~Dance Like No One's Watching~
We convince ourselves that life
will be better after we get married,
have a baby, then another.
Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough
and we'll be more content when they are.
After that we're frustrated that we
have teenagers to deal with,
we will certainly be happy
when they are out of that stage.
We tell ourselves that our life will be complete
when our spouse gets his or her act together,
when we get a nicer car,
are able to go on a nice vacation,
when we retire.
The truth is there's no better time
to be happy than right now.
If not now, when?
Your life will always be filled with challenges.
It's best to admit this to yourself
and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes
from Alfred D Souza.
He said, "For a long time it had seemed
to me that life was about to begin -real life.
But there was always some obstacle in the way,
something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business,
time still to be served,
a debt to be paid. Then life would begin.
At last it dawned on me that these
obstacles were my life."
This perspective has helped me to see
that there is no way to happiness.
Happiness is the way,
so, treasure every moment that you have.
And treasure it more because you shared it
with someone special,
special enough to spend your time...
and remember that time waits for no one.
So stop waiting until you finish school,
until you go back to school,
until you lose ten pounds,
until you gain ten pounds,
until you have kids,
until your kids leave the house,
until you start work,
until you retire,
until you get married,
until you get divorced,
until Friday night,
until Sunday morning,
until you get a new car or home,
until your car or home is paid off,
until spring, until summer,
until fall, until winter,
until you are off welfare,
until the first or fifteenth,
until your song comes on,
until you've had a drink,
until you've sobered up,
until you die, until you are born again
to decide that there is no better time
than right now to be happy...
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
So, Work like you don't need money.
Love like you've never been hurt and
Dance Like no one's watching.

THE EXTRAORDINARY POWER OF A SELF-HEALING BODY
The number of injuries a typical human being can endure is astounding. This became visible, one day, years ago, when Christopher was doing a seminar to make a point about God's design of innate healing within the human body. Here's his story:
Several hundred men and women were gathered in a large room. Two or three thousand strips of red cloth were prepared and we asked each person to fasten or tie a red strip over any part of his or her body that had been wounded in some way – a cut, a broken bone, a knife wound, a scar, or some other body part that was hurt and then healed.
Many men and women needed ten or more strips. For some people, the entire right side of the body, head to ankle, was brilliant red; on others, red almost covered the head, for some, both arms and legs. When the exercise was over, the room was a sea of red.
I asked the question: “Are you healed now?” Most said that they had entirely healed.
God designed the body to be self-renewing. We damage it and it repairs itself in a most miraculous way. The body is constantly regenerating and building itself anew. Medical doctors and scientists tell us that every seven years, each cell in your body and mind has replaced itself with a new one.
This is the way God designed you. There is not one cell in your body or mind that is over seven years of age.
If you or someone you know is sick right now, this is a very reassuring message of hope. The hurt in the body, will come to pass. It is passing out of you right now.
Rest assured in the certainty of the healing power of God at work around the clock, seven days a week, nonstop, in you and in those you love. With God, all things are new again
“ When angels come down from the heavens, they may recruit us to perform good deeds and help others in need… Our acts of kindness--no matter how insignificant they may seem--spring from the divine place within us all, the place where angels live. ”
- Peggy S. Bresnick,"Angels Messenger of Grace"
