Be wise to insure that every idle word spoken is carried with peace, driven with love, and filled with hope. For this we know is certain, one day our words will become our last.

Courtney James
Christian

----------------------------

Our memories are full of regrets. We remember words we should have said, but did not. We remember words we said, but should not have. There are great words we spoke, but just at the wrong time. Let us from this day forward, attempt to keep the regret of words spoken, or not, to a minimum. Let's season our words with love, and kindness. Because it is a true statement that one day we will speak words that will be our last. Make your words count.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Mother Teresa

I have noticed that it is the favorite passtime of many people to stand around and judge what others are doing or not doing. I'm not sure why we feel it is our duty to critisize others for the way we are doing things. It is as if we believe everyone should do things exactly as we do them.

Mother Teresa is right. If we are judging, we are not loving. Let love rule or judgement. There are differences in the way we think and act. Let not that cause a sharp eye and sharp tongue towards others. Love can overlook those things, and speak and act in kindness.

Women wish to be loved not because they are pretty, or good, or well bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.

Henri Frederic Amiel
1821-1881, Swiss Philosopher, Poet, Critic

-------------------------

Woman like to be able to relax and be themselves. All day long at work they must put on a "show" for the "crowd". So when they get off they want to go home to a place they can feel free and comfortable enough to just be themselves. That man that can make them feel comfortable enough to relax and be themselves fully without fear of what he might think, is the man that has a partner for life. It is often the mere fact that a man has made a woman feel like she can be herself that attracts her to him.

Quote

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

-----------------------

Gilbert K. Chesterton
1874-1936, British Author

-----------------------

The natural human mind tells that we can only love those which "deserve" love. It tells us that we can only forgive things that only hurt us a little. And the human mind tells us that hope will only get us so far.

The call of love is that it loves the unlovable. After all; God loves us and has sent His only Son to die for our sins. It does not get any more unlovable than us. You can believe that. You can have faith in that. You don't need to see it physically to believe it. And hope; hope keeps us moving forward. It is often the notion that there has GOT to be something better for us than our current status.

Keep love, faith, and hope alive!

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

Martin Luther King Jr.
1929-1968, American Black Leader, Nobel Prize Winner, 1964

Ladies and gentlemen; love is a decision. Contrary to popular belief, you can choose to love...or not love. You can turn away from the acts of hate, and the inner turmoil that causes those acts. We have two choices; love and hate. When we weigh them against each other, why would would we choose the hate over love? To me it makes no sense. "I have the opportunity to love another, but instead i make the choice to hate them." - irrational thought.
