• ALWAYS HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF
  
  " It is not easy to live life sometimes
  And face the world with a smile when you're crying inside.
  It takes a lot of courage to reach down inside yourself,
  Hold on to that strength that's still there,
  And know that tomorrow is a new day-with new possibilities.
  
  But if you can just hold on long enough to see this through,
  You'll come out a new person-stronger,
  With more understanding and with a new pride in yourself
  From knowing you made it."
  --- By Kathy Obara --- Sent in by Vicki Hoyle
  
  
   
• " When you come to the end of everything you know
  And are faced with the darkness of the unknown,
  Faith is knowing one of two things will happen.
  Either there will be something solid for you to stand on,
  Or you will be taught how to fly."

• " We can't begin to understand what God has planned for us,
  But we face each day with a smile, and in his name we trust
  For in this vast world.....is Love
  If only we could see the dove
  It seems sometimes he doesn't care
  When things get rough and hard to bear
  But with our Faith we can survive
  Because in our hearts HE is Alive!!"
