Hope Thoughts from the old man of the Sea of Life

Stop to Smell The Roses

I have never claimed to have an original thought,
but rather a transporter of valuable truth,
hidden deep in the holds of my ship of life
to share with those in need.

To some they have no value
but to others, they are life indeed.

Deut. 30. 19 : I set before you, life and death.
Choose life that you and your seed may live.

Example:
Happiness and love are in your hands
to choose or reject.
To reject is to choose bitterness.

To Quote the words of a poet:
“Some say, love it’s a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves the soul to bleed.
Some say Love it is a hunger
an endless ache and need.
I say, love it is a flower,
and you it’s only seed.

It’s the heart, afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It’s the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It’s the one who won’t be taken
that never seems to give.
And the soul afraid of dying,
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter,
far beneath the bitter snow,
lies the seed,
that with the Son’s love,

	title what is true value? You have 60 miles to walk through the desert at 110 %. You have one gallon of water. The only other person out there offers you $50,000 for 1/2 of your water .What would it profit a man if he gained the whole world but did not make it through the desert? What do you have of true value that you are throwing away for a moment of pleasure. Now look to see if there is any more mail in your mailbox.
