Thinking of you all...



since <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com /><st1:date Year=Dec. 1, 2000</st1:date> please send it on.


God's Boxes




I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day,
The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.
I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me."
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."

We should consider all of our friends a blessing.

Send this to a friend today just to let them know you
are thinking of them and that they are a joy in your life.


A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end.
It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends.

But the treasure inside for you to see,
Is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.

Today I pass the friendship ball to you.
Pass it on to someone who is a friend to you...


Okay, here goes, you should send it to at least 10 people to brighten their day,

including the person who sent it to you.

Thank-you and I know that this is Sappy but that really saved me today... I am having a hard time and that just made me remember that I am not in this alone.....

I felt the same exact way when I read the poem. That is why I wanted to bring it back out from the "archive" of chit chat

I know you all know that feeling when everything is going wrong... You know that some of your choices are not right but you are a point where u cant really do much about it... Either because you are not strong enough or it would hurt more then just yourself..... That is when you forget that there is help out there........
