Quotes from Movies

When you love someone, And you love them with your heart, It never disappears When you're apart. And when you love someone And you've done all you can do, You set them free, And if that love was true.... When you love someone It will all come back to you....from the movie "Forget Paris"

You cannot find true love Where it does not truly exist And you cannot hide it where it truly does .. from the movie "kissing a fool"

Will you love me for the rest of my life? No, I'll love you for the rest of mine...From the movie "Phenomenon"

Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen. - from the "Can't Hardly Wait"

He was like an angel, you know? I never knew life could be like that. He was the one thing I followed through in my life, the one thing I didn't give up on. I was good at loving him. - Caroline: "The Untamed Heart"

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. - "Ten Things I Hate About You"

Embrace the Cross by Steve Green

I am crucified with Christ
Therefore I no longer live
Jesus Christ now lives in me

Embrace the cross
Where Jesus suffered
Though it will cost
All you claim as yours
Your sacrifice will seem small
Beside the treasure
Eternity can't measure
What Jesus holds in store

Embrace the love
The cross requires
Cling to the one
Whose heart knew every pain

Receive from Jesus
Fountains of compassion
Only He can fashion
Your heart to move as His

Oh, wondrous cross our desires rest in you
Lord Jesus make us bolder
To face with courage the shame and disgrace
You bore upon Your shoulder

Embrace the life
That comes from dying
Come trace the steps
The Savior walked for you
An empty tomb
Concludes Golgotha's sorrow
Endure then till tomorrow
Your cross of suffering
Embrace the cross
Embrace the cross
The cross of Jesus

No matter what happens in life, we should always hold on the two main ropes of life- HOPE and FAITH. Problems, trials and hardships may there, we feel like we’re losing hope and chances but we should always believe that we have our Savior... and that is GOD. He’s willing to guide us in our way to step and to search for every answer that we want to partake in our daily life.

The Presence Of You

There’s a change in the season
and a smell in the air
these are days that we vow
anytime,.....anywhere.....
and each smile is precious
and the touches, too few
like the moments I’m blessed
by the presence of you...

There are apples and pumpkins
and leaves on the ground
and the taste of October
is the sweetest I’ve found
and our hearts are on fire
and all fairy tales....., true
like the moments I’m blessed
by the presence of you...

Soon the winter is coming
and the trees will be bare
and we’ll turn up our collars
to the chill in the air
but I carry the treasures
that I need to pull through
they’re the moments I’m blessed
by the presence of you..

when the world’s cold and lonely
you’re the one I run to....

Chasing Love!

By Dr. Roger A. Rhoades
Year after year people flock to the movies to see the latest romantic comedy. Why? Do you suppose it’s because of the chase? And because every new romantic comedy offers a slightly different variation on the chase? Don’t we love to see one of both characters chase each other through difficult situations until finally they end up with each other? We leave the theater with smiles in our hearts.

We are weaned on fairy tales -- knights in armor slaying dragons so they may woo the fair damsels, princes searching for their princesses. No wonder even little boys and girls enjoy chasing one another because according to the stories, there’s the perfect payoff; once caught, they live happily ever after.

I believe this message, "And they lived happily ever after" is so deeply embedded, that it is the downfall of many otherwise great relationships and even more marriages. We celebrate the act of catching, fostering the myth that it is the nature of man to be the chaser and the woman’s role to be caught, and that once caught, the chase remains history. I believe it is the responsibility of all who want to experience a growing relationship that they develop, maintain, and improve their respective abilities to chase. I see the chase as the most underrated activity in human romance.

Every year couples look at each other and say things like, "I love you, but I am not in love with you any more!" When they first came together, the last thing on their minds was the idea that one day they would no longer be in love with each other. They wanted to spend the rest of their lives with someone they loved and who loved them, not someone who would leave them. For too many, they bought into the message that marriage is the grand prize and once you’ve won the prize; you set it somewhere and admire what you accomplished.

The romance fades as the husband and wife neglect their lover selves. They become worker bees, parents, cab drivers, lawn mowers, and worse. They no longer make time to create the chase and savor the excitement it brings. They’re too caught up in keeping up with the Joneses. They no longer look at each other as great prizes worthy of chasing but as shoulder-to-the-wheel, noses-to-the-grindstone teammates in the struggle of life. Their conversations shift from sweet sharings of how they feel about one another to whose turn it is to change the diapers. Dealing exclusively with one mundane situation after another bleeds all the love out of a great relationship. The main way to transfuse lifeblood back into the marriage is to redevelop the chase.

To get the best picture of the chase, go back to your kindergarten years to where the purest form of the chase exists. Think about two children who are interested in each other. They don’t go up to each other and say, "I’m very interested in you and would like to get to know you better." Instead they get to know each other by playing games, and one of the most exciting is, "Tag." This game allows them to chase after each other with great energy and excitement. They laugh and yell as they dart from place to place looking for the opportunity to catch the other person. When he tags her, he declares, "You’re It!" and when she tags him, she announces, "You’re It!" Unlike a marriage that has lost its zest, the children’s game of Tag goes on and on, each getting the chance to chase and to be caught over and over again. Think about how the children look forward to playing the game day after day with the same people. This game seems never to tire them out. There is something about catching someone and being caught by someone that makes the game always exciting.

As adults we need to apply to marriage what we learned from playing tag. We need to be willing to be "It," to start out being the chaser, not waiting for the other person to start the game. We need to be willing to be caught but not in a fast or easy way because that means the game lasts only a short while; and when you’re having fun, you want it to last as long as possible. No one likes a person who never wants to play; it’s not possible to get to know more and more about anyone who prefers to play by himself and never wants to be part of the chase. If a person feels like he has to be "It" all the time, he’ll lose interest and stop playing. And we all know that when the game stops, so does the fun.
