This little cross isn’t magic, Nor is it a good luck charm. It isn’t meant to protect me From every physical harm. It’s not for identification For all the world to see. It’s simply an understanding Between my Savior and me. It reminds me too, to be thankful For my blessings every day, And to strive to serve Him better In all that I do or say. When I put my hand in my pocket To bring out a coin or a key, The cross is there to remind me Of the price He paid for me. It’s also a daily reminder Of the peace and comfort I share With all who know my Master And give themselves to His care. So, I carry a cross in my pocket Reminding none but me That Jesus Christ is Lord of my life, If only I’ll let Him be. – Author Unknown Meditation: Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree

Samuel squatted before his son and looked him in the eye. “Have a good day at school, and remember, no matter what, I’ll always be there for you.” They hugged and the boy ran off to school. Hours later, a powerful earthquake rocked the area. In the midst of the pandemonium, Samuel and Danielle tried to discover what happened to their son but they couldn’t get any information. The radio announced that there were thousands of casualties. Samuel then grabbed his coat and headed for the schoolyard. When he reached the area, what he saw brought tears to his eyes. Armand’s school was a pile of debris. Other parents were standing around crying. Samuel found the place where Armand’s classroom used to be and began pulling a broken beam off the pile of rubble. He then grabbed a rock and put it to the side, and then grabbed another one. One of the parents looking on asked, “What are you doing?” “Digging for my son,” Samuel answered. The man

Although her heart was filled with sadness, she also had a strong feeling of determination. Like any parent she wanted her son to grow up and fulfil all his dreams. Now that was no longer possible. The leukaemia would see to that. But, she still wanted her son’s dreams to come true. She took her son’s hand and asked, “Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up? Did you ever dream and wish what you would do with your life?” “Mommy, I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up.” Mom smiled back and said, “Let’s see if we can make your wish come true.” Later that day she went to her local fire department in Phoenix, Arizona, where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix. She explained her son’s final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine. Fireman Bob said, “Look, we can

I’d try my best to put a smile on someone’s face To share with them your saving grace. I’d remember things about my life The times you were there through fun and strife, And thank you then for all you’ve done. Without you no victories would have been won. If I have one more day before I die I would apologize to the kid I made cry. I would take back the harsh words said to everyone, And fill their hearts with laughter and fun. If I only had one more day I wouldn’t push anyone away. I wouldn’t try to hurt a friend Because I should love them to the very end. Why not live each day as if it were our last Looking towards our future and forgetting the past To be a Christian each day we live And most importantly to always give. – Carol Ann Meditation: So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. – Psalm 90:12 You
