I am a Christian I am a Christian (by Maya Angelou) When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin." I'm whispering "I was lost, now I'm found and forgiven." When I say..."I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need CHRIST to be my guide. When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need HIS strength to carry on. When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess. When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it. When I say..."I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain, I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name. When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow.**********_________________************Audrey Hepburn's Beauty Tips** For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
