Borrowed

Borrow what you need 


and leave the rest.

If you believe that to barrow 


means you get to keep it, 


then you have a problem.

If you borrow it, you must return it.

The positive lessons of living life on God’s terms are to borrow good lessons from those

who have gone before you and to share the lessons with those who want what you have.

"Worry is the interest paid by those who borrow trouble."     ~ George Washington

Borrowed, taken, or learned the hard way, life's lessons are of no value to you

if they are not shared and freely given to others.

Actions, not words, convey the lessons of life.

"That's what an army is -- a mob; 
they don't fight with courage that's born in them, 
but with courage that's borrowed from their mass,
and from their officers."                                                         ~ Mark Twain - 1835-1910

Have the courage to do the next right thing and be a part of the army that fights for the love

that is the will of your Higher Power, the Officer of Every Day.

Do not keep a list of those things you have loaned,

but never forget those from whom you have borrowed.

Always borrow from a pessimist, he never expects anything back.

Virtues are not like garden tools which you can borrow,

you will eventually have to possess some of your own.

Love, friendship, generosity, kindness, faith, hope, and joy are virtues you must have

 as a foundation to build a life that is worth sharing.

Courage, discipline, honesty, willingness, self reliance, emotional boundaries and self esteem

are learned values that are meant to be shared with family and friends.

If you believe that your dysfunctional family taught you the wrong values, get a new family.

If you have friends who are as crazy as you are, have fun.

It is hard to play on the see-saw if you are all alone.

Put balance in your life, have friends who know how to share, one's who will not roll off

of the bottom of the see-saw while you are dangling from the high end.

Friendship can never be bought, borrowed or sold, it is a gift to be cherished,

 a treasure beyond compare.

Today must not borrow from tomorrow.

Be kind, borrowing or loaning is not required.

Be loving, borrowing or loaning is not required.

Be the person God wants you to be, you are living on His borrowed time.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
