Here are some Angel Sayings
that are dear to my heart.

Oh, I believe there are angels among us Sent down to us from somewhere up above They come to you and me in our darkest hours To show us how to live To teach us how to give To guide us with the light of love When life held troubled times and had me down on my knees There's always been someone to come along and comfort me A kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand A phone call from a friend to say they understand Now ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope (Alabama..Angels Among Us)

LET ME LOVE YOU ONE DAY AT A TIME
by Edward Cunningham

Let me love you one day at a time ...
... and please love me that very same way.

We may never learn
all there is to know about love ...
... but every day together
will teach us
a little more about ourselves
and the special kind of happiness
we can bring to each other.

One of the best things you've helped me learn
is that love starts with being honest
speaking straight from how we really feel.

I like how we've opened the doors
and windows of our lives
and invited each other to come in,
look around and get acquainted ...
... and the more I'm with you,
the more at home feel.

Let me love you one day at a time.
Why talk about "always"
and say things we're not sure we mean
when we can talk about today
and mean exactly what we say?

Lets think of each sunrise as a fresh start,
a brand-new beginning ...
... and try to fill every day
with as much love
as it can hold.

I know you're not always going to be
exactly the same person
Sunday through Saturday,
January through December...
and neither am I.

We both need laughing times
and crying times ...
... and times for every other mood in between.

The important thing
is that you can be
the kind of you
that feels most natural
and that I can be
my favorite kind of me.

That's what makes us
so comfortable together ...
... it's also what keeps us
from taking each other
too much for granted.

Let me love you one day at a time.
Let's not wonder how long love will last
but how beautiful
we can make it grow.

Lets give our best to each other
but let's never expect miracles of our love.
There's no need to ...
... the reality of you and me
is better
than all the impossible dreams
and fantasies
I've ever imagined.

Being with you
is feeling proud, blessed; grateful
for each hour we share.

Let me love you,
not according to any how-to-book
or by someone else's set of rules ...
... but simply for who you are
and how you are with me.

And please love me,
not for what I ought to be,
or for what I might be molded into,
but for what I am,
here and now.

Don't expect me to be
someone all good and all giving,
someone who could never disappoint you ...
... someone too right to be real
and too perfect to be me.
I'm just as human as anyone I know ...
and very thankful that you are, too.

Let's try to remember
that love means keeping in touch
with each other's thoughts
and feelings ...
... listening, not just to words,
but to the emotions behind them ...
...seeing, not just the smiles and frowns,
but the hurts and pleasures
that causes them.

Let me love you one day at a time, starting today.
Let's have the courage to try to change
whatever needs changing about us
and the wisdom to know what should never be changed.

Let's not worry about what went wrong yesterday.
Let's help each other make today as right as it can be ...
... believing in ourselves
and in our ability to handle
what ever tomorrow may bring ...
... and trusting that this love we share will continue to grow stronger
as the future years unfold ...
one beautiful day at a time.

ABANDONED

When I heard your helpless cries..tears began falling from my eyes.
I read you books..you gave me looks. Your big brown eyes..showed pain inside.
Your heart must moan..from being alone. How could you understand..a raging father’s hand?
How can your little mind..Justify brutality so unkind?
I wish I could make you see..You don’t have to fear trusting me.
You cannot possibly understand..that my heart is in your hand.
I hold you close, your tears subside..my feeling for you, I cannot hide.
I only wish that I could heal..the confusion and suffering that you feel.
Thank God you are a child. Innocent, forgiving, trusting, mild...
My mood is down, my heart is broken..for my feelings suppressed - unspoken.
The world holds frustration, hate and rage..But WHY for a child of your age?
I pray your future holds love an cheer..a world of happiness to replace the fear.
I hope I touched your mind and heart..to give your world of love a start.
Because inside I died..when I held you while you cried.

Choicemaking

Everyday I have before me many choices.
It is not easy to choose,
for often the choice means letting go of the past of the present.

I know what the past was.
I know what the present is.
But the choice propels me into the future.
I’m not sure I’ll make the right choices.
It’s not easy to "let go."
It’s not easy to fly into the future.
It’s like the space between trapezes.
It’s not knowing whether you’re going to be caught.
It’s not knowing whether you’re going to fall.
It’s not easy to live in trust.
That space between trapezes requires faith.
I must admit that my faith is often shaky.
I pray and hope that I’ll make good decision,
that I’ll be caught and will not fall.

Everyday I have before me many choices.
Love is a friendship that has caught fire.
It is quiet understanding,
mutual confidence,
sharing and forgiving.
It is loyalty through the good times and bad.
It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for weaknesses.

Love is content with the present,
it hopes for the future,
and it doesn’t brood over the past.
It’s the day-in, day-out chronicles of irritations,
problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories, and common goals.

If you have love in your life,
it can make up for a great many things you lack.
If you don’t have it,
no matter what else there is,
it is not enough.

SURRENDER

To surrender means not to be protective of others. It’s to let our loved ones face their own reality, the consequences of their own decisions.

To surrender means to stop trying to control others. It’s to use my energy to become what I dream I can be.

To surrender is not to regret the past. It’s to grow and live for the future.

To surrender is to stop denying. It’s to become more accepting of reality.

To surrender does not mean to stop caring. It means I can’t do it for someone else.

To surrender means I cannot enable any longer. It means I have to allow others to feel their own consequences.

To surrender means to stop being in the middle of arranging events. It’s to allow others to impact their happenings.

To surrender is to be unwilling to adjust my schedule to everyone else’s. It’s to take full responsibility for ME.

To surrender is to fear less and give up guilt and inadequacy. It’s to love and accept both myself and others more.

NOT ALONE

You are not alone,
Even tough right now you’re on your own.
You are loved in ways that can not be shown.
Your needs are known.
You are not alone.
And when you cry,
You’re just letting go a heartache deep inside,
so tomorrow there’ll be sunshine and the sky,
and love close by.
You’re not alone.

THAT’S ENOUGH

I can’t remove your loneliness
or heal your broken heart;
Can’t take away the shadows
that make your night so dark,
But I can stay beside you
when life is getting tough.
If we come close together,
that’s enough.

I don’t have all the answers,
and I don’t know what to say,
I can’t bring you the sunshine,
or take the rain away,
But I can always hold you
when the storm is getting rough.
If we come close together,
that’s enough.

I had to learn so many things
and fail so many times
Before the day I finally realized
If we could take the sorrow
from every loss that comes along,
We’d have to take the loving out of life.

I can’t remove the dangers
from a world so full of fears.
I can’t make living safer
or of take away your tears,
But I can always love you,
with a love that you can trust,
And if we can come close together,
that’s enough.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE SHORT CHAPTERS

Author Anonymous

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in. I am lost ... I am hopeless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in ... it's a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

I walk down another street.
