Please
read this, it really is beautiful, and the way things are going in the
World today, I felt that we all need a little beautiful, a little
reminder...
---------------
As
you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would talk to
me,
even
if it was just a few
words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened
in
your life yesterday.
But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to
wear. When you ran
around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes
for you to stop and
say hello, but you were to busy.
At one point you had to wait, fifteen minutes with nothing to do except
sit in a chair. Then
I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me,
but you ran to the phone
and called a friend to get the latest gossip instead.
I watched patiently all day long. With all your activities I guess you
were too busy to say
anything to me. I noticed that before lunch you looked
around, maybe you felt embarrassed
to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You glanced
three or four tables over
and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before
they ate, but you didn't.
That's okay. There is still more time left, and I hope that you
will talk to me yet.
You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do.
After a few of them were done,
you turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV or not, just
about anything goes there and
you spend lot of time each day in front of it not thinking about
anything, just enjoying the show.
I waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal,
but again you didn't talk to me. Bedtime I guess you felt too
tired. After you said good night to your family you plopped into
bed
and fell asleep in no time.
That's okay because you may not realize that I am always there for
you. I've got patience,
more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to
be patient with others as well.
I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or
thought or a thankful part of
your heart. It is hard to have an one-sided conversation.
Well, you are getting up once again. And once again I will wait,
with nothing but love for you.
Hoping that today you will give me some time.
Have a nice day!
Your friend,
GOD
Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me," I will be ashamed of
you before my Father."
Not ashamed? Pass this on......only if
you mean it.
"Why is it that if I talk to GOD, I'm said to be praying,
But if GOD talks to me, I'm said to be delusional?" --
A
Letter Addressed to God
A letter written in a childish scrawl came to the post office addressed to "God". A postal employee, not knowing exactly what to do with the letter, opened it and read: "Dear God, my name is Jimmy. I am 6 years old. My father is dead and my Mom is having a hard time raising me and my sister. Would you please send us $500?" The postal employee was touched. He showed the letter to his fellow workers and all decided to kick in a few dollars each and send it to the family. They were able to raise $300.
A couple of weeks later the same post office received a second letter addressed to God. The boy thanked God for the recent infusion of cash, but ended with this request: "Next time would you send the money directly to us? If you send it through the post office they deduct $200."
Thank
you Rania Atris

When the Winds Blow
When the Winds Blow
Years ago a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the ocean, wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops. As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady stream of refusals.
Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached the farmer. “Are you a good farmhand?” the farmer asked him.
“Well, I can sleep when the wind blows,” answered the little man.
Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, hired him. The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man’s work.
Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand’s sleeping quarters. He shook the little man and yelled, “Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!”
The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, “No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows.”
Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarpaulins. The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, and the doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down. Nothing could blow away.
The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew.
When you’re prepared, spiritually, mentally, and physically, you have nothing to fear. Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life? The hired hand in the story was able to sleep because he had secured the farm against the storm.
We with faith secure ourselves against the storms of life by putting our trust in the God, Our Prophet and his Ahlulbyate, We don’t need to understand, we just need to hold His hand to be secure in the midst of the storms.
Sleep well!
