Love Is... Love is patient, Love is kind
Love is not jealous, is not proud. Is not puffed up,
It does not behave badly.
Love does not easily get angry,
It does not think evil. Love does not rejoice in iniquity,
But rejoices in the truth.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
Hopes all things, endures all things. Love nevers fails.
Shared Tear
As the sun goes down,
we realize
that another day is coming to an end.
We feel for your family and close
friends
at the loss of your loved one.
We wish you the peace and assurance
that the reasons are there.
They may be beyond our understanding
at this time, but they do exist.
We pray you are comforted during this
time of grief,
through your friends and family.
We just want you to know,
"Insert Name", that
our thoughts and prayers are with you.

A Nurse's PrayerLet me dedicate my life today
to the care of those
who come my way. Let me touch each one
with healing hand
and the gentle art
for which I stand. And then tonight
when day is done,
O let me rest in peace
if I helped just one...

A Chosen Child
You're a chosen child...
You're ours, but not by birth.
But we feel the same, we feel
You're the greatest child on earth.
You're a chosen child...
Sent down from God above.
Chosen to fill our home,
With laughter and with love.
You're a chosen child, "Name"...
You've given us so much pleasure.
Chosen above the rest,
A precious, priceless treasure.

A Daughter
A daughter is a wonderful blessing,
A treasure from above.
She's laughter, warmth and special charm,
She's thoughfulnes and love. A daughter brings a special joy,
That comes from deep inside.
And as she grows to adulthood,
She fills your heart with pride. With every year that passes,
She's more special than before.
Through every stage, through every age,
You love her even more. No words can describe the warm memories,
The pride and gratitude, too.
That comes from having a daughter,
To love and cherish... just like you, "Name"

Walking with Grandma "Name"
I like to walk with Grandma,
Her steps are short like mine,
She doesn't say, "Now Hurry Up!"
She always takes her time.
I like to walk with Grandma,
Her eyes see things like mine do...
Wee pebbles bright, a funny cloud,
Half hidden drops of dew.
Most people have to hurry,
They do not stop and see.
I'm Glad that God made Grandma "Name",
Unrushed and young like me.

My Wish for "Name" When you are lonely
I wish you love.
When you are down
I wish you joy.
When you are troubled
I wish you peace.
When things are complicated
I wish you simple beauty.
When things are chaotic
I wish you inner silence.
When things look empty
I wish you hope.
Footprints in the Sand
One night a woman had a dream she was
walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from her life.
For each scene, she noticed two sets
of footprints in the sand;
one belonging to her, the other belonging
to the Lord.
When the last scene of her life
flashed before her, she looked back at the
footprints in the sand.
She noticed that many times
along the path of her life
there
was only one set of footprints,
and that it happened at the
very lowest
and saddest times of her life...
This really bothered her and she
questioned the lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to
follow you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But during the most troublesome times
in my life, there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed
you most, You would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child.
I love you, "Insert Name",
and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

A Policeman's Prayer When I start my tour of duty God,
Wherever crime may be,
As I walk the darkened streets alone,
let me be close to thee. Please give me understanding
with both young and old.
Let me listen with attention
until their story's told. Let me never make judgement
in a rash or callous way.
But let me hold my patience,
let each man have his say. Lord if some dark and dreary night,
I must give my life,
Lord with your everlasting love
protect my children and my wife.

Our Son-In-Law
The day you wed our daughter,
The day you took her hand,
We didn't want to let her go,
For you, or any man.
But now we see the joy she's found,
How on you she can depend.
You've made her life complete,
You've become her special friend.
So now we want to tell you, "Name",
That you have grown to be,
Someone we think the world of,
We're glad to call you "Family".

Sister
We ran and played and shared our toys...
How I remember childhood joys. We shared a home with Mom and Dad...
These memories now make me glad. I looked to you when times were bad...
You saw my face when it was sad. We see each other less these days, but...
You'll be close to me always. I've loved you sister from the start...
The ties that bind are in my Heart!

A Wonderful Mother
God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old.
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And he molded her heart of pure gold.
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks, fair roses you see.
God made that wonderful mother,
And he gave that dear mother to me.
