A Box of gold
With a secret inside that has never been told.
This box is priceless but as I see;
The treasure inside is far more precious to me.
Today I share this treasure with thee;
It’s the treasure of friendship you’ve given me.
Contributed to our friendship . . .
A Friend should be Radical;
They should love you when you’re unlovable,
Hug you when you’re unhuggable,
And bear you when you’re unbearable.
A Friend should be Fanatical;
They should cheer when the whole world boos,
Dance when you get good news,
And cry when you cry too.
But most of all,
A Friend should be Mathematical,
They should multiply the joy,
Divide the sorrow,
Subtract the past,
And add to tomorrow,
Calculate the need deep in your heart,
And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.

Dear Lord;
Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when
the alarm rings, thank you, Lord, that I can hear.
There are many who are deaf.
Even though I keep my eyes closed against the
morning light as long as possible, thank you, Lord, that I can see.
Many are blind.
Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising,
thank you Lord, that I have the strength to rise.
There are many who are bedridden.
Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when
socks are lost, toast is burned and tempers are short,
thank you, Lord, for my family.
There are many who are lonely.
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in
magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced,
thank you, Lord, for the food we have.
There are many who are hungry;
Even though the routine of my job often is hard, thank
you, Lord, for the opportunity to work.
There are many who have no job.
Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my
circumstances were not so modest, thank you, Lord, for life.
A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives with Beauty, Joy, and Grace.
And makes the world we live in a Better and Happier Place.
YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONOURED!
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, ”Who would like this $20 bill? ”Hands started going up. He said, ”I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this” and he proceeded to crumple the dollar bill
up.
He then asked,”Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air. ”Well,” he said, ”What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He then picked it up, and it was now all crumpled and dirty. ”Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went into the air.
”My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It is still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
You are special _ Don’t ever forget it!
”Never let yesterday’s disappointments overshadow tomorrow’s dreams”
