THIS IS ONE OF THE NICEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL USES OF THE ALPHABET THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN.
Although things are not perfect
Because of trials or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high
Yes,there'll be good times & yes some will be bad, but...
Zion waits in glory...where no one is ever sad!

And the fight started!!!!!
My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, 'What's on TV?'
I said, 'Dust.'
And then the fight started...
--------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -----
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said,'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3
seconds.'
I bought her a set of bathroom scales.
And then the fight started...
----- --------- --------- --------- ---------
When I got home last night,my wife demanded that I take her some place
expensive... so,I took her to a petrol station.
And then the fight started...
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------
After retiring through redundancy, I went to the Pension office to apply for my benefit. The woman behind the counter asked me
for my driver's licence to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and
realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very
sorry,but I would have to go home and come back later.
The woman said,'Unbutton your shirt'.So I opened my shirt revealing
my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof
enough for me' and she processed my application.
When I got home,I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the
pension office.She said,
'You should have dropped your pants.You might have got
disability benefit, too.'
And then the fight started...
--------- --------- --------- --------- ------------ --------- ---
My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I
kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a
nearby table.
My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'
'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend.I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago,and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'
'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating
that long?'
And then the fight started...
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------
I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order
first.
"I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?""
"Nah", I said, "she can order for herself."
And then the fight started...
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -----
A woman is standing nude,looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy
with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old,
fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'
The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'
And then the fight started.....
------------ --------- --------- --------- -- --------- ---------
A man and a woman were asleep like two innocent babies. Suddenly, at 3
o'clock in the morning, a loud noise came from outside. The woman,
bewildered, jumped up from the bed and yelled at the man 'Holy crap. That
must be my husband!'
So the man jumped out of the bed; scared and naked jumped out the window.
He smashed himself on the ground, ran through
a thorn bush and to his car
as fast as he could go.
A few minutes later he returned and went up to the bedroom and screamed at
the woman, 'I AM your husband!'
The woman yelled back, 'Yeah, then why were you running?'
And then the fight started.....
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- - --------- ---------
Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed
the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to
the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.
The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on
the radio, and discovered that the
weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly
undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now
with a different anticipation, and whispered, 'The weather out there is
terrible.'
My loving wife of 10 years
replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband is
out fishing in that?'
And then the fight started ...
------------ --------- --------- ------------ -------- --------- ----
I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary?
It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. "Somewhere
I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested, "How
about the
kitchen?"
And that's when the fight started....
------------ ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- -- ---------
My wife and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in
bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?"
"No," she
answered.
I then said, "Is that your final answer?" She didn't even look
at me
this time, simply saying "Yes." So I said, "Then I'd like
to phone a
friend."
And that's when the fight started....
She asked, 'What's on TV?'
I said, 'Dust.'

The Seed
A successful business man was growing old and
Knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business.
Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children,
He decided to do something different. He called all the young
Executives in his company together.
He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I
have decided to choose one of you.
"The young executives were Shocked, but the boss continued.” I am
Going to give each one of you a SEED today - one very special SEED.
I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year
From today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you.
I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will
be the next CEO."
One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others,
Received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story.
She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed.
Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had
Grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to
Talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.
Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.
Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing.
By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a
plant and he felt like a failure.
Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had
killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had
nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however... He just
kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the seed to
grow.
A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company
brought their plants to the CEO for inspection.
Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot.
But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick to
his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his
life, but he knew his wife was right.
He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was
amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They
were beautiful -- in all shapes and sizes.
Jim put his empty pot on the floor and
many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!
When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives.
Jim just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees, and
flowers you have grown," said the CEO. "Today one of you will be
appointed the next CEO!"
All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his
empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the
front.
Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a
failure! Maybe he will have me fired!"
When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his
seed - Jim told him the story.
The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and
then announced to the young executives, "Behold your next Chief
Executive Officer! His name is Jim!"
Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed.
"How could he be the new CEO?" the others said.
Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a
seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it
back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it
was not possible for them to grow.
All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers.
When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another
seed for the one I gave you.
Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot
with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief
Executive Officer!"
* If you plant honesty, you will reap trust
* If you plant goodness, you will reap friends
* If you plant humility, you will reap greatness
* If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment
* If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective
* If you plant hard work, you will reap success
* If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation
* If you plant faith in God , you will reap a harvest
So, be careful what you plant now;
it will determine what you will reap later..

Memo From God
Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help. If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. It will be addressed in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it.
-If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
-Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
-Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
-Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the man in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed his children.
-Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
-Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
-Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
-Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be them!!!!
