Nina,
Happy Birthday! I hope you are having a great one!
Best,
James

happy bd!, hope its fun!

HOPE IS NEVER WASTED.
IT IS ALWAYS BENEFICIAL,
IF ONLY TO CLARIFY
WHAT WE WANT FROM LIFE.



HOPE IS THE JOYFUL LIBERATION OF THE HEART
FROM THE DARKEST PRISON OF DESPAIR.



SEATED ON AN OUTCROPPING OF ROCK
HIGH ABOVE THE SNOWBOUND VALLEY,
MY EYE IS DRAWN TO THE EVERGREEN,
AND HOPE STIRS WITHIN MY BREAST.





Have a nice weekend. God bless you....Your friend, David

You are a Beautiful Woman!!!”
Did you know that it's Beautiful Women Month? Well, it is and that means you!!!
I'm supposed to send this to FIVE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, and you are one of them!!!
Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her "beauty tips?" It was read at her funeral years later.

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 for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

If you share this with another woman, something good will happen. You will boost another woman's self esteem, and she will know that you care about her.
LOVE U MY FRIEND!!!

A CHILDS PRAYER

by HELEN STEINER RICE



HEAR ME, BLESSED JESUS
AS I SAY MY PRAYERS TODAY
AND TELL ME YOU ARE CLOSE TO ME,
AND YOU'LL NEVER GO AWAY,
AND TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS YOU DO,
AND TELL ME ALSO, JESUS,
I CAN ALWAYS COME TO YOU
AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND ME
WHEN OTHER PEOPLE DON'T,
AND THOUGH SOME MAY FORGET ME
JUST TELL ME THAT YOU WON'T-
AND, JESUS, STAY REAL CLOSE TO ME
AT HOME AND SCHOOL AND PLAY,
FOR I WILL FEEL MUCH BRAVER
IF YOU'RE NEVER FAR AWAY-
AND SOMETIMES WHEN I'M NAUGHTY,
I HOPE YOU WON'T BE SAD,
FOR REALLY I DON'T MEAN TO DO
ANYTHING THAT'S BAD-
AND MOST OF ALL, DEAR JESUS,
IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND I KNOW
OUR FATHER SENT YOU TO US
TO LIVE ON EARTH BELOW
SO LITTLE CHILDREN LIKE MYSELF
WOULD KNOW YOU TOO WERE SMALL,
AND THAT YOU ARE OUR DEAREST FRIEND
AND YOU UNDERSTAND US ALL-
AND, JESUS, I LIKE CHRISTMAS
FOR THE PRESENTS THAT IT BRINGS,,
BUT I KNOW YOUR LOVE IS GREATER
THAN ALL THE OTHER THINGS-
AND SOME DAY WHEN I'M OLDER
I WILL SHOW YOU IT IS TRUE
THAT EVEN AS A CHILD
MY HEART BELONGED TO YOU.

IN TIMES LIKE THESE

by HELEN STEINER RICE



WE READ THE HEADLINES DAILY
AND LISTEN TO THE NEWS,
WE SHAKE OUR HEADS DESPAIRINGLY
AND GLUMLY SING THE BLUES-
WE ARE RESTLESS AND DISSATISFIED
AND WE DO NOT FEEL SECURE,
WE ARE VAGUELY DISCONTENTED
WITH THINGS WE MUST ENDURE...
THIS VIOLENT AGE WE LIVE IN
IS FILLED WITH NAMELESS FEARS
AS WE LISTEN TO THE NEWSCASTS
THAT COME DAILY TO OUR EARS,
AND WE VIEW THE THREATENING FUTURE
WITH SAD SOBRIETY
AS WE'RE SURROUNDED DAILY
BY INCREASED ANXIETY...
HOW CAN WE FIND SECURITY
OR STAND ON SOLID GROUND
WHEN THERE'S VIOLENCE AND DISSENSION
AND CONFUSION ALL AROUND;
WHERE CAN WE GO FOR REFUGE
FROM THE RISING TIDES OF HATE,
WHERE CAN WE FIND A HAVEN
TO ESCAPE THIS SHAMEFUL FATE...
SO INSTEAD OF READING HEADLINES
THAT DISTURB THE HEART AND MIND,
LET US OPEN UP THE BIBLE
AND IN DOING SO WE'LL FIND
THAT THIS AGE IS NO DIFFERENT
FROM THE MILLIONS GONE BEFORE,
BUT IN EVERY HOUR OF CRISIS
GOD HAS OPENED UP A DOOR
FOR ALL WHO SEEK HIS GUIDANCE
AND TRUST HIS ALL-WISE PLAN,
FOR GOD PROVIDES PROTECTION
BEYOND THAT DEVISED BY MAN...
AND WE LEARN THAT EACH TOMORROW
IS NOT OURS TO UNDERSTAND,
BUT LIES SAFELY IN THE KEEPING
OF THE GREAT CREATOR'S HAND,
AND TO HAVE THE STEADFAST KNOWLEDGE
THAT WE NEVER WALK ALONE
AND TO REST IN THE ASSURANCE
THAT OUR EVERY NEED IS KNOWN
WILL HELP DISPEL OUR WORRIES,
OUR ANXIETIES AND CARE,
FOR DOUBT AND FEAR ARE VANQUISHED
IN THE PEACEFULNESS OF PRAYER.

NEVER BE DISCOURAGED

by HELEN STEINER RICE



THERE IS REALLY NOTHING WE NEED KNOW
OR EVEN TRY TO UNDERSTAND
IF WE REFUSE TO BE DISCOURAGED
AND TRUST GOD'S GUIDING HAND...
SO TAKE HEART AND MEET EACH MINUTE
WITH FAITH IN GOD'S GREAT LOVE,
AWARE THAT EVERY DAY OF LIFE
IS CONTROLLED BY GOD ABOVE...
AND NEVER DREAD TOMORROW
OR WHAT THE FUTURE BRINGS,
JUST PRAY FOR STRENGTH AND COURAGE
AND TRUST GOD IN ALL THINGS...
AND NEVER GROW DISCOURAGED
BE PATIENT AND JUST WAIT
FOR"GOD NEVER COMES TOO EARLY
AND NEVER COMES TOO LATE!"





CAST THY BURDEN UPON THE LORD
AND HE SHALL SUSTAIN THEE...



PSALMS 55:22
