"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

I wanted to share this with y'all today.....Great story, we all need Friends!!

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd."
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives." He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends. He said yes.
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!" He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship.
Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak. Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends... I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met.
He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.
Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.

There is no beginning or end.. Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.

Apples on Trees

Women are like apples on trees. 

The best ones are at the top of the tree. 

Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are

afraid of falling and getting hurt. 

Instead, they just get the rotten

apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy....... 

So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality,

they're amazing. 

They just have to wait for the right man to come along,

the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Share this with other women who are good apples, even those who have

already been picked!

And... Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up

to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something

acceptable to have dinner with.

What Do You Crave!!!!

We all want to be loved and cherished. I think the best thing to remember is that you want to be someone's one and only choice not an option!! Find things that make you smile, laugh and happy. For me it is traveling, cooking, hiking, spending time with friends.

I crave the touch of a man on the small of my back as he guides me along. I crave a man who will always open my door for me. I crave a man who will hold my hand and kiss me in public. I crave a man who will laugh with me. I crave a man who wants to talk with me. I crave a man who wants to spend time with me. I crave a man who gets me and appreciates me. I crave a man who will just let me be me. I crave a man who will dance with me!!

What do you CRAVE!!
