The man whispered, "God, speak to me." And a meadowlark sang.

But, the man did not hear.

Then the man yelled "God, speak to me." Thunder rolled across the sky.

But, the man did not listen

The man looked around and said, "God, let me see you."

And the stars shined brightly.

But the man did not notice

And, the man shouted, "God, show me a miracle."

And, a life was born.

But the man did not know.

So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know

you are here." Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.

But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.

So remember, don’t miss out on a blessing because it

isn’t packaged the way that you expect.

Take notice of the blessings around you.

May God Bless You Always for Your Sacrifice!

 One Flaw In Women (you will see what it is in the end) Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice. They don’t take ’no’ for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They have the compassion and ideas. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
