A SMILE

A smile costs nothing, but gives much.
It enriches those who give it.
It only takes but a moment,
But the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.


No one is so rich or mighty
That he can get along without it.
And no one is so poor
That he cannot be made richer by it.

A smile creates happiness in the home,
Promotes good will in business,
And is the cornerstone of friendship.

It can perk up the weary,
Bring cheer to the discouraged,
Sunshine to the sad,
And is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought,
Begged, borrowed or stolen;
For it is something that is of no value to anyone
Until it is given away.

When people are too tired to give you a smile,
Give them one of yours.
No one needs a smile so much
As he who has none to give.


~ Author Unknown
 
 
"REMEMBER, IF YOU SEE SOMEONE
WITHOUT A SMILE,
GIVE THEM ONE OF YOURS!!!"

Happy Easter!


Low in the grave He lay,
Jesus my Savior,
Waiting the coming day,
Jesus my Lord!
 
Vainly they watch His bed,
Jesus my Savior;
Vainly they seal the dead,
Jesus my Lord!
Death cannot keep its Prey,
Jesus my Savior;
He tore the bars away,
Jesus my Lord!
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes,
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
 
Robert Lowry, 1874
Mark 16:6

WHAT IS LOVE?

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud. It does not dishonor others,
It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV)
Real love is not possessive or exclusive. When we love someone, we want everyone to love them - we want them to live in the glow of loving and being loved by everyone. If you find the previous sentence challenging, please remember that true love is not sex or lust, and focus on the vital importance of keeping those concepts separate.
True love is generous. It is strengthened, rather than weakened, by adversity. In times of trouble, real love shines and sustains both those who love and those who are loved.
True love is never conditional. One can never say, "I'll love you, if you love me." That would describe some desperate bargain, but nothing approaching real love could be a part of it. True love is not diminished by circumstances. Can you imagine loving someone less because they broke a leg? Got an infection? Lost their job? A love that depends upon the talents and capabilities of the other is conditional, and not real love.
What is Love?
What is the Nature of True Love?
- by Jonathan Lockwood Huie

What is Love? Love is a feeling of affection toward someone or something. We can love our comfortable old bathrobe, we can love God, we can love all of humanity, and we can love our Grandmother. All true love is wonderful, but let's focus here on the feeling of love by one specific person for another specific person. Even so, our love for our spouse is very different from our love for our child, our parent, our friend, or our love for the homeless person we pass a dollar bill to at the corner.

You know you love someone when you know you want them to be happy,
even if their happiness means that you are not a part of it.
- Anonymous

Real love is never a selfish emotion. If you want something from someone - especially if that something is sex - what you are feeling is not love. The wonderful quote above provides an infallible test for love. True love is about wanting happiness for the person you love - and not about seeking happiness for yourself. Fortunately, in most cases our own loving presence is the greatest gift we can give to a person we love. Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing we would choose never to see that person again if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.

Bring Man’s Best Friend Along On Your Next Motorcycle Ride

Ride All Day…Play All Night!


We all know that dogs love when the windows are rolled down and they can feel the wind blowing in their faces, so how could they not love that feeling of freedom we all get while riding a motorcycle? But, since not all dogs take to riding on motorcycles with their people, it’s best to start slow…after all, the most important thing is to keep your four-legged companion safe. Most Harley riders put side-cars on their bikes for their canine buddies since it’s the safest and smartest way to bring them along (not to mention, it’s the only way that we would recommend bring your pet with you for a ride!). As you introduce the experience to Rover, be sure to watch his behavior, if riding seems to stress your pooch out, try to ease him into the experience by starting off with brief rides around the block and then gradually increase to longer rides. If that doesn’t seem to work, then don’t force it; some pets just weren’t meant to ride the open road! That doesn’t mean we love them any less! Even if they can’t join you on your ride, at least you know they’ll be there to greet you when you get home from an exhilarating day of riding!

But, if your dog does take to the bike and the open road, you definitely want to make sure that he/she looks the part! Check out this Bad to the Bone Bandana, this will guarantee that your pet is Harley-ready and the two of you can ride off into the sunset together…in style, of course!

And, if you think we’re crazy for talking about taking your furry companion along with you on your next ride, well, think again! Check out these awesome Harley riders and their Harley-riding pets:
