Conversation with God

* I asked God to take away my pain.
* God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
* I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
* God said, No. Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.
* I asked God to grant me patience.
* God said, No.
* Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is earned.
* I asked God to give me happiness.
* God said, No. I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.
* I asked God to spare me pain.
* God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
* I asked God to make my spirit grow.
* God said, No.You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
* I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
* God said, No. I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.
* I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me.

Small Truth To Make Life 100%

If

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is equal to

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Hard Work:

H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

Knowledge:

K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

Love:

L+O+V+E
12+15+22+5 = 54%

Luck:

L+U+C+K
12+21+3+11 = 47%

( don't most of us think this is the most important ??? )

Then what makes 100% ?

Money: ………………………….... NO ! ! !

M+O+N+E+Y
13+15+14+5+25 = 72%

Leadership: ………………………... NO ! ! !

L+E+A+D+E+R+S+H+I+P
12+5+1+4+5+18+19+9+16 = 89%


Every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps change our attitude.
To go to the top,

to that 100% ,

what we really need to go further... a bit more...

ATTITUDE

A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

I Wish For You...

Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart,
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Faith so that you can believe,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
And love to complete your life.

A Labyrinth Prayer

I weave a silence on my lips,
I weave a silence into my mind,
I weave a silence within my heart.

I close my eyes to distractions,
I close my eyes to attentions,
I close my eyes to temptations.

Calm me, O Lord, as you stilled the storm,
Still me, Lord, keep me from harm.
Let all the tumult within me cease.
Enfold me, Lord, in your peace.
