Which One to Choose?

Stumbled on this so nice article about love ... just want to share. Have you proved the following? --- I might come across the situation which I have to choose giving my heart to someone among some others who also love me. Frankly saying it was very difficult to decide considering I find all man qualities that i am looking for on them. Wish I have special magic which able me to combine them into one man figure...of course it was a very silly impossible thinking. But later on, someone taught me to ask myself this question and answer it honestly. "When you are happy, which man would you want to share your happiness with?" The one you think of is someone you love. "When you are sad, which man you want to share your burden with?" The one you think of is also someone you love. If I think of the same man when I am happy & sad, that's the most perfect. But if I don't think of the same man, I was being advised to chose the one I am willing to share my sadness wi...

Prayer

I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do. I had to hurry and get to work For bills would soon be due. So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, And jumped up off my knees My Christian duty was now done My soul could rest at ease. All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer. No time to speak of Christ to friends, They'd laugh at me I'd fear. No time, no time, too much to do, That was my constant cry, No time to give to souls in need But at last the time, the time to die. I went before the Lord,! ! I came, I stood with downcast eyes.. For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life. God looked into his book and said "Your name I cannot find.. I once was going to write it down... But never found the time" Easy vs. Hard Why is it so hard to tell the truth but Yet so easy to tell a lie? Why are we so sleepy in church but Right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up? Why is it so hard to talk about God but yet so easy to talk about nasty s...

TO MEET SUCH A MAN

Dear friends, Just want to share this wonderful story below which I've just received from a dear friend (in Singapore) who received it from a friend in Yangon. May it bless your hearts just like it has blessed mine. One day we will all meet in the New Jerusalem. God bless, ------ I sat, with two friends, in the picture window of a quaint restaurant just off the corner of the town-square. The food and the company were both especially good that day. As we talked, my attention was drawn outside, across the street. There, walking into town, was a man who appeared to be carrying all his worldly goods on his back. He was carrying, a well-worn sign that read, "I will work for food." My heart sank. I brought him to the attention of my friends and noticed that others around us had stopped eating to focus on him. Heads moved in a mixture of sadness and disbelief. We continued with our meal, but his image lingered in my mind. We finished our meal and went our separate ways. I had er...

God's Boxes

Image
I have in my hands two boxes, Which God gave me to hold. He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold." I heeded His words, and in the two boxes, Both my joys and sorrows I stored, But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as light as before. With curiosity, I opened the black, I wanted to find out why, And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole, Which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to God, and mused, "I wonder where my sorrows could be!" He smiled a gentle smile and said, "My child, they're all here with me.." I asked God, why He gave me the boxes, Why the gold and the black with the hole? "My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, The black is for you to let go." We should consider all of our friends a blessing. Send this to a friend today just to let them know you are thinking of them and that they are a joy in your life. A ball is a circle, no beginning, no en...

Dangerous Cooking Habits - part I

Image
You are what you eat. We eat food everyday every time, it's necessary to take care and choose healthy food. Some bad habits about food we must avoided are as below: ---- Too much salt An excess of sodium in a diet can raise blood pressure. That alone may cause numerous other conditions, some of which have permanent consequences. The American Heart Association recommends 2.4 grams of salt per day. More than that may lead to strokes and kidney problems. Salt hardens the arteries, so if a person happens to have high cholesterol, the problem can compound. Getting off the habit of salty food can also be frustrating; some claim that salt is addictive (ever see people who put salt on their food before tasting it?), so start early and avoid the "white stuff." Alzheimer's-causing foods The origins of Alzheimer's disease are still poorly understood, though one thing is certain -- prevention can start early. Studies are sketchy on the matter but here is what scientists have ...

The Greatest Pain in Life

*** Received from a friend -- wow what a rich girl I am, having so many friends who care about me, thank you my friends *** ------- The greatest pain in life is not to die, but to be ignored. To lose the person you love so much to another who doesn’t care at all. To have someone you care so about so much throw a party… and not tell you about it. When your favorite person on earth neglects to invite you to his graduation. To have people think that you don’t care. The greatest pain in life, is not to die, but to be forgotten. To be left in the dust after another’s great achievement. To never get a call from a friend, just saying “hi”. When you show someone your innermost thoughts and they laugh in your face. For friends to always be too busy to console you when you need someone to lift your spirits. When it seems like the only person who cares about you, is you. Life is full of pain, but does it ever get better? Will people ever care about each other, and make time for those who are in n...

1960

*** This article I got from my friend. I am blessed and want to share with you, may God bless abundantly as what He has done for me day by day. *** --------- In 1960, I woke up one morning with six hungry babies and just 75 cents in my pocket. Their father was gone. The boys ranged from 3 months to 7 years; their sister was 2. Their Dad had never been much more than a presence they feared. Whenever they heard his tires crunch on the gravel driveway they would scramble to hide under their beds. He did manage to leave $15 a week to buy groceries. Now that he had decided to leave, there would be no more beat-ings, but no food either. If there was a welfare system in effect in southern Indiana at that time, I certainly knew nothing about it. I scrubbed the kids until they looked brand new and then put on my best homemade dress, loaded them into the rusty old '51 Chevy and drove off to find a job. The seven of us went to every factory, store and restaurant in our small town. No luck. T...

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON

Image
**Got this from my friend too, not my creation** ------- People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn ha...

Sleep late or skipping breakfast? Must read

I got this from my friend, hope this will be useful for you. -------- Good rest and sound sleep is very Important... if u don't sleep well, the toxic in your body will accumulate.. Affecting your health and your mood... The main causes of liver damage are: 1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are the main cause. 2. Not urinating in the morning. 3. Too much eating. 4. Skipping breakfast. 5. Consuming too much medication. 6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener. 7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil.

Consuming overly done foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintai...

The Most Dangerous Potato Chips to Eat

Image
I got this warning from my friend this morning. I’m not a junk food fan, but potato is my favorite food. Fried potato ie French fries or home made fries. In Indonesian culinary there is perkedel, made from potato. It’s very delicious. I like potato chips also, even not often and I can live without it. Just, a few months ago I ate 3 packs of Lays potato chips because I was with my friends at that time and everybody were eating some junk food. Ooo, it’s disappoint me that I have consumed ‘unhealty’ potato chips. Here is the article included Dr. Joseph Mercola’s comment, source : You can check the source at here Public knowledge of the serious dangers found in potato chips may finally be surfacing. The California-based Environmental Law Foundation (ELF) has filed notices with the state's attorney general against potato chip manufacturers: # Lay's potato chip maker PepsiCo Inc. # Pringles maker Proctor & Gamble Co. # Cape Cod potato chip parent Lance Inc. # Kettle Chips maker ...
