Making People Pray

A bus driver and a priest died at the same time. Although the driver was sent directly to heaven, the priest's case was apparently harder to decide.

"I don't mind that you sent a bus driver to heaven," the priest was heard complaining. "But after all, I was a priest. So why should I be kept waiting?"

A Positive Attitude

A positive attitude is every bit as important to  success as talent. It's important, too, to remember that optimism - like actions - speaks louder than words. many enormously successful people have bent over backwards to appear prudent- belittling even themselves or their own achievements - without ever slowing down in their pursuit of excellence. Let me give you some examples.

The great inventor said: "The phonograph is not of any commercial value," and "the radio craze will die out in time." The speaker was Thomas Edison.

Forgive Me When I Whine

Today, upon a bus, A saw a lovely girl with golden hair.
I envied her. She seemed so gay, and wished I were as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg, and wore a crutch.
But as she passed - a smile.
O God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two legs. The world is mine!

Transforming our Original form

Knowing Our self
We must be familiar and particular with our self. We must not only know our name, age, birthday, address, and courses that taken. But we must also know our character, personality, and temperaments. Our strengths and weakness are also essential to be take note.

Getting acquainted with our self
 We must know our self personally, we must not know ourselves by asking and inquiring from others. When ask by somebody if who we are, an answer that is ready to describe us should be available.

Afraid of Dying?

Certainly all of us were afraid to die, especially those who understand the essence of life. But there are people who won't afraid to die, those who perceived life as meaningless, those who don't see and feel the beauty and purpose of living.
But life on earth is very short; one, ten, thirty, fifty, seventy, ninety, or even more than hundred years, those years of existence here on earth are very short period. The long and short period of existence are the same, you live long with many problems and sorrows, and live short with little problems and sorrows. Most of us aspire to live happily and conveniently, but how many people live conveniently in having more wealth and money.

Butterflies don't know the color of their wings

Butterflies don't know the color of their wings, but human eyes know how beautiful it is. We don't know how good we are, but others can see you as special. Let us preserve the good image that serve as our trademark, the Lord will compensate us for whatever good things we share.

Seeds of Kindness

If you scatter seeds of kindness anywhere you go, you gather buds of love..
Watch them grow and you will find happiness more than you will ever know.

God has purpose

A sailor was stuck in an island alone.. He made a hut for his shelter, day and night he is praying and waiting for someone to rescue him but no one came.. He stored foods in the hut for his survival, but one day the hut burn into ashes and nothing was left., He was so angry and said God, why have you done this to me?" The next morning rescuers came, he asked "how do you know that i'm here? They replied, we saw a smoke signal." Then he realized that when his hut is burning, there is something good happening.. God has reason for everything.

Humility

In a street accident, a woman tried to help the victim but suddenly a nurse came in and said, "miss, excuse me! please step back! I had a course in first aid and i'm trained in giving CPR."
The woman stepped aside and watched the procedure and said, "if you need a Doctor... I'm just here at your back.

Footprints in the Sand

One night a man dream t that he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his past life. Each time he noticed that there were two sets of footprints on the sand: one belonging to him and another to the Lord.


But he noticed that sometimes there were one of footprints. And he could recall, this was during the saddest and hardest days of his life.


This bothered him and he complained to the Lord and said, "Lord you told me that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way, But now I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why you left me just at the times when I needed you most."

Ask God for answer

I heard this story in a sermon, i got the thought but not the detail of the story. But anyway, I am relating this so that it will give inspiration to readers and to those who are willing to be under God's control.

It was happen in Germany, a German citizen is trying to help his Jewish friend who is hiding from the soldier who were after him looking and capturing Jews in town, the friend hide inside the house until the

Good people are like lighted candles

Good people are like lighted candles. The darker the night, the brighter they become. They don't make noise about their brightness and don't lose their brightness by sharing it with others. Let nothing overwhelm your light. Keep it on burning and inspiring others.

People remember you for being nice

An ill child was brought to a hospital. After treatment, the mother showed the Doctor a handmade wallet and said, "There are things we can't pay, I hope you take this wallet I made for you." The Doctor said, "I don't practice for sentimental reasons. Pay me ten thousand." The mother opened the wallet, toke out 25 thousand and gave the doctor 10 thousand. Then she replied, "you're a very good doctor, but I wish you were a better man."

Lesson from the story:
It is nice to be important, but it is even more important to be nice. People remember you for being nice and not for being important.

Testimony of Ninoy Aquino, Part 2

We should praise God from little to great things that he provided for us.
