Value Life...........

Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.
Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.
Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."
The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health , time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.
One day when we look back , we will realize that we don't really need that much , but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.
Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition.

Life is definitely

not about work!
Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time.
You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile , Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!

Watch your thoughts ; they become words.

Watch your words ; they become actions.

Watch your actions ; they become habits..

Watch your habits; they become character .

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny

So enjoy every day as yours.........

Thanks sweet Ruth, this makes us just appreciate everything is life so much for it begins in appreciating the small things first!!
BLessings dear!

The little things

Thank you for the little things
That fill my heart with hope.
For thinking of these little things
Sure seems to change the scope...

Budding flowers, seedling trees,
A warm afternoon and a cool summer breeze;

The lady bug, the butterfly
Big puffy clouds in a baby blue sky;

The clover patch, the honey bee,
A Sunday brunch or afternoon tea;

The sparkle of a midnight star,
And wishing on it from afar;

The calming effect of an evening rain,
As it taps against the window pane.

For all these things I can't complain!

So, when my life seems rough to me
I think of all your kindness brings,
And I find my sprits lifted up,
For you truly give my soul it's wings.

I asked God…

I asked God to take away my pain
God said, No
-it is not for me to take away,
But for you to give up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole
God said, No
-Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience
God said, No
-patience is a by-product of tribulations,
It isn’t granted, it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness
God said, No
-I give you blessings, happiness is up to you.
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 for all things that I might enjoy life
God said, No
-I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things
I asked God to helped me LOVE others,
as much as He loves me
God said…..
Ahhh, finally you have the idea.

God loves You!

Meaningful Life
If you’ve never asked the question
Who or when or why or how
Give your mind that great suggestion
Go ahead and do it now

You will find when you consider
All the options that abound
There is still but one conclusion
Where peace of mind is found

It’s not in education
In religion or in books
In retirement funds and IRAs
Or how the market looks

It’s not in status or in style
How low in golf you score
It’s not the running of a mile
Or who you’re working for

It’s not the price you pay for things
It’s not the jewels and fancy rings
It’s not the checks and credit cards
Secured by all those guns and guards

It’s not the beauty of your face
It’s not a matter of your face
It’s not the muscle on your bones
Your classy looks or great skin tones

What matters most in life today
Is where you stand along the way
Not what you have but what you are
How faith in God succeeds by far

God is the answer to the question
Of the who, when, why or how
And He gives the invitation:
‘TRUST IN ME AND DO IT NOW’’

You’ll find God meets your deepest need
With His kind words your soul He’ll feed
He guide your steps and makes things right
He’ll turn darkness into light…..

Good day to u my friend, its really great everyday praising en thanking God for everything He has done for us!
yesterday upon reading one of my email/newsletter.. I heard a small voice telling me to send the message for that day to people who need to read that msg...
FOR I, THE LORD YOUR GOD, WILL HOLD YOUR RIGHT
HAND, SAYING TO YOU, "FEAR NOT, I WILL HELP
YOU."
( ISAIAH 41:13 *NKJV )
We often face troubling times in our lives that
cause us to worry, and lose sleep. As a child of God you
have Him at your side, holding your hand, and guiding
your pathway through those times. For, THE LORD IS
GOOD, A STRONGHOLD IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE;
AND HE KNOWS THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM.
( NAHUM 1:7 )
He will never abandon HIS Children, throughout
their entire lives. For He is always with us no matter
what we may face, as He further promised: WHEN YOU
PASS THROUGH THE WATERS, I WILL BE WITH YOU;
AND THROUGH THE RIVERS,* THEY SHALL NOT
OVERFLOW YOU. WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE
FIRE,* YOU SHALL NOT BE BURNED, NOR SHALL
THE FLAME SCORCH YOU. ( ISAIAH 43:2 )
[*Rivers and *Fire in the verse represent difficulties in our
lives]
Therefore, FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU; BE NOT
DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL
STRENGTHEN YOU, YES, I WILL HELP YOU, I WILL
UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND.
( ISAIAH 41:10 )
So the next time you face troubling times, do as Jesus
said: "LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED; YOU
BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME." (JOHN 14:1)
Then WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE
AFRAID; YES, YOU WILL LIE DOWN AND YOUR
SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. ( PROVERBS 3:24 )
Now have a great day walking hand and hand with God, Amen.
So i started searching people from this site.. en asking God to lead me where do i have send the msg... en i know He allowed it to happen for He knows very well what's inside r heart..He knows our needs..
and i was really amazed upon receiving comments from u my dear friends..God is always in good timing isn't it?
Sometimes, even wer already christians, en saying we surrender our lives to God, tru our attitudes, the way we handle situations in r lives doesn't reflect our christianity...en i'm not exempted in that fact...hehehhehe..but one thing for sure as written in Mty.4:4man does not live on bread alone...but on every Word that comes from the mouth of God..His Words is really what we need daily in r lives..That's why wer here dear friends to strengthen each other... uplift our faith,our believes,en glorify God for all things He has done for us!Let's magnify God, not our problems...prayers r powerful weapon but i know worshipping God all the times is the key of all His Blessings we hev right now,even trials en tribulations can turn into big blessings my friends...
1Thes.5:16-18: Rejoice,pray en give thanks...
Praise be to God...
God bless u en ur family...

If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won't survive the week.

If you have never experienced
the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture or
the pangs of starvation,
you are ahead of 20 million people
around the world.

If you can attend a church meeting
without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost
three billion people in the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back, a roof over
your head 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 a dish someplace, you are among
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If your parents are still married and alive,
you are very rare, especially in this World
today.

If you hold up your head with a smile
on your face and are truly thankful,
you are blessed because the majority can,
but most do not.

If you can hold someone's hand, hug them
or even touch them on the shoulder,
you are blessed because you can
offer God's healing touch.

If you can read this message,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world
that cannot read anything at all.

You are so blessed in ways
you may never even know.

Prayer Will See You Through

When the world falls down around you
and a prayer will see you through
Say an extra prayer for someone
Who may need it more than you.

For who knows whose hearts are breaking
In the silence of the night
Just that extra prayer you whisper
May help someone to see the light.

Every time you help a stranger
With an extra prayer or two
You are building extra blessings
That will always come back to you.

A mouse looked through the crack
in the wall to see the farmer
and his wife open a package.

What food might this contain?'
the mouse wondered - - -
he was devastated to discover
it was a mousetrap.



Retreating to the farmyard,
the mouse proclaimed the warning :

There is a mousetrap in the house!
There is a mousetrap in the house!'




The chicken clucked and scratched,
raised her head and said,
'Mr.Mouse, I can tell this is a grave
concern to you, but it is of no consequence
to me.I cannot be bothered by it.'


The mouse turned to the pig and told him,

'There is a mousetrap in the house!
There is a mousetrap in the house!'


The pig sympathized, but said,
'I am so very sorry, Mr.Mouse,
but there is nothing I can do about it
but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.'




The mouse turned to the cow and said,

'There is a mousetrap in the house!
There is a mousetrap in the house!'


The cow said, 'Wow, Mr. Mouse.
I'm sorry for you,
but it's no skin off my nose.'


So, the mouse returned to the house,
head down and dejected,
to face the farmer's mousetrap . . . alone.

That very night a sound was heard
throughout the house -- like the sound
of a mousetrap catching its prey.


The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught.
In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.


The snake bit the farmer's wife.



The farmer rushed her to the hospital,
and she returned home with a fever.


Everyone knows you treat a fever
with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer
took his hatchet to the farmyard
for the soup's main ingredient.


But his wife's sickness continued,
so friends and neighbors came to sit
with her around the clock.

To feed them,
the farmer butchered the pig.





The farmer's wife did not get well;
she died.





So many people came for her funeral,
the farmer had the cow slaughtered to
provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his
crack in the wall with great sadness.


So, the next time you hear someone is
facing a problem and think it doesn't
concern you, remember ----

when one of us is threatened,
we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this
journey called life.
We must keep an eye out for
one another and make an extra effort
to encourage one another.



SEND THIS TO EVERYONE WHO
HAS EVER HELPED YOU OUT
AND LET THEM KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT THEY ARE.




REMEMBER. . . . . .


EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY;

OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER
FOR A REASON.




One of the best things to hold onto
in this world is a FRIEND.
