TREASURE WHAT YOU HAVE…
Pretty true in the phrase at the end.
Sometimes we spend time on who is responsible or who to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people you know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship to gie each other support. Treasure what you have.
A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes.
When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for the office so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter.
The boy playfully went to the medicine bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child showed signs of poisoning the mother took him to the hospital, where he died.
The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband…
When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.
QUESTIONS:
1. What were the four words?
2. What is the implication of this story?
Check with the answers only after you have tried to come up with your own.
Please scroll down.
ANSWER:
The husband just said “I LOVE YOU DARLING.”
The husband’s totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. He is indeed a genius in human relationships.
The child is dead. He can never come back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world.
To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman you must understand her a lot and love her with all your heart.
“A journey of a thousand miles, begins with but with a single step. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears AND you will find THINGS ARE ACTUALLY NOT SO DIFFICULT AS YOU THINK.”

THE BRICK
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.
As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.
The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
The young boy was apologetic. "Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do," He pleaded. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop..."
With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my brother, "he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."
Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me." Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told\n the stranger.

Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: "Don't go through life so fast\n that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!" God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not. //-->

Thought for the Day:
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning Face it, friend - He is crazy about you! \>God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow,sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. ",1]

Send this to every "beautiful person" you wish to bless.

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Birthday of our Mother
HAPPY FEAST TO ALLDear friends, the longed for feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary is at hand; so let us be glad with the greatest rejoicing as such a feast dawns for us. She is the flower of the field from whom bloomed the precious Lily of the valley, through whose birth the nature inherited from our first parents is transformed and our guilt is blotted out. Eve mourned, Mary rejoiced. Eve carried tears in her heart; Mary, joy. Eve gave birth to sinners, Mary to the Innocent One. The mother of our race brought forth punishment upon the world, the Mother of our Lord brought salvation into the world. Eve was the author of sin, Mary the author of merit. Eve by killing was a hindrance to the human race, Mary by giving life was a help to all; Eve struck, Mary healed. Disobedience is displaced by obedience, and fidelity atones for infidelity..This miraculous new birth has utterly vanquished the aimless wanderings of humankind; Mary's canticle has put an end to the lamentations of Eve.PrayerGreat Mother of God, your childbearing of the Word of God was the beginning of our salvation.May your grace-filled birthday that delights the heart of the redeemed bring us also an increase of peace. Blest be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother! Amen.

YES ..IS IT lIFE..??
God created the donkeyand said to him."You will be a donkey. You will work un-tiringly from sunrise to sunset carrying burdens on your back. You will eat grass,you will have no intelligence and you will live 50 years.The donkey answered:"I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is much. Give me only 20years" God granted his wish.
God created the dogand said to him:"You will guard the house of man. You will be his best Friend.You will eat the scraps that he gives you and you will live 30 years. You will be a dog. " *The dog answered: "Sir, to live 30 years is too much,give me only 15 years." God granted his wish.
God created the monkey and said to him:"You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks.You will be amusing and you will live 20 years. " The monkey answered:"To live 20 years is too much, give me only 10 years."God granted his wish.
Finally God created man and said to him:"You will be man, the only rational creature on the face of the earth.You will use your intelligence to become master over all the animals.. You will dominate the world and you will live 20 years." *Man responded:"Sir, I will be a man but to live only20 years is very little,give me the 30 years that the donkey refused,the 15 years that the dog did not want and the 10 years the monkey refused." God granted man's wish .................................................................
And since then, man lives
20 years as a man
marries and spends30 years like a donkey,working and carrying all the burdens on his back.Then when his children are grown,he lives 15 years like a dog taking care of the house and eating whatever is given to him,so that when he is old,he can retire and live 10 years like a monkey,going from house to house and from one son ordaughter to another doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren.

Relationships are\n hard to handle, might even seem impossible at times. There will be many fights and many quarrels, many disagreements and many tears. The easiest thing would be to give up. But if we spent half the energy we use in fighting with each other, and spend that energy in fighting to keep the relationship strong, then that is love. Remember, in a relationship, giving up is not the solution.Disagreements, fights and quarrels will always be there. But you must always fight harder to stay together. Some fights are truly worth fighting! SMILE !

Our father
Our Father Who Art In Heaven. Yes? Don't interrupt me. I'm praying. But -- you called ME! Called you? No, I didn't call you. I'm praying. Our Father who art in Heaven. There -- you did it again! Did what? Called ME. You said, "Our Father who art in Heaven" Well, here I am. What's on your mind? But I didn't mean anything by it. I was, you know, just saying my prayers for the day. I always say the Lord's Prayer. It makes me feel good, kind of like fulfilling a duty. Well, all right. Go on. Okay, Hallowed be thy name . . Hold it right there. What do you mean by that? By what? By "Hallowed be thy name"? It means, it means . good grief, I don't know what it means. How in the world should I know? It's just a part of the prayer. By the way, what does it mean? It means honored, holy, wonderful. Hey, that makes sense. I never thought about what 'hallowed' meant before. Thanks. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Do you really mean that? Sure, why not? What are you doing about it? Doing? Why, nothing! , I guess. I just think it would be kind of neat if you got control, of everything down here like you have up there. We're kinda in a mess down here you know Yes, I know; but, have I got control of you? Well, I go to church. That isn't what I asked you. What about your bad temper? You've really got a problem there, you know. And then there's the way you spend your money -- all on yourself. And what about the kind of books you read? Now hold on just a minute! Stop picking on me! I'm just as good as some of the rest of those people at church! Excuse ME. I thought you were praying for my will to be done. If that is to happen, it will have to start with the ones who are praying for it. Like you -- for example. Oh, all right. I guess I do have some hang-ups. Now that you mention it, I could probably name some others. So could I I haven't thought about it very much until now, but I really would like to cut out some of those things. I would like to, you know, be really free. Good. Now we're getting somewhere. We'll work together -- You and ME. I'm proud of You. Look, Lord, if you don't mind, I need to finish up here. This is taking a lot longer than it usually does. Give us this day, our daily bread. You need to cut out the bread. You're overweight as it is. Hey, wait a minute! What is this? Here I was doing my religious duty, and all of a sudden you break in and remind me of all my hang-ups. Praying is a dangerous thing. You just might get what you ask for. Remember, you called ME -- and here I am. It's too late to stop now. Keep praying. ( . pause . ) Well, go on. I'm scared to. Scared? Of what? I know what you'll say. Try ME. Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. What about Ann? See? I knew it! I knew you would bring her up! Why, Lord, she's told lies about me, spread stories. She never paid back the money she owes me. I've sworn to get even with her! But -- your prayer -- What about your prayer? I didn't -- mean it. Well, at least you're honest But, it's quite a load carrying around all that bitterness and resentment isn't it? Yes, but I'll feel better as soon as I get even with her. Boy, have I got some plans for her. She'll wish she had never been born. No, you won't feel any better. You'll feel worse. Revenge isn't sweet. You know how unhappy you are -- Well, I can change that. You can? How? Forgive Ann. Then, I'll forgive you; And the hate and the sin, will be Ann's problem -- not yours. You will have settled the problem as far as you are concerned. Oh, you know, you're right. You always are. And more than I want revenge, I want to be right with You . . (sigh). All right . all right . . I forgive her. There now! Wonderful! How do you feel? Hmmmm. Well, not bad. Not bad at all! In fact, I feel pretty great! You know, I don't think I'll go to bed uptight tonight. I haven't been getting much rest, you know. Yeah, I know. But, you're not through with your prayer are you? Go on. Oh, all right. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Good! Good! I'll do that. Just don't put yourself in a place where you can be tempted. What do you mean by that? You know what I mean. Yeah. I know. Okay. Go ahead. Finish your prayer. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen. Do you know what would bring me glory -- What would really make me happy? No, but I'd like to know. I want to please you now. I've really made a mess of things. I want to truly follow you. I can see now how great that would be. So, tell me . . How do I make you happy? YOU just did.

TODAY'S INSPIRATION ! HOW TO STAY YOUNG ... ...
1. Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight, and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)
3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!
4. Enjoy the simple things
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with her/him !
6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is our self. LIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love, that you love them - at every opportunity. And if you don't send this to at least four people - who cares? But do share this with someone.
The 7 Ups!
1. Wake Up !!
Decide to have a good day.
"This is the day the Lord hath made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalms 118:24
2. Dress Up !!
The best way to dress up is to put on a smile.
A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.
Man looks at outward appearance,
But the Lord looks at the heart."
I Samuel 16:7
3. Shut Up!!
Say nice things and learn to listen.
God gave us two ears and one mouth,
So He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking.
"He who guards his lips guards his soul."
Proverbs 13:3
4. Stand Up!!
. . . For what you believe in.
Stand for something or you will fall for anything.
"Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time,
We will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..."
Galatians 6:9-10
5. Look Up !!
. . . To the Lord.
"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me".
Philippians 4:13
6. Reach Up !!
. . . For something higher.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not unto your own understanding.
In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path."
Proverbs 3:5-6
7. Lift Up !!
. . . Your Prayers.
"Do not worry about anything; instead
PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING."
Philippians 4:6
A POSITIVE THOUGHT
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring, and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen.
He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.
What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem;
Not to mention that Friday at Calvary.
Face it, He's crazy about you.
I thought this was mighty special, just like you.
God loves you !!!

Some years ago, a newspaper offered a prize
for best definition of money.
Out of hundreds who competed,
the winner submitted this food for thought:
MONEY is A UNIVERSAL PROVIDER
FOR EVERYTHING
BUT NOT HAPPINESS…
A PASSPORT to EVERYWHERE
BUT NEVER to HEAVEN.
God stands by us when we are down and out...
God guides us when we think of quitting...
God inspires us when we are confused...
GOD KNOWS.
GOD SEES.
GOD BLESSES!
