God's Note to His Kids

We are incapable of knowing in our feeble human minds just how very precious we are to God. But to help you imagine it, I have adapted this short piece. Think about it as you read it slowly... You tender heavenly Father is lovingly talking to His child...

"Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because I made you all different that each of you is special.

Do not set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you and I know what is best for you.

Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart (including Me).
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.

Do not let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past nor for the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of I have given you.

Do not give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that you will learn how to be brave.

Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly.

Do not dismiss your dreams, for I am one of them.
To be without dreams is to be without hope;
To be without hope is to be without purpose.

Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Do not think you walk alone.
I who have always been beside you will never leave you nor forsake you.

Beauty Tips
Submitted by Margo Bentzler

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in other people.

To lose weight, let go of stress, hatred, anger, contempt and the need to control others.

To improve your ears, listen to the Word of God.

Rather than focus on the thorns of life, smell the roses and count your blessings, giving thanks for each one of them.

For poise, walk with knowledge and self-esteem.

To strengthen your arms, hug at least 3 people day. Touch someone with your love.

To strengthen your heart, forgive yourself and others. Don't worry and hurry so much.

Rather than walk this earth lightly, walk firmly with determination and leave your mark.

For the ultimate in business, casual or evening attire, put on the robe of Christ-- it fits like a glove but allows room for growth. Best of all, it never goes out of style and is always appropriate for any occasion.

Doing each of these things on a daily basis will certainly make you a more beautiful person.

We need articles, poetry and other original submissions
of interest to women, especially Christian women.
