A soft wind whispers through
the leaves, and sings a song
to all creation.

I wonder at the beauty of
Another day. Some have
Gone about their day in
A hurry and not taken
One moment to see the
The beauty of a robin,
Heading to it's nest.

And missed the laughter
of a child, or spoken
a kind word to another
In our hurry to accomplish
all the success we seek
we miss what is really
important, our families,
And friends

As they play with our
children and grandchildren.
They are the true treasures
of life.

It is not what we have in
A bank, or if we belong to
the right clubs in town.
No, true riches in this
life can't be found in
a savings account, they
can't be placed on an
end table to gather dust.

You don't hide or tuck
away, True treasures.
For they are, Love,
Hope, joy, and caring
For others. All these
come from the heart.

The more you give and share
those valuable treasures,
the richer you become.
And when it is from the
Heart, it's pure and
Full of life and gives
Strength to the hurting
And comfort to the lonely.

These gifts can not be
Contained or saved...
You need to keep giving
To those around you, so
there will be room
for all the blessings
you receive.

You see, when you share a smile
a word of encouragement, or a
Hug, you get blessed
Right back!

Isn't that what each of us
want to know? That no
Matter what we are facing
someone will be there to
tell us, "Don't worry,
this to shall pass."

Is there someone right now
that you can think of, that
may be in need of a kind
word, a smile, or a
hug today?

Maybe an old friend that
you used to see or talk
with everyday....
Come on, make someone
smile, and share the
best gift that you have,
Yourself!

Give of your time, your
laughter and a lot of your
faith. Be the best friend
you can be by just being
There.

Each of us need a shoulder
to lean on, and a hand to hold.
