[96] life is a beautiful journey.
we travel our ways with memories behind,
with our dreams up ahead
and a brand new hope each day.
when you find yourself in a position to help someone,
be happy and glad.
because God is answering that person's prayer thru you.
nothing is hard if the heart is praying.
nothing is impossible when the heart has faith.
nothing is heavy when we pray.

[97] 3 steps to a happy life:
1. don't stress yourself with useless people
who don't even deserve to be an issue in your life.
2. never invest too much emotion at 1 thing
because if you do, you'll end up hurting yourself.
3. learn to live life without worries
because God will make a way for everything.

[98] when nice people touch our lives,
we see how beautiful and wonderful our world can be.
blessed our those who give us time,
nice thoughts and love.

[99] some lessons are best learned through pain.
sometimes, our visions are clear
only after our eyes are washed with tears.
sometimes we have to be broken
so we can be whole again.
if God meant the day to be perfect,
He would not have invented tomorrow.
imagine how great tomorrow will be.
it is God who prepares it for you.

[100] giving is not emptying one's resources
but making room for a fresh refill of God's grace.
be gracious in giving
and be joyful at heart.

[91] do not worry about tomorrow
for tomorrow will worry about its own things.
sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
- Matthew 6:34

[92] serving God is a privilege, not a burden.
if God gives you an assignment, count yourself blessed
that He considers you faithful enough
to trust you with it.

[93] little keys can open big locks;
simple words can express great thoughts;
a sincere prayer everyday
brings you God's immeasurable blessings and graces.

[94] there's music from heaven
that takes away our tiredness
it is God's melody of love
that quiets all our weariness.
hear it and find peace in His presence.

[95] one sure way to have a good day
is by cleansing our hearts.
no bitterness, no hatred, no anger, no fear.
enjoy a heart that never hardens,
a temper that never rises,
a touch that never hurts,
and a love that never dies.
God alone has all these for you.
