I found this today on a in the back of my file cabinet. Someone gave it to me a while back. I haven't read it in a long time: You and God People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies; Succeed anyway; If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you; Be honest and sincere anyway What you spend years creating others could destroy overnight; Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten; Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway. ~ Mother Teresa

I have one that was written by me that I'd like to share but it will take a bit to get it together and posted. Is it ok to share?
This is a true event. It did happen on one of my walks. I was really needing comfort and I got it. I truly believe God used me to get this message out. I have other "events" that have been written since as well. I owe it all to HIM. HE is responsible for it. He just used me to write it. Thanks for reading! The Solid Line One evening I was taking a walk. I usually do so a lot. It is MY time alone with God. But this night was different. A message was coming and I will NEVER look at the road the same way again. As I walked, I looked down and noticed that the one yellow line in the middle of the road stood out more than ever before. It was than that He spoke to my heart. “The road is a very dangerous place to be.” I said to Him. “So is life at times.” He replied. “Life is like a road. In the center of it, I am. Just as the solid yellow line runs down the center of the road, I am constant.” A short distance further, I noticed that there were 2 yellow lines in the road. I wondered and asked. “God, is this me with you?” “Yes it is.” He said. “But it is not often enough. Your journey with me is not constant. I am constant.” I felt convicted as I knew it was the truth. Soon, one of the yellow lines became hash marks. I became a little afraid. “Lord, what dos this mean?” “It means you are not constant. You walk with me and then stray away. You come back for awhile, but you go again. It grieves Me and I miss you. I am constant.” God replied. And then the solid yellow line was gone! Surely he would not leave me...surely not. I was very concerned. “Where are you, Lord?” I asked There I was in the middle of the road and felt that I could not find Him. Just as the hash marks came and went, I realized that so did I. “What lesson is there in this? Have you forgotten me?” I asked. “Peace...” He said. “Be still and know that I am God. Now look to either side of you.” I did and noticed that on each side of the road was a “Solid Line” right on the edges. “But you are so far away!” I said. “Oh no.” He replied. “I am giving you the room and circumstance you need to grow in Me. I love you. I’d never leave you. I am right here on the edge of life to make sure you don’t fall off. I am constant. But how I long for our journeys together, just like the two solid lines that run along side one another.” Life is a road......It has it’s turns, dead ends, pleasantries and tragedies. The next time you take a drive, look at the lines in the road. And remember His words that no matter what, “I am constant.”
