Pounds Away

Do you want to lose those extra pounds
and keep them off?

Are you really trying?
Have you become discouraged?
Do you want to know the secret?

Perhaps the answer lies in the lapping of the waves?

The water in Lake Superior, Ontario (Canada),

never seems to stop moving,

even on the quietest day.

There is a continual lapping of the waves.

Sometimes the waves touch the shore very gently;

other times they pound relentlessly on the rocks.

Bit by bit, the rocks are reduced in size.

Three Central Factors in Weight Reduction

Determination!
You can do it!

Let nature take its natural course!
Do what is right for you!

Persistence!
Never give up!

Exercise and diet are key aspects of weight loss and management.

Speak Gently

Speak Gently

For some women,

life seems to be an ongoing battle.

It is like being locked into a situation

where a person is trying to swim upstream

against a formidable current in a raging river,

where one is never really able to climb

onto the safety of the rocks,

or when one can never reach

that ever elusive, distant shore.

Each time that one of these women

appears to be safe and secure,

another terrifying reality arises for her.

Why should this be allowed?

Who will help these women?

Can anyone intervene on their behalf?

Is there even one voice

who will speak gently with Love?

Walk in the Light

Walk in the light of truth and of deed;
Walk as a leader, planting His seed.
Walk in the joy of purest desire;
Holiest passion, to that, aspire.
Walk in the peace that only God gives,
Telling of Jesus, that He still lives.
Walk in the grace of His presence here,
Knowing each moment, freedom from fear.
Walk in His Love while doing His will;
Work for His pleasure, your life to fill.
