Friends and Best Friends MySpace Comments and Graphics

Think about this for a minute..
If I happened to
show up on your door step crying,
Would you Care?
If I called you and
asked you to pick me up
because something happened,
would you come?
If I had one day
left, to live my life;
would you be part of that last day?
If I needed a shoulder to cry on,
would you give me yours?
This is a test to
see who your real friends are or
are you just some one to talk
to when they are bored.
Do you know what the relationship
is between your two eyes?
They blink together,
they move together,
they cry together,
They see things together
and they sleep together,
BUT THEY NEVER SEE EACH OTHER...
that's what friendship is.
Life is lonely without FRIENDS.
It's "world best friends week".
Who is your best friend?
.God, keep your
arm around my shoulder
and your hand over my mouth...AMEN..!!

FOUR BOYFRIENDS
Once upon a time, a girl had four boyfriends. She loved the fourth
boyfriend the most, adorned him with rich robes, and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the best.

She loved the third boyfriend very much and was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms. However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another.
She also loved her second boyfriend. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate, and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times.

The girl's first boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had made great
contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom. However, she did not love the first boyfriend although he loved her deeply; she hardly took notice of him!
One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, 'I now have four boyfriends with me, but when I die, will I be alone?' Then she asked the fourth boyfriend, 'I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing, and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company? 'No way!' replied the
fourth boyfriend, and he walked away without another word. His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart.

The sad girl then asked the third boyfriend, 'I loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?' The third boyfriend replied, 'No! Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to
marry someone else!' Her heart sank and turned cold.
She then asked the second boyfriend, 'I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?' He said, 'I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time! At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave.' His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the girl was devastated.

Then a voice called out: 'I'll go with you. I'll follow you no
matter where you go.' The girl looked up, and there was her first boyfriend. He was very skinny as he suffered from malnutrition and neglect. Greatly grieved, the girl said, 'I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!'

In truth, you have four boyfriends in your lives: Your fourth boyfriend is your body. No matter how much time and effort you lavish in making it look good, it will leave you when you die. Your third boyfriend is your possessions, status, and wealth. When you die, it will all go to others.
Your second boyfriend is your family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by you is up to the grave.

And your first boyfriend is your soul. Often neglected in pursuit of
wealth, power, and pleasures of the world. However, your soul is the only thing that will follow you wherever you go. Cultivate, strengthen, and cherish it now, for it is the only part of you that will follow you to the throne of God and continue with you throughout Eternity. In essence, it's the REAL you.

Thought for the day: Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees,
you're in the perfect position to pray. Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.

Water Reflections MySpace Comments and Graphics I'VE LEARNED TO TAKE MY JOB SERIOUSLY BUT MYSELF LIGHTLY! I've learned that if I don't I've learned that whatever you need take care of MYSELF, I in a hurry will be in someone's room. can't take care of anyone else. I've learned that reality is what is I've learned that times flies whether not what I would like for it to be. I'm having fun or not. I've learned to separate a minor I've learned that everday I can make
event and a major episode. a difference in someone's life and
that I choose to make it a postive difference.

I've learned that you don't have to
meet all the objectives to learn a whole bunch.

I've learned that if I don't celebrate the exquisteness of each day,
I've lost something I'll never get back.
I'VE LEARNED THAT SOME THINGS HAVE TO BE BELIEVED TO BE SEEN

THE TONGUE

To My Sisterfriends
Not many of us should become teachers, as you know we teachers will be judged with Greater strickness than others. All of us often make mistakes. But if a person never makes a mistake in what she says, she is perfect and is also able to control his whole being. We put a bit into the mouth of a horse to make it obey us, and we are able to make it go where we want. Or think of a ship, big as it is and driven by such strong winds, it can be steered by a very small rudder, and it goes whever the pilot wants it to go. So it is with the Tougue: small as it is, it can boast about great things. Just think how a large forest can be set on fire by a tiny flame! And the tongue is like a fire. It is a word of wrong, occupying its place in our bodies and spreading evil through our whole being. It sets on fire the entire course of our existence with the fire that comes to it from Hell itself. We humans are able to tame and have tamed all other creatures- wild animals and birds, reptiles and fish. But no has has ever been able to tame the tongue. It is evil and uncontrollable, full of deadly poison. We use it to give thanks to our Lord and Father and also to curse other people, who are created in the likeness of God. Words of thanksgiving and curing pour out from the same mouth. My Friend, this should not happen! No Spring of water pours out sweet water and bitter water from the same opening. A fig tree, My Friend, cannot bear olives: a grapevine cannot bear figs, nor can a salty spring produce sweet water.


Ladies we all need encouragement from time to time. Most of us are familiar will words of encouragement. After reading an article on encouragement, I felted the need to share with you the different kinds of encouragements, so that you can encourage someone else.

1. Speaking. Proverbs 16:24 says pleasant words bring healing to the bones. Lift someone by telling how you appreciate a certain positive quality in them. When I was discouraged halfway through holding seven estate sales, a neighbor boosted me by simply saying, "You have things so clean and nicely arranged." When appropriate, share a scripture that helped you in a hard time.
2. Writing. Ever considered how the New Testament epistles are "encouragement notes" to the churches? Ours needn't be lengthy--even a post card will do. But a note saying "I care" or "I'm praying" will mean much to someone who is lonely, grieving, or discouraged about wayward family members, unemployment, or health issues. Be creative with your family, like "I love you" penned on the lunch sack banana.

Emotional Ministries

3. Presence. Psalm 34:18 says the Lord is close to the brokenhearted, but often the Lord sends us in person on His behalf. Remember the observation of social scientists: that only one-fourth of communication is verbal. Even when we don't know what to say, just being there encourages.

4. Touching. During His earthly ministry, Jesus constantly touched people, including "untouchables" like lepers and a bleeding woman. Scientists have now documented the positive effects of touch--but God knew that long ago! Anything from a light touch on the forearm to a tight hug can communicate that you care.

Practical Ministries

5. Helping. Sometimes people feel like a laden ocean liner needing a tugboat to nudge it into a safe dock. Helpers use ordinary skills to encourage others. They may sew or mend, do odd jobs or shopping, rock a baby for a harried new mom, take an invalid to the doctor, or show up with an old pickup when somebody needs to move.

6. Giving. Proverbs 21:26 says the righteous person gives without sparing. "Givers" recognize situations where money, food, clothing, or the loan of equipment will better lift people out of their encouragement. Some simply give beauty, like a bouquet of flowers from their yard in a "needn't-return" garage-sale vase.

Spiritual Ministries

7. Hospitality. This ministry is best defined by its Greek word, Phil xenia, which literally means "brotherly love of strangers." So defined, it changes from "entertaining" to simply loving people by providing a meal or bed in the name of Christ. This ministry can target people whose life situations make them "emotional strangers," such as those hurting from marriage breakups, financial problems, or physical challenges.

8. Praying. "You help us by your prayers," Paul wrote (2 Corinthians 1:11). No matter our circumstances, we can--and must--pray. Kenneth, a stroke victim, can move nothing but his eyes, but several ministry leaders send him their prayer requests. Jot prayer needs in a small notebook, and follow up with a note or phone call.

Let God show you which "ministry" of encouragement best fits you. Then simply do it. You'll be lifted up as you lift up others for Him.


Religious and Christian MySpace Comments and Graphics ANTIDOTE WHEN WE START TO WORRY! There are things they we can not do anything about.Put things that are from the past in the past. God's antidote to worry is TRUST. Read Matthew 6; 25-34. When we get so busy and not focus on God, than we are busier then God intended for us to be. Look at your priorities; put God first. Read Matthew 6:33
Take one day at a time, focus on what God is doing for you today. You take away your peace of mind trying to fix things that you can not change, let it go! let God! Read Matthew 6:34
We must turn ever thing over to God. God cares and knows how we feel, we must not panic; prayer is the key! Read 1 Peter 5:7, Phillippians 4:6-8

Experiencing God

Spend some time in prayer with your heavenly Father. Pray through the Seven Realities of Experiencing God, and ask the Father to help you understand how He works with His people. 1. God is always at work around you. 2. God pursues a continuing love relationship with you that is real and personal.. 3. God invites you to become involved with Him in His work. 4. God speaks by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church to reveal Himself, His purposes, and His ways. 5. God's invitation for you to work with Him always leads you to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action.
6.You must make major adjustments in your life to join God in what He is doing.
7.You come to know God by experience as you obey Him and He accomplishes His work through you.

EXPERIENCING GOD
Henry T. Blackaby & Claude V. King (1994)

KEEP BELIEVING IN YOURSELF God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED - To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be. Dear God: The lady reading this is beautiful, classy and strong, and I love her. Help her live her life to the fullest. Please promote her
and cause her to excel above her expectations.
Help her shine in the darkest places where it is
impossible to love.
Protect her at all times, lift her up when she needs
you the most, and let her know when she walks with
you, She will always be safe.

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,
To aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
This person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.


Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
Things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson,
Love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant

/Thank you for being a part of my life,/
/Whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime./
