Dont forget to thank god

I woke up this morning and knew that today,

The sun would not be shining

and the clouds would be gray.


As I stepped outside,

Rain fell upon my head.

My car wouldn't start

so I walked to school instead.



I forgot all of my assignments

I failed all of my tests.

I dropped my head in disgust

and asked the Lord for one request.


'Lord, why is it that

things won't go my way?'

He gently replied,

'Dear child it is because

you didn't thank me yesterday.


I woke you up and enabled

you to see the sun again.

I gave you shelter,

protected your family, and even let

you make a new friend.


I blessed you far

greater than I ever had before.

But you were too busy

to thank me once more.


You didn't feel sick

because I maintained your health.

You had money in your pocket

because I maintained your wealth.


You had shoes on you feet

and clothes to wear, too.

You had plenty of food to eat,

and what did you do?


You ignored me and went

about your tasks.

But when you wanted something

you never hesitated to ask.

I was there when you needed me

and that wasn't too long ago.

But when things started going your way,

it was me you did not know.


As if that weren't enough,

I provided our favorite luxuries.

This was something I didn't have

to do-they weren't even necessities.


And when it was time to get on your

knees and show your gratitude,

You decided that after such a

fulfilling day, you weren't in the mood.


So I decided to

give you just a little test.

To show you how it would feel

to stop being blessed.'


I began to realize what

the Lord was saying.

And when I got home, I fell

to my knees and started praying.


He said, 'My child, you have

learned and you know I do forgive.

But remember to remember this day

as long as you shall live.


I love filling your life with joy,

and your pain I'll alleviate it.

But just a simple thank you

would show how much you

appreciate it.'

Beautiful Prayer

I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own! ,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.

I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.


I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.


May God Bless You,
"To the world you might be one person, but to one
person you just might be the world"

"Even the word 'IMPOSSIBLE' says 'I M POSSIBLE' "

The Most Powerful 3 Words Phrases

The following three-word phrases can enrich every relationship. These are just three little But Very Powerful words:

I'll Be There

If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take a sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase " I'll be there. " Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When we're truly present for other people, important things happen to them & us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally and spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.

I Miss You

Perhaps more marriages could be saved & strengthened if couples simply & sincerely say to each other "I miss you." This powerful affirmation tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired & loved. Consider how ecstatic you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call from your spouse in the middle of your workday, just to say "I miss you."

I Respect You / I Trust You

Respect and trust is another way of showing love. Its conveys the feeling that another person is a true equal. If you talk to your children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds & become close friends. This applies to all interpersonal relationships

Maybe You're Right

This phrase is highly effective in diffusing an argument and restoring frayed emotions. The flip side to "maybe you're right" is the humility of admitting maybe "I'm wrong". Let's face it. When you have a heated argument with someone, all you do is cement the other person's point of view. They, or you, will not change their stance and you run the risk of seriously damaging the relationship between you. Saying "maybe you're right" can open the door to further explore the subject, in which you may then have the opportunity to get your view across in a more rational manner.

Please Forgive Me

Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.

I Thank You

Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the companionship of good, close friends are those who don't take daily courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude of gratitude.

Count On Me

A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship; it is the emotional glue that bonds people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true friends. When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating "you can count on me."

Let Me Help

The best of friends see a need and try to fill it. When they spot a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they pitch in and help.

I Understand You

People become closer and enjoy each other more if they feel the other person accepts and understands them. Letting your spouse know in so many little ways that you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing relationship. This applies to any relationship.

Go For It

We are all unique individuals. Don't try to get your friends to conform to your ideals. Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how weird they seem to you. Everyone has dreams, dreams that are unique to that person only. Support and encourage your friends to follow their dreams. Tell them to "go for it."

I Love You

Perhaps the most important three words that you can say. Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person's deepest emotional needs. The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Your spouse, your children, your friends and you, all need to hear those three little words "I love you."

Mother



Mother is the sweetest and
Most delicate of all.
She knows more of paradise
Than angels can recall.

She's not only beautiful
But passionately young,
Playful as a kid, yet wise
As one who has lived long.

Her love is like the rush of life,
A bubbling, laughing spring
That runs through all like liquid light
And makes the mountains sing.

And makes the meadows turn to flower
And trees to choicest fruit.
She is at once the field and bower
In which our hearts take root.

She is at once the sea and shore,
Our freedom and our past.
With her we launch our daring ships
Yet keep the things that last.
