RECEIVED ONE BLESSING AFTER ANOTHER.
( JOHN 1:16 *NIV )
Always remember to count our blessings each day, and to
thank God for them! For no matter what we have, when we
look around us, we find others who have less! So never feel
sorry for ourself, instead start counting our blessings, for that
should cheer u up indeed.
Now we know that when things disappoint us, we are sad and
often depressed. However it is written that we should: BE
JOYFUL ALWAYS; PRAY CONTINUALLY; GIVE THANKS IN
ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR THIS IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU
IN JESUS CHRIST. ( 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18 )
Therefore, never feel that God doesn't hear our prayers
because a prayer isn't answered the way we want, or something
goes wrong in our life. For our Heavenly Father always knows
what is best for us, and: HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU NOR
FORSAKE YOU. ( DEUTERONOMY 31:6 )
So my friend, remember to always: GIVE THANKS TO THE
LORD, CALL ON HIS NAME; MAKE KNOWN AMONG THE
NATIONS WHAT HE HAS DONE for you!
( 1 CHRONICLES 16:8 )
In closing, MAY THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST, AND THE LOVE OF GOD, AND THE
FELLOWSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALL,
now and always! Amen! ( 2 CORINTHIANS 13:14 )
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.........

One step at a time is the best way to go
When going through life and traveling in the direction of your dreams
The best way to get ahead is the simpliest way:
Take one step at a time
Don’t look over your shoulder
If you do, you’ll feel the weight of all your yesterdays upon you
And don’t worry about what lies ahead
By the time you get to the bend in the road or the crest of the hill
You’re going to be better and stronger than you ever were before
Just go one step at a time
One day at a time
And you’ll find a rich, thankful life you never thought you could afford….
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!
just recieved an email and thought that i should share it with you.
"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and
unsearchable things you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3
How many of us are guilty of not following the instructions? I'm
talking about the instructions we get when we read God's Word.
The instructions on how to live our lives and how to love
unconditionally and how to turn the other cheek. Some of us
don't even read the instructions. We think we know what we're
doing and can do it on our own. But one thing I have learned in
this stand is that I cannot do it on my own. On my own, I am
weak. On my own, I am confused. On my own I do and say things I
shouldn't. But in God's strength, I can do all things.
"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through
him who loved us." Romans 8:37
"I can do everything through him who gives me strength."
Philippians 4:13
Walking in God's strength we can do this thing called standing.
Jesus is always there with us, whether we acknowledge it or not.
With Him by our side we can put one foot in front of the other
and know we will not stumble. We can find our way in the dark by
the light of His love. We can make it through this deep valley
and face the mountains ahead. We can climb the steepest hill and
traverse the rockiest road because He walks beside us. We can
hope and believe and trust even when things look impossible. We
can know that when we are too weak or too weary to walk on our
own, He will carry us.
"You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness
into light. With your help I can advance against a troop; with
my God I can scale a wall. As for God, his way is perfect; the
word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take
refuge in him. For who is God besides the LORD? And who is
the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength
and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a
deer; he enables me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands
for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You give me your
shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop
down to make me great. You broaden the path beneath me, so
that my ankles do not turn." Psalm 18:28-36
The Bible is our instruction manual for life. Spending time in
His Word each day gives us guidance and instruction as we walk
this narrow road. God will often illuminate a piece of scripture
that we have read countless times before and somehow we know it
is His instruction or comfort or strength. Go to God's Word
with all your questions and concerns. Not just the big ones like
how do I stand for my marriage and what do I pray for. But go to
Him with the little problems, too. The questions about finances
or your children or a job change or what to do about this or
about that. God loves to hear from His children. And He loves
to answer them.
"All this also comes from the LORD Almighty, wonderful in
counsel and magnificent in wisdom." Isaiah 28:29
"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure;
then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and
good fruit, impartial and sincere." James 3:17
It's not enough just to read and hear God's instructions. We
have to follow them, too. We need to be doers of the Word, not
just readers. Many of us, myself included, are guilty of
selective reading and selective listening. Sometimes we hear
what we want to hear, not what we need to hear. We like those
things that "tickle our ears" but don't want to hear those things
that call us to account.
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.
Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do
what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror
and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately
forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into
the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this,
not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be
blessed in what he does." James 1:22-25
Some of us are ready to quit on our stands. We're confused and perplexed
and just plain tired of all the work. But how do we know what is
happening on the other side of our mountain? How do we know how
close our prodigals may be to our door? How do we know that
heart of stone isn't starting to soften? How will we know unless
we read to the end? Our miracle may be just outside the door.
Our promise fulfilled may be just one prayer away. Our answer
may be even now on its way. But we won't know that unless we
persevere to the end.
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time
we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9

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…..
