THE STORY OF THE ROSE
 
God created the rose for Women,
It represents beauty,
Its petals represent soft skin,
Its leaves represent outstretched arms,
always loving and giving;
Its stem represents strength.

I give this rose to each of you, for you are special to me.
Each time you look at the rose, remember....
YOU are SOMEBODY, God did not
take the time to make a nobody.

An Angel Story
 
The child asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth
tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
 
"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
 
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't
have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."
 
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for
you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
 
Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to
understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"
 
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet
words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care,
your angel will teach you how to speak."
 
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
 
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will
teach you how to pray."
 
"Who will protect me?"
 
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."
 
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
 
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about me and
will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will
always be next to you."
 
At that moment there was much peace in heaven, but voices
from earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked,
"God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
 
"You will simply call her Mom."
 
Lift a mother's spirit; send this to every mother you know.

When your hut's on fire ...
 
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but no one seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?" Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
 
The Moral of This Story: It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God.

WOMAN TO WOMAN ENCOURAGEMENT
 
Someone will always be smarter. Their house will be bigger. They will
drive a better car. Their children will do better in school. And their
partners will fix more things around the house. So let it go and love
you and your circumstances. Think about it. The prettiest woman in the
world can have hell in her heart. And the most highly favored woman on
your job may be unable to have children. The richest woman you know
she's got the car, the house, the clothes - might be heartbreakingly
lonely. So, love you. Love who you are right now. Tell yourself, "I am
too blessed to be stressed." Be blessed ladies and pass this on to
encourage another woman. "To the world you might be one person, but to
one person you just might be the world." Send this to wonderful strong
women you know.
