Live For Today

Have you ever wished, when a day went wrong
a wish that's quite in vain
that it were only possible
to live that day again

You'd start out in the morning
with the prayers you should have said
and through the days your actions
with tolerance be led

The many little instances
that tried your patience, true
if only you could start again
you'd know now what to do

You'd kneel and say your evening prayers
and thank the Lord above
for all the pleasant hours past
your heart at peace with love

But since this is a wish in vain
and never can be true
there's only one alternative
just one thing you can do

To live today in such a way
that when tomorrow comes
the memories of yesterday
will all be cherished ones.

Take Time

Take time to laugh
It is the music of the soul.


Take time to think
It is the source of power.


Take time to play
It is the source of perpetual youth.


Take time to read
It is the fountain of wisdom.


Take time to pray
It is the greatest power on earth.


Take time to be friendly
It is the road to happiness.


Take time to give
It is too short a day to be selfish.


Take time to work
It is the price of success.


Take time to love and be loved
It is a God-given privilege.

God knows. God cares.

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in happy giving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without God’s love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking God for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of “Self Complaining”
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Prayer can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To “thank” is a command
Until we get blessings
Victorious in the sky
We’ll run the race with gratitude
Xpect from God most high
Yes, there will be some bad times and there will be some good…
Zzzz peacefully at night… you’re in the care of God!

It's Between You And God!

If you are successful,
You will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
They may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway.
