For anyone…
…who has lost someone they love…this is for you!!!
Sometimes people come into our lives
who have never ever brought us strife
they help us strive
with their timely words
and believe the best
and we are
never quite the same
because of their memories
they will remain
through the fire
and through the rain
they will always be a part
of us that has deeply touched our hearts
Though we may have to depart
it is as if their love
has just begun to start
as it soothes us down
down to the depths of our souls
it helps renew
and repair
our broken wings
as the sparrow sings anew
our praises will ring so true
for HE allowed them
to come into our lives
and we will never
be the same
again
because
whether they are here
with us still
or
gone
the traces of their unending love
forever
will stay
and we who remain
with or without them
are never quite the same

The Power of a Smile
The Power of a gun can kill
and the Power of fire can burn
The Power of the wind can chill
and the Power of the mind can learn
The Power of anger can rage inside until it tears you apart
BUT
The Power of a Smile especially yours can heal a frozen heart (Tupoc)!
Yes, a smile says it all. It coveys knowing and understanding of another. It is friendly as it can be given to anyone. It brings people closer together as it lessens the tension. It makes even the most depressed person feel good inside. Try it today, it is powerful, as you do accompany it with a hug. For the two are almost entirely inseparable when you deeply care about someone. A SMILE REALLY DOES SAY IT ALL!!!

I am So Glad God Made Friends
So, funny story….
I went to meet up with my friend, Dolores, on Friday afternoon at the beach for a good run to end the week. I hadn’t seen her since Christmas, so that was undoubtedly the best part.
Then, I was on my way back after fighting the Friday Traffic on the 8 Freeway ;0)~ and I saw my other good friend, Deanne, I sped up so I could say Hi, but she didn’t see me. I immediately whipped out my cell phone and called her, no answer, I left a message. She calls me back and I tell her that we were on the same freeway at the exact same time. She was bummed that she didn’t see me. We laughed, and went our separate ways.
I am so glad that God made friends for that among so many other reasons. Life is good, but it is even better with friends because friends make life so much more fun.

In Order that You and I
In order that you and I may spur one another on to love and good deeds. This is true friendship, this is true fellowship with another. One in which a genuine love is felt from both sides. You are free to be yourself and extend God’s mercy to those around you.
My dear friend, I am thankful for you. You have always been there to encourage and inspire me. God’s Faithfulness is seen in you because you are loyal and trustworthy. I know I can be myself when you are around. You are a rare gift from God and I Love you with all of my heart.
(Suzanne, Laura, Terina, Dolores, Deanne, Kaitlyn, and Rocio you are the best!!!)

For you, my Friend…
“For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and your love for all of the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of His Glorious inheritance in the saints and the incomparably great power for us who believe. The power is like the working of His mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come; and God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in everyway (Ephesians 1:15-23).”
A Friend is someone who loves me.
A Friend is someone who supports me.
A Friend is someone who stands by my side even in the midst of trials.
A Friend is honest and trustworthy.
A Friend loves at all times.
A Friend challenges and inspires me in more ways than one.
A Friend is someone I can share things with in complete confidence.
My dear friend, I thank you for being all of this in my life, you are truly a gift from God, a rare treasure, a precious gem that sparkles more beautifully than can be imagined. You have stood by me, you have challenged me, you have loved me and inspired me. I Love you for who you are. Thank you my dear friend you are so beautiful!!! I truly do thank God whenever I remember you in my prayers, because our Friendship brings Him so much Glory as it blesses His Name!!!
