Hometown

There should always

be a place where your

heart can call home.





"When you finally go back to your old hometown,
you find it wasn't the old home you missed
but your childhood." ~ Sam Ewing

Being a part of something is important.

Even if you were just standing on the outside

looking in you can at least say that you were there.

Pride.

Nostalgia.

You are a mixture of your past experiences, your

life today and your faith in a better tomorrow.

Good people, bad people, good hometown, bad hometown,

you were where you were because a Higher Power said so.

Learn to be the good editor of your past.

Take the lessons of your life and turn them into strengths.

Today, reflect on the knowledge that your Higher Power

has allowed you every chance to learn to do His will.

Pride and nostalgia are feelings that can be used to make your life better today.

Celebrate the past, but do not try to live in the past.

The hometown team is worth your support

but must not be a reason for living.

"A class reunion is a time when men and women travel
great distances to be with people they haven't seen for 20 years -
and discover that every 20 years is too often.” ~ Sam Ewing

Do not hide your true self behind the accomplishment of others.

Learn to identify with the strengths of others, applaud their talents and skills,

but use your own God given personality to do what is required of you.

Today, there is no hiding allowed.

"What is pride?
A rocket that emulates the stars." ~ William Wordsworth

Pray to have the courage and strength to let the real you

help to make the world a better place for all.

Be kind, even to the Yankee fans.

Be loving, Los Angeles may yet produce a

redeeming social value before it slides into the ocean.

Be the person God wants you to be.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Discover The Truth

"All

truths

are easy

to

understand

once

they are

discovered;

the point is

to discover them." ~ Galileo Galilei

Just because you changed your attitude yesterday does not

guarantee that you will wake up with the right attitude today.

Be ready and willing to change your attitude as many times

as is necessary every day, every hour or even every moment

of every day.

Discovery is not just the aha moments in our life, the truth

is discovering that what we see, what we hear and what we feel

are just the tip of the iceberg, an opportunity to seek further,

a slim slice of this vast world so wonderful to behold.

To discover the truth usually means we must change our attitude,

alter our our perception or just admit that we know very little.

Happiness is a strong desire to discover the truth.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Prayer From the Heart

"It is

better

in prayer

to have

a heart

without

words

than words

without a heart." ~ Mohandas Gandhi

Change.

You change, I change, we all change and so does the world

of the Great Creator.

Allowing your prayers to change will allow you to change.

You may set aside a time for prayer or better yet

you may learn to pray at any time, anywhere.

Don't know how to pray, find a friend who can show you

where your heart is located.

Learn to pray to say thanks, pray to have God help others,

pray to have God give you the strength and courage to do His will.

Today pray often and pray sincerely and then be ready

to stop, look and listen for an answer to your prayer

because a loving Higher Power answers all prayers

that come from a kind and loving heart.

Happiness is knowing that your prayer s are from the heart.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Already

You

already

have

everything

you

are

going

to have,

so you must just learn to do the best with what you have.

"What you can become you are already."

Hebbel Friedrich

You are already the way God wants you to be.

You are the son or daughter of your parents.

Your physical appearance is basically what you inherited.

You are already as smart as you are ever going to be.

If you already have children, they are yours.

People will agree with you only if they already agree with you.

You do not change people's minds.

You can change your mind if you are smart enough to know how.

Drugs and alcohol are not a good way to change your mind.

If you already know the answer,

why did you ask the question?

"He who wishes to secure the good of others

has already secured his own."

Confucius

I you have already been there and done that,

why buy the tee shirt?

Already is in the past and is good only if you learn from it.

Learn what you can change and know what is

already set in stone and cannot be changed.

If you already possess good habits,

repeat them when appropriate.

If you already know which of your habits are bad,

change them.

"If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait."

William James

By reading this you have already changed,

keep up the good work.

Today, go act the way you want to be and you will have already

done the will of your Higher Power.

Be kind.

Be loving.

There is no need to reach high for the stars.

They are already within you - just reach deep into yourself!

Allow your soul to shine it's brightest and become

the brightest star in God's universe,

the one you were already meant to be.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
