Life
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realise it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is costly, care for it.
Life is wealth, keep it.
Life is love, enjoy it.
Life is mystery, know it.
Life is a promise, fulfil it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
As For Me And My House
As for me and my house,
We will serve the Lord;
We are led by His Spirit
And we stand upon His Word.
The more we get to know Him,
The sweeter He becomes;
Our eyes are fixed on Jesus,
We want no other one.
Every soul on earth must choose --
Who are you living for?
As for me and my house,
We will serve the Lord!
But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
(Joshua 24:15)

Reflection Of A Mother
I gave you life, but cannot live it for you.
I can teach you things, but I cannot make you learn.
I can give you directions, but I cannot be there to lead you.
I can allow you freedom, but I cannot account for it.
I can take you to church, but I cannot make you believe.
I can teach you right from wrong, but I cannot always decide for you.
I can buy you beautiful clothes, but I cannot make you beautiful inside.
I can offer you advice, but I cannot accept it for you.
I can give you love, but I cannot force it upon you.
I can teach you to share, but I cannot make you unselfish.
I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to show honor.
I can advise you about friends, but cannot choose them for you.
I can advise you about sex, but I cannot keep you pure.
I can tell you the facts of life, but I can't build your reputation.
I can tell you about drink, but I can't say "no" for you.
I can warn you about drugs but I can't prevent you from using them.
I can tell you about lofty goals, but I can't achieve them for you.
I can teach you about kindness, but I can't force you to be gracious.
I can warn you about sins, but I cannot make you moral
I can pray for you, but I cannot make you walk with God.
I can tell you how to live, but I cannot give you eternal life.
I can love you with unconditional love all of my life..... and I will.
Dreams Come True
Dreams can come true if you take the time to
think about what you want in life...
Get to know yourself Find out who you are
Choose your goals carefully Be honest with yourself
But don't think about yourself so much
that you analyze every word and action
Don't become preoccupied with yourself
Find many interests and pursue them
Find out what is important to you
Find out what you are good at
Don't be afraid to make mistakes
Work hard to achieve successes
When things are not going right
don't give up -- just try harder
Find courage inside of you to remain strong
Give yourself freedom to try out new things
Don't be so set in your ways that you can't grow
Always act in an ethical way, Laugh and have a good time
Form relationships with people you respect
Treat others as you want them to treat you
Be honest with people, accept the truth
Speak the truth Open yourself up to love
Don't be afraid to love Remain close to your family
Take part in the beauty of nature
Be appreciative of all that you have
Help those less fortunate than you
Try to make other lives happy
Work towards peace in the world Live life to the fullest
My son, dreams can come true
and I hope that all your dreams become a reality
I love you
What Is A Sister
A sister is someone more special than words.
She's love mixed with friendship;
the best things in life.
She's so much inner beauty blended together
with an outward appearance
that brings a smile
to the happiness in your heart...
A sister is one of the most precious people
in the story of your life.
And you'll always be together,
whether you’re near or apart.
Together,
you have shared some of the most
special moments two people have ever shared.
A sister is a perspective on the past,
and she's a million favorite memories that will always last.
A sister is a photograph that is one of your most
treasured possessions.
She's a note that arrives on a special day,
and when there's news to share,
she's the first one you want to call.
A sister is a reminder of the blessings
that come from closeness.
Sharing secrets.
Disclosing dreams.
Learning about life together.
A sister is a confidante and a counselor.
She's a dear and wonderful friend,
and -- in certain ways --
something like a twin.
She's a hand within your hand;
she's so often the only one who really understands.
A sister is honesty and trust enfolded with love.
She's sometimes the only person
who sees the horizon from your point of view,
and she helps you to see things more clearly.
She is a helper and a guide,
and she is a feeling, deep inside,
that makes you
wonder what you would ever do without her.
What is a sister?
She's someone more special than words;
someone beautiful and unique.
And in so many ways,
there is no one who is loved so dearly.
