WE have so much to be THANKFUL

Today upon a bus,i saw a girl with golden hair& wished,i was as fair,
When suddenly she rose to leave,i saw her hooble down the aisle,
she had one leg & wore a crutch,but at she passed,a smile,
YA ALLAH,forgive me,when i whine,i have 2 legs,the world is mine,

I stopped to buy some candy,the lad who sold it had such charm,
If i were late,it,d,do no harm,I talkted, with him he seemed so glad,
& as i left,he said to me,“I thank you,you’ve been so kind,
it’s nice to talk with folks like you,You see”he said”"i,am blind”
YA ALLAH, forgive me when i wine,i have 2 eyes,the world is mine,

Later while a walking down the street,I saw a child with eyes of blue,
He stood & watched the other’s play,He did not know what to do,
I stopped a moment & then I said,”Why don’t You join the others,dear”?
He looked a head without the word,
YA ALLAH,forgive me when i whine,i have 2 ears,the world is mine.

Life ROCKS again......

what is LOVE?

A student asks a teacher, “What is love?”

The teacher said, “in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggestwheat and come back.
But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.”

The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat,but he wonders….may be there is a bigger one later.Then he saw another bigger one… but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him.Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he starts to realise that the wheat is not asbig as the previous one he saw, he knew he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, “…this is love… you keep looking for better ones,but when later you realise, you have already missed the person".

10 Rules for a Good Day

1. TODAY I WILL NOT STRIKE BACK:

If someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is unkind...
I will not respond in a like manner.

2. TODAY I WILL ASK GOD TO BLESS MY "ENEMY":

If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, I will
quietly ask God to bless that individual. I understand the "enemy"
could be a family member, neighbor, co-worker, or a stranger.

3. TODAY I WILL BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I SAY:

I will carefully choose and guard my words being certain that I do
not spread gossip.

4. TODAY I WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE:

I will find ways to help share the burden of another person.

5. TODAY I WILL FORGIVE:

I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way.

6. TODAY I WILL DO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE,
BUT I WILL NOT DO IT SECRETLY:

I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another.

7. TODAY I WILL TREAT OTHERS THE WAY I WISH TO BE
TREATED:

I will practice the golden rule - "Do unto others as I would have
them do unto me" - with everyone I encounter.

8. TODAY I WILL RAISE THE SPIRITS OF SOMEONE I
DISCOURAGED:

My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the
difference to someone who is wrestling life.

9. TODAY I WILL NUTURE MY BODY:

I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank God for my
body.

10. TODAY I WILL GROW SPIRITUALLY:

I will spend a little more time in prayer today: I will begin reading
something spiritual or inspirational today; I will find a quiet place
(at some point during the day) and listen to God's voice!

DREAMSsss come TRUE

Thank U ....................GOD

YOU ARE.......

You are strong...when you take your grief and teach it to smile.

You are brave...when you overcome your fear and help others to do the same.

You are happy...when you see a flower and are thankful for the blessing.

You are loving...when your own pain does not blind you to the pain of others.

You are wise...when you know the limits of your wisdom.

You are true...when you admit there are times you fool yourself.

You are alive...when tomorrow's hope means more to you than yesterday's mistake.

You are growing...when you know what you are but not what you will become.

You are free...when you are in control of yourself and do not wish to control others.

You are honorable...when you find your honor is to honor others.

You are generous...when you can take as sweetly as you can give.

You are humble...when you do not know how humble you are.

You are thoughtful...when you see me just as I am and treat me just as you are.

You are merciful...when you forgive in others the faults you condemn in yourself.

You are beautiful...when you don't need a mirror to tell you.

You are rich...when you never need more than what you have.

You are you...when you are at peace with who you are not.

RULES FOR BEING HAPPY

God didn't promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow,
sun without rain,
but he did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears,and light for the way.

Disappointments are like road bumps,
they slow you down a bit
but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards.
Don't stay on the bump too long.

Move on!
When you feel down because you didn't get what you want,
just sit tight and be happy,
because God is thinking ofsomething better to give you.

When something happens to you,
good or bad,
consider what it means.
There's a purpose to life's events
to teach you how to laugh moreor not to cry as hard.

You can't make someone love you,
all you can do is be someone who can be loved --
the rest is up to the other personto realize your worth.

The measure of love is when you love without measures.
In life there are very rare chances that you'll meet
the person you love who loves you in return.
So once you have it don't ever let go --
the chance might never come your way again.

It's better to lose your pride to the one you love,
than to lose the one you love because of pride.
We spend so much time looking for the right person to love
or finding fault with those we already love,
when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.

When you truly care for someone,
you don't look for faults,
you don't look for answers,
you don't look for mistakes.
Instead, you fight the mistakes,
you accept the faults and you overlook excuses.

Never abandon an old friend.
You will never find one who can take his or her place.
Friendship is like wine.
It gets better as it grows older.

Remember the five simple rules to being happy:
Free your heart of hatred.
Free your mind from worries.
Live simply.
Give more.
Expect less.

No one can go back and make a brand new start.
Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

a guided tour of HEAVEN

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. Wewalked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.

My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, 'Thisis the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayerare received.'

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so manyangels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets andscraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the secondsection. The angel then said to me, 'This is the Packaging andDelivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked forareprocessed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them.I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels workinghard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested andwere being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at thedoor of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angelwas seated there, idly doing nothing. 'This is the AcknowledgmentSection,' my angel friend quietly admitted to me.

He seemed embarrassed 'How is it that there is no work going onhere?' I asked.'So sad,' the angel sighed. 'After people receive the blessings thatthey asked for, very few send back acknowledgments.'

'How does one acknowledge God's blessings?' I asked.
'Simple,' the angel answered. Just say, 'Thank you, Lord.'
'What blessings should they acknowledge?' I asked.

'If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roofoverhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in adish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy

And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% inthe world who has that opportunity.'

'If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... youare more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day 'If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness ofimprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ...you are ahead of 700 million people in the world.'

'If you can attend a place of worship without the fear of harassment,arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than,three billion people in the world .'

'If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are veryrare.'If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you'reunique to all those in doubt and despair.
'OK, what now? How can I start?

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing inthat someone is thinking of you as very special and you are moreblessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read atall.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass thisalong to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

Acknowledge Dept.: 'Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability toshare this message and for giving me so many wonderful people to share it with.

Life Management Lessons

A little while ago, I was feeling terribly overwhelmed. So much to do... so little time, at least that's the way things seemed. I can remember crying out to God and asking Him to help me. After praying, He gave me some very practical answers... three of which I'd like to share with you:

1.) Get Rid of Distractions
Are you tied up with people and things that just keep you perpetually off track and out of balance? If so, you have to get that in check. If you're honest, you'll admit that some individuals consume far too much of your time. Whenever they're around, you end up trying to accommodate them while losing precious moments in the process. When this happens, you need to re-prioritize and re-order your life.

2.) Say No
Why is it so hard for us to say no? Well, for many people, it's the need to please and placate, that keeps them in a constant cycle of doing things they can't or don't want to do, just to keep others happy. Have you ever struggled with that?

Remember, just because demands are made on your time, energy, and other resources, doesn't mean you have to give in. This lesson can be hard to learn, but it's necessary. Certainly, you can give "a pleasant no"... but by all means, don't say yes to things that will end up creating unnecessary hardships for you.

"...just because demands are made on your time, energy, and other resources, doesn't mean you have to give in..."

3.) Pace Yourself
Hard work and perseverance is necessary to excel in life, but you can't expect things to happen overnight. Everything won't come together in a day... you have to be patient. Recognize that things will manifest when the time is right... and not a day sooner. No amount of toiling can alter God's timing. Struggling, trying to force things to come together will only lead to disappointment and frustration. So, pace yourself. Take things one day at a time, and trust God to do what you cannot. Most assuredly, He will!

कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती

लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती.

नन्हीं चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती है,
चढ़ती दीवारों पर, सौ बार फिसलती है.
मन का विश्वास रगों में साहस भरता है,
चढ़कर गिरना, गिरकर चढ़ना न अखरता है.
आख़िर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती.

डुबकियां सिंधु में गोताखोर लगाता है,
जा जा कर खाली हाथ लौटकर आता है.
मिलते नहीं सहज ही मोती गहरे पानी में,
बढ़ता दुगना उत्साह इसी हैरानी में.
मुट्ठी उसकी खाली हर बार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती.

असफलता एक चुनौती है, इसे स्वीकार करो,
क्या कमी रह गई, देखो और सुधार करो.
जब तक न सफल हो, नींद चैन को त्यागो तुम,
संघर्श का मैदान छोड़ कर मत भागो तुम.
कुछ किये बिना ही जय जय कार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती
