of Hope WHAT NOW! Even as you take the steps through the door of your new diagnosis, you must listen to God. You may not have the answers to the questions that torment you about your family, your suffering, and your fear of the temporary darkness ahead. But if you listen, He will speak--in some way, through someone, on some page or in some event. and if you listen for Him, you will know it is God, and you can go on. |

.....Steel Magnolias Song..... I Hope You Dance "If you get the chance to sit it out or dance, DANCE"
.....Steel Magnolias' Creed..... STAND TALL Stand tall wounded lady You've withstood the forces That challenge. Walk proudly this day; The sacrifice you paid Has carried you through. Smile with silent confidence; You've conquered the doubts That haunt the fainthearted. The wings beneath your feet Have launched you upward To new heights. CELEBRATE YOUR VICTORY Used by permission of Coach, Thomas Gerald Washington Poem originally written in honor of the 1998, Moore, Oklahoma, Freshman Football Team winning and securing the Holland Bowl Poem has been ammended for Steel Magnolias Here's to the Woman who knows where she is going and will keep on until she gets there; who knows not only what she wants from life, but what she has to offer in return. Here's to the woman who is loyal to family and friends, who expects no more from others than she is willing to give; the woman who is confident in her beliefs and yet willing to listen to what others have to say. Here's to the Woman who guides and inspires not by quoting other's philosophies but by living her own good example; who accepts both victories and disappointments with the same grace; and rises above life's challenges and move on. Here's to the Woman who gives the gift of her thoughtfulness, who shows her caring with a word of support, her understanding with a smile; a woman who brings joy to others.
