DEATH : WhAt A wOnDeRfUl wAy To ExPlAiN iT




A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, “Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.” Very quietly, the doctor said, “I don’t know.” “You don’t know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?”


The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.Turning to the patient, the doctor said, “Did you notice my dog? He’s never been in this room before. He didn’t know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing… I know my Master is there and that is enough.”

May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Don't give up

One day I decided to quit...I quit my job, my relationship, my
spirituality... I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
"God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me...
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of
them. I gave them light. I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor.
Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.
In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on
the bamboo. He said.
"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo
seed. But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would
not quit." He said.
"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared
to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...But just 6
months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and
gave it what it needed to survive.I would not
give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He asked me."Did you know, my child, that all this time you have
been struggling, you have actually been growing roots".
"I would not quit on the bamboo.
I will never quit on you."
"Don't compare yourself to others." He said.
"The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern.
Yet they both make the forest beautiful."> "Your time will come", God said to me.
"You will rise high"
I hope these words can help you see that God will never
give up on you. Never, Never, Never Give up.
For Prayer is not an Option but an Opportunity.
Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is, tell the problem how Great the Lord is!

Prayers... The Short Parable

Two men were in a car when they had to stop at a red signal light. The man at the wheel did not say anything.

The other man by his side, fretting and smoking, said, "The time we waste at these red lights - why, a man could write a book!

"The driver still said nothing.

Finally the man beside him said, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

"No."

"How come?"

"I was talking."

"Whom were you talking to?"

"I was talking to my SOUL," he said. "I've been making it a practice every time I get to a red light to pray for one of my friends. It is wonderful how many folks I have on my prayer list and how many I have time to pray for in this way."

"Prayer is an act in which we give expressions to the pressings and powerful wishes and hopes in the depths of our being and yearn for their fulfillment. Human beings possess an innate and undeniable instinct for prayer; Religion first came into being in response to it. Prayer did not come into existence becoz of religion; it was the other way around. -Daisaku Ikeda

Pray for me .... For everyone you know.... For everybody in this world... for PEACE

have some coffee after golf..really nice!!

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he picked up a large, empty jar and filled it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full
.They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students in a Yes.

The professor then got a cup of coffee from under the table and poured the content into the jar, filling the empty space between the sand.

"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your God, family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions. Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.

"The sand is everything else - the small stuff."

If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness...your partner, ur children, ur frenz n ur passion"

"Take care of golf balls first and then the petty things can be looked into. The rest is all sand"
One of the students raised her hand and asked what the coffee meant & the proffessor replied- The coffee shows that howsoever busy you may be but there always some time for a coffee with ur frenz. : )

THE FUTURE IS NOW:a zest for living



Hii.i have taken this story from english literature..i liked this story..so reorganised and created here in my blog.The story or u can say something logical is about how one should live today and make his/her life perfect..



The future is now


we are living in the present.we should live every moment of life and have a 'zest' for living.[same like the movie : kal ho naa ho]


we should learn from the past.even future is important for us.


"the future is now",the most important task for us is " to live this day and this moment"of our life and should live this day/moment to the best of our ability.





The past is dead.it is there to instruct us.We should learn lessons from past experiences.But the future begins now.we can improve a lot.life has to be lived.it is to be lived fully and with pleasure.we must have zest for living.Its the present that makes our life really 'worth living'.





Life should be enjoyed.We should have confidence in god.then we should put on the spurs.we should " let the wild horse of life fly....over stones & hedges".it means one should have courage,determination &zeest for living to face any eventualities in life.we should be prepared ' to break' our necks but we should move on"without fear"


example: A Russian spent 7 years in Siberia. he saidthat in the most unpleasant enviornment of Siberia,these lives helped him to survive there.There are 60 seconds in a minute.If we run"60seconds worth of distance", then we should live and enjoy every moment fully.If we do so,we are the masters of ourselves and offcourse,we shall rule over the people of the world.

Why Women Cry


A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?"

"Because I'm a woman," she told him. "I don't understand," he said.

His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."


Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.



The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.


Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said: "When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her strength to carry he r husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed." "You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."
