Motivational: Memorial Day Tribute

Memorial Day Tribute

Written by Steven Boaze

Memorial Day is their day, is'nt it? It supposed to be repparttar

day a grateful nation pauses to quietly thank repparttar 123148

more than one million men and women who have died in military service to their country since repparttar 123149

revolutionary war.

Or is it repparttar 123150 day repparttar 123151 beach resorts kick into high gear for repparttar 123152 summer season, repparttar 123153 day repparttar 123154 strand is covered by fish-belly white people basting themselves in coconut oil, repparttar 123155 day repparttar 123156 off season rates end and repparttar 123157 weekend you can't get in a seaside seafood restaurant with anything less than a hour wait.

Or is it one of repparttar 123158 biggest shopping center sales day of repparttar 123159 year, a day when hunting for a parking space is repparttar 123160 prime sport for repparttar 123161 holiday stay-at homers?

Or is it repparttar 123162 weekend when more people will kill themselves on repparttar 123163 highways than any other weekend and highway patrol troopers work overtime picking up repparttar 123164 pieces?

I think repparttar 123165 men and women who died for us would understand what we do with their day. I hope they would, because if they wouldn't, if they would have insisted that it be a somber, respectful day of remembrance, then we have blown it and dishonored their sacrifice.

I knew some of those who died and repparttar 123166 guys I knew would have understood.

They liked a sunny beach and a cold beer and a hot babe in a black bikini too. They would have enjoyed packing repparttar 123167 kids, repparttar 123168 inflatable rafts, repparttar 123169 coolers, and repparttar 123170 suntan lotion in repparttar 123171 car and heading for repparttar 123172 lake. They would have enjoyed staying at home and cutting repparttar 123173 grass and getting together with some friends and cooking some steaks on repparttar 123174 grill too.

But they didn't get repparttar 123175 chance. They blew up in repparttar 123176 marine barracks in beirut and died in repparttar 123177 oily waters of repparttar 123178 persian gulf. They caught theirs at repparttar 123179 airstrip in grenada in repparttar 123180 little war everyone laughed at. They bought repparttar 123181 farm in repparttar 123182 drang valley and on heartbreak ridge, phu tai and at repparttar 123183 hue. they froze at repparttar 123184 chosin reservoir and were shot at repparttar 123185 pusan perimeter. Guadal canal. They died in repparttar 123186 ice and snow of repparttar 123187 bulge and repparttar 123188 vosges mountains. They were at repparttar 123189 somme and san juan hill and at gettysburg and at cerro gordo and at valley forge.

The Law of Abundance

Written by Judi Singleton

The Law of Abundance This universe that we live in is a place of abundance. Look around you and you will see abundance everywhere. I planted a couple little cherry trees last year, this year they are bent over with cherries. The Grass in my yard grows faster than I can keep up with it. It grows thick in places I don't want it and little fruit trees are coming up all over repparttar

lawn. We too are abundant creatures we have been created with a multitude of ideas and talents to carry them out. There is a spiritual law that we must give to receive. It is in giving that things come back to us. So whatever you would increase in your life first give away. Yet when many people try to manifest prosperity, they don't achieve their goals. What happens? Now we can't give away what we do not have. So say you want to give love you must first love yourself. This sounds like a paradox it is not. We must be repparttar 123147

very thing we would give so to give love we must be loved and loving. This law works in reverse for us too. Say you are fearful that is just what you will give away and what you will receive back from repparttar 123148

universe. So we want to monitor our thoughts and see what we are sending out.

If we are going to manifest true prosperity, we must first bring our consciousness into attunement with repparttar 123149 Higher Power. When we are aligned with our Higher Power we are at peace knowing that all our needs will be taken care of in Divine Order. When we reach this point we then are at a place to ask for guidance in repparttar 123150 silence. It then becomes easier to brings specific goals into manifestation. It is not uncommon for us to change our minds several times as we learn to listen to our Higher Power and begin to ask for our highest good and find it is not what we started out desiring. We create our own reality. We attract those things in our life (money, relationships, employment) that we focus on. I wish I could tell you that it is as simple as stating an affirmation, but no affirmation is going to work if your mind hought is negating repparttar 123151 positive.
