Words of Comfort - Mae's qoute of the day!

So often it seems that life is only made up of things to worry about. Life has many disappointments for all of us ... death, illnesses, betrayals, tragedies, and feelings of worthlessness and despair. Sometimes life can seem so very grim, and so many times we tend to wallow in pools of self-pity.

I believe that our time here on earth gives us the opportunity to grow spiritually. We can experience much personal growth because of all the suffering, worries, and difficulties we have to go through during our mortal lives. It is God's way of fine-tuning us so we become more compassionate, more caring, more loving, and more aware of others' pain. After all, how could we ever dry the tears of others if we had never cried ourselves?

We all find ourselves in the valley of despair sometimes. It may sometimes seem that we are forever worrying, learning lessons, suffering pain, and facing challenges. But we must try to remember that the fertilizer that helps us "grow" is in those valleys, not on the mountain tops.
During the times that we feel scared and confused, we will always end up wiser and we will grow more from the experiences. We will understand more about people and life, become more sensitive, and we'll be able to enjoy life more after we go through the hard times.
We have to experience sadness so that we may better measure joy. Life has a way of balancing the sorrow with the joy, the disappointments with the hope, and the emptiness with the meaning.

I do hope you're able to realize that even though things look cloudy right now, they'll get better soon. Just remember that it takes rain to make rainbows, lemons to make lemonade, and sometimes it takes difficulties to make us stronger and better people. If you hang in there, you will see that the sun will shine again soon ... you'll see.

"A life watered by the tears of tragedy and suffering
Often becomes the most fertile soil for spiritual growth."

OH, GOD, MAKE ME A BETTER PARENT

Oh, God, make me a better parent.
Help me to understand my children,
to listen patiently to what they have to say
and to answer all their questions kindly.

Keep me from interrupting them,
talking back to them and contradicting them.
Make me as courteous to them
as I would have them be to me.

Give me the courage to confess my sins
against my children and to ask of them forgiveness,
when I know that I have done them wrong.

May I not vainly hurt the feelings of my children.
Forbid that I should laugh at their mistakes or
resort to shame and ridicule as punishment.

Let me not tempt a child to lie and steal.
So guide me hour by hour that I may demonstrate
by all I say and do that honestly produces happiness.

Reduce, I pray, the meanness in me.
May I cease to nag:
and when I am out of sorts,
help me, O Lord, to hold my tongue.

Blind me to the little errors of my children
and help me to see the good things that they do.
Give me a ready word for honest praise.

Help to treat my children as those of their own age,
but let me not exact of them the judgments
and conventions of adults.

Allow me not to rob them of the opportunity
to wait upon themselves,
to think, to choose, and to make decisions.

Forbid that I should ever punish them
for my self satisfaction.
May I grant them all of their wishes
that are reasonable
and have the courage always to withhold
a privilege that I know will do them harm.

Fathers Are Wonderful People


Fathers are wonderful people
Too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
As often as we should.

For somehow, Father seems to be
The man who pays the bills,
While Mother binds up little hurts
And nurses all our ills.

And Father struggles daily
To live up to "his image,"
As protector and provider
And "hero of the scrimmage."

And perhaps that is the reason
We sometimes get the notion,
That Fathers are not subject
To the thing we call emotion.

But if you look inside Dad's heart,
Where no one else can see ...
You'll find he's sentimental
And as "soft" as he can be.

But he's so busy every day
In the grueling race of life,
He leaves the sentimental stuff
To his partner and his wife.

But Fathers are just "wonderful"
In a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments
And accolade of praise.
For the only reason Dad aspires
To fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him,
And to bring them happiness.

And like our Heavenly Father,
He's a guardian and a guide,
Someone that we can count on
To be always on our side.

If a child lives with CRITICISM,
He learns to CONDEMN.

If a child lives with HOSTILITY,
He learns to FIGHT.

If a child lives with RIDICULE,
He learns to be SHY.

If a child lives with SHAME,
He learns to feel GUILTY.

If a child lives with TOLERANCE,
He learns to be PATIENT.

If a child lives with ENCOURAGEMENT,
He learns to be CONFIDENT.

If a child lives with PRAISE,
He learns to APPRECIATE.

If a child lives with FAIRNESS,
He learns JUSTICE.

If a child lives with SECURITY,
He learns to have FAITH.

If a child lives with APPROVAL,
He learns to LIKE HIMSELF.

If a child lives with ACCEPTANCE
and FRIENDSHIP,
He learns to LOVE in the world.

Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.
You feel like the night before, and you haven't been anywhere.
The gleam in your eye is from the sun hitting your bifocals.
Your little black book contains only names ending in M.D.
You get winded playing chess.
Your children begin to look middle-aged.
You join a health club and don't go.
Your mind makes contracts your body cannot meet.
You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the questions.
You look forward to a dull evening.
You walk with your head held high, trying to get used to your bifocals.
Your favorite part of the newspaper is "Twenty-five Years Ago Today."
You turn out the lights for economic reasons instead of romantic ones.
You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
Your knees buckle and your belt won't.
You are 17 around the neck, 42 around the waist, and 90 around the golf course. You stop looking forward to your next birthday.
Dialing long distance tires you out.
You remember today that yesterday was your wedding anniversary.
"Happy Hour" is taking a nap.
The best part of your day is over when your alarm clock goes off.
You burn the midnight oil until after 9:00 p.m.
Your back goes out more often than you do.
You are cautioned to slow down by your doctor instead of by the police.
You have everything you had 20 years ago, only it's all a little bit lower.
You get your exercise acting as pallbearer for friends who exercise.
When you're sitting in a rocker and you can't get it started.
When tying one on means fastening your MedicAlert bracelet.
You have too much room in your house and not enough in the medicine cabinet.
You sink your teeth into a steak, and they stay there.

Together shall we take a journey into the mind?
To explore the colors ... to the emotions we find;
For colors bring energy, warmth and healing,
But first you must accept what you believe in!

BLUE we say brings a healing ray of light;
Close your eyes and feel the warmth that is right.
PINK is for love, gentleness, a feeling of calm;
So enjoy this feeling ... love will not harm.
PURPLE for knowledge ... we all need a little of this;
For learning about life, we can not afford to miss.
GREEN is for peace, new birth, new beginning;
Nature's wonderful color ... you just feel like singing!
RED is for strength, energy and courage within;
This strong color can only help you to win.
YELLOW and ORANGE are bright to help you shine,
Give you upliftment and leave your worries behind.
WHITE is for pure, to help us keep a clean mind;
To help us stay good and find peace of a kind.
BLACK is the darkness we try not to see;
For believe it or not, evil can touch you and me.
GOLD and SILVER are above all the colors we feel;
These two colors are God's healings to reveal.

Take a look into your inner self;
Take the color you need;
Each color's ray of light,
Will give you the help to succeed.

The trouble with so many of us is that we underestimate the power of simplicity. We have a tendency it seems to over complicate our lives and forget what's important and what's not. We tend to mistake movement for achievement. We tend to focus on activities instead of results. And as the pace of life continues to race along in the outside world, we forget that we have the power to control our lives regardless of what's going on outside. -Robert Stuberg-
