Thanksgiving


1Thessalonians 5:18
There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend one day that, "if she could only see the world, she will marry him" so one day someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything including her boyfriend. The boyfriend asked her, "now that u can see the world, will u marry me?" the girl looked at her boyfriend and noticed that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. she hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at him for the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left her in tears. And days later he sent a message saying, "take good care of your eyes my dear, because they were mine"!

This is how the human brain often works when our status change. Only a very few remember how life was and who was always by their side in the most painful situations. Life is a gift.
Before you say any unkind word think of that person you are hurting.
Before you complain about the taste of your food think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your spouse think of someone who is crying to God for a companion.
Before you complain about life think of someone who died earlier than he expected.
Before you complain about your children think of people who desires children but are barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house that someone didn't clean or sweep think of people living in the street.
Before whining about the distance you drive think of people who walk that same distance.
And wen you are tired of your job think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wish they had your job.
In every situation you find yourself, learn to give thanks for no condition is permanent. Have a blessed Wednesday ahead!

One day all the employees reached the office and saw a big advice written on the door. Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. You are invited to join the funeral. In the beginning, they got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they got curious to know who was the man who hin dered their growth. Everyone thought: Well at least the man who hindered my progress died! One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside they were speechless. They stood shocked in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin and everyone who looked inside could see himself. There was a sign next to the mirror that read: There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth...It is you. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, success and realization. Your life does not change when your boss fr...

The Law of Attraction

Reading books or articles about the law of attraction awaken a sensation of few moments, once in a while, about what you wish to get or achieve. The realization that you can transform your life and create success brings excitement and hope, but these feelings can change into disappointment and frustration, if you don't know what to do next. If you are told that you can create anything you want, but are not provided with the proper guidance and practical instructions, how can you proceed? It is not enough just to visualize a goal for a few minutes, and then let doubts and disbelief fill your mind for the rest of the day. It is not enough just to visualize a few times, and then wait for miracles to happen. * You need to have a strong desire and motivation, and the commitment to do whatever is necessary to achieve your goal. * You need persistence, concentration, the ability to visualize, and at least some degree of self-discipline. * You need to learn to recognize op...

How friendly are you?

"A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly:and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother."(prov 18:24) We all need friends. In fact,people who have no friends are usually the ones who need them.What can we do without friends? Not much. Friends give us fellowship when we are lonely,comfort when we are sorrowful and concern when we are confused. Many of us are in our schools where we are now because of our friends. The shoes we wear,colour and types of our clothes,the meals we eat are,one way or the other,the outcome of our relationships. Friends are really important for us. As we think of the role of friends in our lives,we realise that friendship is a two way thing. We influence our friends and our friends also influence us. They makes us or mar us. Consequently,our developments and achievements in life can be determined by the types of friends that we make and that we are, choose wisely and most importantly, be the type of person you w...
