BEST FRIEND

BEST FRIEND

Last night you and your best friend had a fight. You decide not to talk to
her the next day.

She smiles at you. You grind your teeth at her.

She tells her friends nice things about you. You spread bad rumors about her.

She tries to come and talk to you. But you push her aside.

She thinks you are a great friend. You think she is a terrible friend.

She writes nice notes to you, telling you about the best times you shared together. You write about all the bad times you can remember experiencing together.

Deep down you know she's sorry. But all you have is hate.

The next day you find a note. It reads:

Dear -------------,

I tried to tell you yesterday, but you didn't let me speak, I tried to tell you good things, but you were afraid to hear them. I tried to smile at you, to take away the hate. But now it's time to tell you, even though it's a bit late. That I am dying.

I have a bad condition and it is getting worse. I'm sorry to have to tell you that I won't be able to see you today. I wrote this to you today in the hospital. My time is up. I'm sorry I should have told you sooner. I'm really sorry about our argument; you are such a great friend. I promise I shall watch over you,

Lots of love

-------------

You run to the hospital to tell her you are sorry,

But only her mum is left.

Her hand clasped over her face.

And she was crying. Down on her knees she prays, for her daughter to come back.

You are too late.

You wish you told her sorry sooner and got to say goodbye.

All friends have their ups and downs, and sometimes you need to say sorry... Don't wait for the other person to do it first.

Because you never know what could happen.

A Prayer for Today

A Prayer for Today

Father in heaven, I trust that You are willing and able to make a way where there seems to be no way in my life. Fill me with Your peace and faith and give me a vision for all You have for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

You are Necessary by Bilal

*Inspired by "Love Walked In" by Marisa de los Santos

**This is a work of fiction -Written by Bilal (brutha66@yahoo.com)

There are those in our lives who come and go and at some level that
is fine.

But there are those in our lives who come in and realize how
necessary they are to our lives and to our daily existence as it is
knowing them that makes the journey a little bit smoother.

Not easy, but smoother (smile).

You are one of those people who have become necessary to my life and
for that I am truly grateful.

I am also so many other things but my mind is swimming with emotions
and I can only attach "grateful" at this time but give me time
(smile).

In knowing you and with you being necessary to my life it shines a
light that possibly and matter-of-factly that I am necessary to your
daily existence as well and you know what? That has my heart doing
cartwheels. Yes, cartwheels and maybe a back flip but I am 35 so I
am not as spry as I used to be but for you I will most certainly try.

All I ask is that if I fall you come and give me a hand. See, how
necessary you are? (LOL).

I love you with all of my being and at times I may not say it enough
but in our history you know why that is the case but let me at this
opportune let you know that I love you and that you are necessary to
my life.

There are days when we go at it but after the storm we come together
in forgiveness and in love.

No, we did not go to pre-school or to the same elementary school or
were childhood friends but two people who met one day at an outing 5
years ago and from that time to present you have become a necessary
part of my life and one that I cherish each and every day.

It is like I have known you all of my life although you and I both
know the truth but with you it feels that way and how you have come
not just into my life but have become a part of me.

You are necessary to me and I am thankful to God above for blessing
me and knowing my needs in providing me someone such as yourself.

Think

Think

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you'd like to win but you think you can't,
You can almost be certain you won't.

If you think that you'll lose, you are lost,
For out in the world you will find
Success begins with a person's will;
It's all in the state of the mind.

If you think you're outclassed you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've just got to be sure of yourself
Before you can win the prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To a stronger or faster man (or woman) - I added this one in ;)
But sooner or later the person who wins
Is the person that THINKS they can.

God Today Devotions April 7, 2008

God Today Devotions April 7, 2008

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23

The secrets of our heart are revealed in our actions. We may appear to be strong, and capable, sweet and kind, but there may be turmoil, strife, jealousy or anger buried deep within. Regardless of how we may try to hide our feelings they will eventually become visible in our lives. We must guard our hearts, placing them in the hands of God allowing Him to heal the brokenness and fill it with His goodness. Our hearts are naturally corrupt but when God dwells within us He changes them and fills them with His goodness. We must be willing to ask God to look deep within our hearts, to clean them and to heal them.

Prayer:

Search my heart Lord and remove all that is not You. I open my heart and ask that You fill it with Your treasure and help me to protect it always. May my heart always hunger for You, saturate it with Your love. You are my heart's desire.

Amen.

Live.... and enoy LIFE!

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

AWESOME QUOTE!!!

'Never allow someone to be your Priority while allowing yourself to be their Option'

I have used a quote similar to this one as a signature. This is SO true!

It is not healthy to make someone that doesn't give two hoots about you a priority when all they see you is an 'occasional' option.... I can write more but I'd better stop here lol!

i carry your heart with me....

i carry your heart with me
(i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it
(anywhere i go you go,my dear;
and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear not fate
(for you are my fate,my sweet)
i want no world
(for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
