The Best Things.......

THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE DO NOT COME EASILY....IF THEY DID WE WOULD NOT KNOW HOW TO PERSEVERE IN HARD TIMES......

NOTHING COMES WITHOUT A PRICE......

THE LORD GIVETH.....AND HE TAKETH AWAY....

IF EVERYTHING IN LIFE MADE SENSE.....WE WOULD NOT KNOW HOW TO PERSEVERE IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY........

IF WE DID NOT KNOW PAIN...

WE WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE PLEASURE.........

THERE CANNOT BE GOOD WITHOUT THE BAD....

WE WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO STRIVE FOR....

MY WISH FOR ALL.....

MAY YOU HAVE THE WISDOM TO RECOGNIZE PRIORITIES......

THE COURAGE TO PROPEL YOURSELF INTO THE UNKNOWN.........

THE STRENGTH TO ACCEPT YOUR MISTAKES...

AND THE PASSION TO CORRECT THEM WHOLE-HEARTEDLY...

STRIVE TO BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE...WHILE YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO.....BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE......

OPPORTUNITIES DO NOT LAST FOREVER......

THE GREATEST ACTS OF LOVE AND GENEROSITY SHOULD ALWAYS BEGIN AT HOME.......

IT WILL ALWAYS BEGIN A RIPPLE EFFECT THAT WILL GROW OUTWARD TO TOUCH ONE AND ALL.....

EMBRACE YOUR FAMILY FIRST....FOR THEY WERE THERE FIRST.....AND WITH ANY LUCK WILL BE THERE LAST......WHEN IT REALLY COUNTS.......

I BELIEVE THAT THE BEST THING I CAN DO IN LIFE IS TO LOVE AND RESPECT MY CHILDREN...FOR THEY WILL LEARN AND SHARE WITH OTHERS....

FAMILY IS THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL........

THANK YOU GOD FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF MY PRECIOUS CHILDREN......FOR THE STRENGTH, PATIENCE AND COURAGE NEEDED TO PERSERVERE THROUGH THE GOOD TIMES AND THE BAD....AND THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE AND APPRECIATE THE PUREST GIFT OF ALL....THE LOVE OF MY BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN....MAY YOU HELP OTHERS THAT MAY BE LOST TO FIND AND EMBRACE THIS GIFT...FOR IT IS THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL....THANK YOU.....AMEN.......
