Hurricane Katrina
State of Emergency

 

America has faced another devastating hurricane
Louisiana and Mississippi were hardest hit
Please keep all of Katrina’s victims in your prayers,
And most of all donate any amount to the American
Red Cross.

"Good Advice"

 

 

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one
day and said, "Lord, I would like to know what Heaven
and Hell are like. "The Lord led the holy man to two
doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man
looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round
table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of
stew which smelled delicious and made the holy man's
mouth water.

 

The people sitting around the table were thin and
sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were
holding spoons with very long handles and each found
it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a
spoonful, but because the handle was longer than their
arms, they could not get the spoons back into their
mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their
misery and suffering. The Lord said, "You have seen
Hell."

 

They went to the next room and opened the door. It was
exactly the same as the first one. There was the large
round table with the large pot of stew which made the
holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with
the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were
well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. The
holy man said, "I don't understand."

 

It is simple" said the Lord, "it requires but one
skill. You see, they have learned to feed each other.
While the greedy think only of themselves.

 

 

Good Advice

 

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.

 

 

"Make the Most of Today"

 

I may never see tomorrow; there's no written guarantee,
And things that happened yesterday belong to history,

I cannot predict the future, I cannot change the past,
I have just the present moment, I must treat it as my last,

I must use this moment wisely for it soon will pass away,
and be lost to me forever as part of yesterday,

I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet,
Be a friend unto the friendless, make an empty life complete,

 

The unkind things I do today may never be undone,
And friendships that I fail to win may nevermore be won,

I may not have another chance on bended knee to pray,
And thank God with a humble heart for giving me this day.

 

 

Have a Blessed Day
