I Believe.....

[Grmps]

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born
A Death Certificate shows that we died
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat . . . Relax . . .
And read this slowly.

I Believe.....
That just because two people argue,
It doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
It doesn't mean they do love each other.[/COLOR]

I Believe.
That we don't have to change friends if
We understand that friends change.

I Believe.....
That no matter how good a friend is,
They're going to hurt you every once in a while
And you MUST forgive them for that.

I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow,
Even over the longest distance.

I Believe.....
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.

I Believe..
That you should always leave loved ones with
Loving words It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe.....
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I Believe..
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done,
Regardless of the consequences.

I Believe.....
That my best friend and I,
Can do anything, or nothing and have the best time.

I Believe....
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down,
Will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe..
That sometimes when I'm angry,
I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe.....
That maturity has more to do with
What types of experiences you've had
And what you've learned from them
And less to do with
How many birthdays you've celebrated..

I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough,
To be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken
The world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe.....
That our background and circumstances
May have influenced who we are,
But, we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe....
That you shouldn't be so eager to find
Out a secret. It could change your life Forever.

I Believe.....
Two people can look at the exact same
Thing and see something totally different.

I Believe....
That your life can be changed in a matter of
Hours by people who don't even know you.

I Believe...
That even when you think you have no more to give,
When a friend cries out to you -
You will find the strength to help.

I Believe....
That credentials on the wall
Do not make you a decent human being.

I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life
Are taken from you too soon.


The happiest of people don't necessarily
Have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything.

Thank you God for all the wonderful people who have helped
Me throughout my journey of life

Love em while they are in your life. Tell em so if you can find the way to do it.
Miss em when they are gone. Works for everything from grandparents to grandchildren to friends met online.

64.5 years boiled down to that.

Love you guys! And not in a wrong way. In a heart caring way.

By now I can put "I know" in front of most of them!

Amen!

Great post!

Just a side note - your use of colored text (other than black text) makes it EXTREMELY hard for those of us who have vision issues to read - there isn't enough contrast in color between text and background . . .

My wife and I this morning were trying to get past the heated harsh words thrown in anger and pain from yesterday when I came across this post.

I read it, out loud. We made our peace.

And I thank you Grmps for posting it. It made a difference. It helped remind us what is important. I think perhaps the Lord may have had a finger in this.

Thank you Grmps . You have done very well with your post . You have helped bring into the light many things that should be thought to dictate our words , actions and way of thinking . Thank you .

Sorry, I agree; fixed. This is the way I received it many years ago and wanted to share it in like form.

It's the words/message that counts not the color.

Thanx for sharing this, as I near the completion of my 64th trip around the Sun it follows pretty closely with my way of thinking. I shared it to my Timeline on the Book of Face [smilie=s:

I never really thought about each year being a trip around the sun. We're all members of the million mile club many, times over. And, for most of us, it's been a blast.
