Freda Bright says, "Only in opera do people die of love." It's true.
You really can't love somebody to death. I've known people to die
from no love, but I've never known anyone to be loved to death. We
just can't love one another enough.

A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her
boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and
apprehensive. Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to
approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise.

The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with
their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come
home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from
the office had tipped him off. Or . did he just somehow know that she
would not get turned down?

She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They
embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her
plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read:
"Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things
will tell you how much I love you."

Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up.
She noticed that a second card had fallen from his pocket.
Picking it off the floor, she read: "Don't worry about not getting
the raise! You deserve it anyway! These things will tell you how much
I love you."

Someone has said that the measure of love is when you love without
measure. What this man feels for his spouse is total acceptance and
love, whether she succeeds or fails. His love celebrates her
victories and soothes her wounds.

He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction. He
may say that he loves her to death. But he doesn't. He loves her to
LIFE. For his love nourishes her life like nothing else can.

Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa said: "What can
you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family." And
love your friends. Love them without measure.

Love them to LIFE.

Yesterday I met a stranger...

Today this stranger is my friend. Had I not taken the time to say
hello, or return a smile, or shake a hand, or listen, I would not
have known this person.
Yesterday would have turned into today,
and our chance meeting would be gone.

Yesterday I hugged someone very dear to me. Today they are
gone... and tomorrow will not bring them back.

Wouldn't it be nice if we all knew tomorrow they would be here?
But this is not to be, so take the time TODAY to give a hug, a smile,
an "I love you."

JUST FOR TODAY,
....smile at a stranger
....listen to someone's heart
....drop a coin where a child can find it
....learn something new, then teach it to someone
....tell someone you're thinking of them
....hug a loved one
....don't hold a grudge
....don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry"
....look a child in the eye and tell them how great they are
....look beyond the face of a person into their heart
....make a promise, and keep it
....call someone, for no other reason than to just say "hi"
....show kindness to an animal
....stand up for what you believe in
....smell the rain, feel the breeze, listen to the wind
....use all your senses to their fullest
....cherish all your TODAYS

A Penny For Your Thoughts

I'll never again pick up a penny without thinking of this.

Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were invited to
spend the weekend at the husband's employer's home. My friend,
Arlene, was nervous about the weekend. The boss was very wealthy,
with a fine home on the waterway, and cars costing more than her
house.

The first day and evening went well, and Arlene was delighted to have
this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live.

The husband's employer was quite generous as a host, and took them to
the finest restaurants. Arlene knew she would never have the
opportunity to indulge in this kind of extravagance again, so was
enjoying herself immensely.

As the three of them were about to enter an exclusive restaurant that
evening, the boss was walking slightly ahead of Arlene and her
husband. He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement for a
long, silent moment.

Arlene wondered if she was supposed to pass him. There was nothing on
the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped,
and a few cigarette butts.

Still silent, the man reached down and picked up the penny.

He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had
found a great treasure.

How absurd! What need did this man have for a single penny?
Why would he even take the time to stop and pick it up? Throughout
dinner, the entire scene nagged at her. Finally, she could stand it
no longer. She causally mentioned that her daughter once had a coin
collection, and asked if the penny he had found had been valuable.

A smile crept across the man's face as he reached into his pocket for
the penny and held it out for her to see. She had seen many pennies
before. What was the point of this?

"Look at it," he said. "Read what it says."

She read the words "United States of America."

"No, not that; read further."

"One cent?"

"No, keep reading."

"In God we Trust?"

"Yes!"

"And?"

"And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin.

Whenever I find a coin, I see that inscription. It is written on
every single United States coin, but we never seem to notice it.

God drops a message right in front of me telling me to trust Him.

Who am I to pass it by?

When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if my trust IS in God at
that moment. I pick the coin up as a response to God; that I do trust
in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were gold.
I think it is God's way of starting a conversation with me.

Lucky for me, God is patient and pennies are plentiful."

When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on the sidewalk. I
stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying and
fretting in my mind about things I cannot change. I read the
words, "In God We Trust," and had to laugh.

Yes, God, I get the message. It seems that I have been finding an
inordinate number of pennies in the last few months, but then,
pennies are plentiful. And God is patient.

WE HAVE NOT SEEN, WE CANNOT SEE
by John M. Neale

We have not seen, we cannot see,
The happy land above,
From sin and death and suffering free,
Where all is peace and love.

We only see the path is long
By which we have to go;
We only feel the foes are strong
Who seek to work us woe.

We have not seen, we cannot see
The cross our Master bore,
With all its pains, that we might be
The slaves of sin no more.

We only think it hard to part
With every pleasant sin,
And give to God a perfect heart,
And make Him Lord within.

We walk by faith, and not by sight;
And, blessèd saint, like thee,
We sometimes doubt if faith tells right,
Because we cannot see.

Upon the promise we would lean
Thy doubting heart received;
Blessèd are they that have not seen,
And that have yet believed.


Christine
