DOES ANYONE LIKE QUOTES AS MUCH AS I DO???...AND, IF SO PLEASE POST SOME OF YOUR FAVORITES...

Irma--That is so funny!

Two friends of mine--brother and sister--told the story of how they w re in the same Sunday school class and everyone in the class had to go around in turn to say a bible verse by heart.

The sister (she was younger and, well, you know little sisters) always tried to go first so she could deliver that two word verse: "JESUS WEPT".

And after she did, she would always stick her tongue out at him because she knew she beat him at it.

Yeah, I love that verse.

Irma...I like these when I was a little and a big girl..

Blessed is the man that walked not in the council of the ungodly! [To a little girl as I was...this one made me "tad bit scary!" ... Not for me, but for THAT MAN!]

The Lord is my shepard, I shall not want...[ I often, wondered about this one when I was little, "I shall not want what?" Is what I was thinking]

Thou shall not covenant any thing that is thy neighbors...{ This threw me too, I didN'T know what cover..nate was and if my neighbors OWNED one...]

LOL!

Earl.... you are so funny.... I can almost imagine GOD looking down on you smiling!! no LAUGHING..... Did Jesus tell his Disciples to FEED HIS SHEEP?
So let's spread the good news.....

any more favorites?

I can tell you this my favorite BOOK in the BIBLE is the BOOK OF RUTH...... I love that story.... I even cry when I read it now... Ruth really loved her mother-in-law... just thinking about it makes feel..........

Let me find Hannah Me.... I want to read her favorite......

This is my favorite Bible verse:

"Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 (NIV)

And this is my favorite from the Quran:
"Call on your Lord with humility and in private: for God loveth not those who trespass beyond bounds. Do no mischief on the earth, after it hath been set in order, but call on Him with fear and longing (in your hearts): for the Mercy of God is (always) near to those who do good."

- Surah 7 Verses 55 - 56

Both these quotes are very inspiring and show that no matter what, we can always ask Allah for forgiveness and that he is always near.

Corinthians hold a special place in my heart.... that was my wedding prayer... Siebra thanks for the reminder.........

Thank you all!!!

These are some beautiful and memorable quotes.

Wisdom to live by!!!

There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us until it doesn't do any of us to take about the rest of us. ..

Irma, I just so happen to have that quote hanging on a wall in my cubicle at work!!!

Also, I like this one from the book Acts Of Faith by Iyanla Vanzant:

"My tongue is my sword of power, I shall use it wisely!"

This was really fun.... Thanks Irma......

"Look... me and the McDonald's people got this little misunderstanding. See, they're McDonald's... I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds."-(Coming To America)

"Let me tell you the story of Right Hand, Left Hand. It's a tale of good and evil. Hate: it was with this hand that Cane iced his brother. Love: these five fingers, they go straight to the soul of man. The right hand: the hand of love. The story of life is this: static. One hand is always fighting the other hand, and the left hand is kicking much ass. I mean, it looks like the right hand, Love, is finished. But hold on, stop the presses, the right hand is coming back. Yeah, he got the left hand on the ropes, now, that's right. Ooh, it's a devastating right and Hate is hurt, he's down. Left-Hand Hate KOed by Love."-(Do The Right Thing)

"You know, I was watching the Animal Planet channel and they say that when a coyote is trapped, it will eat its own foot off to get out of the trap. You want some hot sauce? In your case it wouldn't be a coyote, it would be an elephant. A big old giraffe." (Diary Of A Mad Black Woman)

"You win some, you lose some. But you live, you live to fight another day." (Friday)

2- Who left you in difficult times
3- Who put you in difficult times.."
