Rest for the Weary discussion

REPOSTED from a friend's email (with some modifications.

Keep only cheerful friends.
Give the grouches something to be cheerful about.

Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, your Lord, ... Never lose your interest in life.

Enjoy the simple things.

Laugh often, long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh,spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.

The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves and Jesus. Be courteous to Him and he will make your life sweet.

Surround yourself with what Jesus loves: Yes family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.. Remember Jesus is your refuge, your strong tower in trouble.

Cherish your health:
If it is good, thank God for it and preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help and don't forget God is willing to help!

Don't take guilt trips..
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is. If you belong to Christ.You don't have a right to the guilt you have given him.

TELL the people you love, that you love them, at every opportunity.

I love you, my special friend!

Forgive now those who made you cry.
You might not get a second chance..

Rejoice and be thankful for the blessings of God.


"Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point." Billy Graham
