Go to Meetings Often |
1. Anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind.
2. You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future.
3. God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him.
4. Everyone needs to be loved...especially when they do not deserve it.
5. The real measure of a man's (woman's) wealth is what he (she) has invested in eternity.
6. Laughter is God's sunshine.
7. Thank God for what you have, Trust God for what you need.
8. If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for.
9. Man looks at the outward appearance but the Lord looks within.
10. If anyone speaks badly of you, live so that none will believe it.
11. Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.
12 Harsh words break no bones but they do break hearts.
13. Love is the only thing that can be divided with out being diminished.
14. Happiness is enhanced by others but does not depend upon others.
15. For every minute you are angry with someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you can never get back.
The best gifts to give:
To your friends - loyalty;
To your enemy - forgiveness;
To your boss - service;
To a child - a good example;
To your parents - gratitude and devotion;
To your mate - love and faithfulness;
To all men and women - charity; and
To your God - your life.
Be Blessed!
