Sharing some thoughts, poems...
some of my favorite things...

We can only offer
That which we have to give
We can't make others
Accept it

To Thine Own Self Be True

There, my blessings with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
Look thou character, Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar;
The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but, being in,
Bear't that the opposed may, beware of thee,
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgement.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are most select and genereous, chief in that.
Neither a borrower, nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thow canst not then be false to any man.

Living Faith
....is a Rock with Roots.

by Puzant Kevork Thomajan
(20th century American writer and poet)

Heaven is full of answers to prayers
for which no one ever bothered
to ask.

....Billy Graham (American Evangelist)

We can do no great things..
only small things..with Great Love..

..Mother Teresa
( Founder, Missionaries of Charity)

Should I hesitate in my steps
And I walk when you bid me run
Please understand
I've stumbled before.

When you plunge into the water
And you urge me to jump right in
Please understand
I've strangled before

And in the heat of passion
You bid me come to you
Please understand
I've been....
Please, just understand.
