WORLD ECONOMIC MELTDOWN:
BEST TIME TO TURN EVERY BIG DREAM TO REALITY

What would happen if I took that childlike enthusiasm and the enormity of those childhood dreams and applied them to my purpose, vision and mission statements of today?

If I told you that one of my dreams and goals carries every bit of the enormity of my childhood, you may think I’m crazy, but I do and someday it will be a reality. There is a Martin Luther King, Jr. quote in The Secret: “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step.” I have no idea how I will make that vision a reality, I just know I will.

Hello Judy :-)

Your last post in "my" Article thread led me back here to re-read your Article... and now I've seen it a bit different than before! :-) Maybe I could see your feelings better than I did before; after all I had the same ones and the same "worries" :-)

I'll only notice one thing, so common to both of us: we were both starting from remembering us as kids!

Kids are the most free (if FREE supports comparison LOL) in what ever they think! Their imagination is REALLY INFINIT, with NO LIMITS! They can dream, and DARE TO DO SO, about everything and anything!

It would be great if anyone could keep this KID inside their soul and heart! :-)

Just a few thought I felt the urge (LOL) to share with you!

With friendship,
Anamaria

Sam I do believe that this was your best choice for Article of Virtue. Judy is much loved by this community and should be very proud indeed.

Judy, keep on shining as in our forum, Candle of Love.

Candle of Love, Candle of Light

Candle of Love

You lit up the sky

Candle of Light

With a lullaby

A star was lit

in the Eastern sky that night

And still in our hearts

and over our land

The Candle of love

shines bright.

Our praises ring

of Jesus’ birth

long ago in a land of dark

A Candle of Love was lit

For all the earth.

Jesus was born and

A candle in the Heavens above

Cast its warm glow

Over the Manger below

Heavenly voices joined in praise

earthly choirs Hallelujahs raise

Celebrations throughout the world

exhilaration of most high

The birth of our King and our Lord!

Candle of Love,

One in the hand

Spread your warmth

Throughout the land.

Candle of Light

One in the heart,

Shine bright on

this Holy Night.

The greatest birthday of all the world;

A candle burns for Thee

Kings, queens, saints, and lords

None of these do our hearts belong

As heavenly voices sing in praise;

And earthly choirs join in song,

to Jesus –a Wonder to amaze.

Candle of Love,

candle of light

Forever burn so bright.

Held in the heart.

Candle of Light

Held in the hand.

Shine bright tonight.

Our Praises ring

Our voices sing

Candle of Light

Shine bright tonight.

Burn, burn! Your light so white

Candle of Love, Candle of light

Signify our love for Jesus

On this Holy Night.

***

Please come post your own candle and keep them burning!!

Merry Christmas, '

Sara

Hello Sam ...

Wow ... since yesterday ... and now that I am on your friends list, I am discovering a whole load of articles of virtue by deserving people I didn't know existed!!!

Thank you

Dear Judy ...

I would have been here sooner but ... ummm ... oops ... I only found out about Sam and his wonderful forum in the eary hours of this morning.

Thank you for this wonderfully inspiring article. What can I say that hasn't been said already by everyone else who made it here before me?

Life is made up of one day at a time, of the present moment that consctructs the next present moment defined as the future. It seems like you have made an art form out of constructing moments.

I am honoured to know you and thank you for sharing.

Best wishes

Venerina

Hi Sam and Joyce,

I heard you talking about me (lol). Writing here in Sam's forum, and all over Adland, has been a wonderful experience for me. Sam, I give you accolades for believing in me enough to ask me to write an article, and the very first one, no less, for your Aritcles of Virtue.

Joyce your article is a life story. It is fluid, well written and inspirational. It should be publised in it's long form, and I am not kidding. You are and have been courageous, God loving and giving of yourself, and there are many more than me and those here ar ALP who should read it and get the inspiration and strength that it spews out.

Sam, this forum has got to be the absolute BEST in any community, in any social network and you are a genious and wonderful leader!!

Gratitude??? You bet - I have lots of it. I am so blessed to have friend like you and Joyce and Terry, and Neil and Joe, and others all over the world. It just doesn't get any better than this!!

Blessings!

Judy

Thanks!

Judy

Hello Joyce,

You must be taking delight in usually hitting the sensitive fibre of the kernel. The pick of Judy as our first writer and her superlative article of Big Dream has helped in spewing out the hidden light within us all and as you put it, drowse "that little (big fear) feeling that everybody else is better" than ourselves.

You keep blessing us with your wisdom.
Thank you!

Re-reading this whole post (again-Judy, you keep me coming back to find the treasures I missed in the last reading) Sam's reply hit on something very important.
You never know what a tiny bit of encouragemment given in love can spawn!
Most of the featured writers here seem to share that little (big fear) feeling that everybody else is better.
We have been like kids exploring the outer limits and holding hands to steady each other so no one falls down and gets lost.
God has to be smiling and pointing with pride chuckling "Look what my kids are doing! Aren't they just something!"
This is not unlike mimicking the Creators' actions.
One day it wasn't-then it was!

Hi Sharon,

Another fellow article writer!! Sam is a genious - isn't he?

I wasn't aware that this was the most viewed of the article. That's intersting!! Numbers are not something I watch that carefully, I need people like you to point that stuff out. What I do know though, the quality of all of them is above anything and I think Sam should get it all together in book form.

And, I bet there is more to come!!!

Thanks,Sharon. I will have to take a trip over to your our article now!!

Blessings!!!

Judy
