"Things I Just Wish I'd Known" 

 

The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship:
"I apologize" and "You are right".
 
If you tell a lie, don't believe it deceives only the other person.
 
Never continue dating anyone who is rude to the waiter.
 
Any and all compliments can be handled by simply saying
"Thank you"...
(though it helps if you say it with a Southern accent.)
 
Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas.
 
Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
 
When you make a mistake, make amends immediately.
It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.
   
I've learned to pick my battles; I ask myself,
Will this matter one year from now?
How about one month? One week? One day?
 
If you woke up breathing, congratulations!
You have another chance!
 
Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship
just proves that the other person was right about you.
 
Be really nice to your friends because you never know
when you are going to need them to empty your bed pan
and hold your hand.
 
Never underestimate the kindness of your fellow man.
 
You are the only person who can truly make you happy.
  
And finally...Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect,
it just means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.

 

"The Plan of the Master Weaver"

 

 

Our lives are but fine weavings
That God and we prepare,
Each life becomes a fabric planned
And fashioned in His care.

 

We may not always see just how
The weavings intertwine,
But we must trust the Master's hand
And follow His design,

 

For He can view the pattern
Upon the upper side,
While we must look from underneath
And trust in Him to guide......

 

Sometimes a strand of sorrow
Is added to His plan,
And though it's difficult for us,
We still must understand

 

That it's He who fills the shuttle,
It's He who knows what's best,
So we must weave in patience
And leave to Him the rest.....

 

Not till the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why--

 

The dark threads are as needed
In the Weaver's skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
