Inspirational Thoughts

Thoughts that mean alot to me

Some humor to begin with *smile*
This came from one of my LOTH sisters

Dear God,

So far today, God, I've done all right.
I haven't gossiped, haven't lost my temper,
haven't been judgmental, critical, selfish,
arrogant or self-righteous. I'm really glad about that.

But in a few minutes, God, I'm going to get out of bed,
and from then on, I'm probably going to
need a lot more help. Thank you, God

Amen

DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit --
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow --
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out --
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit, --
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

LIFESAVORS

Lilac-colored mountains at dusk...
a favorite coffee shop...
the first ripe cherries...
a good hair day...
watching the bees have breakfast...
men who garden...
the love of big words...
pink hollyhocks by the back door...
a very private luncheon for two...
unexpectedly - a parade...
white sheep clouds...
petite tomatoes on the plate...
a slice of pale moon...
marriage: confidence in the future.
