Friendship, Family and Love
Inspirations

A true friend is the most precious of all possessions.

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which it is,
You know exactly what to do.
--Michelle Ventor

Then we sat on the edge of the earth,
with our feet dangling over the side,
And marveled that we had found each other.
--Erik Dillard

A life without love is like a year without summer.
--Swedish Proverb

Where there is room in the heart,
There is room in the house.
--Danish Proverb

When someone you love becomes a memory--
A memory becomes a treasure.

From "Tea For Grandmother"
by Susan Young
Best Friend
I have a friend who lifts me,
Who fills my heat and sets it free.

Tho my faults show,
she doesn't say
But goes on smiling
In her loving way.

Always the giver
her heart she will lend
I am so fortunate to
have a best friend!

God Bless You
I'm counting my blessings
And its certainly true--
One of my greatest is the gift of you!

There's a joy in my soul,
A lift in my spirit...
A praise in my heart,
Because of the ways
God has used you in my life.

Friendships are like sugar and spice...
Seasoned with kindness and everything nice!

Though no one can go b ack and make a brand new start,
my friend,
Anyone can start from now and make a brand new end.
--Carl Bard

This heart of mine, shall be but thine.

A friend is a person with a sneaky knack
of saying good things about you behind your back.

There are two lasting gifts we can give our children.
One is roots, the other is wings.

With the children asleep
And crying now past,
Know taht while days are long
the years go fast.

Memories are the most cherished keepsakes.

Count your blessings,
instead of your crosses.
Count your gains,
instead of your losses.
Count your joys,
instead of your woes.
Count your friends,
instead of your foes

Count your smiles
instead of your tears.
Count your courage,
instead of your fears.
Count your full years,
instead of your lean.
Count your kind deeds,
instead of your mean.

Count your health,
in stead of your wealth.
Count on God,
instead of yourself.
--Patricia Carlton

Chance made us sisters,
Hearts made us friends.

A house is not a home
without a cat.

If your family is not in your "heart",
They are on your nerves.

From the beginning--
God meant for families to be enjoyed
not endured.

Pray for your family:
--In love,
--For spiritual wisdom
--To know right from wrong,
--Live for the glory of God

Our family is a circle of strength and love.
Every birth, union, joy and crisis faced together makes us stronger.

Bless this house with love and laughter--

(Put your last name in place of mine.)

Hearts come home for Christmas...
'Cause love is always there.

No matter when, no matter where...
It's always home, if love is there.

May the seeds of our faith,
planted in prayer,
Bring forth life and grow our children
into big people who follow after God's heart.
--Stormie Ormartian

A Mother's Prayer
Give me patience when little hands
tug at me with ceaseless demands.
Give me gentl words and smiling eyes
and keep my lips from hasty, sharp replies.
That when in years to come,
my house is still,
Beautiful memories it's rooms may fill.

There are two things to give your children,
One is roots,
The other is wings.

Please excuse the mess,
'cause cleaning while kids are growing,
is like shoveling snow then it's snowing!

Books transport us to other worlds!

You can't scare me...

I HAVE CHILDREN!

A Mother--
She can take the place of many others,
But no one can take her place!

A friend is someone who knows all about you
And loves you just the same.

Happy is the heart filled with love.

The things we have,
The ones we love,
Are special blessings from above.

this heart of mine, shall be but thine.

Peace on earth begins at home.

Memories are the most cherished keepsakes.

MORE TO COME!!!
