Yesterday -- Today -- Tomorrow
Yesterday I met a stranger...Today this stranger
is my friend. Had I not taken the time to say hello,
or return a smile, or shake a hand, or listen, I
would not have known this person.
Yesterday would have turned into today
and our chance of meeting would be gone.
Yesterday I hugged someone very dear to me.
Today they are gone...and tomorrow will not
bring them back. Wouldn't it be nice if we
all knew tomorrow would be here? But this
is not to be, so take the time TODAY
to give a hug, a smile, an "I love you."
JUST FOR TODAY, ...smile at a stranger;
listen to someone's heart; drop a coin where
a child can find it; learn something new,
then teach it to someone; tell someone
you're thinking of them; hug a loved one;
don't hold a grudge; don't be afraid to say
"I'm sorry"; look a child in the eye and
tell them how great they are.
Don't kill that spider in your house, he's
just lost so show him the way out; look
beyond the face of a person into their heart;
make a promise, and keep it; call someone,
for no other reason than to just say "hi";
show kindness to an animal; stand up for
what you believe in; smell the rain, feel the
breeze, listen to the wind; use all your senses
to their fullest; cherish all your TODAYS.
THE STRENGTH OF A MAN
The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders..
Its seen in the width of his arms that circle you.
The strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice.
It is in the gentle words he whispers.
The strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has.
It's how good a buddies he is with his kids.
The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work.
It's in how respected he is at home.
The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits.
It's in how tender he touches.
The strength of a man isn't in the hair on his chest.
It's in his Heart...that lies within his chest.
The strength of a man isn't how many women he's Loved.
It's in can he be true to one woman.
The strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift.
It is in the burdens he can carry.
When The Angels Cried
Stillness filled the Heavens on crucifixion day,
Some say it rained, but I don't know if it's true.
Well, I can just imagine ten thousand angels cried,
That would seem like rain to me and you.
The angels all stood ready to take Him from the tree,
They waited for the words from His voice.
And when He asked the Father, "Why has Thou forsaken Me?"
They watched the Savior die of His own choice.
I've never seen ten thousand angels cry
But I'm sure that they did,
As they stood by and watched the Savior die.
God turned His head away . . .
He couldn't bear the sight;
It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried.
As the sun slipped away,
The skies turned to grey;
And when Jesus gave His all,
That's when the tears began to fall.
I've never seen ten thousand angels cry
But I'm sure that they did;
As they stood by and watched the Savior die.
God turned His head away . . .
He couldn't bear the sight;
It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried.
SOMETIMES I WALK IN THE VALLEY
I Know I must run this race real slow......
Because I have so far to go.
There are times when my
journey has me down,
But I stop and think about
my heavenly crown.
Sometimes I walk in the Valley
I have to keep going through
all my pain. Cause in the end
I have so much to gain....
Sometimes I walk in the Valley
Father God, I know I will endure
and make it through, because I can
always reach out and depend on you.
Sometimes I walk in the Valley
I know everyday is not going to be
easy for me, but in Jesus name,
am claiming the Victory! Because
Sometimes I MUST WALK in the Valley

Yea though I walk through the valley
and when I walk, I will fear no evil
For He is with me.
