What encouragement to write on a birthday card for a son who is having problems?

It's my son's birthday tomorrow. He dropped out of university after 2 years (caused by a bad relationship with a girlfriend), did some temporary work whilst waiting to do a course which started this September, but has now failed one of the modules and will be asked to leave the course on his birthday. To get on this last course, he was one of 30 successful applicants from a total of 16,000. He is reliable, doesn't do drugs or drink excessively, and has never been in trouble. What words of encouragement can I write on his birthday card?

Everyone is given a bad deal of cards every once in a while. It's what you learn from the hand that makes you a better person. Tell him to keep his head high and assure him things will get better.
Reply:"I am so proud of the man that you have become"
Reply:Here is to leaving behind your past, and starting new beginnings.

And thought there will be times when you want to give up, you have to keep trying. Tell yourself that tomorrow will be a better day, and believe it. There will be times that you are put in situations that you aren't quite ready for, and sometimes it will break you confidence. Keep pushing, do your best, and don't let anyone or anything get in the way of you dreams. You have come so far, and I am so proud of you. You are everything mother could ask for, and it makes me happy to think of all the possibilities for your future. Please, do not get discouraged from one fall, get back up and try again!











COMES THE DAWN





After awhile you learn the subtle difference


between holding a hand and chaining a soul.


And you learn that love doesn't mean security,


And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts


And presents aren't promises.


And you begin to accept your defeats with you head up and your eyes open.


With the grace of maturity, not the grief of a child.


And you learn to build all your roads on


Today because tommorow's ground is too uncertain for plans,


And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.


After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.


So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,


Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.


And you learn that you really can endure...


That you really are strong


And that you really do have worth.


And you learn and learn and learn ....


With every goodbye you learn
Reply:" I love you, son. I will always be there for you. I am your mum and best friend. Whatever you do, or don't do I will not judge. To me you are and always will be special. There's no need to prove anything to me because you are a part of me and I know you for who you are not what you are. Who are you? You are a special son who has given me so much love and happiness from when you were born. It is a gift you will share with others as you travel through life's ups and downs".

When your heart if full of grief PRAY and you will see how God sends comfort


When you feel your faith fading PRAY and the prayer will make you stronger


When You are perplexed PRAY and you will see how things get clearer


When you feel alone in life's trial PRAY and you will see how God is at your side always


When you think all your options are closing in PRAY and you will see how God opens new doors for you.


WHen your steps are full of shadows PRAY and see how Things will be iluminated.


When you feel full of anger and resentment PRAY and you will see how things disipate as if magic.


When you feel you are loosing your grip PRAY and you will see how God helps you stay on your feet.


PRAY all the time, everytime you can and just wait because things will in time, get better.
