Memo from God
this is a nice thing to remember


<font size=6> <font color=blue>A Memo From God </font>

<font color=red>To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: THE BOSS
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE </font></font>

I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help.

If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

*as yours as well spirit warrior* [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=lime>Very inspiring to anyone. Even an athiest. ;) If everyone lived by thoughts like these, this world would be a much better place to live for all. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

awesome, work will be a breeze tonite [img]smile.gif[/img]

what a wonderful thing. can make someone happy. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm an atheist, and that describes pretty much how I live my life (except the references to God).

Most of the time I'm one of the happiest people I know! [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=deepskyblue>Beautiful post, <font color=deeppink>Stormy</font>. Thank you for reminding us to keep a proper perspective and focus on what is really important. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

<font color=orange>Lord K.</font> - You are absolutely correct. The world would be a much better place if we could all keep this "memo" in mind.</font>

atheist...what is that?

Someone who does not believe in any god (christian, jewish, muslim, or otherwise).

Thank you all, gald ya'll liked it, it hot home with me last night when i read it, I have been dwelling on the little things and not thinking of who might have it worse, but now I actualy think about those who might need help..ie a friend of mine who is trying to raise her kids and step daughter on a small ssi check for her son while her husband is in jail since monday, and about the people who have nothing, while i complain about having something

Some people look at a glass and see it as being half empty. Then there are the people who look at it and see it as being half-full. Which one are you? ;)

i much prefer:

"Some people look at a glass and see it as being half empty. Then there are the people who look at it and see it as being half-full. The engineer looks at the glass as being twice as big as it needs to be."

The one at the bar [img]smile.gif[/img]

depending on what is int he glass i will drink it and grab a refill.

i know i make small compaints almost constantly, and i know others have it worse, i try to help and be considerate, but occaisionally i feel as tho i am on the bottom of the pile.

i feel that god gave us free will for a reason, to decide when we need to rely soley upon him because it is truly out of our hands, or to take action because we have the ability to solve the problem. i'm sorry but the thinking of "this is a problem for go to handle" creates ppl who think all they have to do is wait, not work. a friend was compaining about her lack of money, and how much she owes the land loard cause her ex, who signed for her ssi checks didn't pay the rent. now he is gone, and she only get $500+ a month. she sat and complained. she did not ask for help, all she did was lament that her landlord doesn't care. i offered tot ake her to the assistance office to see what kinds of welfare help she can get. she did not say thankyou. she kept on lamenting "i think that comes out of my ssi, what's the point?" so ask! sorry to compain, i just...grrrrr.... ppl need to work to better their lives.

trust in god for big things, trust in yourself for your quality of life!

Christianity, Catholicism, Aetheism or Paganism it matters not - inspiration is not restricted by religion or beliefs.

<font color=lime>Well said. [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img] </font>

Very well said, it is also not restricted to...
