My Prayer

 It is difficult to have to leave friends that I have loved and trusted for so many years.  Now that I have graduated, my friends and I are going to different colleges or moving on to different places.  We are all facing unique situations with so much opportunity.  I wish happiness and the best that life has to offer for all of my friends as we go our separate ways.  I pray that we would all make the most of the opportunities given to us.  If we stay in God's will for our lives, I believe that when our paths cross again, we will be able to be a blessing to each other in ways we could never have imagined. ~Rachel Miller

I Prayed For You

 I asked the Lord to bless you As I prayed for you today To guide you and protect you As you go along your way His love is always with you His promises are true And when we give Him all our cares You know He will see us through So when the road you're traveling on Seems difficult at best Just remember I'm here praying And God will do the rest.

Just If

1. If tomorrow, I should never wake up, I wanted to say I'm sorry.  I'm sorry for what I've done and what I haven't done.  I could have done more, I should have done more. 2. If I harmed you, yelled at you, ignored you, or didn't care...I'm sorry. 3. If tomorrow I should never wake up, I wanted to say thank you. 4. If me and you were the best of friends, thank you for always being there. 5. If me and you only talked once and a while, and didn't go to the same parties, and were...not good friends...thank you for humbling me. 6. You are not perfect, but I am not either, but thank you for having a part in my life. 7. If tomorrow, I should never wake up, I wanted to say everything I never had time to.

Inside

 Bottled up inside are the words I never said, The feelings that I hide, the lines u never read. You can see it in my eyes, read it on my face, trapped inside are lies, Of the past I cannot replace. With memories that linger, wont seem to go away. Why can’t I be happier? Today’s a brand-new day! Yesterday’s are over, even tho the hurtings not Nothing lasts forever; I must cherish what I’ve got. Don’t take my love for granted for soon it will be gone. All u ever wanted; of the love u’d thought u won. The hurt Im feeling now, won’t disappear tonight, But someday, somehow, everything will turn out alright. No more wishing for the past, some things weren’t meant to be, Nothing ever seems to last, that’s why I set him free. ~Melissa Collette

The False Friends

 They laid their hands upon my head, They stroked my cheek and brow; And time could heal a hurt, they said, And time could dim a vow. And they were pitiful and mild Who whispered to me then, “The heart that breaks in April, child, Will mend in May again.” Oh, many a mended heart they knew, So old they were, and wise. And little did they have to do To come to me with lies! Who flings me silly talk of May Shall meet a bitter soul; For June was nearly spent away Before my heart was whole. ~Dorothy Parker

Quotes

1.  Experience is a brutal teacher, but we learn.  My God do we learn.  ~C. S. Lewis 2. Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you.  You just gotta find the ones worth suffering for. ~Bob Marley 3. Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are. ~Kurt Cobain 4. “Listen. I don't like to preach, but here's some advice. You'll meet a lot of jerks in life. If they hurt you, remember it's because they're stupid. Don't react to their cruelty. There's nothing worse than bitterness and revenge. Keep your dignity and be true to yourself.” ― Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood 5. Thomas, listen. Listen. There are times when life calls out for a change. A transition. Like the seasons. Our spring was wonderful, but summer is over now and we missed out on autumn. And now all of a sudden, it's cold, so cold that everything is freezing over. Our love fell asleep, and the snow took it by surprise. But if you fall asleep in the snow, you don...

The Dash

 I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning…to the end. He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time that they spent alive on earth. And now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own, the cars…the house…the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So, think about this long and hard. Are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s true and real and always try to understand ?the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect and more...
