Is a book better if you speed read it, or if you take your time and get lost in it? Is a song better if you skim through it, or if you take the time to really listen? Is food better if you cram it down your throat, or if you savor every bite and really appreciate the flavor? Is your time spent with a friend or loved one better if you have a rushed meeting interrupted by your emails and text messages, or if you can relax and really focus on the person? Life as a whole is better if you go slowly, Take the time to savor it, Appreciate every moment. That’s the simplest reason to slow down.
Wishing you always... Walls for the wind, A roof for the rain And tea beside the fire. Laughter to cheer you, Those you love near you, And all that your heart may desire...
“May God grant you always... A sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering Angel so nothing can harm you. Laughter to cheer you. Faithful friends near you. Whenever you pray, God to hear you.” and a lasting love that will always be with you...
What qualifies our worry? Anything that drains our tank of joy-something we cannot change, something we are not responsible for, something we are unable to control, something that frightens us, keeps us awake when we should be asleep..
All of that now needs to be switched from our worry list to our prayer list..Give each worry-one by one-to God..Tell him we will no longer keep anxiety to ourselves..Let God handle it..
Some things in life are more precious than words can explain, Watching puddles move from drops of rain. The sounds of a wave crashing against a rock, A sunset reflection, a vision you can not block. Whispers of wind blowing through trees, Walks through sand where you feel an ocean breeze. Kittens purring in your ear, These little things in life are so dear. A drive at night to watch the stars Help your dreams seem not so far. Soft hair of your teddy bear, A friend you know who will always care. The sound of a newborn baby's cry, The first time they open their eyes. A sweet smell of a yellow rose, This is something you will always know. A true love that you have found, You know your hearts will always be bound.
