Drink, Steal, Swear & Lie

DRINK, STEAL, SWEAR & LIE

I met this guy while in the USA and he has a motto he lives by everyday.

He said listen carefully and live by these 4 rules : Drink, Steal, Swear, & Lie.

I was shaking my head ‘no’, but he then told me to listen while he explained his four rules.

 

So here they are :

1. DRINK from the "springs of living water" every day.

2. STEAL a moment to help someone that is in worse shape than you are.

3. SWEAR that you will be a better person today than yesterday.

4. And last, but not least, when you LIE down at night thank God you live in Canada and have freedom.

I am not as good as I should be.

I am not as good as I could be.

But THANK GOD I am better than I used to be!

I believe…

                                           I BELIEVE…….

   I Believe . . . Have a seat relax and
   read this slowly. This sums it all up .

   I believe -

   mean they don’t love each other. And just because they
   don’t argue, it doesn’t mean they do.

   cruel.

   I believe -

   experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from
   them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve
   celebrated.

   .. . that your life can be changed in a matter of
   hours by people who don’t even know you.

   I believe -
   .. . that even when you think you have no more to
   give, when a friend cries out to you -you will find
   the strength to help.

   I believe -
   …. that credentials on the wall do not make you a
   decent human being.

   I believe -
   .. . . that the people you care about most in life are
   taken from you too soon.

   I believe -
   .. . . that you should send this to all of the people
   that you believe in. I just did

 

 

As we grow up

 

 

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that

wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will  have your heart broken probably more than once and it’s harder every time.

 You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You’ll fight with your best friend. You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did.

You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and  you’ll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt

because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.

Don’t be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

Thought of the Day

 

Laugh loudly and as often as you can.

Smile at a stranger. Bless people with your joy.

If you don’t have joy,

then ask God to guide your heart toward the joy found in Christ.
