I cannot give you solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers. I cannot change your past with all its heartache and pain, nor the future with its untold stories. But I can be there now when you need me to care. I cannot keep your feet from stumbling. I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall. Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine; yet I can share in your laughter. Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge; I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask. I cannot prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me. I can only pray for you, talk to you, and wait for you. I cannot give you boundaries which I have determined for you, but I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself. I cannot keep your heart from breaking and hurting, but I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place. I cannot tell you who you are. I can only love you and be your friend. Everyone gets an Angel.... You can't always see them because, sometimes, they are invisible. Sometimes they are your pet when he kisses you.... Sometimes they are a small treasure you find, an Angel might even be your friend. Those Angels are quiet but what they are really saying is "pink clouds....a good day is just around the corner." So if you begin to worry too much, just remember. . . Somewhere an Angel is looking out for you,too! If we share our laughter and our smiles with everyone, and help each other feel a sense of worth, God will bless our lives, and though we pass this way but once, we can make a difference here on earth. "Special" is a word that is used to describe something one-of-a-kind like a hug or a sunset or a person who spreads love with a smile or kind gesture. "Special" describes people who act from the heart and keep in mind the hearts of others. "Special" applies to something that is admired and precious which can never be replaced. "Special" is the word that best describes YOU ! - by Teri Fernandez The font used on this page is Kelly Ann Gothic © June2000
