to others and give them your best. Create joy out of nothing and know that joy is always yours the moment you choose to live it.

Recall just a fraction of your many blessings and realize how truly wealthy you are. Know that from here, you can take positive and purposeful steps in whatever direction you choose.

This new moment is a golden opportunity that now surrounds you. Love it, live it, and make it the magnificent moment it was meant to be.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
enough
money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
something
perfect to wear if the employer,

a sunny day:)

you ever stop just to watch the day shine by:)
you should try it , it adds years to your smile:)

another Lenten day

Saint Patrick's day is celebrated on March 17, his religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over a thousand years.
On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink, and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.


so go forth , and enjoy the day:) Erin Go Braugh:)

this is the day the lord has made:)

we travel trough life, and we enjoy the ride 80% of the time, remember to enjoy it all the time, your mission might be to make someone else get the extra 20%:)
vgrsf

think happy thoughts:)

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
Buddha

smiles do not know a language

I will never understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish.



Blessed Mother Teresa

what day is it?

what day is it today? sometimes we get caught up in the treadmill of life and we neglect the small stuff, like who was the last person who walked by me? what was the last word I said to a loved one? how did I make a stranger feel?
so forget what day it is, remember the things you do , and not the things that have to get done:)
live, love and bless others:)

day 12th

In ways you can clearly see and in ways you'll never understand, your expectations become your reality. What you expect most sincerely and persistently, you experience.
All that is within you constantly works to meet the expectations you set for yourself and for your world. You will see, and hear, and touch, and taste, and learn, and achieve whatever you expect.

When those around you are filled with dismay, it is easy to expect the worst. Yet surprisingly, it is just as easy to expect the best when you simply choose to do so, and a whole lot more beneficial.

Begin each day with the confident expectation of specific achievements. At the end of the day, most of those expectations will have been met.

Expectation compels you to find a way. Expectation taps into the large and rich store of resources in your life.

Expect the best of yourself and of those around you. For you truly have the power to make those expectations real.

-- Ralph Marston

the 11th day

Why believe in God?
it would be easy to live your life doing anything you want, without regard for your future,
walk, talk and live for only yourself

saying every now and then, I'm a good person, that's what God wants.
I don't have to do anything else, I hear this all the time, is that right or wrong?
who am I to judge?
or do I answer that question with a powerful statement?
what would you do today?
vgrsf

10 :)are you blest

Blest are they, the poor in spirit, theirs is the kingdom of God. Blest are they, they, full of sorrow,
they shall be consoled.

Rejoice and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!

Blest are they, the lowly ones, they shall inherit the earth. Blest are they who hunger and thirst,
they shall have their fill.

Blest are they who show mercy, mercy shall be theirs. Blest are they, the pure of heart, they shall see God!

Blest are they who seek peace; they are the children of God. Blest are they who suffer in faith, the glory of God is theirs.

Blest are you who suffer hate, all because of me. Rejoice and be glad, yours is the kingdom;
shine for all to see.

7th day:)

his plan is easy you just have to take the time to listen:)
stop resisting the push to move forward:)
vgrsf

Day 6

Set yourself free
Lent is about letting go of so many things:)
vgrsf

There is no outside force holding you back. You are holding you back and you are blaming it on someone or something else.
The way you are able to continue holding yourself back is by maintaining the illusion that you're a victim. Once you release that illusion, you will naturally and easily move forward.

In fact, it is easier to fulfill your best possibilities than it is to avoid them. So let go of the blame and watch the limitations drop away.

Certainly there will always be challenges, and yet it is not the challenges that hold you back. For each challenge provides you with a pathway through which you can move toward fulfillment.

It is your very nature to accomplish. Lovingly accept your destiny, and allow that accomplishment to be manifest through you.

Set yourself free to follow your purpose. Set yourself free to truly live.

-- Ralph Marston

Day 5

When the pearl is cast down in the mud it does not become dishonoured the more, nor if it is anounted with balsam oil will it become more precious. But it has its worth in the eyes of its owner at all times.

Philip the Gnostic,


we are precious to him at all times , even when in our own eyes we are broken, who will you believe today:)
vgrf

day 4

faith is a journey that you are pushed into by your parents and you discover the path as you follow them, or as you explore the path in a new direction. faith cannot be taught it is inside of you , you must dive into your self and find God , so lead by example and know that someone is watching and they are learning:)
vgrf

day 3 :)

“We can offer up much in the large, but to make sacrifices in little things is what we are seldom equal to”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

you know sometimes people try to hard to be holy and when that happens in front of me it makes me laugh, because I too have been a Pharisees and it was a wonderful place so I thought , but when it crumbles down in front of you it is when you realize that the only thing left after the dust settles is God, so cling to him and he will always be there to carry you
vgrf 2009

Day two of Lent

A smile can make your day, some people are so caught up in what the world is doing that they forget what the present is giving them right now. don't be stuck in your own little world and think that every thing is about you, sometimes life is happening to someone else and you happen to be present to enhance it, so be on the look out for smile opportunities.:)

make lent a time of love for all , if you give it you will get it back

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday gets its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of the faithful as a sign of repentance. The ashes used are gathered after the Palm Crosses from the previous year's Palm Sunday are burned. In the liturgical practice of some churches, the ashes are mixed with the Oil of the Catechumens[1] (one of the sacred oils used to anoint those about to be baptized), though some churches use ordinary oil. This paste is used by the priest who presides at the service to make the sign of the cross

Ironic comment I received in church yesterday, someone told me I was smiling too much:) my evil plan is finally working:)
keep smiling even in church on the first day of Lent:)

Fat Tuesday: Carnival:)

Fat Tuesday: today is most commonly known as a festive day to eat,drink and be merry even if you don't live in Louisiana :0

have fun today and have even more fun the next 40 days as you celebrate God's love in a very private special way:) Happy Lent


Mardi Gras, literally "Fat Tuesday," has grown in popularity in recent years as a raucous, sometimes hedonistic event. But its roots lie in the Christian calendar, as the "last hurrah" before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. That's why the enormous party in New Orleans, for example, ends abruptly at midnight on Tuesday, with battalions of streetsweepers pushing the crowds out of the French Quarter towards home.

What is less known about Mardi Gras is its relation to the Christmas season, through the ordinary-time interlude known in many Catholic cultures as Carnival. (Ordinary time, in the Christian calendar, refers to the normal "ordering" of time outside of the Advent/Christmas or Lent/Easter seasons. There is a fine Scripture From Scratch article on that topic if you want to learn more.)

Carnival comes from the Latin words carne vale, meaning "farewell to the flesh." Like many Catholic holidays and seasonal celebrations, it likely has its roots in pre-Christian traditions based on the seasons. Some believe the festival represented the few days added to the lunar calendar to make it coincide with the solar calendar; since these days were outside the calendar, rules and customs were not obeyed. Others see it as a late-winter celebration designed to welcome the coming spring. As early as the middle of the second century, the Romans observed a Fast of 40 Days, which was preceded by a brief season of feasting, costumes and merrymaking.

destination is a state of mind:)

“I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”
Jimmy Dean



“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”
Larry Elder

I wake up I get dressed, I move forward:) but some days I want to do a little more, and when that little more is full of joy, it the biggest hug from God I could ever ask for.
so get up, get dress, move forward and accept the joy which you might see if you are busy looking at the dark side of your smile:)

have a great day:)

A great day

Today is a great day to be alive. The world is filled with positive possibilities, and those possibilities grow more numerous with each passing moment.
Sure, there are challenges and disappointments and frustrations. And within those challenges, within those disappointments, are some of the greatest possibilities.

Today is a great day to be alive because today you can make things happen. You can set a goal, chart a course, take stock of your situation and use it to create new value.

Pay no attention to those who claim to know how things will be. Your future is yours to determine, and this is the day to make it great.

You don't need anyone's permission to live with joy and fulfillment. You don't need to wait for certain circumstances to line up in a specific way.

For today is a great day to be alive, to be productive, to be effective and to fulfill your best possibilities. And now is the moment to enthusiastically get busy making it all happen.

-- Ralph Marston

keep praying today:)

To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven." - Karen Sunde

where did the day go:)

Enough

What you have is enough. What you can do is enough.
Right now you have enough time, energy, knowledge, skills and resources to point your life in any direction. Once you begin the journey, as you need more, you'll find ways to bring it about.

It's silly to wish for more when you could instead be making full use of what you have. Put your energy into creating the life you choose to live.

Allow your inner self to be exactly where you would most like to be. And the rest of you will soon be there too.

An endless abundance is yours if you simply choose to accept it. Fully accept what already is, and suddenly you have it all.

Instead of wishing for more, bring to life the very best of the dreams that are already yours. Know that you already are enough, and discover just how magnificent it is.

-- Ralph Marston

“A smile starts on the lips, A grin spreads to the eyes, A chuckle comes from the belly; But a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, Overflows, and bubbles all around”
Carolyn Birmingham


have you smiled lately? it is a strange but wonderful experience, just like life around you it happens , before you notice it, it is fun and relaxing. for those of you who have not smiled lately, just look out the window, look at the sky and feel the warmth, then remember how you felt when you were 5 years old and you will smile, because when you were 5 life was easy, fun and free remember to be 5 each day for about 2 minutes and you will really smile, it is God's gift to us, our memories;)
vgrsf2009

Every breath we draw is a gift of God's love; every moment of existence is a grace.

Thomas Merton



Grace is such a difficult thing to describe especially to those who are not aware of God. Grace is not just a girl I know at church, it is the knowledge and confidence to move forward when your mind is telling you to hold back,, walking into the burning house because you know you are needed inside:) move forward in faith and Grace will give you that hug you need:)

smile, skip, hum

Music...gives wings to the mind, a soul to the universe, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, a life to everything.

Plato




I know that many around me wonder what is she thinking now? I'll let you in on my secret, there is always a song in my heart:) some days it's fast some days it's slow and patient:) but everyday it's praising :) so join me in my playlist of life, smile, skip and hum on your way to where your going. remember we all are listening to the same love song from God:)

find peace today and smile

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.
Aesop

A little peace here, a little peace there, and pretty soon all
the peaces will fit together to make one big peace everywhere.
Swami Beyondananda

A peace that comes from fear and not from the heart is the opposite of peace.
Gersonides

A truly free society must not include a "peace" which oppresses us.
Petra Karin Kelly


All works of love are works of peace.
Mother Theresa

All you need is love
John Lennon

less we forget who is in charge:)

John 3:27-28 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.

28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.



we are all guilty sometimes of thinking we are in charge, but just a reminder using this scripture, we are guided by God to be in ministry, so we can glorify him, not to make ourselves more important. I strive to be more like John, when he said I receive nothing except it have been given from heaven. so use the gifts he gives you daily , but gently remind yourself that at anytime he will move you to a new anointing , accept the new challenge and glorify him for giving you the raise:)

be a winner today:)

Because nothing says "you're a loser" more than owning a motivational poster about being a winner

the sweet taste of fulfillment:)

Refuse to accept anything less than excellence from yourself. You know that you're capable of the very best, so make sure you fulfill your greatest possibilities.
Hold yourself accountable to your highest vision. Support and encourage your own unique greatness.

There is so very much value that you have to contribute to life. The sweet taste of true fulfillment comes from giving the best that you have.

There will be countless temptations to take shortcuts and to compromise your most treasured principles. But keep in mind that you will gain nothing of real value by doing so.

Instead, insist on excellence from yourself in every endeavor. Do what you know is best, and you'll achieve what you long to achieve.

-- Ralph Marston

my mottos about what to do with your smile:)

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day. H. Jackson Brown, Jr.


A smile confuses an approaching frown. ~Author Unknown


People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile. ~Lee Mildon

today's prayer

Today my prayer consisted in simply going to my heart and re-membering all the folks I've stored there. It is not cold storage. It is a quite warm and tender place.

Sr. Macrina Wiederkehr, OSB
A Tree Full of Angels

I teach spanish too:)

make a difference today:)

I really enjoy time with Ralph

Feel like it

Those mornings when you're reluctant to get out of bed are the very days when you'll gain the most by going ahead, getting up and getting started. The challenges you've been avoiding are the very ones that will compel you to make the most progress.
Step eagerly forward and do the hard stuff. Jump in and tackle the difficult challenges.

Life is about making a difference. The bigger the challenge is, the more of a positive difference you can make.

Don't focus on the discomfort you may have to endure. Instead, go ahead and feel the extreme sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that come from moving forward and doing what must be done.

Instead of forever regretting the missed opportunities, wake up and seize those opportunities. Make full and productive use of the priceless moment that is right here in front of you.

If you don't feel like it, choose to make yourself feel like it. By the time the day is done, you'll truly be glad you did.

-- Ralph Marston

the inspiration I need daily:()

goals are dreams with deadlines Diana Schart

nothing can bring you peace but yourself: Ralph Waldo Emerson

the reason angels can fly is because they take lightly

goals are around the corner :)

I have used this before, but it is always uplifting:)

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.”

Henry Ford

keep working for the future:)

ELAINE MAXWELL:
My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.


ELBERT HUBBARD:
The man who is anybody and who does anything is surely going to be criticized, vilified, and misunderstood. This is part of the penalty for greatness, and evey man understands, too, that it is no proof of greatness.

Keep smiling and keep on keeping one:)

Keep building

If it were quick and easy you would have already done it. The fact that it is difficult and time-consuming means you're doing something truly worthwhile.
The value of any achievement is built with the time and effort you put into it. Keep going, keep building, keep at it and you'll truly have something of great value.

It is often difficult to stay positively focused. And it is always worth the trouble.

Sure, it would be much easier to do nothing. Yet by doing nothing, you create nothing.

Instead, step forward and do the difficult work that must be done. With each effort, you are adding more value and substance to the achievement.

Feel the satisfaction as you continue the difficult and rewarding work of building that achievement. Know that the value has already started coming to life.

-- Ralph Marston

move forward and smile

Standard of living

Your standard of living has very little to do with how much money you make or how many possessions you have. It depends primarily on the way you choose to live your life in each moment.
Your standard of living is not decided by where you came from. It is determined by where you choose to go.

You don't need anyone's permission or assistance to raise your standard of living. You simply must decide to make the very best of who you are and what you have.

Do you wish to live a magnificent life that's overflowing with joy and fulfillment? You can most certainly do that, right here and now, by choosing your attitude, your perceptions, your thoughts and your actions.

Raise your standard of living in every moment by doing something to make your world a more beautiful place. Achieve the very highest standard of living by faithfully following the purpose that lives at your core.

There is always something you can do to improve the quality of your life. Continually seize those opportunities for improvement, and enjoy a rich, rewarding standard of living all the time.

-- Ralph Marston

keep doing your best:)

All respectability, all honor is meaningless if it drives you against your nature. What can you do if you are not a lotus flower, but just a marigold? Enjoy being a marigold.

But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

For God began a good work in you,

Our prayer for you now is this:
that your love grow richer
in knowledge and insight of every kind,
that you learn by experience
what really matters,
and that you continue to shine everywhere you go

(cf Philippians 1)

May the Lord bless you and keep you;
May the Lord shed his light upon you,
May the Lord look upon you kindly
and give you peace.

who is knocking today for you;)

Opportunity is everywhere

There's no need to spend a lot of time looking for opportunity. It is everywhere, and every day more opportunities are being created.
There is always work to be done. There is always value to be created.

Instead of waiting for a new opportunity or searching for the perfect opportunity, go ahead and get to work. Make the most of some of the opportunities that are already here and now.

There is great value that can be created on this very day. There are problems that can be solved, processes that can be improved upon, and endless ways to be purposefully creative.

Opportunities are worthless unless they are acted upon. Choose to take the actions that will turn the best opportunities into real and lasting achievements.

Opportunity is everywhere, already, right now. Step forward and put it to work.

-- Ralph Marston


PS;
my daughter inlaw send me a text today I want to share it:)
be the kind of woman that whey your feet hit the floor each morning the Devil says Oh Shit!!! the bitch is up!!!

I love that girl:)

we should appreciate all of our friends:)

:
A mouse looked through the crack
in the wall to see the farmer
and his wife open a package.
What food might this contain?'
the mouse wondered - - -
he was devastated to discover
it was a mousetrap.


Retreating to the farmyard,
the mouse proclaimed the warning :
There is a mousetrap in the house!
There is a mousetrap in the house!'


The chicken clucked and scratched,
raised her head and said,
'Mr.Mouse, I can tell this is a grave
concern to you, but it is of no consequence
to me. I cannot be bothered by it.'
The mouse turned to the pig and told him,
'There is a mousetrap in the house!
There is a mousetrap in the house!'
The pig sympathized, but said,
'I am so very sorry, Mr.Mouse,
but there is nothing I can do about it
but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.'

The mouse turned to the cow and said,
'There is a mousetrap in the house!
There is a mousetrap in the house!'

The cow said, 'Wow, Mr. Mouse.
I'm sorry for you,
but it's no skin off my nose.'
So, the mouse returned to the house,
head down and dejected,
to face the farmer's mousetrap . . . alone.
That very night a sound was heard
throughout the house -- like the sound
of a mousetrap catching its prey.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught.
In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.
The snake bit the farmer's wife.

The farmer rushed her to the hospital,
and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever
with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer
took his hatchet to the farmyard
for the soup's main ingredient.

But his wife's sickness continued,
so friends and neighbors came to sit
with her around the clock.
To feed them,
the farmer butchered the pig.



The farmer's wife did not get well;
she died.

So many people came for her funeral,
the farmer had the cow slaughtered to
provide enough meat for all of them.
The mouse looked upon it all from his
crack in the wall with great sadness.
So, the next time you hear someone is
facing a problem and think it doesn't
concern you, remember ----
when one of us is threatened,
we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this
journey called life.
We must keep an eye out for
one another and make an extra effort
to encourage one another.

REMEMBER. . . . . .

EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY;
OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER
FOR A REASON.

One of the best things to hold onto
in this world is a FRIEND.
