Love is the joy of the good,
the wonder of the wise,
the amazement of the Gods.

The most important thing in life
is to learn how to give out love,
and to let it come in.
Let it come in.
We think we don't deserve love,
we think if we let it in
we'll become too soft.
But a wise man named Levine
said it right. He said,
'Love is the only rational act.'



It is well to be happy and wise
and well to be honest and true;
it is well to be off with the old love,
before you are on with the new.

Love is the wisdom of the fool
and the folly of the wise.

Love can be an enemy or a friend;
it can be a poison or a remedy;
it can kill or give life to others,
so use it wisely.

The more you get hurt
in the world of love,
the wiser you are in the life of love.

Love ... it is merely a word
that we all try to define
to ease our search for true love.
It has a different meaning for everyone.
Trying to define it will only
make it harder to find.
So, why not find it first?
Then you come up with
a fancy definition for it later
and sound all wise,
because then you'll know
what you're talking about.

Oh, Love is the crooked thing,
there is nobody wise enough
to find out all that is in it,
for he will be thinking about love
til the stars run away and
the shadows eaten the moon...

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even
heard,
but must be felt with the heart.
--Helen Keller

I don't know what your destiny will be,
but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy
are those who have sought and found how to serve.

Do all the good you can
By all the means you can
In all the ways you can

To all the people you can
As long as ever you can

Love

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weakness.

Love is content with the present, it hopes for the future, and it doesn’t brood over the past. It’s the day-in and day-out chronicle of irritations, problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories and working toward common goals.

If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you don’t have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it’s not enough

Special Delivery

Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the Surgeon come out of the operating room, saying: "How is my little boy? Is he going to be O.K.? When can I see him?"
The surgeon responded, "I'm sorry, we did all we could." Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer, doesn't GOD care any more? GOD, where were you when my son needed you?"
The surgeon softly told her, "One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes to let you spend time with your son's remains before it's transported to the university".
Sally asked that the nurse stay with her while she said good-bye to her son. As she ran her fingers through his thick red curly hair, the nurse said, "Would you like a lock of his hair?"
Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of his hair and put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.
She gazed at her son’s body as she spoke to the nurse.
"It was Jimmy's idea to give his body to the university for study. He said it might help somebody else, and that is what he wanted. I said, no at first, but Jimmy said, ‘Mom I won't be using it after I die, maybe it will help some other little boy to be able to spend one more day with his mother’. My Jimmy had a heart of gold, always thinking of someone else and always wanting to help others if he could".

Sally walked out of the Children's Hospital for the last time now after spending most of the last 6 months there. She sat the bag with Jimmy's things in it on the seat beside of her in the car. The drive home was hard and it was even harder to go into an empty house. She took the bag to Jimmy's room and started placing the model cars and things back in his room exactly where he always kept them. She lay down across his bed and cried herself to sleep holding his pillow. Sally woke up about midnight and lying beside her on the bed, was a letter folded up.
She opened the letter, it said:
Dear Mom,
I know you're going to miss me, but don't think that I will ever forget you or stop loving you because I'm not around to say I LOVE YOU. I'll think of you every day mom and I'll love you even more each day. Some day we will see each other again. If you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, he can have my room and my old stuff to play with. If you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things as us boys do, so you will have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like.
Don't be sad when you think about me, this is really a great place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything here.
The Angels are so friendly, and I love to watch them fly. Jesus doesn't look like any of the pictures I saw of Him, but I knew it was Him as soon as I saw Him. Jesus took me to see GOD! And guess what mom? I got to sit on GOD'S knee and talk to Him like I was somebody important. I told GOD that I wanted to write you a letter and tell you good-bye and everything, but I knew that wasn't allowed. God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter with. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel that is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him about... “Where was He when I needed him?”
God said, "The same place He was when Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.” Oh, by the way Mom, nobody else can see what is written on this paper but you. To everyone else, it looks like a blank piece of paper.
I have to give God His pen back now, He has some more names to write in the Book Of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great. I almost forgot to let you know - now I don't hurt anymore, the cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me suffer the pain either, so He sent The Angel of Mercy to get me. The Angel said I was Special Delivery!

Important Question



During my second month of nursing school, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: 'What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. Absolutely, said the professor. "In your careers you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello". I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

Winners of Ice Dancing 2006 Torino Italy

In China back in the 1970’s most of the people were isolated from the world with no outside TV or news. China decided to enter ice dancing in the Olympics and called upon a boy named Yoew Bin who grew up skating.



The Chinese started training couples for intering the skating competition. Because of the isolation of China, they only had to go by some imported newspaper clippings and what their inexperienced coaches knew.



Even though they were rusty they left China for the first time to enter the World Championships. There was not enough money for the coaches to go so they went alone, not knowing anything about the world outside China and only speaking Chinese. Their skating was terrible in competition and they fell many times. The crowd laughed at them as they left the ice. Yeow Bin left the ice dejected but determined.



Over the next 30 years he became a coach and with great determination he developed the Chinese ice skaters into world-class competitors.





Shen and Zhao were his skaters that he trained in China over the last few years and planned on entering them into the 2006 Olympics.





But the male skater had an accident 2 years ago and cut his Achilles tendon in two. He had surgery to repair his tendon and many people doubted he would skate again.





He continued to train as best he could with his foot in a cast.





The couple trained and practiced hard. Zhao had to get a special ice skate shoe big enough to support his repaired heel.





They entered into 2006 Olympics





and Monday night won third place Bronze.



Yeow’s other skating team was Zhang Hao and Zhang Dan. They were a dynamic couple with very good jumps.




They decided to try what had never been done in Olympic history: a quadruple salchow. Monday night he threw Zhang Dan into the air for this never been done maneuver.





She landed wrong and crashed to the ice damaging her left knee.





She could barely stand after sliding into the retaining wall.





She was helped off the ice where she was checked over by coach Yeow Bin. After a few minutes they decided to try and finish their performance and pickup where they left off.





They skated carefully for the next part of their routine.





And finished the rest of their performance flawlessly to the standing ovation of the whole coliseum. Even with the fall, they won second place receiving the silver medal. Many couples would have quit after such an embarrassing and painful fall.





And then there was the Russian Couple Totmiyanina and Marinin.





They had an accident 1 year ago in competition when during a hand lift maneuver his skate caught an edge.





Marinin fell to the ice hitting her head and knocked unconscious.





She was put in the hospital a few days where she regained consciousness. He was devastated and lost all of his confidence. Many skaters would have quit after such a tragedy.





They gradually skated simple moves and advanced back to jumps and lifts.





Monday night they skated their best and won the Gold.





All three of these couples over came setbacks, hardships, and physical pain.



There is a Chinese saying:

The strong and beautiful tree of success
grows from the seedling of failure and struggle.

You will only achieve your goals by hard work and determination.

Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel You
I need to hear You
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.

How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?
Would You tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms, and You give me rest.
You hold me in your hands,You won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and You take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?
Would You tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by You?
Would You tell me how could it be any better than this?

Cause You're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything,everything
You're all I want your all I need

And How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?
Would You tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by You?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by You?
Would You tell me how could it be any better than this?

Would You tell me how could it be any better than this?

The Power of Your Actions

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friend the following afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.

My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye.
I handed him his glasses and said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives.
He looked at me and said, "Hey, thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. It turned out he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before coming to this school.

I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. We hung all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Damn boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!". He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class.

I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.

Graduation day arrived - I saw Kyle and he looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him!

Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"

He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story."

I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.

Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.

"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."
