Today before you say an unkind word, think of someone who can't speak. Before you complain about the taste of your food, think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife, think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion. Today before you complain about life, think of someone who died too early.
Before you complain about your children, think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep, think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive, think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet. And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another, remember that not one of us is without sin. And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down, put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.

We tend to think of ourselves as a people of beginnings and endings. And yet, there is neither.
That which our love will continue forever. Just as surely as that which we hate.
Do away with that which we don't want by ceasing to hate and resist it. There is only one power and one force in the universe... That is God.
He created us in his image and likeness. So we are that.
The power to heal and prosper us, to guide and help us is not in the skies... It is and has always been within us.
All we have to do is to become aware that God is always with us...
There is mountain-moving power in each and every one of God's children, becuase we are a part of Him.
And yet, at times, we think ourselves apart from Him...
We are made as God was. At which He can do we can also do. Everyone are all co-creators of God, and gifted with the Divine Power.

Let me tell you, make sure you read all the way to the bottom. I almost missed this but I was blessed when I got to the end
God, when I read this message, I thought...
I don't have time for this... And, this is really inappropriate during work.
Then, I realized that this kind of thinking is.... Exactly, what has caused a lot of the problems in our world today.
We try to keep God in church on Sunday morning...
Maybe, Sunday night...
And, the unlikely event of a midweek service.
We do like to have Him around during sickness....
And, of course, at funerals.
However, we don't have time, or room, for Him during work or play...
Because.. That's the part of our lives we think... We can, and should, handle on our own.
May God forgive me for ever thinking...
That... There is a time or place where..
HE is not to be FIRST in my life.
We should always have time to remember all HE has done for us.

Why is it so hard to tell the truth but Yet so easy to tell a lie?
Why are we so sleepy in church but Right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up?
Why is it so easy to forget a Godly message, but yet we tell others all of the nasty ones?
Of all the free gifts we may receive, Prayer is the very best one....
There are no costs, but wonderful rewards...
Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.
Isn't it funny how someone can say 'I believe in God' but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also 'believes' in God).
Isn't it funny how you can tell a thousand jokes and they spread like wildfire, but when you start talking regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing?
Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me.
I pray, for everyone who reads this entire message, they will be blessed by God in a way special for them.

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?
The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.
The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them.
God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm.
Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.
