May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Used vs. Loved

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4-yr old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.

When the child saw his father, with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'

The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own actions, sitting in front of that car, he looked at the scratches; the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.

The next day, that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life.

Things are to be used and people are to be loved.

But, the problem in today's world is that, People are used and things are loved...

During this year, let's be careful to keep this thought in mind:

Things are to be used, but People are to be loved.

Be yourself. This is the only day we HAVE. Have a nice day!

Always remember:

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits they become character; Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

God bless you;

I hope you are having a wonderful day!

The Will of God will never take you

to where the Grace of God

will not PROTECT you.

Stay FAITHFUL and Be GRATEFUL!

Always hold your head so high up that God can see it!

Remember, it is just nice to be nice!!!!!
