The entire Tina Love Foundation Remembers and Pays Tribute to Mr. C. I. D. Clark

It is surreal, I miss you my father. Tina's Daddy (September 24th to June 6th)

Beware of the high cost of low living.

Life consists of:

The tender teens;

The teachable twenties;

The tireless thirties;

The fiery forties;

The forceful fifties;

The serious sixties;

The sacred seventies;

The aching eighties and

The nostalgic nineties.

Knowledge and wisdom, far from being one,

Have oft times no connection.

Knowledge dwells in the heads replete with thoughts of other men:

Wisdom in minds attentive to their own.

Knowledge is proud that he had learned so much.

Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.

He who knows not, and knows not that 

He knows not, is a fool, shun him.

H who knows not, but knows that he

Knows not, is a child, teach him.

He who knows, but knows not that he 

Knows, is asleep, wake him up.

But he who knows, and knows that he 

Knows, is wise, follow him.

A dad is a mender of toys, a leader of boys.

He's a changer of fuses, a healer of bruises.

He's a mover of couches, a healer of ouches.

He's a hanger of screens, a counselor of teens.

He's a pounder of nails, a teller of tales.

He's a dryer of dishes, a fulfiller of wishes.

Bless him, oh Lord.

"Maybe" is another form of deceit.

"Maybe" really means "no".

"Maybe" avoids commitment without confrontation

By saying maybe we build a lingering expectation on

Which we don't intend to deliver.

Money is the means by which you can buy:

A bed but not sleep;

Books but not brains;

Medicine but not health;

A house but not a home;

Amusement but not happiness.

People are a lot like bones. There are four kinds:

1. The wishbone people:

They hope for, they long for, they wish for, and sigh;

They want things to come, but aren't willing to try.

2. The funnybone people:

They laugh, grin and gaggle, smile, winkle the eye'

If work is made funny, they'll give it a try.

3. The jawbone people:

They scold, jaw and sputter, they froth, nag and cry;

They're long on the talk, but they are short on the try.

4. The backbone people:

They pitch in and do it, they never say die;

They come forth victorious, for they know how to try.

The stomach is the only part of man, which can be fully satisfied.

The yearning of man's brain for new knowledge and experience 

And for more pleasant and comfortable surroundings never can be

Completely met. It is an appetite, which cannot be appeased.

When someone smokes in my presence, his vice is not private. 

His foul emanations find their way into my lungs and bloodstream.

His stench becomes my stench and clings to me. And he raises

My chance of heart disease and lung; lets put it this way:

Your freedom to smoke ends where my lungs begin. 

A gossip is a person who talks to me about others.

A bore is a person who talks to me about himself.

A brilliant conversationalist is a person who talks to me about myself and himself.

Tact is the ability:

To be brief, politely;

To be aggressive, smilingly;

To be emphatic, pleasantly;

To be positive, diplomatically;

To be right, graciously.

Thoughts should be tested before they are transmitted.

If our thoughts taste unkind, critical, or unfair, we should refuse to release them into the dangerous world of words.

Wealth is purely metallic.

The wealthy man has four metallic attributes:

Gold in his palm;

Silver on his tongue;

Brass in his face;

Iron in his heart!

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing,

Wind braces up, snow is exhilarating;

There is no such thing as bad weather, 

Only different kinds of weather.

Wisdom is knowing what to do;

Skill is knowing how to do it;

Virtue is doing it.

Common sense in an uncommon degree

Is what the world calls wisdom.

If no money in your pocket, blame your hands.

Hope is the earliest and most indispensable virtue inherent in the

state of being alive. -Erik Erikson

Hope is the thing with feathers. I've heard it in the chilliest land, yet, never in extremity. It asked a crumb 0f me. -Emily Dickson

Today is not the ghost of yesterday past, it is the ghost of tomorrow present. Light tomorrow with today. -E.B.Browning

Humility comes before honour. Prov. 18:12

A good laugh makes any interview or conversation so much better. -Barbara Walters

May grace and peace be multiplied to you. -2 Peter 1:2

You can't measure life by the number of breaths you take in. Its just not fair because sometimes breathing hurts, you need to measure life by the number of moments that you have, and will take your breath away. -CEK

One reason people never attempt new things is their fear of failure. The biggest failure of all is the person that never tries. -Dr. Larry Kimsey

We should give  as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation; for there's no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers. 

-Seneca

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him 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 from 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. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, 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, p...

August Theme

Our thematic issues for this month is #NextGeneration We urge us in love to pick one of the issues under our theme for the month and help share messages, videos, pictures and matters for discussion and action plans under any of the issues. Let's dig deep into the concept of preparing the next generation of leaders, professionals, members of the society among others, which comes from God Himself right from creation and see how it improves acts of charity and social development. Humanity has survived since creation because intentional efforts have been made to prepare for generations to generations. Families birth those who'd constitute the next generation. If we don't prepare the next generation, we'd have a retrogressive situation which is highly preventable. #NextGeneration #August TLF 💚
