DOING WHAT'S RIGHT FOR US

We Must Do What's

Right For Us

The great thing to learn about life is,

first, not to do what you don't want

to do, and, second, to do what you

do want to do.

-Margaret Anderson

I belong to a group at the Flickr site. Each week they have a challenge. Well, I got confuse as to the due date so I ended up keeping this card. We were to make one card and the challenge theme was 

TELEPHONE BOOK

This is the card I made for the challenge

I SAW TWO CLOUDS AT MORNING

I saw two clouds at morning,

Tinged with the rising sun,

And in the dawn they floated on,

And mingled into one:

I thought that morning clound was blest,

It moved so sweetly to the west.

I saw two summer currents

Flow smoothly to their meeting,

And join their course, with silent force,

In peace each other greeting:

Calm was their course through banks of green,

While dimpling eddies played between.

Such be your gentle motion,

Till life's last pulse shall beat;

Like summer's beam, and summer's stream,

Float on, in joy, to meet

A calmer sea, where storms shall cease-

A purer sky, where all is peace.

John Gardiner Brainard

FAITH FOR TOMORROW

"Tomorrow, friend, will be another day,"

A seer wise of old was won't to say

To him who came at eventide, in grief,

Because the day had borne no fruitful sheaf.

O Lord of Life, that each of us might learn

From vain todays and yesterdays to turn,

To face the future with a hope newborn

That what we hope for cometh with the morn!

Thomas Curtis Clark

The Little Book Challenge Swap

This is the last tow pages in the book. 

 

My favorites the page on the left is about reading being a book warm. The little girl I drew then the page on the right 2 vintage clip art with wording underneath about friends.

HAPPINESS

Happiness is like a crystal,

Fair and exquisite and clear,

Broken in a million pieces,

Shattered, scattered far and near.

Now and then along life's pathway,

Lo! some shining fragments fall;

But there are so many pieces

No one ever finds them all.

You may find a bit of beauty,

Or an honest share of wealth,

While another just beside you

Gathers honor, love or health.

Vain to choose or grasp unduly,

Broken is the perfect ball;

And there are so many pieces

No one ever finds them all.

Yet the wise as on they journey

Treasure every fragment clear,

Fit them as they may together,

Imaging the shattered sphere,

Learning ever to be thankful,

Though their share of it is small;

For it has so many pieces

No one ever finds them all

Priscilla Leonard

MY CHURCH

My Church has but one temple

Wide as the world is wide,

Set with a million stars,

Where a million hearts abide.

My church has no creed to bar

A single brother man

But says, "come thou and worship"

To every one who can.

My church has no roof nor walls,

Nor floors save the beautiful sod-

For fear, I would seem to limit

The love of the illimitable God.

The Little Book Challenge Swap

These two pages were fun. I decided that I needed to do something different so I made a open pocket so to speak using the Vegas theme. When you open the card up you will see all sorts of gaming machines and so much more.

 

The page on the right is a pocket with a tag in it that has a picture of a key. Hence the title Key to my heart.

The Little Book Challenge Swap

This page is funny. I don't know why but I got to thinking about years past when I was in High School it was such a big thing to have somebody streaking through the school grounds only in their shoes n socks. Darn! I never got to see it there sure was a buzz about it though. Since I could not get it out of my mind I decided to add it in the pages of this book.

The Little Book Challenge Swap

As this challenge went on I discovered that I needed to make things up for the pages. I did not want to just glue different pieces of paper together I wanted maybe some kind of a theme on the pages.

 

As you can see here I had a poem about friends that someone gave me that I put with this picture then on the right side a picture of Ma n Dad I made up a letter you can see part of an envelope with a stamp on it.

The Little Book Challenge Swap

Here are a couple more pages what made this book a ch

we were to only use the what ever we received from others

I did not think it would be such a challenge but it turn into one.

Little Book Challenge Swap

I have been working on some pages for the Little Book Challenge Swap over at ATCsforALL the next few days I will be sharing you pages of this book that I made. 

Here is the front and back pages.

LEARN TO WAIT

Learn to wait-life's hardest lesson

Conned, perchance, through blinding trears;

While the heart throbs sadly echo

To the tread of passing years.

Learn to wait-hope's slow fruition;

Faint not, though the way seems long;

there is joy in each condition;

Hearts through suffering may grow strong.

Thus a soul untouched by sorrow

Aims not at a hight state;

Joy seeks not a brighter morrow;

Only sad hearts learn to wait.
