♥ - WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD 03/12/2013 - ♥

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,

And each road leads you where you want to go,

And if you're faced with a choice, 
and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one 

that means the most to you.
And if one door opens 

to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' 

till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, 

show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, 

more than anything,
My wish, for you, 

is that this life becomes 
all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, 

and your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more 
than you can hold,

And while you're out there 
getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, 
and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, 
but ya never forget,

All the ones who love you, 
in the place you left,

I hope you always forgive, 
and you never regret,

And you help somebody 
every chance you get,

Oh, you find God's grace, 
in every mistake,

And you always give more 
than you take.
But more than anything, 
yeah, and more than anything,

My wish, for you, 
is that this life becomes 
all that you want it to,

Your dreams stay big, 
and your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more 
than you can hold,

And while you're out there 
getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, 
and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this, is my wish.

"Do all the good you can.

By all the means you can.

In all the ways you can.

In all the places you can.

At all the times you can.

To all the people you can.

As long as ever you can."

-John Wesley

All of us have unique 

talents and gifts. 

No obstacle, 

be it physical, 

mental or emotional, 

has the power to

destroy our innate 

creative energies.

~ Liane Cordes

Happiness always looks small 

while you hold

it in your hands, 

but let it go, 

and you learn at once 

how big and precious it is.

 

~ Aleksei Peshkov

A house is built of logs and stone,

of tiles and posts and piers;

A home is built of loving deeds

that stand a thousand year.

~ Victor Hugo

In life, you can never be 

too kind or too fair; 

everyone you meet is carrying a heavy
load. When you go through your day
expressing kindness and courtesy to all you
meet, you leave behind a feeling of
warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate
the burdens everyone is struggling with.
~ Brian Tracy ~

- Faith Is Stronger Than My Fears -

Sometimes my cross is hard to bear
For there is darkness everywhere, 

And troubles pile around my door 

Like autumn leaves forevermore.

The morning light seems far away, 

Like I am stuck in yesterday.

My heart is beating like a drum -

I try to pray, but words won't come.

But then the sun begins to rise 

And hope is born within my eyes.

A rainbow forms among my tears 

For faith is stronger than my fears!

-- Clay Harrison
