BLACK MAN WALKS INTO A CAFE EARLY ONE MORNING AND NOTICES HE'S THE ONLY ONE THERE

AS HE SAT DOWN HE NOTICED A WHITE MAN SAT BEHIND HIM, THE WHITE MAN SAID "COLOURED PEOPLE ARN'T ALLOWED IN HERE" .

THE BLACK MAN REPLIED...

"WHEN I WAS BORN I WAS BLACK

WHEN I GREW UP I WAS BLACK

WHEN I'M SICK I'M BLACK

WHEN I GO IN THE SUN I'M BLACK

WHEN I'M COLD I'M BLACK

AND WHEN I DIE I'M BLACK.

BUT YOU SIR...

WHEN YOU WERE BORN YOU WERE PINK

WHEN YOUR'E SICK YOUR'E GREEN

WHEN YOU STAY IN THE SUN YOUR'E RED

WHEN YOUR'E COLD YOU TURN BLUE

AND WHEN YOU DIE YOU TURN "PURPLE."

"AND YET YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CALL ME COLOURED"

THE BLACK MAN TURNED BACK AROUND AND THE WHITE MAN WALKED AWAY.

Changing the world

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town.
I couldn't change the town and as an older man,I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realise the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realise that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family.
My family and I could have made an impact on our town.
Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

Wanted:

More to improve and fewer to disapprove,
More doers and fewer talkers,
More to say it can be done
And fewer to say it's impossible.
More to inspire others
And fewer to throw cold water on them.
More to get into the thick of things
And fewer to sit on the sidelines.
More to point out what's right
And fewer to show what's wrong.
More to light a candle
And fewer to curse the darkness.

Crazy about you

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If he had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen.
He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose your heart.
What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem,
not to mention that Friday at Calvary.
Face it, He's crazy about you.

Nothing quite as wonderful

There is nothing like warm clothes just out of the dryer
or true love or first love or secret admirers.
There is nothing like best friends, a child's giggle or a good cry.
There is nothing like letters written to you or a sad goodbye.
There is nothing like puppy kisses,
and there is nothing like the morning sun.
There is nothing like a summer vacation or reflecting on a job well done.
There is nothing quite as great as this life we live,
and there's nothing quite as special as the love we give.
But most importantly, there will never be anything as beautiful as you,
for you are my God who loves me through and through.

Smile

Smile!
It costs nothing, but creates much.
It enriches those who recieve it
without impoverishing those who give it.
It happens in a flash,
and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None are so rich they can get along without it,
and none are so poor but are richer for its benefits.
It creates happiness in the home,
fosters goodwill in a business,
and is the countersign of friends.
It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged,
sunshine to the sad and natures antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen,
for it is something that is no earthly good for anyone until it is given away!
And if you should meet someone too tired or sick or depressed to give you a smile,
make sure you leave them one of yours.
For no one needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give.
A smile is always welcome
for it opens doors and hearts as if it were a key.
Smile!

Gotcha!

A soldier who was a Christian made it his practice to conclude everyday with bible reading and prayer. As his fellow soldiers gathered in the barrack and retired for the night, he would kneel by his bunk and offer prayers to the Lord.
The other soldiers saw this and began to mock and harrass him. But one night the abuse went beyond verbal assault. As the soldier bowed before his Lord in prayer, one antagonist threw his boot through the dark and hit him in the face. The other soldiers snickered and jeered, hoping for a fight.
But there was no retaliation.
The next morning when the taunting soldier awoke, he was startled to discover something at the foot of his bed. For all to see, there were his boots, returned and polished.
