THE FINAL ANALYSIS

Something I believe in and hold on to... :-)

1. People are often unreasonable, illogical & self-centred - Forgive them anyway.

2. If you are kind, people may accuse you of having selfish, ulterior motivs - Be kind anyway.

3. If you are successful, you may win some false friends & some true enemies - Succeed anyway.

4. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow - Do good anyway.

5. Give the world the best you have, & it may never be enough - Give the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final anaysis, it is between them & God.. It was NEVER between you & them anyway...

LOVE SPELT AS "T-I-M-E"


I like what 1 Corinthians 13:3b from the message Bible says,
"No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love."

LIFE is all about LOVE &...
"the best expression of LOVE is TIME!"

Time is our most precious gift because we only have a set of amount of it. We can make more money, but we can't make more time.

When we give someone our time, we are giving them a portion of our life that we'll never get back. Our time is our life.
That is why the greatest gift we can give someone is our time! It is NOT enough to just say relationships are important; we must prove it by investing time in them. Relationships take time & effort, & the best way to spell love is
"T-I-M-E."

The essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves, and nothing can take the place of that.

Whenever we give our time, we are making a sacrifice, and a sacrifice is the essence of love!

We can give without loving, but we cannot love without giving.
Love means giving up-yielding my preferences, comfort, goals, money, energy, or time for the benefit of someone else.

The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is NOW
