Words on Marble - A collection of Quotes - page 2

Man is like a pencil in the hand of God. Therefore, why all the wahala. The killings, greed, hatred, corruption, avarice, suspicions etc. The owner of the universe can switch off now and every system will collapse. 
Man! rethink and digest the fact that we are just on a space trip. Try to appreciate your Creator!!

Benjamin Uyanwune, Swimming Pool Maker

"Men are so worried that marriage will leave them with “only one woman” for the rest of their lives. That’s simply not true. I fell in love with a 19-year-old rock climber, married a 20-year-old animal lover, started a family with a 24-year-old mother, then built a farm with a 25-year-old homemaker, and today I’m married to a 27-year-old woman of wisdom. If your mind is healthy, you’ll never get tired of “one woman”. You’ll actually become overwhelmed with how many beautiful versions of her you get to marry over the years. Don’t say no to marriage, say yes and keep saying yes until the day you die."
Dale Partridge

Once he survives the night, he is a MAN

By Utchay Lugar - Ghana
12th March, 2017

*Horrific Story*

A father takes his son into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him .

Perhaps even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and trees and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him. He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm. We, too, are never alone. Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us. When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him.

Moral of the story:
Just because you can't see God, doesn't mean He is not there."For we walk by faith, not just by sight".

Have a great walk with God today and always. Smiling face with smiling eyes.


Christmas Quotes !

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~Norman Vincent Peale

Christmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you're home.

~Carol Nelson

He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.

~Roy L. Smith
Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind.
~Mary Ellen Chase

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.

~Charles Dickens
Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year - and yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority.
~W.J. Cameron

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis


Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!

 ~Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836


”FOR THE MARRIED WOMEN AND THOSE INTENDING TO GET MARRIED, LISTEN AND TAKE HEED!!

Excerpts from Pastor Chris’ Teaching! 
~Christ Embassy.Org Online Missions


Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
Husband does not mean the male partner in a marriage, husband means master. The reason for most problems in Christian marriages is the fact that women refute God’s definition of marriage and form theirs. 

They believe they are equal partners. If most women had their fathers bold enough to talk to them, they will be very successful in their marriage and they will be very happy people. Most women have never been taught by their parents, their fathers particularly and that’s their biggest problem because they don’t know who a man is, they think he is another woman. 

In marriage, you have the man who is the head of that union and because he’s the head of that union, its important to understand him. You think he’s the one that needs to understand his wife and that is where you are wrong. 
He will eventually but you have to know the type of man you are married to and his needs.When you say you are marrying a man, you are coming under his authority. 
The Bible says, the man is the head of the woman (1 Corinthians 11:3) so when you marry him you come under his authority, you are not authority sharers even though you are both heirs to the kingdom of God.When you decide not to subject yourself to that authority, you are a rebel and God is not going to accept what you are doing because you are not functioning correctly. 

Why did God make the woman? Making woman was not God’s original plan because after God created Adam and before He made Eve, He said in Genesis 1:31 “Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good”. 
God made woman because of man so woman was not His original idea. This is reality.Genesis 2:18a “And the Lord God said “for it is not good for a man to be alone..” The Bible didn’t say “lonely” but “alone”. 


There is a big difference. Man wasn’t lonely but alone. Genesis 2:18b “…I will make him an help meet”. He didn’t say a partner or a supervisor or a special advisor or someone to tell him what to do.
I will make him someone to help him. God gave man a responsibility so woman was made to help man achieve that responsibility. If this is understood in every home then you won’t have problems.

The paradox of our time in history

A Message by George Carlin:
Sent by DIEN GODWIN - Nigeria

"Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate".  - Dien Godwin

George Carlin
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

MOTHERS
Mothers have great big aprons To hide from the world our flaws.
They kiss and scold when we do wrong Teaching compliance of laws.

If I'm forced to camp, just outside your gate I will still be grateful and not, "hesitate."

SELF SERVING FOOLS
No matter how far in your marriage you've gone The highway of love has its rules.
The excitement of sex, trust and affection Never tolerates self-serving fools.

We have robbed their eggs and plucked their plumage And yet they continue to sing.

FAITH
Our confidence and trust in a higher power Helps guide us through every moment and hour.
Fidelity to ones promise and observance of law Lets our Lord know we heed his call.

HISTORY
Some have asked why must we study history; It just encourages us to live in the past.
When we forget history we repeat its mistake As the outcome of humanity is cast.

There's heavenly splendor wherever we look As earth is warmed by the rays of the sun.

The voices of love can be heard across the land And that lilies and roses are a sacred thing.

Another day has come and gone Not to return until the dawn.

EYES OF LOVE
Eyes that twinkle, I distrust For they are the distant stars.

MY FAVORITE POET
My favorite poet is our father of love Who was first to know us before birth.
His poetry prolongs every thing we love As his deliverance gives life its worth.

INTEGRITY
What Satan has planned for our harm Integrity will transform to good.
Adhering to morals gives us peace Teaching us to respond, as we should.

America is the birthday cake of earth As the ants march from every direction.

Angry beings in a revolving cage With no sense of passion or love.

AMERICAN SOLDIER
Our soldiers line up to be remembered As the best of the best at their job.
They wish to be needed and depended on To save all we love from the mob.

They risk their life and limb for liberty Standing firm against evil unwilling to break.
To be part of something greater than themselves They are willing to sacrifice whatever it will take.

MYSTICAL JOURNEY
After death who will miss us When to heaven we have gone?
Will family cry our name in tears As in their hearts we live on?

WAR
When war breaks out, boundaries change And all who die are a token Of the
rage that must run it's course Before words of peace are spoken.

LOVE
Love, indeed, descends from heaven, Like a shooting star across the sky.
Love sometimes stirs the dust Till tears fall free from the eye.

FAME
Those who wish to be, not forgotten, Just days after they're dead and gone

The poet Horace once expressed That roses were worth more than grain
Seed fills a hungry man's stomach Where roses feed his heart and brain.

Love and hate are but two sides of life's golden coin So be ready for both no matter whom you join.

SORROW
Sorrow is better than laughter For by grieving, we're improved.
Blessed be all who morn Till from sadness they're removed

Wars were waged where brave men died As patriots fought side by side.

WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE
The wise listen to increase their learning Where the scorners of wisdom close their mind.
The hearts of the prudent gather knowledge For a soul without grace becomes confined.

WHY?
The biggest question of life is "why?" The wrath of man is always in season
Why is our world the way it is Like a tragic poem without rhyme or reason.

THE MOON
From the very first time man took refused And peered out at the moon in the night.
Acts of love, lust, hate and human sorrow Have been committed in the presence of its light.

THE ARMOR OF GOD
Eagerly plotting to disrupt God's works Evil swallows up souls like the shifting sand.
The armour of God is our divine protection Shielding every child, woman, and man.

POLITICIANS
Most of the time as a politician stands up Along with the truth, their brain sits down.
Promising anything and everything to anyone While posing to the public, to be on common ground.

LOVE CONSUMES ALL
Love consumes all physical functions Hearing, taste, touch, thought and smell.
It can heal, destroy, weaken or bond Those caught in its presence and spell.

PASSION AND LOVE
Thank heaven for passion and love Blessings from God to man.

SHOULD TOMORROW START WITHOUT ME?
Should tomorrow start without me Be proud I choose to serve
Our faith and our patriotism Earn the freedom we deserve.

SATISFACTION
No one finds satisfaction from serving themselves Contentment takes place,
by our unselfish concern. The more we repent and regret our wrongs
The more we are able to retain what we learn.

Thankful
By A. R. Gronos

I'm thankful for all good with which
I've been blessed throughout life.
For hardships, and for heartaches, too,
For failures, trials and strife.
I'm thankful for each little prayer
Someone has said for me;
For loving thoughts, for friendliness,
For all good will I see.
My thanks for hands, with which I could
Scribe someone on life's way;
For all small deeds of kindness
I'm allowed to do each day.
I'm thankful for all happiness,
Each long hour of deep sorrow;
God thus in his great mercy gives
More wisdom for tomorrow.

REGRETS
Make the most of your regrets; never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh.
