Virtue

It is a virtue to live generously! 

On the other hand, don't be left standing empty-handed because you did most of the giving.

Generously give and WISELY choose what to give. 

And also....receive...another virtue.

Courage

Courage......the cry of a true warrior! You gotta fight for the right just to live your life right! But ...it will pay off! You will see! Courage is bravery magnified. 


Hold on to hope.....and guard your heart.....it is the wellspring of life. From the heart (and the wisdom that is planted there) comes the answer: "There is hope.....no matter what happens!!"

Keep the flame of courage burning in your heart and in your mind. Don't give up on YOU. You matter today just like you mattered this same day last week. Don't let anyone tell you are not valuable or that you are less than "wonderfully made". He.....the Maker of us all said that you are wonderfully made.....and that you are "made in His image"......with the ability to choose what is good, and right and best for YOU!!

Out With The Old


Last Week I threw out WORRYING,
It was getting old and in the way.
It kept me from being me,
I couldn't do things my way.
I threw out those inhibitions,
They were just crowding me out.
Made room for my New Growth,
Got rid of my old dreams and doubts.

I threw out a book on MY PAST
(didn't have time to read it anyway).
Replaced it with New Goals,
Started reading it today.
I threw out childhood toys
(remember how I treasured them so)?
Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too,
Threw out the one from long ago.

Bought in some new books too,
Called I CAN, I WILL, and I MUST.
Threw out I might, I think and I ought.
WOW, You should've seen the dust.
I ran across an OLD FRIEND,
Haven't seen him in a while.
I believe his name is GOD,
Yes, I really like His style.

He helped me to do some cleaning
And added some thing's Himself.
Like PRAYER, HOPE and FAITH,
Yes I placed them right on the shelf.
I picked up this special thing
And placed it at the front door.
I FOUND IT - its called PEACE.
Nothing gets me down anymore.

Yes, I've got my house looking nice.
Looks good around the place.
For things like Worry and Trouble
There just isn't any place.
Its good to do a little house cleaning,
Get rid of the old things on the shelf.
It sure makes things brighter,
Maybe you should TRY IT YOURSELF.
