Rainbow in Your Heart

RAINBOW IN YOUR HEART

A rainbow is a blessing
Of a covenant to keep
God placed it in the sky
To say His promise was complete

And so I pray into your heart
A rainbow blessing too
For you to know the touch of God
His loving vow for you


For He will always keep you close
Held safe within His hand
For the color of His heart
To forever understand

Every shade of his palette
Swirled to liven up your world
To see all of His beauty
His wonder to unfurl


May red tell of His perfect gift
Orange, the joyous fruit of life
Yellow the glow of golden sunshine
Green, the glowing in His light

Blue the heights of heaven above
Indigo, His mighty depths
Violet, His peace within your heart
The everlasting promise
of the wondrous love He sends

..Do Something..

Do something today to bring gladness
To someone whose pleasures are few
Do something to drive off sadness--
Or cause someone’s dream to come true.
Find time for a neighborly greeting
And time to delight an old friend;
Remember,-- the years are fleeting
And life’s latest day will soon end.
Do something to-day that to-morrow
Will prove to be really worthwhile;
Help someone to conquer sorrow
And greet the new dawn with a smile.
For only through kindness and giving
Of service and friendship and cheer,
We learn the pure joy of giving
And find Heaven’s happiness here.

Embracing Imperfection

A touching story by a girl.

"When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.

On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of fruits and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember Watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!

When I got Up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad For burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said: 'Baby, I love burned toast.'

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if He really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!' You know, life is full of imperfect things.....and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook.

What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is the one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting marriage relationship.

And that's my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your married life and lay them at the feet of GOD. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a marriage where burnt toast isn't a deal-breaker! We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!! "


"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket."

Positive Side of Life

Positive Side of Life

Living on Earth is expensive,
but it does include a free trip around the sun every year.

How long a minute is depends on what side of the
bathroom door you're on.

Birthdays are good for you;
the more you have,
the longer you live.

Happiness comes through doors you
didn't even know you left open.

Ever notice that the people who are late are often much jollier
than the people who have to wait for them?

Most of us go to our grave
with our music still inside of us.

If Walmart is lowering prices every day,
how come nothing is free yet?

You may be only one person in the world,
but you may also be the world to one person.

Some mistakes are too much fun
to only make once.

Don't cry because it's over;
smile because it happened.

We could learn a lot from crayons:
some are sharp, some are pretty,
some are dull, some have weird names,
and all are different colors....
but they all exist very nicely in the same box.

A truly happy person is one who
can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Have an awesome day,
and know that someone who thinks you're great
has thought about you today!
"And that person was me."....

Build Your Self Esteem

Build Your Self Esteem

Pay attention to your own needs and wants.
Listen to what your body, your mind, and your heart are telling you.

For instance, if your body is telling you that you have been sitting down too long, stand up and stretch.

If your heart is longing to spend more time with a special friend, do it.

If your mind is telling you to clean up your basement, listen to your favorite music, or stop thinking bad thoughts about yourself, take those thoughts seriously.


Take very good care of yourself. As you were growing up you may not have learned how to take good care of yourself.

In fact, much of your attention may have been on taking care of others, on just getting by, or on "behaving well."
Begin today to take good care of yourself.

Treat yourself as a wonderful parent would treat a small child or as one very best friend might treat another.

If you work at taking good care of yourself, you will find that you feel better about yourself.

It's called Mindset !!!
