Meaningless Goals
A farmer had a dog who used to wait by the roadside for vehicles to come. As soon as one came, he would run down the road, barking and trying to overtake the car. One day the farmer’s neighbor asked the farmer, “Do you think the dog is ever going to overtake those vehicles?” The farmer replied, “That is not what bothers me. What bothers me is what he would do if he ever caught one.”
Many people in life behave like that dog who is pursuing meaningless goals.
God smiled at me just this morning thru the rising sunrays. I’m sharing the same courtesy with you by sending you a warm smile that your heart can feel even without seeing...Have a great day rain or shine...Let a umbrella be your smile .. Creator Blessings.. Carol Anne.. x
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! This is the one night of the year when it's believed that the veil between the spirit world and that of mere mortals is so thin that ghosts and spirits can walk among us and we can actually see them. For this and other reasons, many people leave food outside their houses in the hopes that it will nourish and nurture the spirits of their dear departed loved ones. Some traditions also say that we should bury apples in the garden to feed the souls of any loved ones who have passed over within the last year. But my favorite Halloween tradition of all (besides grabbing the full size Milky Way from my son's usually huge haul) is to stand before a mirror anytime after sunset in order to make a secret wish. You can do the same. While staring into the mirror, actually try to 'see' the fulfillment of your wish as you silently whisper what it is to the spirits around you. Your wish should come true in some fashion before this same time next year. But just to make sure, put away the gummies and the gumballs and grab another apple. Legend tells us that eating an apple after midnight on All Halloweens Eve will bring bunches of fortune and bushels of luck in the weeks and months to come! Now, there's a treat I'll take anytime!
Never be discouraged. Just rethink and reevaluate your life. While you do, expect your miracle where and when you least expect it.
Good Morning..
Sunday Blessings
Inspirational short story with moral :Trust in God
A MAN JUST GOT MARRIED AND WAS RETURNING HOME WITH HIS WIFE. THEY WERE CROSSING A LAKE IN A BOAT, WHEN SUDDENLY A GREAT STORM AROSE. THE MAN WAS A WARRIOR, BUT THE WOMAN BECAME VERY MUCH AFRAID BECAUSE IT SEEMED ALMOST HOPELESS:
THE BOAT WAS SMALL AND THE STORM WAS REALLY HUGE, AND ANY MOMENT THEY WERE GOING TO BE DROWNED. BUT THE MAN SAT SILENTLY, CALM AND QUIET, AS IF NOTHING WAS HAPPENING.
THE WOMAN WAS TREMBLING AND SHE SAID, “ARE YOU NOT AFRAID ?”. THIS MAY BE OUR LAST MOMENT OF LIFE! IT DOESN’T SEEM THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO REACH THE OTHER SHORE. ONLY SOME MIRACLE CAN SAVE US; OTHERWISE DEATH IS CERTAIN. ARE YOU NOT AFRAID? ARE YOU MAD OR SOMETHING? ARE YOU A STONE OR SOMETHING?
THE MAN LAUGHED AND TOOK THE SWORD OUT OF ITS SHEATH. THE WOMAN WAS EVEN MORE PUZZLED: WHAT HE WAS DOING? THEN HE BROUGHT THE NAKED SWORD CLOSE TO THE WOMAN’S NECK, SO CLOSE THAT JUST A SMALL GAP WAS THERE, IT WAS ALMOST TOUCHING HER NECK.
HE SAID,” ARE YOU AFRAID ?”
SHE STARTED TO LAUGH AND SAID,” WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID ?,IF THE SWORD IS IN YOUR HANDS, WHY I SHOULD BE AFRAID? I KNOW YOU LOVE ME.
” HE PUT THE SWORD BACK AND SAID, THIS IS MY ANSWER”. I KNOW GOD LOVES ME, AND THE STORM IS IN HIS HANDS
SO WHATSOEVER IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS GOING TO BE GOOD. IF WE SURVIVE, GOOD; IF WE DON’T SURVIVE, GOOD ,BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS IN HIS HANDS AND HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING WRONG.
Moral: Develop Trust. This is the trust which one needs to imbibe. and which is capable of transforming your whole life. Any less won’t do!
SO WHATSOEVER IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS GOING TO BE GOOD. IF WE SURVIVE, GOOD; IF WE DON’T SURVIVE, GOOD ,BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS IN HIS HANDS AND HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING WRONG.
