Soulful Thoughts of Rachel

I think life is like a web of experiences.
You get the chance to love and be loved.
You get to work and play.
You get to discover and grow.

What the heart gives aways is never gone …
It is kept in the hearts of others.

~ROBIN ST. JOHN~

I’m grateful for the kindness shown to me by others.
I value every little gesture.
Small acts of kindness is a blessing I’m thankful for.

Finding the right person to spend the rest of your life with is a great blessing from God.
Make it a point to SHARE good times and BEAR the hard times together.
Have a balanced life … learn to LAUGH, LIVE, TRUST and FORGIVE.
As long as you are TOGETHER side by side, you can enjoy the beauty if life.

I was never tired of this life
and it’s gonna matter
if I fall down twice, ‘coz I
know you won’t let me
reach the ground.

I wrote this line on my journal a long time ago. I was fixing my things earlier and saw my old journal where this is written. Unfortunately, the name of the author is not indicated.

I feel this way towards my family. They inspire me and give me the strength I need to face each day.

Learn from yesterday,
live for today, hope for
tomorrow.

We should live each day to the fullest. Life is not perfect, we have our share of ups and downs. We should make it a point to learn from our mistakes and be better individuals in the process. No matter how challenging some days can be, we should never lose hope. Try to think positive and think that there is a good future waiting ahead.

If you have built castles in the sky,
your work need not be lost; that is
where they should be. Now put
foundations under them.

Make your dreams and aspirations come true by doing something about them. When you make a goal, make sure you make plans. Work on those plans to achieve the goal you set.

A happy heart makes the face cheerful.

~ Proverbs 15:13 NIV

I believe in this line. I just saw my dearest friend several days ago and I could tell just by looking at her face that she is very happy. She told me that after weeks of crying and carrying a heavy heart because of her break up with her boyfriend, they have finally settled their problems. They have decided to make a fresh start and give their relationship another chance. I hope that this time, my friend can hold on to the happiness that she truly deserves.

Take rest; a field
that has rested gives
a bountiful crop.

It felt good to get away for the weekend. We had a wonderful time as a family. I wish we can do it more often. I’m looking forward to summer and hope we can have another fun vacation… hopefully at a nice beach.

Time is a very precious gift
of God; so precious that it’s
only given to us moment
by moment.~Amelia Barr~

I cherish each day I spend with my family. I’m thankful for every moment I have with them. Time can go by so quickly and I would like to spend as much time as possible with people dear to me.

Kind words are jewels that live in the heart and soul and remain as blessed memories years after they have been spoken. ~ MARVEA JOHNSON

I feel wonderful whenever I receive kind remarks. Sometimes a few kind words can mean so much to a person.  I’m grateful to people who go out of their way to say a few kind words to others.  There are days when you feel a little down and it’s amazing how simple  and kind remarks can do to uplift your spirit.
