SOME YEARS AGO....

I READ ABOUT A DR. LANGSDALE OF NEW YORK, WHO TOLD THE CASE
OF A CHRISTIAN BUSINESS MAN WHO SUFFERED AN AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT AND WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE FOUND OUT
THAT HE ONLY HAD A FEW HOURS TO LIVE.  HIS FAITH IN GOD'S
PROVIDENCE DID NOT FAIL BECAUSE TO HIM DEATH WAS ONLY A
ROAD TO A SUPERIOR LIFE.  CALLED URGENTLY HIS WIFE AND HIS
CHILDREN, HE TALKED TO THEM IN THIS WAY.

     "MY WIFE, YOU HAVE BEEN MY GREATEST INSPIRATION IN THE
WORLD.  IN BRILLIANT DAYS AND DARKEST HOURS WE HAVE WALKED
TOGETHER.  YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME AND HELPED ME IN ALL THE
THINGS I HAVE LEARNED, ESPECIALLY IN WHAT HAS TO DO WITH
MY RELIGIOUS LIFE.  I LOVE YOU MORE THAN THE DAY WE GOT
MARRIED, BUT I HAVE TO LEAVE YOU FOR A WHILE.  GOOD NIGHT, MY
DARLING.  I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN ON A GLORIOUS MORNING..GOOD
NIGHT!"

     TO HIS OLDER DAUGHTER, HE SAID "MARIA, YOU HAVE BEEN OUR
FIRST, AND YOUR FATHER'S JOY.  YOU ARE SO MUCH LIKE YOUR
MOTHER THAT I HAVE ALWAYS SEEN IN YOU THE PICTURE OF THE
ONE THAT LEFT HER HOME TO BUILD MINE.  LIKE HER, YOU HAVE
BEEN A GREAT CHRISTIAN.  MARIA, NEVER FORGET YOUR FATHER
WHO HAS LOVED YOU SO MUCH.  GOOD .NIGHT, MARIA, GOOD NIGHT!"

     TO HIS OLDEST SON , HE SAID,  "MY SON, YOUR ARRIVAL TO OUR
HOME WAS A GREAT BLESSING. YOU ARE OUR OLDEST SON AND YOU
HAVE BEEN AN EXCEPTIONAL MAN. YOU LOVE GOD AND HIS CHURCH.
RECEIVE THE LOVE AND BLESSING OF YOUR FATHER.  GOOD NIGHT,
GUILLERMO!"

     CARLOS WAS HIS THIRD SON, BUT THIS YOUNGSTER HAD FALLEN
UNDER BAD INFLUENCES, BEING HIS PARENTS' NIGHTMARE. THE
DYING MAN PASSED HIM BY AND TALKED TO HIS YOUNGEST
DAUGHTER. "ENGRACIA, YOUR ARRIVAL WAS A RAY OF LIGHT IN
OUR HOME. YOUR SMILES HAVE FILLED WITH MUSIC OUR HEARTS.
WHEN, NOT TOO LONG AGO YOU GAVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST, YOUR
FATHER'S HEART WAS FILLED WITH HAPPINESS.  GOOD NIGHT,
LITTLE ONE, GOOD NIGHT! WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER IN THE PRESENCE
OF THE LORD.."

THEN, HE CALLED CARLOS TO HIS SIDE AND SAID,  "CARLOS, YOU WERE
A YOUNGSTER FULL OF PROMISE. YOUR MOTHER AND I, BOTH THOUGHT
THAT YOU WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT MAN. WE GAVE YOU AS GOOD AN EDUCATION AS YOUR SIBLINGS AND IF THERE WAS ANY DIFFERENCE,
YOU WELL KNOW IT WAS IN YOUR FAVOR. BUT YOU HAVE DISILLUSIONED
US. YOU HAVE PREFERRED TO FOLLOW THE WIDE ROAD THAT LEADS
TO DAMNATION TURNING AWAY FROM THE FAITH AND PIETY. YOU HAVE
REFUSED TO GUIDE YOURSELF BY OUR ADVICE OR BY THE WARNING OF
THE HOLY WORDS  OF GOD. YOU HAVE HARDENED YOUR HEART TO THE
CALL OF THE SAVIOUR.  BUT I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU, AND LOVE
YOU STILL..ONLY GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU. GOODBYE
FOREVER, CARLOS, GOODBYE!'

     CARLOS GRABBED HIS FATHER'S HAND AND SAID BETWEEN SOBS.
FATHER, WHY HAVE YOU SAID GOOD NIGHT TO THE OTHERS AND TO
ME YOU'VE SAID GOODBYE!"  "FOR THE SIMPLE REASON, CARLOS,
THAT I WILL JOIN THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY IN HEAVEN.
FAITHFUL PROMISES OF THE WORD OF GOD ASSSURE US A HAPPY
REUNION WHEN WE WAKE UP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF DEATH, BUT I
CANNOT HAVE ANY HOPE OF SEEING YOU IN THAT PLACE. THAT'S WHY
OUR PARTING IS GOODBYE FOREVER."

     CARLOS FELL ON HIS KNEES AT HIS FATHER'S DEATH BED AND
CLAMORED.  "MY GOD, FORGIVE MY SINS BY THE MERIT OF YOUR
SON WHOM I RECEIVE AS MY SAVIOUR AND LORD.  FORGIVE ME,
MY GOD, AND MAKE ME YOUR SON BY THE FAITH IN JESUS!"
"IS IT TRUE, CARLOS, WHAT YOU JUST FINISHED EXPRESSING?".....
"GOD KNOWS IT IS." SAID THE YOUNGSTER..  "WELL, IF IT IS,"  HIS
MOTHER INTERVENED "GOD CANNOT FORGET HIS PROMISES. IF YOU
RECEIVE CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOUR, YOU ARE GOD'S SON AS TRUE
AS YOU ARE OUR SON. THE HOLY WORD DECLARES IT THAT WAY;
ALL THE ONES THAT RECEIVED HIM; HE GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO
BE CHILDREN OF GOD; THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIS NAME.".......
"IN THAT CASE" ADDED THE FATHER. "I DON'T HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE
SINCE WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER ON THAT GLORIOUS MORNING. HOW
HAPPY I AM, CARLOS, THAT OUR PARTING IS NOT A GOODBYE FOREVER,
BUT A GOOD NIGHT.....ONLY A GOODNIGHT!"  HIS WORDS WERE GETTING
WEAKER, BUT MORE JOYOUS.  A LITTLE WHILE LATER HE DIED IN THE
PEACE OF GOD.

                   ...       CARLOS IS TODAY A PREACHER!.....

SIMPLE PHRASES TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATION IN YOUR FAMILY

LIFETIME FRIEND (Author unknown)

     IN OUR LIVES, IF WE'RE LUCKY
WE'LL HAVE ALL KINDS OF FRIENDS.
AND ALTHOUGH WE APPRECIATE THEM ALL
     FOR DIFFERENT REASONS,
THERE ARE SOME WE COME TO CHERISH.
     YOU, WITHOUT A DOUBT,
FALL INTO THIS LAST CATEGORY.
     YOU ARE THE FRIEND
WHO NEVER, EVER BORES ME.
THE FRIEND I'M ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE
     AND WHO NEVER LETS ME DOWN.
     YOU ARE THAT SPECIAL FRIEND
WHO KNOWS I'M FAR FROM PERFECT
     AND ACCEPTS ME ANYWAY.
WE'VE SHARED A LOT, GOOD AND BAD,
            AND YOU'VE PROVEN
      YOU CAN BE COUNTED ON.

A WISH FOR YOU, MY CHILD (DONNA DARGIS)

IF THERE COULD BE ONLY ONE THING
IN LIFE FOR ME TO TEACH YOU, I WOULD
TEACH YOU TO LOVE...

TO RESPECT OTHERS SO THAT YOU MAY
      FIND RESPECT IN YOURSELF
TO LEARN THE VALUE OF GIVING,
      SO THAT IF EVER THERE COMES A TIME
      IN YOUR LIFE THAT SOMEONE REALLY
      NEEDS, YOU WILL GIVE
TO ACT IN A MANNER THAT YOU WOULD
      WISH TO BE TREATED, TO BE PROUD
      OF YOURSELF.
TO LAUGH AND SMILE AS MUCH AS YOU
      CAN, IN ORDER TO HELP BRING JOY
      BACK INTO THIS WORLD.
TO HAVE FAITH IN OTHERS,
      TO BE UNDERSTANDING...
TO STAND TALL IN THIS WORLD AND
      TO LEARN TO DEPEND ON YOURSELF.
TO ONLY TAKE FROM THIS EARTH THOSE
      THINGS WHICH YOU REALLY NEED,
      SO THERE WILL BE ENOUGH FOR OTHERS.
TO NOT DEPEND ON MONEY OR MATERIAL
      THINGS FOR YOUR HAPPINESS, BUT
TO LEARN TO APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE
      WHO LOVE YOU, THE SIMPLE BEAUTY
      THAT GOD GAVE YOU AND TO FIND
      PEACE AND SECURITY WITHIN YOURSELF

TO YOU, MY CHILD, I HOPE I HAVE TAUGHT
      ALL OF THESE THINGS, FOR THEY ARE
      LOVE.

THE PRETTY GOOD STUDENT ( By Charles Osgood)

There was once a pretty good student who sat in a pretty good class
and who was taught by a pretty good teacher who always let pretty
good pass.
He wasn't terrific at reading, he wasn't a whiz bang at math, but for
him education was leading down a pretty good path.
He didn't find school too exciting but he wanted to do pretty well;
He did have trouble with reading and nobody taught him to spell.
In doing arithmetic problems pretty good was regarded as fine;
Five and five needn't always add to ten, a pretty good answer was nine.
The pretty good student was happy with the standards that were in effect
and nobody thought it was sappy if his answers were not quite correct.
The pretty good class he sat in was part of a pretty good school and  the
student was not the exception, on the contrary he was the rule.
The pretty good school that he went to was there in a pretty good town;
Nobody there seemed to notice that he couldn't tell a verb from a noun.
The pretty good student was in fact part of a pretty good mob.
The first time he knew what he lacked was when he looked for a pretty
good job.
It was then when he saw the position he discovered that life could be tough
and he soon had a sneaky suspicion that pretty good might not be good enough.
The pretty good town in the story was part of a pretty good state, which had
pretty good aspirations and prayed for a pretty good fate.
There was once a pretty good nation, pretty proud of the greatness it had,
but which learned much too late, if you want to be great, pretty good is in fact
pretty bad.

HOW DO WE DEFINE LOVE (E.D.)

LOVE IS TENDERNESS...FORGIVENESS...TOLERANCE...
HUMBLE...POWERFUL...PASSIONATE ( SOMETIMES IT'S
FIRE) LOVE IS RESPECT...CARING...FUN...FAMILY...
SACRIFICE.

WHEN SOMEONE TREATS US BADLY IT KILLS OUR SPIRIT.
SOMETIMES ONE WORD CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
LIFE AND DEATH.

TREAT YOUR ELDERLY WITH PATIENCE AND LOVE.
NEVER MAKE THEM FEELTHAT THEY ARE IN THE WAY.
THEY WORKED SO HARD ALL THEIR LIFE FOR THE
HAPPINESS OF THEIR FAMILY AND THEY DESERVE TO
LIVE THEIR LAST YEARS IN PEACE, SORROUNDED BY
THEIR LOVED ONES. BE SENSITIVE TO THEIR NEEDS.

TEACH CHILDREN WITH LOVE AND PROTECT THEM,
BECAUSE THEY ARE THE REAL TREASURE WE HAVE
IN THIS LIFE. GOD GAVE  THEM TO US TO PROTECT
THEM AND MOLD THEM. BE CAREFUL HOW YOU ACT
IN FRONT OF THEM BECAUSE THEY COPY OUR EVERY
MOVE. TEACH THEM RESPECT FOR THEMSELVES AND
FOR OTHERS. ENCOURAGE THEM TO WORK HARD TO
BE THE BEST THAT THEY CAN BE. INSTEAD OF ALWAYS
CRITICIZING THEM, PRAISE THEM FOR ALL THE GOOD
THINGS THEY DO AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO ALWAYS
LOOK AHEAD WITH HOPE. TEACH THEM TO BE UNSELFISH
AND ALWAYS TRY TO HELP THE LESS FORTUNATE. GIVE
THEM LOVE THAT THEY MAY LEARN TO LOVE.

NEVER HUMILIATE ANYONE AND REMEMBER THAT ALL
THE BAD THAT YOU DO, SOONER OR LATER, WILL COME
BACK TO YOU.

IF ANYONE MAKES US ANGRY, IT IS BEST TO KEEP OUR
MOUTHS CLOSED BEFORE WORDS COME OUT OF IT THAT
WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TAKE BACK. DON'T ARGUE
WITH SOMEONE  THAT IS ALREADY MISERABLE.  JUST BE
KIND...AND WITH YOUR KINDNESS..HEAL THEIR WOUNDS.

APPRECIATE WHATEVER GOOD SOMEONE DOES FOR YOU
AND DON'T ASSUME THAT THEY DO IT BECAUSE YOU
DESERVE IT. YOU PROBABLY DON'T.

A MOTHER'S LOVE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MOST PURE IN
THE WORLD. IF YOU HAVE IT...CHERISH IT !

LOVE IS SACRIFICE. IT'S GIVING YOUR MOST FOR SOMEONE'S
HAPPINESS.
                                  GOD IS LOVE!

             "WHAT MATTERS IN LIFE, IS NOT GREAT DEEDS,
               BUT GREAT LOVE. (ST. THERESE OF LISIEUX)

LOVE IS NOT ONLY CARING, BUT ACTING UPON THE CARE
THAT YOU FEEL. LOVE IS ....NOT JUDGING A PERSON FOR
ANY SITUATION THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN, BUT TO DO ALL
YOU CAN TO HELP THEM RESOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS.
                                                 (ARACELIS VICTORIA DIAZ)

               GOD'S....IS THE ULTIMATE LOVE!!!!!!

LA CARTA (Autor desconocido)

QUERIDO AMIGO(A):

COMO ESTAS? TUVE QUE MANDARTE UNA NOTA
PARA DEJARTE SABER LO MUCHO QUE ME PREOCUPO
          POR TI.

TE VI AYER HABLANDO CON TUS AMISTADES. ESPERE
TODO EL DIA DESEANDO QUE TAMBIEN HABLARAS
CONMIGO, PERO NO ME HABLASTE
TE DI LA LUZ DEL SOL,LA AURORA Y PARA CERRAR EL
DIA TE DI UNA BRISA SUAVE Y FRESCA Y ESPERE, PERO
NUNCA LLEGASTES. ME DOLIO MUCHO PERO ESPERO
PORQUE TE QUIERO Y ERES MI AMIGO(A).

TE VI DURMIENDO EN LA NOCHE Y DESEABA TANTO
ACARICIARTE, PERO EN VEZ DERRAME EN TU CARA
LA LUZ DE LA LUNA...Y OTRA VEZ ESPERE, DESEANDO
QUE AMANECIERA PARA QUE HABLARAMOS,PERO
DESPERTASTE Y APRESURADO(A) TE FUISTES AL
TRABAJO. MIS LAGRIMAS ESTABAN EN LA LLUVIA.

YO TENGO TANTOS REGALOS PARA TI, SI SOLAMENTE
ME ESCUCHARAS! TE QUIERO! TE LO HE DICHO EN EL
AZUL DEL CIELO Y EN EL SILENCIO DE LA GRAMA
VERDE. TE LO HE SUSURRADO EN EL SOPLO DE LAS
HOJAS DE LOS ARBOLES, TAMBIEN EN LA FRAGANCIA
Y LOS COLORES DE LAS FLORES. TE LO HE GRITADO
EN LOS RIOS QUE TRASPASAN LOS CERROS. TE LO HE
DICHO EN LA CANCION DE AMOR QUE CANTAN MIS
PAJARITOS. YO TE CUBRO CON EL CALOR DEL SOL,
CON EL PERFUME DE LOS AIRES Y LA FRAGANCIA DE
LA NATURALEZA. MI AMOR POR TI ES MAS PROFUNDO
QUE EL OCEANO, ES MAS GRANDE QUE LA NECESIDAD
MAS GRANDE DE TU CORAZON.

PREGUNTAME!....HABLAME!......POR FAVOR NO TE OLVIDES
DE MI. TENGO TANTO QUE COMPARTIR CONTIGO................
NO TE MOLESTO MAS...ES TU DECISION...TE HE ESCOJIDO
A TI Y ESPERARE.

                                TE AMA TU AMIGO,
                                                JESUS

.............Autor desconocido

TE DIGO ADIOS, Y ACASO TE QUIERO TODAVIA.
QUIZAS NO HE DE OLVIDARTE, PERO TE DIGO ADIOS.
NO SE SI ME QUISISTE.....NO SE SI TE QUERIA......
O TAL VEZ NOS QUISIMOS DEMASIADO LOS DOS

ESTE AMOR TRISTE, Y APASIONADO, Y LOCO
ME LO SEMBRE EN EL ALMA PARA QUERERTE A TI.
NO SE SI TE AME MUCHO....NO SE SI TE AME POCO,
PERO SI SE QUE NUNCA VOLVERE A AMAR ASI.

ME QUEDA TU SONRISA DORMIDA EN MI RECUERDO,
Y EL CORAZON ME DICE QUE NO TE OLVIDARE
PERO AL QUEDARME SOLO SABIENDO QUE TE PIERDO
TAL VEZ EMPIEZO A AMARTE COMO JAMAS TE AME.

TE DIGO ADIOS, Y ACASO, CON ESTA DESPEDIDA
MI MAS HERMOSO ANHELO MUERE DENTRO DE MI...
PERO TE DIGO ADIOS, PARA TODA LA VIDA,
AUNQUE TODA LA VIDA SIGA PENSANDO EN TI.

BEAUTY TIPS (Author Unknown)

FOR ATTRACTIVE LIPS, SPEAK WORDS OF KINDNESS.
FOR LOVELY EYES, SEEK OUT THE GOOD IN PEOPLE.
FOR A SLIM FIGURE, SHARE YOUR FOOD WITH THE HUNGRY.
FOR BEAUTIFUL HAIR, LET A CHILD RUN HIS/HER FINGERS
          THROUGH IT ONCE A DAY.
FOR POISE, WALK WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU
          NEVER WALK ALONE.

PEOPLE, EVEN MORE THAN THINGS, HAVE TO BE RESTORED,
          RENEWED, REVIVED, RECLAIMED,AND REDEEMED;
NEVER THROW OUT ANYONE.
          REMEMBER, IF YOU EVER NEED A HELPING HAND,
YOU WILL FIND ONE AT THE END OF EACH OF YOUR ARMS.
                                 AS YOU GROW OLDER,
          YOU WILL DISCOVER THAT YOU HAVE TWO HANDS;
ONE TO HELP YOURSELF, AND THE OTHER TO HELP OTHERS.

NO TIME (AUTHOR UNKNOWN)

I KNELT TO PRAY, BUT NOT FOR LONG;
I HAD TOO MUCH TO DO.
MUST HURRY OFF AND GET TO WORK
FOR BILLS WOULD SOON BE DUE.

AND SO I SAID A HURRIED PRAYER,
JUMPED UP FROM OFF MY KNEES;
MY CHRISTIAN DUTY NOW WAS DONE,
MY SOUL COULD BE AT EASE.

ALL THROUGH THE DAY I HAD NO TIME
TO SPEAK A WORD OF CHEER,
NO TIME TO SPEAK OF CHRIST TO FRIENDS,
THEY'D LAUGH AT ME, I FEARED.

NO TIME, NO TIME,TOO MUCH TO DO...
THAT WAS MY CONSTANT CRY;
NO TIME TO GIVE TO THOSE IN NEED...
AT LAST 'TWAS TIME TO DIE.

AND WHEN BEFORE THE LORD I CAME,
I STOOD WITH DOWNCAST EYES,
WITHIN HIS HANDS HE HELD A BOOK.
IT WAS THE "BOOK OF LIFE."

GOD LOOKED INTO HIS BOOK AND SAID,
" YOUR NAME I CANNOT FIND,
I ONCE WAS GOING TO WRITE IT DOWN,
BUT NEVER FOUND THE TIME"

.............Autor desconocido)

SI ALGO AQUI ENCUENTRAS MAL
Y NO TE HAYAS COMPLACIDO,
NO SALGAS DE ESTE LUGAR
SIN ANTES HABLAR CONMIGO.

SI COMETI ALGUN ERROR
NO SALGAS AFUERA A DECIRLO,
Y HABLAME SIN RENCOR
PARA PODER CORREGIRLO.

RECUERDA QUE SOY HUMANO
POR ESO NO SOY PERFECTO,
AYUDAME TU, HERMANO
A CORREGIR MIS DEFECTOS.

NO SEAS INDIFERENTE,
MUESTRATE BLANDO CONMIGO
PORQUE ADEMAS DE TU SEMEJANTE
QUIERO QUE SEAS MI AMIGO.

IT'S UP TO YOU (Omaha Home for Boys)

     ONE SONG CAN SPARK A MOMENT,
    ONE FLOWER CAN WAKE THE DREAM.
          ONE TREE CAN START A FOREST,
          ONE BIRD CAN HERALD SPRING
       ONE SMILE BEGINS A FRIENDSHIP,
          ONE HANDCLASP LIFTS A SOUL.
    ONE STAR CAN GUIDE A SHIP AT SEA
       ONE WORD CAN FRAME THE GOAL.
       ONE VOTE CAN CHANGE A NATION,
          ONE SUNBEAM LIGHTS A ROOM.
        ONE CANDLE WIPES OUT DARKNESS,
        ONE LAUGH WILL CONQUER GLOOM.
      ONE STEP MUST START EACH JOURNEY,
       ONE WORD MUST START EACH PRAYER.
         ONE HOPE WILL RAISE OUR SPIRITS,
         ONE TOUCH CAN SHOW YOU CARE.
       ONE VOICE CAN SPEAK WITH WISDOM,
         ONE HEART CAN KNOW WHAT'S TRUE.
        ONE LIFE CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE,
                 YOU SEE, IT'S UP TO YOU!

                   
         

ONLY A MOMENT (KAY HOFFMAN)

          IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT
          TO GIVE A WORD OF CHEER,
     TO WARM THE HEART OF SOMEONE
     WHOSE SKIES ARE DARK AND DREAR.
          IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT
          TO CLASP ANOTHER'S HAND,
     TELL HIM THAT YOU'D LIKE TO HELP,
          YOU CARE AND UNDERSTAND
          IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT,
          AND YET, IN HURRIED PACE,
     WE OFTEN NEGLECT SMALL KINDNESSES,
          A FROWN UPON OUR FACE.
        PERHAPS WE HAVE FORGOTTEN
       WHEN IN OUR HOUR OF NEED
    HOW MUCH IT MEANT WHEN OTHERS GAVE
          A KINDLY WORD OR DEED.
          IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT
          TO BREATHE A LITTLE PRAYER,
       ASKING GOD TO BLESS HIS CHILDREN
          IN PLACES EVERYWHERE.
        THESE PRECIOUS LITTLE MOMENTS
           SEND WINGING FAR AND NEAR,
   LIKE HOMING PIGEONS THAT WILL RETURN
             TO BRING OUR OWN HEART CHEER.

IF YOU SHOULD LEAVE ME

IF EVER YOU SHOULD LEAVE ME
MY LIFE WILL HAVE NO MEANING.
I WILL BE LOST FOREVER
IF EVER YOU SHOULD LEAVE ME.

IF EVER YOU SHOULD LEAVE ME
THERE WILL ONLY BE TEARS.
THE SUN WILL NEVER SHINE AGAIN
IF EVER YOU SHOULD LEAVE ME.

IF EVER YOU SHOULD LEAVE ME
MY HEART WILL CLOSE THE DOOR.
I'LL NEVER LOVE ANYONE ELSE
IT'S ONLY YOU I ADORE.
