PRAYER

Dear Lord, I thank You for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to You. I ask now for Your forgiveness.

Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. And it's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.

I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak... Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way.

I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.I pray for those who don't know You intimately.I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with others.I pray for those that don't believe. But I thank You that I believe.
I believe that God changes people and God changes things.I pray for all my sisters and brothers.
For each and every family member in their households.I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it.

******************
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
A small rabbit
saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like
you and do nothing
all day long?"
The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit
sat on the ground
below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox
appeared, jumped
on the rabbit and ate it.

Management Lesson
-----------------
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting
very, very high up.

Lesson Number : 2
******************
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It
was so cold, the bird
froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While
it was lying there,
a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the
frozen bird lay there
in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how
warm it was. The dung
was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm
and happy, and soon
began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird
singing and came to
investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered
the bird under the
pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate
him!

Lesson Number : 3
******************
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to
be able to get to the
top of that tree," sighed the turkey, but I haven't
got the energy.
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my
droppings?" replied the bull.
"They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked
at a lump of dung and
found that it actually gave him enough strength to
reach the first branch
of the tree. The next day, after eating some more
dung, he reached the
second branch. Finally after a fortnight, there he
was proudly perched at
the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by
a farmer, who shot
the turkey out of the tree.

Management Lesson

Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep
you there.

Power of Good Deed.

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.

He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.

Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe you?"

You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."

He said . "Then I thank you from my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Many year's later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.

Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.

Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.

Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once.

He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won.

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words ...

"Paid in full with one glass of milk"

(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, God, that Your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands."

There's a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the waters comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what life is all about?

What would you do if every time you wanted someone they would never be there?

What would you do if for every moment you were truly happy there would be 10 moments of sadness?

What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow?

So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a difference in my life.

I look up to you, respect you, and truly cherish you.

Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are, and send it to the person who sent it to you.

Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will.

Remember, everyone needs a friend; someday you might feel like you have NO FRIENDS at all, just remember this words and take comfort in knowing somebody out there cares about you and always will.

I'll Always Be There

In times of trouble,

In times of need,

If you are feeling SAD,

You can count on me.

I will give you a wink,

Until you smile,

give you a hug,

And stand by your side.

I'll be there for you till the end,

I'll always and forever, be your friend!
