By Emerson Eggerichs

Dear God: 

The lady reading this



is beautiful, classy and



strong, and I love
her.
 

Help her live her life to
the fullest.
 

Please promote her and
cause her to excel above her expectations.
 

Help her shine in the
darkest places where it is impossible to love.
 

Protect her at all
times, lift her up when she needs 
you the most, 

and
 

let her know when she
walks with you,
 

She will always be
safe.
 

Love you Girl!!!!

Read to the end, you will laugh just picturing it happening.

 I love the thoughts she lives by!!!

I didn't break the elastic...




Don't break the elastic!

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday.. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older.

  
And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting.'

Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day...like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.



The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!


Maya Angelou said this:
  
 'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'! 



'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'



'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.' 
 

'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.' 
 

'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'

'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.


'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.'


'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.'
 

'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.' 
 

'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.'



'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'



Please send this to five phenomenal women today...
If you do, something good will happen: You will boost another woman's self-esteem..



If you don't..the elastic will break and your underpants will fall down around your ankles! 
 

Believe me, I didn't take any chances on MY elastic breaking....I sent it to a lot of special women I care for.

Second Wind

By: Janessa


My body and my mind may become weak, but God is my strength. He is mine forever.  Psalm 73:26

            

Have you ever felt like you were at the end of your rope? Ever felt burnt out and like you have nothing left in you to give? What do you do in those moments? Do you try and fix it yourself or do you lean even more into God and find Christian brothers and sisters to pour into you? You weren't created to live this life alone, so why try? You are going to grow weak and weary in life because you are human and because of sin. When you try to do this life on our own you are going to fall but God can pick you up when you do. Sometimes it's not until you are at your lowest that God can pick you up and be that second wind. Have you ever run a marathon or even seen one? Half way through the runners start to get tired, but they don't give up they keep going and wait for the second wind. It's the same in our lives we are going to fall short and struggle but God is our strength and he endures forever. He will never leave you to fend for yourself. Sometimes it takes those failures and burn outs for us to give up our control and give it to someone stronger than us. It takes us giving up full control when we become weak and giving it all to God. Let God be your strength and when you feel like giving up, let him be your second wind.

"MAYA
ANGELOU'S"

BEST POEM EVER




A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

enough money within her control
to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to
or needs to...



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

something
perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her
in an hour...



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .

a youth she's
content to leave behind....



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

a
past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her old
age....



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .....

a set of
screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...



A
WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

one friend who always makes her laugh... and
one who lets her cry...



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....

a
good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her
family...



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

eight matching
plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal,
that will
make her guests feel honored...



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...

a feeling of control over her destiny...



EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to fall in love without losing
herself..



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to quit a
job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend
without;
ruining the friendship...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD
KNOW...

when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK
AWAY...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

that she can't
change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature
of her parents..



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

that her
childhood may not have been perfect...but it's
over...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

what she would
and wouldn't do for love or more...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD
KNOW...
how to live alone... even if she doesn't like
it...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..

whom she can
trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it
personally...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

where to
go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table...
or a charming inn
in the woods..
when her soul needs soothing...



EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

what she can and can't accomplish in a
day...
a month...and a year...

THESE ARE FOR YOU  !!

Don't you know the phrase 'stop and smell the flowers'?


Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrows keep you Human,
Failures keep you Humble,
Success keeps you Glowing,
But Only God Keeps You Going!  
 
 


I would rather have one rose and a kind word
 from a friend while I'm here than a whole truck load when I'm gone
