    Food For Thought
    Lisajonescollins says (17 Feb '12)

     

    What if all our wishes came true?

    I wish the world was a more beautiful place, to run and hide and not worry about never being found.

    I wish there was a brief summary of peoples characteristics, so when you meet them, you know who they are and if you can handle them.

    I wish I knew the moment I stepped onto the wrong path, And maybe I wouldn’t have traveled miles down it before deciding I was in the wrong place.

    I wish it was easier to open up to the ones I love, but instead I write everything down.

    I wish I was blessed with super powers and was able to keep the house clean and the kids happy and myself happy without feeling like I was neglecting something or someone.

    I wish when I was young, I enjoyed being young and made it a point to have a childhood.

    I wish I could see into the future and know that everything will be okay and things will work out.

    I wish I didn’t disappoint or anger everyone I know, at least once or twice.

    I wish I knew before I knew-that I was someone and deserved something.

    I wish I was the best mother the best spouse and had firm control over what life has thrown my way.

    I wish I could find a job and an employer that sees-I never give up and never give in

    I wish things could be easy, just for a little while

    I wish I could help everyone that needs a smile today

    I wish I was still that invisible girl-because then I knew the people that truly saw me.

    I wish I could explain what is wrong when nothing is wrong.

    I wish when I am right-I could scream I am not wrong. But I can’t and stutter when I try.

    I wish when I slept I felt rested and refreshed, but I am always so tired when the day begins.

    I wish I could say sorry and it be enough-but I can’t find the right words to say that I am sorry.

    I wish people were less selfish and more willing to see past themselves

    I wish I had the answers to all my questions instead of having so much doubt and so much me.

    I don’t really wish for anything except I wish, I hope, I dream-that I never give up on the hope that one day, that one wish will be true-and the world will be a more beautiful place, to run and hide and not worry about never being found.

It wasn't the nails that saved us it was LOVE that saved us.

I heard a quote once that said "the only thing stronger than fear is hope". Well, I kind of think it is love, but hope is good too.

Love conquers all! If we love everything, everything would be easy....even if it's bad!
Everyone has a cross to bear. It could always be worse. Be thankful for what you have not what you think you don't.
Be content inside and out. It was not the nails that saved us, it was his love that saved us.
Don't complain it won't help. Take up the cross because it's out of love that it was given. Without a cross we have no chance, it's used to strengthen us not to crucify us. The Lord came to save the world, not to comdem it.

I wish people would only turn to The Savior and Redeemer of the world Jesus Christ to see how He can and will transform your life. If we would only begin to become a little more obdient to His Truth and His Words this world would be that beautiful place that He created just for us. And I personally think that He's not asking that much of us verses what this God forsaken world wants and demands. All you have to do is give Him a little and you get alot more in return and I.m not just talk material things. He's the only one who can give you a kind of peace that this world does not know. Don't beat yurself up and feel guilty over something that He knows you have no control over, just ask for His help, it's easy. Pray. Never cease praying. Pound His door down so to speak. Just do what He says and everything will fall into place. Your eyes will be opened, your ears will hear something different. Never doubt Him, even in the most painful times because that's where you will find Him there the most, right there with you and by your side. That's why He came here, to lighten up the burdens of our lives. To help and guide us along the way. Without Him we can do nothing. If you put all of your trust and whole heart into His hands he will never abandon you, even if it looks grimm, never stop trusting in Him. Don't give up or beat yourself up over something that you have no control of. He knows everyth and will help you to overcome any obstacle , if not, He knows what's in your heart. He knows every hair on our heads (and the ones we lost)! He even had His moments of doubt and pain and still He does, until we all turn back to Him. Seek perfection in His eyes and the world won't stand a chance. This world is passing away quickly. Don't get discouraged over broken dreams or achievements because in the end it doesn't even matter. -Lincoln Park. Smart words. Accept Gods will and never question it. Don't waist time, run, run to Him before it's too late!

She sounds kind of depressed and looks it. Hope she is okay. Worry bout folks like this. Life is a gift and i wish they could see it....Some days are good some are bad. But they are trapped in unhappiness and usually can not see the good! May she be blessed to overcome all that seems to be troubling her...

Thank You Lisa ~ I read everything you post...Such a perspective , very focused and graphic ...The way you write, reminds me of when I was young. I would take a 'Tumbler' from the kitchen, and walk around the yard, holding the glass up close to my eyes like a magnifying glass. (They were just old, recycled Jam jars!) But I would see things up close. The edges were always distorted and hazy, but in the exact center - They were so clear & enlarged...I could see what I meant to be looking at instead of all the gobbldy-gook around the boarders!....To make a long story short...I better Hurry-up with THAT !, THANK YOU and I've come back and read this over , and over...each time ...another phrase 'Sticks' , and I savor it throughout the day:) I agree with 1bb, Fascinating! ...Thank You Lisa:)
