Dear Friend,

Have you ever had an impossible dream come true? Sometimes as we get older, it becomes harder to dream. The good news is that we don't have to stop believing and our hopes should never have to die.

It is always better to reach your last breath still fighting for your dream and reaching for the brightest star even if others think you should give up.

If we look at the people we make statues of, they stood out because they continued believing against all odds and did all they could to keep their dream alive. Just imagine a whole people with this kind of faith! What wonders would happen to the world around them!

Congratulations to all 2009 graduates! May all your dreams come true!

Now faith is the assurance that what we hope for will come about and the certainty that what we cannot see exists.~Hebrews 11:1

How to Make a Dreambook


What's a dream book you say? It's basically a scrapbook to help you visualize your dreams. There is a story of a hunchback prince who became straight and tall by seeing a straight and tall statue of himself every day. The more you picture yourself living the life you have always dreamed brings that dream all the more closer to reality!

Steps:

1. Make a list of your dreams (be sure your dreams are good in every way).
2. Find a picture of you that you like. The picture should have good contrast and your face should be bright (not dark). Cut out the head.
3. Photocopy the picture into as many copies as you like.
4. Find old magazines, newspapers, art paper, ribbons, scrapbook material and find pictures and words that have relation to your dreams.
5. Write down bible verses that empower you to achieve your dreams like "Nothing is impossible with God" from Luke 1:37 or "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" from Philippians 4:13. Choose bright colored paper for these.
6. Piece all of these materials together so you have a visual reminder that dreams do come true and look at your dream book often.

Note: Your dreams won't just materialize because of your dreambook but it should motivate and inspire you to take baby steps towards those dreams!

In the Season of Lent
Lent means "Spring" ("lente" in Dutch), a time to reflect, pray and renew our love for God! For only 40 days in our year, we get the chance to focus on our inner life. How is our spirit growing? Are we becoming more kind, more generous? more loving?

A good practice during this season is to make each day count. Do something kind each day of Lent. It may be as simple as giving a glass of water to someone or saying a short prayer for someone in need. This will be our offering to our Lord who so generously gave His life so that death or sin may never come between our friendship with Him. Offer this simple act each day before retiring at night so you can converse a little with the Lord.

Reseller's Corner
Starting a business?

We at Papemelroti have experienced a lot through the 40+ years we have been in business. If you are just starting a business, it will benefit you to do a lot of research first so you know what to expect. Many businesses start because of a need. Someone needed something and couldn't find it in the market so they developed that product and created a niche only they could fill! This type of business starts off well as it will have no competitors!

Other businesses start through an enjoyable hobby. Customers know when the product or service has "heart" and if the business really "cares" for the consumer. If the proprietor enjoys his hobby-turned-business, it will surely reflect and be felt by his customers.

No doubt you will encounter many challenges when you start a business but with a lot of hard work, perseverance (and of course prayers!), you will be successful!

Don't forget to share what you've learned in the retail business!
