Dear all, Whatever our religions are, let's just take a moment to be thankful for all the blessings wh have and I'm sure we have plenty to be thankful.This is one of the nicest e-mails I have seen and is so true:
I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.
My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, 'This Is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to GOD said in prayer are Received..'
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world..
Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.
The angel then said to me, 'This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them.'
I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the Door of a very small station To my great surprise, only one angel was Seated there, idly doing nothing. 'This is the Acknowledgment Section,' My angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed 'How Is it that there is no work going on here?' I asked.
'So sad,' the angel sighed. 'After people receive the blessings that they asked For, very few send back acknowledgments .'
'How does one acknowledge GOD's blessings?' I asked.
'Simple,' the angel answered. Just say, 'Thank you, LORD.'
'What blessings should they acknowledge?' I asked.
'If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead 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, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy .'
'And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity.'
Also ......
' If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day .'
'If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation .. You are ahead of 700 million people in the world.'
'If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are very rare .'
'If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair.'
Ok, what now? How can I start?
Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to remind everyone else - appreciate how blessed we all are.
A TTN:
Acknowledgment Dept.: 'Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people to share it with.

Friends
The Value of Friendship: "Two people can accomplish more than twice as much as one; they get a better return for their labour. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But people who are alone when they fall are in real trouble. And on a cold night, two under the same blanket can gain warmth from each other. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken." (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, New Living Translation) -- Su Chun.

A Cherokee Legend
Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage?
His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him an leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone.
Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.
He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own.
The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him
harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man!
Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold.
It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.
He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm.
We, too, are never alone.
Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us, Sitting on the stump beside us.
When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him.
If you liked this story, pass it on.
If not, you took off your blindfold before dawn.
Moral of the story:
Just because you can't see God,
Doesn't mean He is not there..
"For we walk by faith, not by sight."

Crazy but not Stupid
Crazy but not stupid NICE ONE with a Moral
One truck driver was doing his usual load delivery at a mental hospital, by parking his vehicle beside an open drain.
He discovered a flat Tyre when he was about to return from the mental hospital. He jacked up the truck and removed the flat Tyre to fix the spare Tyre.
When he was about to fix the spare Tyre, he accidentally dropped all the four bolts in the open drain.
As he cannot fish the bolts in the open drain, he started to panic as to what should be done?
Just then, one patient happened to walk past him and asked the driver as to why he was looking troubled.
The driver thought to himself, since there is nothing much he can do or this mental joker can. Just to keep the bugging away, the truck driver informed the whole episode to the mental patient and gave a helpless look.
The patient just laughed at the truck driver and said you just cannot even fix such a simple problem? No wonder you are destined to remain a truck driver for life.
The truck driver was astonished to hear such a compliment from a mental guy.
Here is what you can do said the mental guy.
Take one bolt from each of the remaining three Tyre's/wheels and fix it on to this Tyre. Then drive down to the nearest workshop and replace the missing ones. Isn't it simple my friend!!!!
The truck driver was so impressed with this quick fix answer and asked the patient, how come you are so smart and intelligent and you are here at the mental hospital?
The patient replied...hello friend! I stay here because I am crazy but not stupid.
No wonder, there are some people, who behave like the Truck Driver, thinking that others are just stupid. So, guys, though you all are learned and wise, but, just watch out, there could be some CRAZY guys in our professional / personal lives, who could give us lot of quick fixes and brush our wisdom.
The moral of the story is - Just do not conclude that you know everything and do not judge people by mere looks/attire stature or academic background.

A Complaint Letter
Nowadays, I always keep problems to myself. I hate myself being blind. I'm sorry to say that some people are being hypocrites, which is a bad attitude. They pretend to be kind. There are some people who change: from good to bad. I won't mention their names, and please don't ask me. But please do give me an encouragement after reading my blog. As a blind girl, I'm very sensitive: how people talk to me, treat me, or are they being sincere or not. I hate people talking to me loudly, and I don't like to be treated rudely. If everyone understands the sufferings of each other and helps one another in times of difficulties, isn't it good? I feel that this world is very unfair. People are becoming more cruel than the past. That's why God brings disasters to this world to make us realize our sins. God hopes that we will repent, and God love sinners eventhough He hates sins. I hope that this world will be a beautiful place to live in one day. Everyone must play our part to make changes to this world.

My Role In Creating A Peaceful World.
I believe that everyone aims for a peaceful and harmonious world.
Everyone of us plays a major role in creating a peaceful world. As a
blind person, I have my vision of how to make this world peace as
well. I will not give up in realizing my vision. A peaceful world is
very important to ensure the safety of the world. If there is no peace
in this world, we will live in fear.
Everyone of us plays a major role in creating a peaceful world. As a
blind person, I have my vision of how to make this world peace as
well. I will not give up in realizing my vision. A peaceful world is
very important to ensure the safety of the world. If there is no peace
in this world, we will live in fear.
Firstly, I can contribute peace to this world by playing piano. Most
youngsters are musically-inclined. They can play many types of musical
instruments such as the guitar, violin and piano. Being able to
produce music on an instrument is one of the greatest pleasures that a
person can have. "Music soothes the savage beast", as it is said. One
does not have to be a savage beast to be soothed. Everyone is soothed
by music. Music heals the soul. There are many types of music such as
classical music, baroque music, etc. Everyone enjoys listening to
music as it is lively. Music helps to release stress after a long
period of working. This vision can be realize if everyone appreciates
music.
Next, a peaceful world can be achieved through religion. Every
religion teaches us to be good. If we follow our religious teachings,
we will not be influenced by negative activities. Religion plays a
major role in creating world peace. In Christianity, peace is one of
the nine Fruits of Spirits. To improve our personality, we can bring
our friends and relatives to church. In this way, we will be able to
accept Christ who is our savior. Individually, we should often pray
for peace because only God can give us peace. Peace is a fundamental
doctrine of Christianity and humanity. Sometimes, it is very
disappointing to depend on others to give us peace as they can let us
down. The younger generation of the world can realize this vision if
everyone cooperates with each other and respect others no matter what
religion they are.
As a blind person, I always complain and grumble about life. I am
always feeling unhappy with my weaknesses. But I try to improve
myself. I feel that we should always be happy with what we have. We
should put aside all the negative thoughts that we have and be more
optimistic. This can create a peaceful mind and heart. Although I am
blind, I have a deep sense that this world is no longer beautiful.
Everyday, when we read the newspapers, we encounter news of terrorism,
criminal, world war, etc. We feel sad upon reading these tragic events
that take place between countries.We are worried most of the time
about our safety. In 2009, I encountered a serious problem when my
parents fought and quarreled all the time. This created a habit for me
to constantly lock my door when the quarrel took place. So I did not
have peace almost everyday and felt miserable all the time. I now
realize that it is important to maintain our family relationships.
When we have problems, we should discuss in a nice tone of voice. We
should consider the feeling of others. Parents should be educated on
marriage. They should not find the easiest way to divorce with the
other party. This will affect the children's emotion. Marriage problem
can be solved if husband and wife are faithful to each other. They
should be God-fearing and obey the teaching of Christ. A happy family
can be achieved if one bears the burden of each other. If the whole
community is happy, the world will have peace as well. I often cry
when I face problems. I easily feel offended and hate those who have
hurt me. As a good Christian, I should learn to forgive others. Hating
others will not give any peace to me and also to the world. I have
some friends who are caring about me. They have touched my life by
giving me a call and listening to me when I share my problems with
them. As I cannot see, I need protection. I do not want to be
harassed. I must not worry so much as others have worst problems than
I have. To create a peaceful world, everyone should be happy, joyful
and love one another as one family.
Last but not least, there should not be any racial discrimination in
this world. The situation that happened on 13th May 1969 gives a
lesson to us for not repeating the mistake again. We should learn to
accept and understand other races and cultures. One should not
criticize about the weaknesses of other races as it causes
misunderstanding to the world. No one wants to live in the world of
tragedy. Therefore, the younger generation should start now to mix
with those of different colours, languages and races. In the past, our
world was not peaceful. We suffered from World War I and World War Ii.
There is much changes now. I hope the harmony and peace of the world
can be maintained.
