In April, Maya
Angelou was interviewed by Oprah (on her show) for Dr. Angelou's
74th birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing
older. And, there on television, she said it was
"exciting." Regarding body changes, she said there
were many, occurring every day.....like her breasts. They seem
to be in a race to see which will reach her waist first, she
said. The audience laughed so hard they cried.
Dr. Angelou also said: "I've learned that no matter what
happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will
be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a
person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day,
lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your
parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've
learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as
making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives
you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through
life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to
throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide
something with an open heart, I usually make the right
decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch
someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the
back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned
that people will forget what you said, people will forget what
you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Whatever
your cross
Whatever your pain
There will always be sunshine.
After the rain
Perhaps
you may stumble
Perhaps even fall
But God's always there
To help you through it all.
|
It's not what you gather, but
what you scatter that tells what kind of
life you have lived.

A woman was asked by a co-worker, "What is
it like to be a Christian?"
The co-worker replied,
"It is like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the
patch, brings you in,
and washes all the dirt off of you. Then he cuts off the top and
scoops out
all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed,
etc., and
then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light
inside of you to
shine for all the world to see."
This was passed on to me from another pumpkin. Now, it is your
turn to pass
it to a pumpkin. I liked this enough to send it
to all the pumpkins in my patch.
