"Addiction"

When I started using drugs 
It was all just fun and games, 

Hanging out, getting high, 
and Feeling no pain.
Having lots of fun
Running with the crowd
Doing what I wanted  
When I knew it wasn't allowed.
Slowly, day by day, those drugs 
Changed my life
Always getting in trouble Living from night to night.
At some point I became addicted I'm not sure
when or how I started lying, cheating and scheming

 Of those things, I am not proud.
Addiction is cunning
It's a baffling disease 
It makes you very selfish
It creates enemies.
But in the shadow of darkness
There is a ray of hope
You can defeat addiction You can take control.
The journey through recovery
Is a long and treacherous
road But if you have the courage Just reach out and take hold.
Take hold of your dignity Regain your happy life
You are not alone With God by your side
He'll walk you through the shadows Of heartache and pain Give your will to him
You have everything to gain.

Did you know?

Just something to think about.
Did you know the people that are the strongest are usually the most sensitive? 
 Did you know the people who exhibit the most kindness are the first to get mistreated? 
Did you know the ones who take care of others 
all the time are usually the ones who need it the most? 
Did you know the three hardest things to say are I love you, I'm sorry, and help me? 
Sometimes just because a person looks happy, you have to look past their smile to see how much pain they may be in. 
To all my friends who are going through some issues right now--let's start an intentional avalanche. We all need positive intentions right now.

NAILS IN THE FENCE

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.
His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that 
every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail
into the back of the fence.
The first day,the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. 
Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, 
the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down.
He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. 
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.
He told his father about it and the father suggested that 
the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he
was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able
to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. 
He said, 'You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. 
The fence will
never be the same.  
When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one.  
You can put a knife in a man and draw it out... but It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound will still be there.
A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
Remember that friends are very rare jewels indeed.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed; 
They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open
their hearts to us.
Please forgive
me if I have ever left a 'hole' in your fence.

If An Angel Is Someone

If an angel is someone

who's so filled with love,
it's a gift that they constantly share
If an angel is someone
who looks out for others
and gives them a nudge here or there,
If an angel is someone
who touches your life
with a heart that's both joyful and wise,
Then even though you
don't have halo or wings,
you're an angel in human disguise!

Short Prayer for Thankfulness

God, sometimes life gets me down and
I find it hard to see things to be thankful for.
Open my eyes to see the gifts you’ve given me in my life.
I’m going to start by thanking you for loving me enough to come to earth
and die so we can live together forever.
Amen
