God fill your marriage
with memories to treasure...
Of faith and trust along the way
of love too deep to measure...
And bring to you as man and wife,
the happiness of knowing,
That God who fills your cup of life,
will keep it overflowing.
As the sun goes down,
we realize
that another day is coming to an end.
We feel for your family and close friends
at the loss of your loved one.
We wish you the peace
and assurance
that the reasons are there.
They may be beyond our understanding
at this time, but they do exist.
We pray you are comforted
during this
time of grief, through your friends and family.
We just want you to know,
(NAME), that
our thoughts and prayers are with you.
As children bring their
broken toys,
With tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God,
Because He was my friend.
But then instead of leaving
Him,
In peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help,
With ways that were my own.
At last I snatched them
back and cried,
'How could you be so slow?'
'(NAME),' He said,
'What could I do? You never did let go.'
When I start my tour
of duty God,
wherever crime may be,
As I walk the darkened streets alone,
let me be close to thee.
Please give me understanding
with both the young and old.
Let me listen with attention
until their story's told.
Let me never make a judgment
in a rash or callous way.
But let me hold my patience,
let each man have his say.
Lord if some dark and dreary night,
I must give my life,
Lord with your everlasting love
protect my family and my wife.
Go placidly amid the
noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly
and clearly; and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for
always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own
career,
however humble, it's a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what truth there is; many persons
strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially
do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the
grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of
youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not
distress
yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of
the
universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding
as it should.
Therefore (person's name), be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him
to be. And whatever
your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in
your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
When things go wrong
as they sometimes will.
When the road you're crossing seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you try to smile but you have to sigh.
When cares are pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must,
But, (NAME) don't quit.
Don't give up, though
the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with your next blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
It's the difference between faith and doubt.
You may be close, though it seems so far.
It's hard to tell how close you really are.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem their worse,
That you must not quit.
When I am called to duty,
God, wherever flames may rage,
Give me the strength to save some life, whatever be its age.
Help me embrace a little child before it is too late,
Or save an older person from the horror of the fate.
Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout,
And quickly and efficiently to put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me,
To guard my every neighbor and protect their property.
And if according to your will I have to lose my life,
Please bless with Your protecting hand
My children and my wife.
Footprints in the Sand
(Gender appropriate)
One night a man had a
dream that he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two
sets
of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him, the other belonging to the
Lord.
When the last scene of
his life flashed before him, he looked back at the
footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints, and that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in his life...
This really bothered
him and he questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me
all the way.
But during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of
footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most, you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My
precious, precious child. I love you, (NAME), and I would never
leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one
set of
footprints, it was then that I carried you."
I said a prayer for you
today, (NAME),
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart,
although He spoke no word.
I didn't ask for wealth
or fame,
I knew you wouldn't mind.
I asked Him to send treasures,
Of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that He'd be
near you,
At the start of each new day.
To grant you health and blessings,
And friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness
for you,
In all things great and small.
But it was His loving care,
I prayed for most of all.
I shall pass this way but once.
Therefore any good that
I can do,
Or any kindness that I can show,
Let me do it now.
For I shall not pass this way again.
I am the Way
Take God's hand, He's calling you, (NAME).
He offers help in all you do.
Let not life's cares
your heart dismay,
God planned for you a better way.
Then turn from fear,
let faith abide,
Your gracious Lord is by you side.
Kneel down in peace and
gently pray,
For Jesus said... "I am the Way".
When someone does a kindness
It always seems to me...
That's the way God up in heaven
Would like us all to be.
For when we bring some
pleasure,
To another human heart,
We have followed in His footsteps,
We've had a little part...
In serving Him who loves
us,
For I am sure it's true,
That in serving those around us,
We serve and please Him too.
God bless my little kitchen,
I love its every nook.
And Bless me as I do my work,
Wash pots and pans and cook.
And may the meals that I prepare
Be seasoned from above,
With Thy great blessing
And Thy grace,
But most of all Thy Love.
Our Father, who shall
be termed party of the first part,
Whose place of business is in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom, pursuant to terms and conditions, come.
Thy will, duly uncontested, be done on earth,
in so far as existing statutes permit, as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts,
notwithstanding claims, liens and legal costs, as we,
who shall be termed party of the second part, forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation (i.e., sin, corruption, greed, gluttony, etc.),
but deliver us from evil, the nature of which shall be determined by the Court.
For Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and, pending appeal, the Glory forever.
Amen
I know that there has
been so much
that you have been through.
Life sometimes hands
us challenges to
test our ability and courage.
Your illness has been
a very trying experience,
I know, but you have shown so much faith and
strength in everything you've been through.
I'm so glad, (NAME),
that you are almost over this
trial, and that you will soon be able to get back
to the things you enjoy and the people you love.
I am so proud of you,
and glad that you are going
to be well again soon.
Love is patient, Love
is kind
Love is not jealous, is not proud.
Is not puffed up,
It does not behave badly.
Love does not easily get angry,
It does not think evil.
Love does not rejoice
in iniquity,
But rejoices in the truth.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
Hopes all things, endures all things
Love never fails.
You are a witness to
many miracles,
This fact you may not know.
If you'll open your eyes to God's wonders,
These miracles will be shown.
The miracle of friendship,
The miracle of true love.
The miracle of laughter,
The miracle of our tears.
The miracle of our growing and maturing o'er the years,
The miracle of each loved one.
The miracle of joy that
comes with the miracle
Of a newborn girl or boy.
Oh, let is focus our
clouded eyes,
On miracles all 'round.
For whenever we can see clearly,
God's miracles can be found.
When you are lonely
I wish you love.
When you are down
I wish you joy.
When you are troubled
I wish you peace.
When things are complicated
I wish you simple beauty.
When things are chaotic
I wish you inner silence.
When things look empty
I wish you hope.
Oh, Great Spirit whose
voice I hear in the winds
and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me.
I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold
the red and purple sunset.
Make my eyes respect
the things that you have
created and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the sacred
things you have taught my people. Help me to learn
the many lessons that you have hidden in every
part of creation. I seek strength not to be greater
than my brother or sister, but to fight and conquer
my greatest enemy - myself.
Make me always ready
to come to you with clean hands
and straight eyes, so when life fades as the fading
sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.
Let me dedicate my life
today
to the care of those
who come my way.
Let me touch each one
with healing hand
and the gentle art
for which I stand.
And then tonight
when day is done,
O let me rest in peace
if I helped just one...
Policeman's Prayer
When I start my tour
of duty God,
wherever crime may be,
As I walk the darkened streets alone,
let me be close to thee.
Please give me understanding
with both the young and old.
Let me listen with attention
until their story's told.
Let me never make a judgment
in a rash or callous way.
But let me hold my patience,
let each man have his say.
Lord if some dark and dreary night,
I must give my life,
Lord with your everlasting love
protect my family and my wife.
Lord, I ask for courage
Courage to face and conquer my own fears.
Courage to take me where others will not go.
I ask strength
Strength of body to protect others,
And strength of spirit to lead others.
I ask for dedication
Dedication to my job, to do it well,
Dedication to my community, to keep it safe.
Give me, Lord, concern for those who trust me,
And compassion for those who need me.
And please, Lord, through it all,
Be at my side.
Rainbows appear after
mighty storms,
When things look their very worst.
Just when skies are darkest gray,
Look for the rainbow first.
The rainbow is a sign
of God's promise,
That He will guide us trough all our trials.
No matter what their
form,
When you feel battered by life's storms,
And you are filled with doubt and dismay,
Just remember God's rainbow will come,
For it's only a prayer away.
To laugh is - to risk
appearing the fool.
To weep is - to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is - to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is - to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas before the crowd is - to risk their loss.
To love is - to risk not being loved in return.
To live is - to risk dying.
To hope is - to risk despair.
To try is - to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest
hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing,
has nothing and is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
but he simply cannot learn, feel,
change, grow, love -- LIVE.
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave,
he has forfeited freedom.
Only a person who risks is free!
A good marriage must
be created.
In marriage the little things become the big things.
It is never being too
old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say I Love You at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives
It is standing together facing the world.
It is forming a circle of love that gathers the whole family.
It is speaking words of appreciation
and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other room to grow.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is not only marrying
the right person.
It is being the right partner
Our Father
Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those
Who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil;
For Thine is the Kingdom,
And the Power,
And the Glory, forever.
Amen
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change, courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this
sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will
make all things right if I
surrender to His will;
That I may be reasonably
happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen
Thank You god,
For the gift of winter.
For the cold frosty snow
And shimmering icicles,
For frozen lakes and rivers
And most of all for snowflakes,
Ever so beautiful, so special,
So one of a kind.
Let them remind me that
I am like that in Your eyes...
So beautiful, so special,
So one of a kind.
Thank You God for snowflakes,
Thank You God, for me.
It is the soldier, not
the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the soldier, like (NAME), who salutes
the flag, who serves under the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag.
Thou shalt have no other
gods before me
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image -
Thou shalt not take the Name
of the Lord thy God in vain
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy
Honor thy father and thy mother
That thy days may be long upon the land
Which the Lord thy God giveth thee
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
Thou shalt not covet
I find comfort for each
care,
Wrapped in a promise wondrous fair.
No matter what the grief or pain,
There will be sunshine after the rain.
A softest rainbow spans
the sky.
A symbol He keeps watch on high.
If we abide in Him each day,
We can never lose our way.
Immortal love through
time to be,
Is what He planned for you and me.
Accept His help, (NAME), turn not away,
There is new hope in God each day.

On the past and on the present
and what the future might expect.

Cleaning and scrubbing
Can wait till tomorrow,
For babies grow up
We've learned to our sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs,
Dust go to sleep,
I'm rocking my baby,
And babies don't keep.
My Perfect Child
(Select Appropriate Gender)
As my children were born,
I wanted them to be perfect.
When they were babies, I wanted them to smile and to be content
playing with their toys.
I wanted them to be happy
and to laugh continually instead
of crying and being demanding. I wanted them to see
the beautiful side of life.
As they grew older, I
wanted them to be giving instead of selfish.
I wanted them to skip the terrible twos.
I wanted them to stay innocent forever.
As they became teenagers,
I wanted them to be obedient and not
rebellious, mannerly and not mouthy. I wanted them to be gentle,
kindhearted, and full of love.
"Oh, God, give me
a child like this," was often my prayer.
One day He did.
Some call (GENDER) handicapped... I call (GENDER) perfect.
I just want you to know...

Knowing that you care and understand me,

to be with,

Just how happy you have made me, (NAME),
And how glad I am there's you!
If I had (NAME) to raise
all over again,
I'd build self-esteem first and the house later.
I'd finger-paint more and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off
my watch and watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less and know to care more.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious and seriously play.
I would run through more
fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often.
I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.
I'd model less about
the love of power,
and more about the power of love.

(NAME)

I feel the intensity
Of loving you
Like you could never imagine.
What I want more than

Is to hold you in my arms
And tell you just how much I love you,
And how much I want you in my life.
Please...
Don't ever doubt my love for you.
Because it is as real today
As it was the day
We first began to share a love.
Sister
We ran and played and
shared our toys …
How I remember childhood joys.
We shared a home with
Mom and Dad …
These memories now make me glad.

We see each other less
these days, but …
You'll be close to me always.

The ties that bind are in the Heart!

Important to us as...
True friends!

She doesn't say, "Now Hurry Up!"

God made a wonderful
mother,
A mother who never grows old.
He made her smile of
the sunshine,
And He molded her heart of pure gold.
In her eyes He placed
bright shining stars,
In her cheeks, fair roses you see.
God made that wonderful
mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.
A mother seems to be
specialized in doing thoughtful deeds,
Before you ask she understands your problems and your needs.
Quietly she does her
best to help, inspire and cheer,
And everything looks brighter right away because she's near.
She always has a lot
to do but still finds time to spare,
To listen and to give advice because she really cares.
She helps because she
wants to, she finds joy in being kind,
And making others happy is the first thing on her mind.
She makes this world
a better place by practicing the art,
Of reaching out to others and by giving from the heart.
For as long as I can
remember...
You were always by my side,
To give me support, confidence and help.
For as long as I can
remember...
You were always the person I looked up to,
So strong, so sensitive, so pretty.
For as long as I can
remember...
You always provided stability within our family,
Full of laughter, full of tears, full of love.
For as long as I can
remember...
And still today,
You are everything a mother should be.
Whatever I have become
is because of you...
... and I thank you forever for our relationship.
To one who bears
the sweetest name,
and adds lustre
to the same,
long life to her,
for there's no other,
who takes the place
of my dear mother.
A Special Wish
God has truly blessed
you with unique talents and abilities
And you have used His gifts extremely well.
Your positive attitude,
your willingness to try new things,
Your dedication, and your caring ways -
All this shows just how
much you've done, [NAME],
With His gifts...
Today as you celebrate
your accomplishments,
Remember that you are an important part of God's
wonderful plan.
The highest goal has
not yet been achieved,
The greatest idea has not been conceived.
The loftiest honor has
not been received,
The laurels are yours for the winning!
The sweetest melody hasn't
been sung,
The swiftest race has yet to be run.
The noblest victory hasn't
been won,
Make this your bright beginning.
When I started in school,
This day seemed so far away.
Now it's here and I can't
believe
That time has passed so quickly...
But through your encouragement
and guidance,
I feel I'm ready for tomorrow's challenges.
Teachers play such an
important part in shaping and guiding...
Especially teachers like you, (Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms LAST NAME). Thank you for
caring so much.
A teacher should have
A special place
In every child's heart.
Because in this game
of life,
They help them get their start.
I just want to thank
you, (Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms LAST NAME),
For all the things you've done.
You're a very special
teacher,
And to me you're number one!
Merry Christmas (Name)
May your holidays
be happy days,
filled with love
and laughter.
And may each day
bring joy your way
in the year
that follows after!
Carolers are singing
and joy is in the air...
Jingle bells are ringing...
It's Christmas everywhere!
May Christmas this year
Be your happiest yet,
May it bring you warm memories
You'll never forget.
May your favorite traditions
Bring pleasure to you,
May your loved ones and friends
Share your happiness, too!
