This is how I want to live my life.
It may not be how I live, but it is the way I want to live.
I want to live my life in such a way that it will be remembered. I want to leave an impression on everyone I come in contact with.
I want to live as Thoreau said, "to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and spartan like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to it's lowest terms."
I want to be open and honest with everyone, to be remembered by my actions. I want to lead my life in such a way that I can be respected.
I want to live my life so I can be an example for others. I want to aspire for greatness but never be famous.
I want to live sure of myself. If I doubt myself, others will too. I want to live my life in such a way so that in the future I won't regret my past.
I want to believe in myself. I want to capture the strength I have deep inside. I want to believe in tomorrow and what it might bring.
I want to be able to trust and in turn be trusted.
I want to begin every day thinking this is the beginning of a new day. I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is important because I am using a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever leaving in its place, something I traded for it.
I want to be a friend to everyone. I want to always have a dream. I want to be remembered for the good I did in my life.
People won't remember what I said, people won't remember what I did, but they will always remember how I made them feel.
"I shall pass through this world, but once. Any good therefore that I can show, to any human being, let me do it now for I shall never pass this way again."
Piece Of Cake.. Now we all, from time to time, have problems or troubles
in our life. After all life is not a piece of cake, or is it? So
the next time you feel troubled why not have a piece of.....
God's Cake
Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this", or
"Why did God have to do this to me". Here is a wonderful
explanation!
A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going
wrong, she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her
and her best friend is moving away.
Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her
daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says,
"Absolutely Mom, I love your cake."
"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers.
"Yuck" says her daughter.
"How about a couple raw eggs?"
"Gross, Mom!"
"Would you like some flour then?
Or maybe baking soda?"
"Mom, those are all yucky!"
To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad
all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right
way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He
would let us go through such bad and difficult times. For God
knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they
always work for good! We just have to trust Him and,
eventually, they will all make something wonderful!
Always remember, God is crazy about you.
He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in
the universe, and He chose your heart.
Now I hope your day is a "piece of cake!" After all, Life may
not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might
as well dance.

I AM A CHRISTIANWhen I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean living."
I'm whispering "I was lost," Now I'm found and forgiven.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need CHRIST to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need HIS strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches so I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou.
I was just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow.

I really like this. People often mistake our intentions when we say we're Christians. This is a great way of looking at it. :) |
