When I was in high school, I kept 3 x 5 cards that had my favorite sayings on them.  When I needed cheering up or remembering what was important, I'd go through the cards.  During college, I used to take one of the 3 x 5 cards and put them on the mirror in my bathroom so that I could have that saying to give my day direction.  After I got married, I learned calligraphy and now I've made a book with those sayings in it.  It's a special book.

Here are some of the sayings.  If you have any you'd like to add, please email me!  Kathy Bolam

Friendship

A foreigner is a friend 
I haven't met yet.

To share with you enables me to be.

All people smile in the same language.

You came into my life and loved me and somehow ...

... I became me.

A friend is ...

... one who knows all about you 
and still likes you.

Do not judge your friend until you stand in his place.

The only safe and sure way to destroy an enemy is to make him your FRIEND! Happiness is ...

a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself!

Keep within your HEARTS

the magic of the children 
you have been!

A cheerful friend is like a sunny day which sheds its brightness on all around.
A friend is a present 
you give yourself!

The only way to have a friend 
is to be one!

A tiny courtesy I found to do today,

"Twas quickly done, with none to see And then I ran away.

But Someone must have witnessed it For truly I declare -

As I sped back the stony path

Roses were blooming there!

We all need a little help 
from our friends.

And when I see you happy - 

it sets my heart free - 

I'd like to be as good a friend to you as you are to me.

Friendship is ....

the only cement that will ever 
hold the world together!

The happiest moments of my life have been in the flow of affection among friends.

Thomas Jefferson

To preserve a friend, three things are required:

to honor him present,
praise him absent, and
assist him in his necessities.

Italian Proverb

The true friend seeks ...
to give, not to take
to help, not to be helped
to minister, not to be ministered unto.

William Rader

Where friends meet,  hearts warm.

Scottish Proverb

An untried friend is like 
an un-cracked nut.

Russian Proverb

Daily Living

Normal day ...

let me be aware of the 
real treasure you are.

Peace is seeing a sunset... 

and knowing who to thank.

God's most insistent call to us will always seem sort of a SILENCE since His language isn't what we expect. Help us to face the morning with gladness, O God, for today comes as a fresh new page.
People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.

It takes both rain and sunshine
to make a rainbow.

The really happy man is the one who can enjoy the scenery while taking a detour.

To handle yourself, use your head.

To handle others, use your heart!

You grow up the day you have your first real laugh

... at yourself!

The smile on your face is the light in the window that tells people that you are at home.
People like kites are made to be lifted up. I am born happy every morning.
Peace is not needing to know what will happen next. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for men!

Don't be anxious about tomorrow -

God will take care of
all your tomorrows -

Live one day at a time.

Matt 6:39

Where there is faith, there is love.

Where there is love, there is peace.

Where there is peace, there is GOD.

Where there is GOD, there is no need!

Lord

turn the routines of work into celebrations of love!

The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intension.

Faith & God

But if a person isn't loving and kind, it shows that he doesn't know God

... for God is love.
I John 4:8

Faith ...

the handle by which I take God's promises and apply them to my problems!

Faith...

ceasing to worry -
leaving the future to God who ...

controls the future.

Faith ...

remembering I am indispensable to God when I feel like I only clutter up the landscape.

 

The man who finds life will find it through trusting God.

Romans 1:18

We can rejoice when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us --- they help us to be patient.

Romans 5:3

There are three things that remain ...
faith, hope, and love
and the greatest of these is love.

I Corinthians 13:13

Cool Email Notes & Stories

How He Loves You

He's crazy about you

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. 

If he had a wallet, your photo would be in it.

He sends you flowers every Spring and a sunrise every morning.

Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen.  He can live anywhere in the universe and He chose your heart.

What about your Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem, not to mention that Friday at Calvary.

Never forget how much He loves you.
