Did You Ever Think...

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart. But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one who makes your heart smile!

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.


Pass this message along to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life in one way or another, to those who make you smile when you really need it, to those that make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, to those who you want to let know that you appreciate their friendship!

I like them all.....but particularly this one,

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Thanks for the food for thought.

Your beautiful message means more than you can know, JL, and will indeed be passed along this very day.

Here's my first delivery - to you, JL, among the many, and all friends at The Finest.

I'd just posted to Aquamarine and Nan amd Billie and FWI a similar thought.

Must be one of those GOD-IS-AT-WORK Days ~ ~ ~
to Him be all praise and honor and glory!
