Smile

• A Smile

  

  Paul. A boy that i took care in Mexico. He was so sweet.:)

  
  
  A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making
  poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts
  forever. None is so rich or mighty that they can get along without it, and none is
  so poor but that they can be made rich by it.
  
  A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the
  countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged,
  sunshine to the sad, and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.
  
  Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is
  of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give
  you a smile.
  
  Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as the one who has no more
  to give.

One Day at a Time

One Day at a Time

 

One day at a time, with its failures and fears,
With its hurts and mistakes, with its weakness and tears,
With its portion of pain and its burden of care;
One day at a time we must meet and must bear. 

One day at a time to be patient and strong,
To be calm under trial and sweet under wrong;
Then its toiling shall pass and its sorrow shall cease;
It shall darken and die, and the night shall bring peace. 

One day at a time - but the day is so long,
And the heart is not brave, and the soul is not strong,
O Thou pitiful Christ, be Thou near all the way;
Give courage and patience and strength for the day. 

Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet;
"Yea, I will be with thee, thy troubles to meet;
I will not forget thee, nor fail thee, nor grieve;
I will not forsake thee; I never will leave." 

Not yesterday's load we are called on to bear,
Nor the morrow's uncertain and shadowy care;
Why should we look forward or back with dismay?
Our needs, as our mercies, are but for the day. 

One day at a time, and the day is His day;
He hath numbered its hours, though they haste or delay.
His grace is sufficient; we walk not alone;
As the day, so the strength that He giveth His own.

Annie Johnson Flint

Deut. 33:25 ...and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

2Cor. 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Hello
 Here are some pictures from today. I am having a wonderful B-day. Most all i am thankful for is God love he showed to me and all my christian family and friends. I am also thankful for the 20 years that god give to me.

Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.Psalms 36:5
