Please visit Spiritual Sunday for more blessings. Thank you Charlotte and Ginger for hosting this special event each Sunday.
This was sent to me through my email.
Someone has written these beautiful words. One must read and try to understand the deep meanings in them. They are like the Ten Commandments to follow in life all the time.
1] Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble; it is a "steering wheel" that directs us in the right path throughout life.
2] Do you know why a car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the rear view mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, look ahead and move on.
3] Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.
4] All things in life are temporary. If going well enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong don't worry, they can't last long either.
5] Old friends are like Gold! New friends are Diamonds! If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a base of Gold!
6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!
7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.
8] A blind person asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" He replied: "Yes, losing your vision."
9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them; and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.
10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES; it takes away today's PEACE.
Praying for love and peace to fill the coming NEW Year.
Blessings,
Jeanne
You know I'm not that spiritual Jeanne, and I do read your Sunday posts, but this one IS BEAUTIFUL.

Thank you, Sweetpea, for this moment to stop and ponder all these wonderful thoughts. I know you're both plumb tuckered out and floating on a cloud, so I hope you're resting and just enjoying the remembrances of yesterday.
Godspeed and Traveling Grace on your way home,
rachel

Hi Jeanne, Thanks for sharing this. Don't you love it when you get emails like this? So many great points. Ginger likes #7 but it was #6 that really struck a chord with me. Hope is something I am trying to hold onto.
God bless!!!
