We
as the chooser have the right to choose.
BUT
Once the choice is chosen,
The choice controls the chooser.
One day a small boy was trying to lift a heavy stone, but he couldn’t
budge it. His father, passing by, stopped to watch his efforts. Finally,
he said to his son: "Are you using all your strength?" "Yes,
I am," the boy cried, exasperated "No," the father said
calmly, "you’re not. You haven’t asked me to help you."

Yesterday - Today - Tomorrow
Yesterday I met a stranger...
Today this stranger is my friend.
Had I not taken the time to say hello,
Or return a smile,
Or shake a hand,
Or listen,
I would not have known this person.
Yesterday would have turned into today
And our chance meeting would be gone.
Yesterday I hugged someone very dear to me.
Today they are gone...
And tomorrow will not bring them back.
Wouldn't it be nice
If we all knew tomorrow would be here?
But this is not to be, so take the time TODAY
To give a hug,
A smile,
An "I love you."
JUST FOR TODAY,
...smile at a stranger
...listen to someone's heart
...drop a coin where a child can find it
...learn something new, then teach it to someone
...tell someone you're thinking of them
...hug a loved one
...don't hold a grudge
...don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry"
...look a child in the eye and tell them how great they are
...don't kill that spider in your house, he's just lost so show him the
way out
...look beyond the face of a person into their heart
...make a promise, and keep it
...call someone, for no other reason than to just say "hi"
...show kindness to an animal
..stand up for what you believe in
...smell the rain, feel the breeze, listen to the wind
...use all your senses to their fullest
...cherish all your TODAYS
Today you were thought about by me
Let someone know they were thought about today

The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an
urgent problem with one of the main computers. He dialed the employees
home phone number and was greeted with a child's whispered, "Hello?"
Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to a youngster
the boss asked, "Is your Daddy home?"
"Yes", whispered the small voice.
"May I talk with him?" the man asked. To the surprise of the
boss, the small voice whispered, "No."
Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?"
"Yes", came the answer. "May I talk with her?" Again
the small voice whispered, "no".
Knowing that it was not likely that a young child would be left home alone,
the boss decided he would just leave a message with the person who should
be there watching over the child. "Is there any one there besides
you?" the boss asked the child.
"Yes" whispered the child, "a policeman".
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked
"May I speak with the policeman"?
"No, he's busy", whispered the child.
"Busy doing what?", asked the boss. "Talking to Daddy and
Mommy and the fireman", came the whispered answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter
through the ear piece on the phone the boss asked, "What is that
noise?"
"A hello-copper", answered the whispering voice.
"What's going on there?", asked the boss, now alarmed.
In an awed whispering voice the child answered, "The search team
just landed the hello-copper"
Alarmed, concerned and more than just a little frustrated the boss asked,
"Why are they there?"
Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled giggle:
"They're looking for me!"
