Anniversary 1May your Special Day Be a celebration Of where you've been, Where you are, and How you are growing Together in the Lord. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY !!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARYI can't imagine my life without you.To you I want to forever be true. You pick me up whenever I am down, Lifting my spirit (removing the frown). You pull me away from my many chores, Making sure my life is more than a bore ... Supporting me and encouraging, too, Making tasks easy in all that I do. I miss you greatly when you are away. It's you by my side - a comforting stay. I'm looking forward, as we grow old ... May we forever our hands still to hold. Joyce C. Lock ANNIVERSARY 2Thank you Lord, for our marriageLike a Wedding band, our love encircles but does not bind. Like our vows, our love is words but sustains because of what they mean. In your grace, our love has the permanence of rock, not of walls, but of a bridge to moments ahead as special and bright as when we first met. I Appreciate You!I may not say, "Thank you," often enoughfor all the Thoughtful Things you do, But I Hope you Know I really Appreciate You! Joyce C. Lock BirthdayA birthday gift so sweet and lovely, A birthday gift all warm and snuggly, A birthday gift from the heart is the most important part. Happy Birthday -I love you. Birthday WishesGod Bless You On Your Birthday Birthday wishes by the bunch EasterWe are celebrating today, O God, a mixture of bunnies hiding colored eggs and angels rolling away stones.

Remind us Lord, as we're caught up in well-worn traditions, and during this season of spring and rebirth, that we understand what this day is really about.FALLLeaves fall gently to the groundand make a forest bed, while geese are forming perfect V's as they fly overhead. The nights are growing colder, but days are sunny-bright, and soon the winter snows will fall to youngster's sheer delight! Tamara Hillman Copyright 2004 Cowboy's HeartTher's a feeling deep in a cowboy's heart, SnowfallsSnow falls over the trees, The ArrivalLittle fingers curl up tight to make a tiny fist,As fairy lips purse out as if to make a gentle kiss. . . Eyes, wide as a kitten's, and little button nose, You look like someone's angel--down to your pudgy toes. . . Although you are so wrinkled and your face is still so pale, And the only song you seem to know sounds like a shrilling wail, When you are here before me, finally, I feel complete. I've waited so long, sweetheart. . . at last, we finally meet. |
FreedomLet Freedom Ring from rooftops,and o'er the mighty land, and never take for granted the life of any man, who fought and gave his future, for the likes of you and me, to save his homeland's honor, and the right of liberty. Written by Tamara Hillman FriendsFriends...you and me...you brought another friend... and then there were 3... we started our group... Our circle of friends... and like that circle... there is no beginning or end... Got Change?There's Nothing I'd Rather DoThan $pend Your Birthday WITH YOU!

Enjoy LifeIf we are ever to enjoy life, Slow down and enjoy life. It's It is not how much we have, but Life Is YoursLife is Yours Recipe" I have a little recipe that isn't hard to makeBut you must always start as soon as you awake. Take a great big mixing bowl and fill it with a smile Mix half a cup of sunshine with good deeds to last a while. Add a pinch of work and play, a pinch of thoughtfulness and care But don't bake it in the oven, just spread it around everywhere." Someone CaresWhen someone caresIt is easier to speak It is easier to listen It is easier to play It is easier to work, When someone cares It is easier to laugh. Toast for YouMay you never lose a stirrup,May you never waste a loop; May your can stay full of syrup, An' your gizzard full of whoop!
FatherOne night a father overheard his son pray: Dear God,
Make me the kind of man my Daddy is. Later that night, the Father
prayed, Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be. |
Long AgoWinds through the olive trees softly did blow...Round little Bethlehem long, long ago... Sheep on the hillside lay, whiter than snow; Shepherds were watching them, long, long ago... Then from the happy sky, Angels bent low, Singing their songs of joy, long, long ago... For in a manger bed, cradled we know, Christ came to Bethlehem, long, long ago... LoveI want you to be happy.I want to fill your heart with feelings of wonder. I want you to be full of courage and hope. I want you to have the type of friendship that is a treasure. To find the kind of love that is beautiful forever. I wish you contentment: the sweet, quiet, inner kind that comes around and never goes away. Of all the things I'll be wishing for, wherever I am and whatever I do. There will never be a day in my life when I won't be wishing I were with you. Love IsLove is for AlwaysCandy is Gone with Eating. Flowers are Replaced with New. But, Love is for Always ... Like Me and You! by Joyce C. Lock If I Love YouIf I love you with a love that won't die,Will you love me in the sweet by and by? If I love you with all of my life, Will you love me in spite of the strife? If I love you be it poor or with riches, Will you love me enough to do the dishes? If I love you come rain or come shine, Will you love me and always be mine? by Joyce C. Lock MotherGod made a wonderful mother, A MotherWhen you're a child she walks before you, You're My FriendYou're Cowboy RulesFor them ol' tie-fast cowboys, Soul MateA Soul Mate is someone to whom wefeel profoundly connected, as though the communicating that takes place between us were not the product of intentional efforts, but rather a divine grace. This kind of relationship is so important to the soul that many have said there is nothing more, precious in life. Two GiftsI must tell you somethingGod placed within my view - Were it not for Jesus, I would not have met you. I've been given two gifts; A Special blessing, true. First God gave me Jesus And then He gave me you. |
