IN MEMORY OF MY LOVING MOTHER
ZHENG-FANG TAO JUNG (1924 - 2000)
Safely Home
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, Jesus’ love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And he came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread
And with Jesus’ arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,
Pray to trust our Father’s will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth –
You shall rest in Jesus’ land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
Love,
Christine & Andy

"...And you become ever more thankful for
the grace that surrounds your days,
not to insulate you from hurt,
but to enable you to become all that you
hope you can be
and that God knows you can be. "
Finding Your Place After Divorce - Carole Sanderson Streeter
Los Angeles 1992
To live content with small
means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury, and
refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable;
and wealthy, not rich;
to study hard, think quietly, talk gently,
act frankly;
to listen to stars and birds, to babes and
sages, with open heart;
to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely,
await occasions, hurry never.
In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden
and unconscious, grow up through the common.
This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing (1810 - 1884)
My grace is sufficient for
three; for My strength is made perfect in weakness.
--
2 Corinthians 12:9
"...For with God all things are possible."
-- Mark 10:27
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in
want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores
my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for
his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence
of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
-- Psalm 23: 1-3
"The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control ..."
- - Galatians 5:22, 23
The price of greatness is responsibility - Winston Churchill
To Achieve Your Dreams (A -Z)
Avoid negative
sources, people, places, things and habits.
Believe in
yourself.
Consider things
from every angle.
Don't give
up and don't give in.
Enjoy life
today, yesterday is gone, and tomorrow is waiting for you.
Family and
friends are hidden treasures.
Give more than
you planned to.
Hang on to
your dreams.
Ignore those
who try to discourage you.
Just do it.
Keep trying
no matter how hard it seems, it will get easier.
Love the Lord
your God, and love your neighbor as yourself.
Make it happen.
Never lie,
cheat or steal, always strike a fair deal.
Open your eyes
and see things as they really are.
Practice makes
perfect.
Quitters never
win, and winners never quit.
Read, study
and learn about everything important in your life.
Stop procrastinating.
Take control
of you own destiny.
Understand
yourself to better understand others.
Ventures are
for the bold people.
Where there's
a will, there's a way.
Xeroxing a
great success does not lead to another success.
You are unique
of all God's creatures, nothing can replace YOU.
Zero in on
your targets and go for it.
It's not whether you get knocked down. It's whether you get up again." -- Vince Lombardi
