SYMPHONY OF CONTENTMENT

TO LIVE CONTENT with small means

TO SEEK ELEGANCE rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion

TO BE WORTHY, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich

TO STUDY HARD, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly

TO LISTEN TO STARS and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart

TO BEAR ALL cheerfully, do all bravely await occasions, hurry never,

IN A WORD to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common

This is to be my symphony

(William Henry Channing)

SAAT INI

Janganlah khawatir akan hari esok

Yang ada adalah selalu hari ini

Kemarin telah berlalu, entah ke mana, tak seorangpun yang dapat menjelaskannya

Tiap menit hidupmu adalah berharga, buatlah hal tersebut menjadi bermakna

Tidak ada saat lain; selalu saat ini, hanya saat ini

Hanya saat inilah kesempatan emas, saat yang pantas untuk dibela

Hanya saat ini, dimulai tanpa awal.  Hanya saat inilah tidak pernah berakhir

Jangankan khawatir akan hari esok, karena hari inilah yang harus kau isi

Dengan semua yang benar dan mulia

Dan, waktu untuk itu adalah - SAAT INI

(Anonim)

MAY I BECOME

May I become at all times, both now and forever
A protector for those without protection
A guide for those who have lost their way
A ship for those with oceans to cross
A bridge for those with rivers to cross
A sanctuary for those in danger
A lamp for those without light
A place of refuge for those who lack shelter
And a servant to all in need.

TRUST IN GOD

TRUST in His timing

RELY on His promises

WAIT for His answer

BELIEVE in His miracles

REJOICE in His goodness

RELAX in His presence

"Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in HIM."
(Psalms 34:8)

LIFE IS WORTH LIVING

Through life, comes good, comes bad
Things make us happy and make us sad
People give out love, but also hate
Those that share love are closes mates

At times in life we feel unappreciated
And that all people are filled with hatred
We could hold grudges but what are they worth
Feelings of bitterness whilst we live on this earth

Forgive and forget the mistakes people make
We have fallen guilty to giving less then we take
Share love, laughter and positive feelings
And you will begin to see that life is worth living!

PSALM 23

The Lord is my Shepherd - that is relationship!

I shall not want - that is supply!

He make me to lie down in green pastures - that is rest!

He restores my soul - that is healing!

He lead me in the paths of righteousness - that is guidance!

For His name sake - that is purpose!

Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death - that is testing!

I will fear no evil - that is protection!

For You are with me - that is faithfulness!

Your rod and your staff they comfort me - that is discipline!

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies - that is hope!

You anoint my head with oil - that is consecration!

My cup running over - that is abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life - that is blessing!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord - that is security!

Forever - that is eternity!

To God be the glory...

LIFE LESSONS I HAVE LEARNED

The world is not out to get you.  There is no conspiracy against you

Everything and everyone has come into your life to help and guide you in some manner.  Be open to it

No matter what is going on around you, you have the choice on how you want to react and ultimately feel

Your life is blessed every single day, in so many ways, and when you begin to realise that, you begin to see your whole life as one continuous miracle!

Every person and situation is a teacher and a lesson.  Be open to it all!

The world and your life is how you perceive it, not what others say.  That is their perception

When you are ready for change, your life will change.  All you have to do is say the words

Taking risks/chances only improves your life.  You grow from it no matter the outcome

No matter what has happened in your life that keeps you feeling "stuck" from moving forward, you can overcome anything if you give yourself the gift of forgiveness

Your past does not dictate your future

Love really does exist.  Not over there, not in him or her or in that car or that job.  Stop the wild goose chase.  It is been in you all along

You were born for greatness and only you choose to fill this calling or not

DO GOOD ANYWAY

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true friends;
Succeed anyway

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world your best anyway

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway

P.U.S.H

When everything seems to go wrong!

When the jobs get you down!

When your family don't get along!

When people don't reach out to you the way you think they should!

When you are lonely and depressed!

When people just don't understand you!

When your money is gone and the bills are due!

Pray Until Something Happens
