THIS IS A SECRET THAT HAS BEEN TOLD MANY TIMES SINCE CHRIST WALKED THE EARTH. IT'S TOO BIG TO KEEP TO YOURSELF.
The Secret
One day, one friend asked another, "How is it that you are always so happy? You have so much energy, and you never seem to get down."
With her eyes smiling, she said, "I know the Secret!" "What secret is that?" To which she replied, "I'll tell you all about it, but you have to promise to share the Secret with others."
"The Secret is this: I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make me happy and to meet my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply according to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I don't need half of what I think I do. He has never let me down. Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy."
The questioner's first thought was, "That's too simple!" But upon reflecting over her own life she recalled how she thought a bigger house would make her happy, but it didn't! She thought a better paying job would make her happy, but it hadn't. When did she realize her greatest happiness? Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren, playing games, eating pizza or reading a story, a simple gift from God.
Now you know it too! We can't depend on people to make us happy. Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that. Trust HIM! And now I pass the Secret on to you! So once you get it, what will you do?
YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too! That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU! But it's not really a secret... We just have to believe it and do it... Really trust God!

4-23-07 Thought for the day....... "When given the choice between being right or being kind, always choose kind." Dr. Wayne Dyer
4-24-07 Thought for the day....... "If you identify with a mental position, then if you are wrong, your mind-based sense of self is seriously threatened with annihilation. So you as the ego cannot afford to be wrong. To be wrong is to die. Wars have been fought over this, and countless relationships have broken down." Eckart Tolle

Remember this every time you pass that little penny in the parking lot. I always thought that it was for Good Luck, but I love this version better:
I found a penny today Just laying on the ground. But it's not just a penny, this little coin I've found.
Found pennies come from heaven, That's what my Grandpa told me. He said Angels toss them down. Oh, how I loved that story.
He said when an Angel misses you, They toss a penny down. Sometimes just to cheer you up, To make a smile out of your frown.
So, don't pass by that penny, When you're feeling blue. It may be a penny from heaven, that an Angel's tossed to you.
So now pass this on to the people who you care about and who you feel are Angels to you, I just did. An Angel is now watching over you. Have A Great Day! ********************** Two Horses
Just up the road from my home is a field,
with two horses in it.
From a distance, each looks like every other horse.
But if you stop your car, or are walking by,
you will notice something quite amazing.
Looking into the eyes of one horse will
disclose that he is blind.
His owner has chosen not to have him put down,
but has made a good home for him.
This alone is amazing.
If nearby and listening,
you will hear the sound of a bell.
Looking around for the source of the sound,
you will see that it comes from the
smaller horse in the field.
Attached to her halter is a small bell.
It lets her blind friend know where she is,
so he can follow her.
As you stand and watch these two friends,
you'll see how she is always checking on him,
and that he will listen for her bell and then
slowly walk to where she is, trusting that she
will not lead him astray. When she returns to the
shelter of the barn each evening, she stops
occasionally and looks back, making sure her
friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.
Like the owners of these two horses,
God does not throw us away just because
we are not perfect or because we have problems
or challenges. He watches over us and even brings
others into our lives to help us when we are in need.
Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by
the little ringing bell of those who God places in our lives.
Other times we are the guide horse, helping others see.
Good friends are like this ..........
You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Please listen for my bell and I'll listen for yours.
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle". Peace Be With You!

He was just a little boy on a week's first day He was wandering home from Sunday school and dawdling on the way
He scuffed his shoes into the grass He found a caterpillar He found a fluffy milkweed pod and blew out all the "filler"
A bird's nest in a tree o'erhead so wisely placed on high was just another wonder that caught his eager eye
A neighbor watched his zig-zag course and hailed him from the lawn Asked him where he's been that day and what was going on
"I've been to bible school" he said and turned a piece of sod He picked up a wiggly worm, replying "I've learned a lot of God"
"Very fine way" the neighbor said "for a boy to spend his time - if you'll tell me where God is I'll give you a brand new dime
Quick as a flash the answer came Nor were his accents faint "I'll give you a dollar, Mister if you can tell me where God ain't".
