This message is the message of Jesus, who said that whatever you desire, whatever you want to overcome, whatever you want to do: 

"According to your Faith be it unto you."

Dear Lord, help me spread your fragrance where I go.  Flood my soul with your spirit and life.  Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of yours. 

Shine through me, and be in me, so that every soul I come in contact with may feel your presence in my soul.  Let them look up and see no longer me, but only you.

~IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES~

If I knew it would be the last time I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you walk out that door, I would give you a hug and kiss, and call you back for just one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would tape each word and action, and play them back throughout my days.

If I knew it would be the last time, I would spare an extra minute or two, to stop and say, "I Love You," instead of assuming you know I do.

So just in case tomorrow never comes, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you, and I hope we never will forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young and old alike, and today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if your waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?  For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day.

That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss, and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, that you love them very much, and you'll always hold them dear.

Take time to say, "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me, " "Thank you" or "It's ok".  And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

Ask and it shall be given unto you; Seek and you shall find; Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.      (Matthew 7:7)
