Things To Ponder....

Hello Everyone,
I am going to share some of my favorite words to ponder on when I am feeling one way or another, but no way in particular....Hope you enjoy them.


Life is easier than you think --
All you have to do is:
Accept the impossible,
Do without the indispensable,
Bear the intolerable
And
Be able to smile at anything.

************************************************

Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.
When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing, or situation --
Some fact of my life - unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment,
Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's wold by mistake.
Unless I accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy.
I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes.

************************************************

Only some of us learn by other people's mistakes; the rest of us have to be the other people.

************************************************

True Understanding

We do not understand:
Joy......until we face sorrow
Faith....until it is tested
Peace....until faced with conflict
Trust....until we are betrayed
Love.....until it is lost
Hope.....until confronted with doubts.

************************************************

Hope Makes A Difference

Hope looks for the good in people instead of harping on the worst in them.
Hope opens doors where despair closes them.
Hope discovers what can be done instead of grumbling about what cannot be done.
Hope draws its power from a deep trust in God and the basic goodness of mankind.
Hope "lights a candle" instead of "cursing the darkness."
Hope regards problems, small or large, as opportunities.
Hope cherishes no illusions, nor does it yield to cynicism.

************************************************

And last, but by no means least.....

Thank You, dear God
For all You have given me
For all You have taken away from me
For all You have left me.

I hope you were able to get a nugget or two out of these, I know I sure have.
