One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets
of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the
roads are wet and slick.
Suddenly, my daughter, Aspen ,
spoke up from her relaxed position in her seat. "Dad, I'm
thinking of something."

This announcement usually meant she had been pondering some
fact for a while, and was now ready to expound all
that her six-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear.

"What are you thinking?" I asked.

"The rain!" she began, "is like sin, and the windshield
wipers are like God wiping our sins away."

After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.
"That's really good, Aspen."

Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl take
this revelatio! n? So I asked... "Do you notice how the rain
keeps on coming? What does that tell you?"
Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer:

"We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."
I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.

READ THE FIRST LINE CAREFULLY.

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.

Every moment, thank God.

Jesus Test

This is an easy test, you score 100 or zero. It's your choice. If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions.

Jesus said, "if you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."
Not ashamed Pass this on . . . only if you mean it.
Yes, I do Love God.
He is my source of existence and Savior.
He keeps me functioning each and everyday.
Without Him, I will be nothing. !
Without Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.
Phil 4:13



This is the simplest test. If you Love God, and are not ashamed of all the marvelous things he has done for you.

Love

L - Life - Long commitment
O - Other - Centred lifestyle
V - Value - Based decision
E - Empowered - Growth relationship

For all you people who say, "I love you"
when you
have no clue what love is exactly!!!

Something to ponder upon...

Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing
and is
your voice caught within your chest?
It isn't love, it's LIKE.

You can't keep your eyes or hands off of
her/him?
It isn't love, it's LUST.

Are you proud, and eager to show her/him off?
It isn't love, it's LUCK.

Do you want her because you know she's/he's
there?
It isn't love, it's LONELINESS.

Are you with her/him because it's what
everyone
wants?
It isn't love, it?s LOYALTY.

Are you with her because she/he kissed you,
or
held your hand?
It isn't love, it's LOW CONFIDENCE.

Do you stay for her/him confessions of love,
because you don't want to hurt her/him?
It isn't love, it's PITY.

Do you belong to her/him because the sight
of
her/him makes your heart skip a beat?
It isn't love, it's INFATUATION.

Do you pardon her faults because you care
about
her/him?
It isn't love, it's FRIENDSHIP.

Do you tell her/him every day she is the only
one
you think of?
It isn't love, it's a LIE.

Are you willing to give up all of your favorite
things
or her sake?
It isn't love, it's CHARITY.

====================
====================

Does your heart ache and break when she's
sad?
Then it's LOVE.

Do you cry for her/his pain, even when
she's/he's
strong?
Then it's LOVE.

Do her/his eyes see your true heart, and touch
your soul so deeply it hurts?
Then it's LOVE.

Do you stay because a blinding,
incomprehensible
mix of pain and relation pulls you close and
holds
you to her/him?
Then it's LOVE.

Do you accept her/his faults because it's a
part of
who she/he is?
Then it's LOVE.

Are you attracted to others, but stay with
her/him
faithfully without regret??
Then it's LOVE.

Would you give her/him your heart, your life,
your
death??
Then it's LOVE.

Now, if love is painful, and tortures us so,
why do
we love? Why is it all we search for in life?
This
pain, this agony? Why is it all we long for?
This
torture, this powerful death of self? Why? The
answer is so simple cause it's...LOVE. It is
such
an addictive thing that even people who are
not
having it wish to experience it and share it
with
others as well.

Pass this to all your friends so they don't
make the
same mistake with their LOVE LIVES!! I like
the
dreams of the future better than the history of
the
past...

Love hurts our feeling, but it's also the reason
our
soul heal...

Jesus love is sacrificing, how amazing is such love and grace?

only Jesus love can heal us!!! His love is perfect and unconditional!

He is the truth, the way and life!!

He is our hope, love, peace and care!!

plz help

It's so terrible.....

Please Read This...

Last week a 3 year old girl (in South Africa) was beaten and raped.
She is still alive. The man responsible was released on bail yesterday.
He is walking the streets. If you are too busy to read this then just
sign your name and forward this on.

The South African Government is planning to close the Child Protection
Unit and this is a petition against it. This is a very important
petition. It is an essential part of the justice system for children.
You may
have already heard that there's a myth in South Africa that having sex
with a virgin will cure AIDS. The younger the virgin, the more potent
the cure. This has led to an epidemic of rapes by infected males, with
the correspondent infection of innocent kids. Many have died in these
cruel rapes.

Recently in Cape Town, a 9-month-old baby was raped by 6 men. Please
think about that for a moment. The child abuse situation is now
reaching
catastrophic proportions and if we don't do something, then who will?

Kindly add your name to the bottom of the list and please pass this on
to as many people as you know.If you are signature no.120 - please
forward
the mail-list to childprotectpca@saps.org.za
org.za&YY=43030&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b><

mailto:childprotectpca@saps.org.za
org.za&YY=43030&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b>>

Please don't be complacent, do something about the kids of South
Africa.
You can make a difference. That child is fighting for life.

This is just one of the million cases of child abuse, so please pledge
your support and help keep CPU (CHILD PROTECTION UNIT) open. Please
give your support to the petition and ensure that it goes to as many
people as possible.

Please don't just leave it, make a difference. In order to write your
name copy this message and paste it in a new mail (compose).

WOMEN OF STRENGTH

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape ...
but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape...

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything ...
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear...

A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her ...
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone...

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future...
a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them...

A strong woman walks sure footedly ...
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls...

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face ...
but a woman of strength wears grace...

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey ...
but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong...
