Persevere

Persevere

Dont let the pain of one season destroy

the joy of all the rest.
Dont judge life by one difficult season.

Persevere through the difficult patches;
And better times are sure to come.,

some time or later.

One day a young lady was driving along with her father.
They came upon a storm, and the young lady asked her father, What should I do?"
He said "keep driving". Cars began to pull over to the side, the storm was
Getting worse.

"What should I do." The young lady asked?

"Keep driving," her father replied.

On up a few feet, she noticed that eighteen wheelers were also pulling over.
She told her dad, "I must pull over, I can barely see ahead. It is
Terrible, and everyone is pulling over!"

Her father told her, "Don't give up, just keep driving!"

Now the storm was terrible, but she never stopped driving, and soon she
Could see a little more clearly. After a couple of miles she was again on
Dry land, and the sun came out.

Her father said, "Now you can pull over and get out."

She said "But why now?"

He said "When you get out, look back at all the people that gave up and are
Still in the storm, because you never gave up your storm is now over.

This is a testimony for anyone who is going through "hard times".

Just because everyone else, even the strongest, gives up. You don't have
To...if you keep going, soon your storm will be over and the sun will shine
Upon your face again.

This story touched me! I hope it touched you, too !!!

Forgiveness - An Asset

"Forgiveness is the sweetest revenge." I saw this wonderful old saying again in a
book recently. It got me to thinking about all the times that I have been able
to forgive others in my life and all the joy that it has brought me. One memory
stands out particularly well. I was a young boy spending a week at 4-H camp
during the Summer. I was having a great time and enjoying everything about it
except for another young boy about my age. To say we didn't get along would be
an understatement. We spent most of the week irritating, insulting, and picking
on each other. Words finally came to blows on the next to last day of camp. We
got into a fist fight which I lost. Thankfully, older boys broke it up before I
was hurt too much. I spent the rest of the day alone, sulking and stewing in my
own anger.

The next day my spirits were lifted, however, when my Mom brought the boys in
our cabin some of her delicious homemade pizzas. I was enjoying a few slices of
it when I saw the other boy sitting by himself at the bottom of the steps
outside. He seemed very lonely right then. I am not sure what moved me to do so,
but I took my pizza down and shared it with him. It made all the anger and pain
inside me go away. We became friends after that. I never got into another fist
fight either. I had found out that sharing and forgiving were way more fun and a
lot less painful.

Forgiveness truly is the sweetest revenge. It can turn an enemy into a friend.
It can free a heart from the chains of anger, hatred, and pain. It can open a
soul to the sweetness of love and joy once again. It can help you to live by the
Golden Rule and to create a Golden Life. It can bring you back to oneness with
God in everything you think, feel, and do. That is why I often pray, "God help
me to forgive, help me to give, and help me to love." May your life always be
full of sweet forgiveness then. May you always delight in its Heavenly charms."

Never Too Late

It is never too late to live with richness, purpose, joy and love.
No matter how much time you feel you have wasted or lost,
It is never too late to make the very most of the moment you're in.
No matter how many mistakes you may think you have made,
It is never too late to start moving in a positive direction.
The instant you choose to fully live,
The past no longer has the power to hold you back.
Where you are now is precisely where you need to be.
With gratitude in your heart for the journey that has brought you here,
Choose now to make the most of where you are.
Starting from this place you can go in any direction.
It is never too late to choose the very best direction you can imagine.
Dig down and get in touch with the real substance of your most treasured dreams.
For what matters most is always within your reach.
Move right on past the disappointments, the frustrations,
The regrets and the negative assumptions you have accumulated.
It is never too late to fully become the real, authentic, unique and valuable person you are.
