dangerous dog

Once, a dog lost his way deep into the jungle. He almost fainted to see a lion coming straight to him at a very near distant. "I will be dead today" , thought he.

There were some bones lying over there. He turned his back towards lion and started pretending as if he is eating those bones. When lion was very close to him he cried out loudly
"Wow, what fun eating a lion, by chance if I can get another one, it will be a treat".

Lion thought "What a dangerous dog!!!!! He kills lions and eats it. Let me run away from here and save my life".

Now, there was a Monkey hiding on the tree there watching the entire show. He thought "It's a good chance to tell the truth to the lion. Lion will become my friend and I will not have to run saving my life from him".

He just ran away to inform the entire episode to Lion. The dog had seen him going and quickly understood the ploy.

Both lion and monkey were coming back to the dog and the lion was furious. When lion was very close to him he again cried out loudly "It has been half an hour and yet that stupid monkey can't fetch another
lion??!!!!"


Morale: "It is by presence of mind in untried emergencies that the native metal of person is tested."

Love is the new religion

On the surface of the world right now there is war and violence and things seem dark. But calmly and quietly, at the same time, something else is happening underground. An inner revolution is taking place and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.It is a silent revolution. From the inside out, from the ground up.

You won't see us on the T.V.
You won't read about us in the newspaper
You won't hear about us on the radio

We don't seek any glory
We don't wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes
Colors and styles

Most of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes in every country
and culture of the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys, in farms and
villages, tribes and remote islands

You could pass by one of us on the street and not even notice
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done

Occasionally we spot each other in the street
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way so no one will notice.

During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront, at night is where the real work
takes place

Some call us the 'Conscious Army'
We are slowly creating a new world with the
power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy
Our orders from the Central Command
The Spiritual Intelligence Agency

We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking:
Poems
Hugs
Music
Photography
Movies
Kind words
Smiles
Meditation and prayer
Dance
Social activism
Websites
Blogs
Random acts of kindness

Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it...entire tectonic plates shall be moved
in the centuries to come

Love is the new religion of the 21st century
You don't have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings

Be the change you want to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you

We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have....
The door is open
All are welcome...

Love returns

"The more you love, the more love you are given to love with.”

Just like the lyrics of the song, “looking for love in all the wrong places,” oftentimes we do the same. We seek love and we don’t find it, because we are not only looking in the wrong places, we also aren’t giving love out.

Sometimes we can need to be loved so much that we turn others away. We become needy and emotional and our behavior reeks of that which does not attract, but rather repels. Most people are not attracted to needy people.

When we discover a healthy way of giving love we will find ourselves almost overwhelmed by what we receive in return. We may not immediately find the romantic love we seek, but we also discover that we just don’t need it as much as we thought because we are loved, and we have learned self-love as well.

Not only do we feel loved we are able to love others in unselfish ways, in actions that are giving and not self-seeking. And the Universe gives us back the love we gave in larger doses than we meted out.

We each have a need to feel plugged into something. Some of us have lost our parents and may not have any living family. Some may have family that is unable to show love and we need to feel loved. It’s important to our well-being to find a place to share our love with others. There are always options. Volunteering, joining a church or recovery group, or any number of places where there are others who need love just as we do.

Once we are able to give love and find its return life becomes more full and joyous and it alters our behavior to stop seeking because we have found.

Love returns to us in greater amounts than we give, but we must give first.

I love this story


A woman was waiting at an airport one night,
With several long hours before her flight.
She hunted for a book in the airport shops.
Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.

She was engrossed in her book but happened to see,
That the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be.
Grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between,
Which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene.

So she munched the cookies and watched the clock,
As the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock.
She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by,
Thinking, “If I wasn’t so nice, I would blacken his eye.”

With each cookie she took, he took one too,
When only one was left, she wondered what he would do.
With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh,
He took the last cookie and broke it in half.

He offered her half, as he ate the other,
She snatched it from him and thought… oooh, brother.
This guy has some nerve and he’s also rude,
Why he didn’t even show any gratitude!

She had never known when she had been so galled,
And sighed with relief when her flight was called.
She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate,
Refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate.

She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat,
Then she sought her book, which was almost complete.
As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise,
There was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes.

If mine are here, she moaned in despair,
The others were his, and he tried to share.
Too late to apologize, she realized with grief,
That she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief.

Do you untie knots?

A little boy, having missed his bus because of the tangled shoe strings, looked at the nearby man with tear-filled eyes and asked "Do You Untie Knots?"
"Yes" Said the man.
God says the same.

Life gets tangled.
People mess up.
We never outgrow the urge to look up and say "Help?"

No matter how little or big the knot,
God is always saying, "Yes", to our request.
And He is able to do more than we can imagine when we leave the knots in His hands.

I say go for it, but be careful!

A young woman in southern China has partially lost her hearing after her boyfriend ruptured her eardrum during an excessively passionate kiss, local media reports.

The 20-something girl from Zhuhai, in southern Guangdong province, went to hospital completely deaf in her left ear, the China Daily said, citing a report in a local newspaper.

"The kiss reduced pressure in the mouth, pulled the eardrum out and caused the breakdown of the ear," the paper quoted a doctor surnamed Li from the hospital as saying.

The woman's hearing would likely return to normal after about two months, Li said.

"While kissing is normally very safe, doctors advise people to proceed with caution," the paper said.

Sometimes moms have to be dads

Because the dads didn't want the kids they had
Some had reasons they couldn't explain
Others just wanted to play silly games
Children's life are at great stake
And they are never a mistake
So if the dads don't step up to the plate
It's up to the mom's to fill his place
A mom's love will always endure
This is one thing I know for sure
Moms never speak bad of their dads
Just do the very best you can
HOLD ON TO GOD'S UNCHANGING HANDS
HE WILL TEACH WHAT TO DO
TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN AND BRING YOU THROUGH!

God has a plan for you!

It doesn't matter where you are or what's going on in life, God loves you and has not forgotten you. He is not holding your past mistakes against you. He has a plan for you and it is a good plan, a plan to give you hope and a future. You are needed in the earth for such a time as this and there is greatness on the inside of you waiting for you to discover. And, if you "acquaint now yourself with Him [agree with God and show yourself to be conformed to His will] and be at peace; by that [you shall prosper and great] good shall come to you (Job 22:21)

I want people to know that they are not alone, that Jesus never leaves them. He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Finally, I want to let them know that when they spend time with the Lord, He'll comfort them, encourage and strengthen them, and revelation knowledge and the anointing will flow to and through them. So, in a nutshell, I want them to be encouraged and inspired to find and fulfill the will of God for their lives.


With love,

Your friend

Encouragement For Women

I love to encourage and inspire women, affirming them and reminding them that they are a unique gift to the world created by an awesome and loving God.

He has empowered them with strength like an army and true unfading beauty. This strength and beauty is sometimes hid under hurts and wounds but it is still there. I want to encourage women all over the world to share this strength and beauty in the midst of their storms, to lift up someone else in their place of wilderness. As you plant seeds of healing in someone else's life, you will in turn be lift above your circumstances and the two of you will be on a path to great healing.

I believe that we can change the world one hurt at a time. One seed of healing can produce a forest of restoration! Together we can uncover the hidden treasure that lies within.

Take sometime today to listen to "the quiet" you'll hear the peace of God that passes all understanding. It is "A secret place" that is available to you every day.

the perfect couple

Once upon a time, a perfect man and a perfect woman met. After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding. Their life together was, of course, perfect.

One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve, this perfect couple was driving their perfect car (a Grand Caravan) along a winding road when they noticed someone at the side of the road in distress. Being the perfect couple, they stopped to help. There stood Santa Claus, with a huge bundle of toys.

Not wanting to disappoint any children on the eve of Christmas, the perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys into their vehicle.

Soon they were driving along delivering toys. Unfortunately, the driving conditions deteriorated, and the perfect couple and Santa Claus had an accident. Only one of them survived the accident. The question is: Who was the survivor? Scroll down for the answer.


















The perfect woman survived. She's the only one that existed in the first place. Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus and no such thing as a perfect man.

***Women stop here. That is the end of the joke.
***Men keep scrolling











So, if there is no perfect man and no Santa Claus, the perfect woman must have been driving, and that explains why there was a car accident.


By the way, if you're a woman and you're reading this, this illustrates another point: Why we women never listen?

The Will Of Love…

The will of the spirit of a person can equal a lifetime of effort and energy. So then, when one’s will is fastened on Love, it can be as powerful as a rolling wave in a raging sea..

It is God’s will to Love you, and if you would attach yourself to that aspect of God’s will, not all the troubles in the world would be able to detach you from it (Romans 8:38-39 KJV).

Before you slap your own face, kiss your hand first and wish Love to yourself. You will hardly feel your slap. Blaming yourself is a slap, so Love yourself first as the Scriptures say: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself” (compare Matthew 22:39 KJV). Such Love for yourself is the beginning of forgiveness for others.

Turn a light on in your heart and check your wills that furnish your heart. The will to endure for what and who you Love can turn worlds around. If something is worth really believing, then that something is worth breathing for and living for.

The will of Love that says “no” to interference can be like a high wall of rock. With such a gift, you hold the keys; so don’t give those keys away or loan them out. They belong to you because they are a part of your heart’s territory.

The persistence of the will has overcoming power, and even the satans know…that a person’s will can even overcome fire.

The will is like a flower not visited that keeps blooming beyond its time and giving out its colors and scents until the honey bees come to visit it.

The will is so determined sometimes, that it can even bend steel or draw rain even when there are no clouds in the sky.

Many people never get to know or understand their will or anyone else ’s will or God’s will because they don’t give the will a chance.

Give Love its time and chance, and you will discover the wishes of God. The will of Love is a wonderful thing. There is “no cure for loneliness but Love” (Psalms 25:15-16 NIV), “no cure for impatience but the will” (Hebrews 6:12 NIV).

Pray for a good will and butterflies of Love will come and land on your shoulders.

My will cannot let go of those I love; I Love you…
