"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." – Psalms 118:1. +++ "What can I do for you, Madam?" Abraham Lincoln asked an elderly lady who had been ushered into his office. Placing a covered basket on the table, she said, "Mr. President, I have come here today not to ask any favour for myself or for anyone. I heard that you were very fond of cookies, and I came here to bring you this basket of cookies." Tears trickled down the gaunt face of Lincoln. He said nothing for a moment, then he said, "My good woman, your thoughtful and unselfish deed greatly moves me. Thousands have come into this office since I became President, but you are the first one to come, asking no favour for yourself or somebody else." +++ Did you hear those words Lincoln said? "Your thoughtful and unselfish deed greatly moves me." Do you suppose that if we were to come into the Lord's presence to bring Him something, namely praise and than...

A teacher teaching Maths to six-year-old Brian asked him, “If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?” With a few seconds Brian replied confidently, “Four!”  The dismayed teacher was expecting an effortless correct answer (three). She was disappointed. “May be the child did not listen properly,” she thought.  She repeated, “Brian, listen carefully. It is very simple. You will be able to do it right if you listen carefully. If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?” Brian had seen the disappointment on his teacher’s face. He calculated again on his fingers. But within him he was also searching for the answer that will make his teacher happy. This time hesitatingly he replied, “Four...” The disappointment stayed on teacher’s face. She remembered Brian loves strawberries. She thought maybe he doesn’t like apples and that is making him lose focus. This time with exaggerated excitement and twinkling ...

READ and TRY to UNDERSTAND the DEEPER MEANING of THEM.     1). PRAYER is not a "spare wheel" that YOU PULL OUT when IN trouble, but it is a "STEERING WHEEL" that DIRECT the RIGHT PATH THROUGHOUT LIFE.   2). Why is a CAR'S WINDSHIELD so LARGE & the REAR VIEW MIRROR so small? BECAUSE our PAST is NOT as IMPORTANT as OUR FUTURE. So, LOOK AHEAD and MOVE ON.  3). FRIENDSHIP is like a BOOK. It takes a FEW SECONDS to BURN, but it TAKES YEARS to WRITE.   4). All THINGS in LIFE are TEMPORARY. If they are GOING WELL, ENJOY them, they WILL NOT LAST FOREVER. If they are going wrong, don't WORRY, THEY CAN'T LAST LONG EITHER.  5). Old FRIENDS are GOLD! NEW friends are DIAMONDS! If you GET a DIAMOND, DON'T FORGET the GOLD! To HOLD a DIAMOND, you ALWAYS NEED a BASE of GOLD!  6). Often when WE LOSE HOPE and THINK this is the END, GOD SMILES from ABOVE and SAYS, "RELAX, SWEETHEART; it's JUST a BEND, NOT THE END!"  7). When GOD SOLVES your PROBLEMS, yo...

"Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.” – Colossians 4:6. +++ Once a man had a tough day at the office when everything imaginable had gone wrong. To make matters worse, he had left the office late and was trying to rush – but hit every red light on the way home. As he was about to enter the house, he heard a noise in the garage. He entered, and saw his 3-year-old daughter Amy with an open Fevicol jar. She looked up and said, "Hi Dad! Did you have a good day?" The man surveyed the situation and blew up: "Amy! I've told you not to touch that Fevicol jar if it gets all over the floor – that stuff's impossible to clean up. And look, you have already dropped some of it on the floor. You're responsible for all this little girl and I’m going to deal with you once I change.” Amy just looked at her dad for a second, then stood up, put her arms out, and hugged him. "Dad...

Do you know what the most common craving is among pregnant women? (I'm sure this is factual.) The most common craving among pregnant women is not spicy food, pickles or ice cream. Not even close. It is for Men to get pregnant. Why? Because then they would know what it is like. Then they might be more patient. What most women need during times of cravings, discomfort, swollen ankles and morning sickness is...understanding. Much of our conflict is the result of Misunderstanding. I hope this message encourages and inspires your heart to look past any imperfections that you may find in others and know that just as you would seek for another chance, so must we allow others that same opportunity. +++ As a new bride, one woman moved into the small home on her husband's ranch in the mountains. She put a shoe box on a shelf in her closet and asked her husband never to touch it. For 50 years he left the box alone, until his life partner was old and dying. One day when he was putting thei...

A boy tried to flag him down. The man didn't want to get involved, so pretended he didn't see the child. As he slowed for a red traffic light, he heard a loud crash. Someone had thrown a brick at his car, denting the trunk. The man stopped, jumped out of his car and grabbed the boy that threw the brick. "You juvenile delinquent!" he yelled. "You'll pay for this or go to jail!" "I'm sorry, mister," the boy cried. "My mom's lying on the floor in our apartment. I think she's dying. Our phone's been cut off and I've been trying for ten minutes to get someone to stop. I didn't know what else to do! Take me to jail, but please, call a doctor for my mom first." The man was fille...
