As we look forward to the new year 2017, let's reflect on these:<br />
<br />
<br />
Learn to ignore and overlook many things if you truly want happiness in life because the easiest way to a miserable life is to think that everybody is talking about you.<br />
<br />
Never allow anyone to steal your joy from you.<br />
<br />
What people say behind your back is none of your business as long as you are true to yourself. Never worry yourself about that.<br />
<br />
Sometimes minding your own business does not keep people out of your business.<br />
<br />
No matter your situation in life people will always talk. You can never stop people from talking about you, what you can do is to stop giving them what to talk about.<br />
<br />
There is a time limit for every rumor in life. Never allow freelance broadcasters put your life on hold. Do what makes you happy. Anyone who cannot feel your pain, has no right to judge you in life. Seventy percent of those who talk bad about you behind your back, wish to be like you.<br />
<br />
When people can't be like you they try to bring you down and condemn what you have. Those without money will sarcastically say money is not everything in life. (Is poverty anything?)<br />
<br />
Never allow anyone to put you in a position of depression and self pity in life. Those whose life has no joy will always find every means to remove happiness from other people's life.<br />
<br />
If there is the GRACE of GOD in your life, then enemies are inevitable. If no one has ever gossiped or talked bad about you, it means nothing good has ever happened to you.<br />
<br />
Never feel bad when old friends become new enemies. They are just tired of pretending to be friends.<br />
<br />
Never allow the opinions of people who didn't see your tears stop your laughter in life. You don't owe anybody an explanation to be happy.<br />
<br />
Never see yourself through the eyes of those who don't value you.<br />
To be beautiful means to be yourself. To stand out is to be out-standing. You do not need to be accepted by others. You just need to accept yourself.<br />
<br />
Never beg anyone to accept you for who you are. Anything you acquire through begging will require begging to maintain or retain.<br />
<br />
Be humble but selective. Being selective doesn't mean you are arrogant or proud. It simply means you know your worth. If you are conscious of your personality avoid too much familiarity.<br />
<br />
Sometimes when you treat people too much like celebrities, they end up treating you like an ordinary person. You are equally important.<br />
<br />
Never downgrade yourself while trying to upgrade anybody in life. Anyone who sees you like an option doesn't deserve to be a priority in your life.<br />
<br />
The dream of a fool is for everybody to become a bloody fool like himself. Avoid negative people if you have a dream. Those without mission will say your vision is just an illusion.<br />
<br />
Negative minds will never give you a positive life. Anyone who is always reminding you about what is wrong with you has a personal problem which he/she wants to take out on you.<br />
<br />
Most people spend half of their entire life analysing the faults in other people's life, when their own lives need urgent repairs.<br />
<br />
Never worry yourself about enemies and friends, because everybody in your life will eventually fall into one of the two categories.<br />
<br />
Some will hate you and some will love you. Loving you or hating you are both in your favour. When people love you, you live peacefully and happily in their hearts, and when people hate you, you become the landlord in their head living painfully in their brain everyday and giving them sleepless nights.<br />
<br />
The best awaits you in 2017</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Today, I reflect upon the
day of my Birth and the Journey thus far in my earthly mission; the purpose of
my birth and the essence of my existence in this beautiful World with its
seeming hurdles and conquests. I come to realise that indeed, LIFE IS FULL OF
BEGININIGS.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are presented every day
and every hour to every person. Most beginnings are small and appear trivial
and insignificant, but in reality they are the most important things in Life. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In the material Word, see
how everything proceeds from small beginnings. The mightiest river is at first
a rivulet over which the grasshoppers could leap; the great flood commences
with a few drops of rain; the sturdy oak, that hat has endured the storms of a
thousand winters, was once an acorn.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In the Spiritual World,
consider how the greatest things proceed from smallest beginnings. A simple
Word from God brought forth light to a dark and void world; He created heaven
and earth; man and all creatures of the world; from one man, came generations
born and yet to be born. Indeed, a word from God brought forth me, a being full
of Life and inherent potentials. You are definitely not left out; you a product
of a wonderful beginning, created in the Image and likeness of God.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A light fancy may be the inception of a
wonderful invention or an immortal work of art; a spoken sentence may turn the
tide of history; a pure though entertained may lead to the exercise of a
world-wide regenerative power. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Have
you yet discovered the vast importance of beginnings? Do you really know what
is involved in a beginning? Do you know the number of beginnings you are continuously
making and do you realise their full importance?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">A beginning is a cause, and
as such it must be followed by an effect or a train of effects and the effect
will be of the same nature as the cause. A beginning also presupposes an
ending, a consummation, achievement, or goal. A gate leads to a path, and a
path to some destination; so a beginning leads to results, and results lead to
completion. Indeed, there are right beginnings and wrong beginnings followed by
effects of a like nature.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">If your beginnings were
right, pray for the Grace to keep it up and to persevere till the end. However,
do not dwell upon the sins and mistakes of yesterday so exclusively as to have
no energy and mind left for living rightly today, and do not think that the
sins of yesterday can prevent you from living aright today. Begin today right
with the world, and aided by the accumulated experiences of all your past days,
live it better than your previous days; but you cannot possibly live it better
unless you begin it better. </span></div>

but don't seem to get to our designated mark or point. Worst still, we seem to
be distracted and held down by the noises around us. It seems more
like one step forward and two step backward. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span></div>

<b>Never will I pray for the material things of the world. I am not calling to a servant to bring me good. I am not ordering an innkeeper to provide me with room. Never will I seek delivery of gold, love, good health, petty victories, fame, success, or happiness. Only for guidance will I pray, that I may be shown the way to acquire these things, and my prayer will always be answered. </b><br />
<b>The guidance I seek may come, or the guidance I seek may not come, but are not both of these an answer? If a child seeks bread from his father and it is not forthcoming has not the father answered? </b><br />
<br />
<b>I will pray for guidance, and I will pray in this manner – </b> <br />
<br />
Oh creator of all things, help me. For this day I go out into the world naked and alone, and without your hand to guide me I will wander far from the path which leads to success and happiness. <br />
•I ask not for gold or garments or even opportunities equal to my ability; instead, guide me so that I may acquire ability equal to my opportunities. <br />
• You have taught the lion and the eagle how to hunt and prosper with teeth and claw. Teach me how to hunt with words and prosper with love so that I may be a lion among men and an eagle in the market place. <br />
• Help me to remain humble through obstacles and failures; yet hide not from mine eyes the prize that will come with victory. <br />
• Assign me tasks to which others have failed; yet guide me to pluck the seeds of success from their failures. Confront me with fears that will temper my spirit; yet endow me with courage to laugh at my misgivings. <br />
• Spare me sufficient days to reach my goals; yet help me to live this day as though it be my last. <br />
• Guide me in my words that they may bear fruit; yet silence me from gossip that none be maligned. <br />
• Discipline me in the habit of trying and trying again; yet show me the way to make use of the law of averages. Favor me with alertness to recognize opportunity; yet endow me with patience which will concentrate my strength. <br />
• Bathe me in good habits that the bad ones may drown; yet grant me compassion for weakness in others. Suffer me to know that all things shall pass; yet help me to count my blessings today. <br />
• Expose me to hate so it not be a stranger; yet fill my cup with love to turn strangers into friends. <br />
• But all these things be only if thy will. I am a small and a lonely grape clutching the vine yet though hast made me different from all others. Verily, there must be a special place for me. Help me. Show me the way. <br />
• Let me become all you planned for me when my seed was planted and selected by you to sprout in the vineyard of the world. <br />
Help this humble man.<br />
Guide me, God<br />

Valentine's<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>Day, better known as simply Valentine's Day, is the annual
commemoration of love celebrated on February 14.<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;"></span></span>Valentine's Day was created by
Pope Gelasius I in 500 AD to honor the Christian martyrs named Valentine. The

<span style="color: black;">Catholic Pope Gelasius established St. Valentine’s Day in 496. It
is based on the legend of St. Valentine, a Christian priest during the reign of
the Roman Emperor Claudius II. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;"> Claudius, called Claudius the Cruel, was unhappy
that so few young men were showing up for his wars and decided they weren’t
coming to fight because they didn’t want to leave their wives and girlfriends.
To remedy the situation, he announced a ban on marriage.</span><span style="color: #555555;"></span></span></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.75pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;">Claudius was also busy persecuting
Christians. St Valentine, a Christian priest, thought the marriage ban
ridiculous and continued to perform secret marriages and also worked to help
Christians escape persecution.</span><span style="color: #555555;"></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;">Claudius soon found the renegade
priest and threw him in prison. While in prison, Valentine converted his jailer
to Christianity after restoring the sight of the man’s blind daughter. One
version of the story has St. Valentine then falling in love with Julia, the
jailer’s daughter. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Before his execution for refusing to renounce his faith, he
sent Julia a note signed, “From Your Valentine.” The date of his execution and
of the love note was February 14th</span>.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">The saga of the young priest, who was tortured
and killed for trying to protect love and marriage and for his Christian
beliefs, has intrigued writers for centuries. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">Some authors <span style="font-size: small;">say </span>St. Valentine had been demoted among Catholic Saint rankings. Though
he is still a recognized as a Catholic Saint, his demotion was due to the lack
of enough historical records to authenticate all of his deeds.</span></span></span></div>

was first related to romantic love by Geoffrey Chaucer during the Middle Ages.
Until the 19th century handwritten valentines were often given rather than
modern mass-produced greeting cards. It is often celebrated with expressions of
love, and gifts of chocolates, flowers, and cards known as
"valentines." Symbols of modern Valentine's Day include heart shapes,
figures of winged Cupid, and doves.</span></span></span></div>

could significantly alter your decision, what would you call that?</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lying
can be defined into two types: <b>White lies and black lies</b>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A black lie is a
statement we make that we know is false. A white lie is a statement we make
that is not in itself false but that leaves out a ‘significant part of the
truth. The fact that a lie is white does not in itself make it any less of a
lie or any more excusable. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Though
it may seem less reprehensible, the withholding of essential information is the
most common form of lying, and because it may be the more difficult to detect
and confront, it is often even more dangerous than black lying.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">White
lying is considered socially acceptable in many of our relationships because “we do not want to hurt peoples’ feelings”. Yet
we bemoan the fact that our social relationships are generally superficial. Often
times parents feed their children with pap of white lies thus considering as acceptable, loving and beneficent.
Even husbands and wives who have been brave enough to be open with each other often find it difficult to be open
with their children. Usually such withholding and lack of openness is rationalized on the basis of a loving desire to protect their children from unnecessary
worries. Yet more often than not, such ‘protection’ is unsuccessful. The result then is not protection but
deprivation. The children are deprived of the knowledge they might gain about
money, illness, drugs, sex, marriage, their parents, their grandparents and
people in general. This may hinder ideal understanding on how to handle issues relating to such matters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">However,
the selective withholding of one’s opinions should be practiced from time
to time in the world of business or
politics if one is to be welcomed into the council of power. Thus, the
expression of opinions, feelings, ideas and even knowledge must be suppressed
from time to time in certain circumstances in the course of human affairs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What rules then can one
follow if one is dedicated to the truth?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Never speak falsehood.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Bear in mind that the act of withholding the
truth is always potentially a lie, and that in each instance in which the truth
is withheld a significant moral decision is required.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The decision to withhold
the truth should never be based on personal needs, such as a need for power, a
need to be liked or a need to protect one’s ideologies from challenge.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Fourth and
conversely, the decision to withhold the truth must always be based entirely
upon the needs of the person or people
from whom the truth is being withheld.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The assessment of another’s need
is an act of responsibility which is so complex that it can only be executed
wisely when one operates with genuine love for the other.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The primary
factor in the assessment of another’s needs is the assessment of that person’s
capacity to utilize the truth for his or her own spiritual growth. </span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Finally, in
assessing the capacity of another to utilize the truth for personal spiritual
growth, it should be borne in mind that our tendency is generally to
underestimate rather than overestimate this capacity. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ultimately, it will be
discovered that the energy required for self discipline of honesty is far less
than the energy for secretiveness. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The more honest one is, the easier it is to
be continue to be honest, just as the more lies one has told, the more
necessary it is to lie again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">By their
openness, people dedicated to the truth live in the open, and through the exercise
of their courage to live in the open, they become free from fear.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><o:p></o:p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: 18px;">Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><b>“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything". </b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Delaying
gratification is a process of scheduling the pain and pleasure of life in such
a way as to enhance the pleasure by meeting and experiencing the pain first and
getting it over with. It is the only decent way to live. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This
process of scheduling is learned by most children quite early in life,
sometimes as early as age five. For instance, occasionally, a 5 year old when
playing a game with a companion will suggest that the companion take first
turn, so that the child may enjoy his or her turn later. At age 6, children may
start eating their cake first and the frosting last. Through out grammar school
this early capacity to delay gratification is daily exercised, particularly
through the performance of homework. By the age of 12, some children are
already able to sit down on occasion without any parental prompting and
complete their homework before they watch television. By the age of 15, such behavior is expected of the adolescent and is considered normal.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It
becomes clear to their educators at this age, however, that a substantial
number of adolescents fall far short of this norm. while many have a
well-developed capacity to delay gratification, some 15 or 16 years old seem to
have hardly developed this capacity at all; indeed, some seem even to lack the
capacity entirely.<span> </span>These are the problem
students. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Despite average or better intelligence, their grades are poor simply
because they do not work. They skip classes or skip school entirely on the whim
of the moment. They are impulsive, and their impulsiveness spills over into
their social life as well. They get into frequent fights, they become involved
with drugs, they begin to get into trouble with the police. Play now, pay later
is their motto. So the psychologist and psychotherapists are called in. but
most of the time, it seems too late; these adolescents are resentful of any
attempt to intervene in their lifestyle of impulsiveness and even when this
resentment is overcome by warmth and friendliness and a non-judgemental attitude
on the part of the therapist, their impulsiveness is often so severe that it
precludes their participation in the process of psychotherapy in any meaningful
way. They avoid all important and painful issues. So usually the attempt at
intervention fails, and these children drop out of school, only to continue a
pattern of failure that frequently lands them in disastrous marriages, in
accidents, in psychiatric hospitals or in jail.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Why
is this? Why do a majority develop a capacity to delay gratification while a
substantial minority fail, often irretrievably to develop this capacity? </b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
answer is not so absolutely, scientifically known. The role of genetic factors
is unclear. The variables cannot be sufficiently controlled for scientific proof.
But most of the signs rather clearly point to the quality of parenting as the
determinant.</span></div>

is Difficult!</span> -</span></b> As absurd as it sounds,
this tends to be a great truth, one of the greatest truths. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It
is a great truth because when we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we
truly know that life is difficult- once we truly understand and accept it –
then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that
life is difficult no longer matters.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Most
do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead they moan more or
less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems,
their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if
life should be easy. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their
difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that
has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families,
their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species and
not upon others. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Life
is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Do we
want to teach our children to solve them? What makes life difficult is that the process of confronting and solving
them is a painful one. Problems
depending upon their nature, evoke in us frustration or grief of sadness or loneliness
or guilt or regret or anger or fear or anxiety or anguish or despair. These are
uncomfortable feelings, often very uncomfortable and as painful as any kind of
physical pain. Indeed, it is because of the pain that events or conflicts
engender in us all that we call them problems. And since life poses an endless
series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as
Joy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Yet
it is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has its
meaning. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> Problems are cutting edge that distinguishes between success and
failure. Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed, they create
our Courage and our Wisdom. It is only because of problems that we grow mentally
and spiritually. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we
challenge and encourage the human capacity to solve problems, just as in
school, problems are deliberately set for children to solve. It is through the
pain of confronting and resolving problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklyn
said, <i>“Those things that hurt, instruct”.</i> It is for this reason that wise
people learn not to dread but actually welcome problems and actually to welcome
the pain of problems.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Most
of us are not so wise. Fearing the pain involved, almost all of us to a greater
or lesser degree, attempt to avoid problems. We procrastinate, hoping that they
will go away. We ignore them, forget them, pretend they do not exist. We even
take drugs to assist us in ignoring them, so that by deadening our self to the
pain we can forget the problems that cause the pain. We attempt to get out of
them rather than suffer through them. This tendency to avoid problems and the
emotional suffering inherent in them is the primary basis of all human mental
illness. In any case, when we avoid legitimate suffering that result from
dealing with problems, we avoid the growth that problems demand from us. It is
for this reason that in chronic mental illness we stop growing, we become
stuck. And without healing, the human spirit begins to shrivel.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Therefore
let us inculcate in ourselves and in our children the means of achieving mental
and spiritual health. By this I mean let us teach ourselves and those we love
the necessity for suffering and the value thereof, the need to face problems
directly and to experience the pain involved.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It happened one day near December's end, two neighbors called on an old-time friend and they found his shop so meager and lean Made gay with a thousand boughs of green.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7uk8IWHpCkDhyRI3e5ylzUZ-KxviuIj9uiUWLdK5g7guITh9dFKI94TDikItCYTAV-UMJxuJIu7w3gOpznDPlMELXzgEa1qNWoW95jiergSs2l_hlHkWQDToY8NE-_1M5I-e8CUQHnl4/s1600/guest.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7uk8IWHpCkDhyRI3e5ylzUZ-KxviuIj9uiUWLdK5g7guITh9dFKI94TDikItCYTAV-UMJxuJIu7w3gOpznDPlMELXzgEa1qNWoW95jiergSs2l_hlHkWQDToY8NE-_1M5I-e8CUQHnl4/s1600/guest.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br />And Conrad was sitting with a face a'shined when he suddenly stopped as he stitched a twine and he said: Old friends at dawn today when the cock was crowing the night away, the Lord appeared to me and said 'I am coming your Guest to be' So I've been busy with feet astir and strewing my shop with branches of fir.<br />'The table is spread and the kettle is shined and over the rafters the holly is twined. And now I'll wait for my lord to appear and listen closely so i will hear his step as he nears my humble place and i open the door and look on his face'.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />So his friends went home and left Conrad alone for this was the happiest day he had known. For long since his family had passed away and Conrad had spent many sad Christmas Day but he knew with the lord as his Christmas Guest, this Christmas would be the dearest and best.<br />He listened with only Joy in his heart and with every sound he would rise with a start and look for the lord to be at his door like the vision he had a few hours before.<br />So he ran to the window after hearing a sound but all he could see on the snow-covered ground was a shabby beggar whose shoes were torn, and all of his clothes were ragged and worn. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />But Conrad was touched and he went to the door and said, 'Your feet must be frozen and sore. I have some shoe in my shop for you and a coat that will keep you warmer too'.<br />So with grateful heart, the man went away. But Conrad noticed the time of day. He wondered what made the Lord late and how much longer he'd have to wait.<br />When he heard a knock he ran to the door, but it was only a stranger once more, a bent old lady with a shawl of black with a bundle of kindling pile on her back.<br />She asked for a place to rest. But that was for Conrad's Guest. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> But her voice seemed to plead Don't send me away: Let me rest for a while on Christmas Day'.<br />So Conrad brewed her a steaming cup and told her to sit at the table and sup. But after she left, he was filled with dismay for he saw that the hours were slipping away.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />And the Lord hadn't come as he said he would, and Conrad felt sure he had misunderstood when out of the stillness, he heard a cry. 'Please help me, and tell me where am I!'<br />So again he opened his friendly door and stood disappointed as twice before. It was only a child who had wandered away and was lost from her family on Christmas Day. Then he led her back to her hoke once more, but as he entered his own darkened door, he knew that the Lord was not coming today. For the hours of Christmas had passed away.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><b>So he went to his room and knelt down to pray, and he said: </b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Dear Lord, why did you delay, what kept you from coming to call on me? For I wanted so much your face to see.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">When soft in the silence, a voice he heard: 'Lift up your head, for i kept my word.</span></b></div>
<div style="color: #660000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Three times my shadow crossed your floor,</span></b></div>
<div style="color: #660000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Three times i came to your lowly door, for i was the beggar with bruised cold feet, i was the woman you gave something to eat. And i was the Child on the homeless street.<br />Three times i knocked: Three times i came in, and each time i found the warmth of a friend. </span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: blue;">Of all the gifts, LOVE is the best; I was honored to be your Christmas Guest.</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: small;">(Author: Andy Griffith)</span></b></span></div>

No means to get money. Then one day she had only but one dollar with her, she entered in a restaurant and bought food with that money but just after she finished praying for the food three people came in looking so skinny and hungry. They asked her for the food, she had compassion on them and gave them the food.</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
They wanted to pray for her but she told them that they need the prayer more than her. She left them and when she was about to leave they gave her an old coin. She went and lay down under the bridge to sleep, she saw newspaper and picked it and when she was reading it, there was an adverts about an old coin that got lost in 1955. Anybody that brings it was to be payed 10million dollars. </div>
<br /> As soon as she saw it she checked the coin and it was the same. Then she rushed down to the address and they confirmed it and issued her with a cheque of 10million dollars. She rushed back to that restaurant to see those three men but she didn't find them. <br /> <br /> When she asked the waiters, they gave her a letter that the old men left behind and she opened it, and this is what was written: <br /> <span style="color: #660000;">"This is the God of the Father, the God of Son and the God of the Holy spirit. No man who praises God shall be left to suffer. Him, his son and grandson's shall live happy under the umbrella of God."</span><br /> <br /> <b>MORAL LESSON: </b>Blessed is the hand that gives than the hand that receive... Praise God and your life will change...<br /> <br /> <b>A PRAYER FOR YOU:</b> God will perform a miracle in your life this week that is bigger than you can ever imagine, a miracle that will shoot you straight to the top, IN JESUS NAME<br /> <b><br /> If you believe in the prayer you just said and trust God to fulfill his promises in your life, write a comment in the box below to encourage someone today.</b></div>

<li style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Let the season of
Christmas be a period of stocktaking. Let us turn within, recognize our
weaknesses and try to overcome them. Let us sink down all differences and sit
together in all loving devotion for God. Let us purge our souls and cleanse our
hearts, for unless we are pure, we cannot see the Kingdom of God, much less
enter into it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b> If you can love your God with all your heart, with all
your strength and with all your soul and love your neighbors as yourselves; if
you can forget your prejudices and differences, your hatreds and petty
jealousies; if you can love even your enemies as Jesus did, who died
uncomplaining on the Cross, then all things shall be added unto you and you will
achieve spiritual peace here and hereafter.<span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">We have passed here now so many Christmas eves. There is need
to take stock today where we stand, how far we have travelled. Let us do so
calmly but seriously. The Journey may be long but has to be completed.
Life is running out, let not vain pursuits deflect us from our Noble
Path. The grace of God is overwhelming and is extending far and
wide. Through His grace the long and tedious journey back to our Eternal Home
is cut short and rendered full of melodious charm. His Gracious Love is
overflowing, and He is waiting for you at the door of your heart. Let us open up to him in steadfast devotion and
whole-hearted faith in Him.</span></span></li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">God
is Love, our soul is also Love, and the way back to God can be achieved through
Love. Men are in the clutches of perverted love. If it is developed in the
right direction, under the guidance of God, way back is ensured by listening to
the rapturous strains of the Word reverberating in all creation. </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Thus, Blessed are they who find refuge in the Lord, Jesus
Christ. Once His, He never leaves or forsakes us till He fulfills His promised
of guiding, whoever comes to Him, to the True Home of the Father. <b>Christmas is
celebrated for Christ was born this day but the real Christmas will be
celebrated when we really make up our minds to fulfill the aim of Christ's
birth,</b> viz., to enter the Kingdom of God within us, and bring the same on
earth.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"></span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span> </li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="line-height: 115%;">May
be worldly affluence has swayed you too much or you had thought the misfortunes
have descended too quick, which may not in reality be so, for ups and downs are
a normal feature of life. They come as a result of well planned Divine
Dispensation. So worry not if dark clouds are overhanging or wild rumors of
universal destruction are set afloat as even the darkest cloud has a silver
lining somewhere, you have a clear way before you. Your duty is two-fold—corporal
and spiritual—as you have the body and the spirit. Both are intertwined and
interlinked and need to be performed diligently and lovingly without damping
your enthusiasm in any way. For to shirk one's duty is timidity, to face it
with determination is manly, to take the results with cheer is bravery and to
adjust one's life according to one's environments is invigorating and peaceful.
Always remember that you are under the protective wings of our Lord Jesus
Christ and he is always extending His grace and protection. He is always by
your side. <b>You may stumble and fall, but His loving hands are always there to
pick you up especially in this season of Christmas.</b></span></span></li>

is suffering in the world, and men and women wander in darkness. In such a
world let us go about in prayers; giving love and compassion to all. Let us
serve the poor and broken ones, serve our brothers and sisters and those around
us. Let us not waste energy in questions and controversies. Let us light a few
candles at the alter of suffering humanity. This will be achieved by having
right understanding, viz., all mankind is one. The soul in man is the essence
of God. We are members of the same family of God. We are all brothers in God.
<b>When we learn that God resides in every heart we should have respect and love
for all. This realization must dawn on mankind as we celebrate the season of
Christmas</b></span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span>Each action has a
reaction. As you sow so shall you reap. Let your physical sojourn be sweetly
ethical, loving, co-operative and tolerant. Without these the great spiritual
flights evade you. Be watchful. We are on way to perfection. We are not
perfect. There may be failures on your part and misunderstandings amongst
yourselves. The former ,should be met with by the motto of forgive and forget
and the latter by reconciling them by mutual loving contacts. There may be a
lot of dross and imitation displayed in colourful and charming fashion to
deflect you. All movements which sanction you to sensual life cannot take you
beyond the senses. Let not their catchwords waylay you. Be steadfast and
careful. <b>Feelings, emotions, visualizations and inferences are all subject to
error. You know because you see something beyond the emotions and feelings. Let
not your faith give way to your detriment. With faith in God Almighty, proceed
on from day to day.</b><b> Put your trust
in Him and you will have all the necessary inner help to face the days ahead.</b></span></li>

may read libraries of books. Of what avail are they? You may have many
meritorious acts. What avail are they? Far are you from the Beloved if there be
not the longing in your heart. Consume hundreds of books in the fire. Let your
heart blossom forth with the sweet remembrance of the Lord. Be absorbed in the
white radiance of the Beloved. Be absorbed and you will know that the Jesus is
but One with God. He appears in every picture. In every race and religion,
every prophet and saint, every scripture and song, is the shining 'One'
revealed. <b>Let your inner-self be overflowing with the love of Jesus Christ so
much so that all thoughts of yourself be lost in Him. Saint Paul said: "It
is I, not now I, but Christ lives in me." May his Peace reign in your life
now and forever.. AMEN</b></span></span></li>

regular diary from day to day of all our thoughts, words, and deeds, and see
where we stand. Devote time to spiritual practices so that you make a
commendable progress on the spiritual Path and reach the Goal before us.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> <b>This year is going out and the New Year will soon be
ushered in. The present year is gone old. Let it depart. You need not worry. It
had been kind to you--not so kind as it should have been. But God willed it so.</b></span>
<span style="line-height: 115%;">However, you
must strive to be different from what you are during the present year. Strive
to reach Him, be a true devotee, crave for blessings from the Almighty. Pray
for His mercy. Promise unto Him that you will go up the Divine Path at any cost
and nothing shall deter you from achieving this object.</span> <span style="line-height: 115%;">The New Year
will be happy for you if you do not waver in the Divine Path or slacken your
pace therein. Remain firm and go ahead, trusting in God’s plans for your Life.</span></span></li>

one moment at a time. Emerson said: "There is no moment in eternity more
important than this moment." All real good or evil that may befall him is
from himself. If a man lives in a good or bad way in the real present, he will
ensure the same in the future. If you have bad thoughts for others, you will
harm not them only but yourself as well, as thoughts are very potent. So </span><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">try to
live in the living present, forgetting the past and the future—and fill every
moment of your life with simple trust in Him in all loving devotion. He will
manifest in you when you choose and turn your face to Him. God is love and love
is God, and the way back to God is also through love</span>.</b></span></span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">Sometimes we get what we need and not what we want.........</span>. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />Once there were 3 trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the <span style="color: #274e13;">1st tree</span> said, "Someday, I hope to be a treasure chest. <br />I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems and be decorated with intricate carvings. Everyone would see my beauty." <br /><br /><span style="color: #274e13;">The 2nd tree </span>said, "Someday, I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of other world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull." </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br />Finally, <span style="color: #274e13;">the 3rd tree</span> said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />I will be the greatest tree of all time, and people will always remember me." <br /><br />After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />One came to the 1st tree and said, "This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter," and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest. <br /><br />At the 2nd tree, one of the other woodsmen said, "This looks like a strong tree. I should be able to sell it to the shipyard." The 2nd tree was happy, because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br />When the woodsmen came upon the 3rd tree, the tree was frightened, because it knew that, if it is cut down, its dream would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, "I don't need anything special from my tree, so I'll take this one," and he cut it down. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br />When the 1st tree arrived at the carpenter's, he was made into a feed box for animals, placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br />The 2nd tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br />The 3rd tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br />The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams. Then one filtered day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth, and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br />Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose, and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and said "Peace," and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br />Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets, and the crowd mocked the man who was carrying it. Finally, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as possible, because Jesus Christ had been crucified on it. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><b><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">The moral of this story is that, when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts. Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined. </span></span></b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><b><br style="color: #38761d;" /><span style="color: #38761d;">We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know that His ways are not our ways, but His ways are always best. </span></b></span></div>

She says a prayer of protection, "Lord keep my child safe."<br />
<br />
And as days turn months into years, she sees her little girl grow<br />
She begins to realize that a time will come, the time when she must let go<br />
<br />
Suddenly she hears a gentle voice-- saying, "No greater love is this,<br />
Than what you've done for your little girl, go seal it with a kiss."<br />
<br />
"Honey I want to kiss your face, but I know I can't by phone<br />
While looking through your bedroom window, I began to feel alone."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"So many days through this very window, I'd watch you laugh and play<br />
And I can almost see you tucked in bed, on those nights we'd talk and
pray."<br />
<br />
"Mom," her daughter uttered, "There's something I want to
say...<br />
You may not know how many times, I saw you watch me play."<br />
<br />
"That window that you're looking through, is the same one God looked in<br />
He saw you by my bed each night, when you'd tenderly tuck me in."<br />
<br />
"So mom please don't feel all alone, you know I'll always be there...<br />
Just like God is with you now, no matter the time, or place or where."<br />
<br />
Her mother paused and then replied, "Sweetheart I know you're right...<br />
You're grown, married and have a child, that you now tuck in at night."<br />
<br />
"Mom, I better go now, I have some things I better do."<br />
Her mom replied, "I know it dear, you've got a window to look
through."</div>

<span style="font-family: "Andalus","serif"; font-size: large;">The day will
come when my body will lie upon a white sheet neatly tucked under the four
corners of a mattress located in a hospital busily occupied with the
living and the dying. At a certain moment a doctor will determine that my brain
has ceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my life has
stopped. <br />
When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my body by the
use of a machine. And don't call this my deathbed. Let it be called the Bed of
Life and let my body be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives. <br /> </span></div>

the eyes of a woman.<br />
Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days
of pain.<br />
Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so
that he might live to see his grandchildren play. <br />
Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week. <br />
Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to
make a crippled child walk.<br />
<br />
Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that someday, a speechless
boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of
rain against her window. <br />
Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers
grow.<br />
If you must bury something let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all prejudice
against my fellow man.<br />
Give my sins to the devil. Give

<br />
I envied her - she seemed so gay - and i wished i were as fair. <br />
When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the isle; <br />
She had one foot and wore a crutch, but as she passed, a smile.<br />
Oh, God, forgive me when i whine; <br />
I have two feet - the world is mine !<br />
<br />
And i stopped to buy some sweets<br />
The lad who sold them had such charm, <br />
i talked with him- he said to me; "It's nice to talk with folks like you. You see he said, I'm blind".<br />
Oh, God, forgive me when i whine;<br />
I have two eyes - the world is mine'.<br />
<br />
Then, walking down the street, i saw a child with eyes of blue<br />
He seemed he knew not what to do. <br />
I stopped for a moment, then i said: 'why don't you join the others, dear?<br />
He looked ahead without a word, and then i knew he could not hear.<br />
Oh, God, forgive me when i whine; <br />
I have two ears - the world is mine'.<br />
<br />
<br />
WITH FEET TO TAKE YOU WHERE YOU'D GO, <br />
WITH EYES TO SEE THE SUNSET'S GLOW,<br />
WITH EARS TO HEAR WHAT YOU WOULD KNOW, <br />
YOU'RE BLESSED, INDEED! THE WORLD IS YOURS.<br />
<br />
<br />
REALLY COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS ONE BY ONE.. YOU'LL DEFINATELY<br />
''BE HAPPY AT ALL TIMES, PRAY CONSTANTLY AND FOR ALL THINGS, <br />
GIVE THANKS TO GOD''..<br />
<br />
REMAIN BLESSED. <br />

After they were seated,the mother spotted an old friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her.<br /><br />Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall,the little boy rose and eventually explored his way through a door marked <strong>"NO ADMITTANCE".</strong><br /><br />When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin,the mother returned to her seat and discovered that her son was missing. Suddenly the curtains parted and spotlights focussed on the impressive steinway on stage.<br />In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard innocently picking out <strong>"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."</strong><br /><br />At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered into the boy's ear<strong>,"DON'T QUIT, KEEP PLAYING." </strong>Then, leaning over Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part.Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child, and he added a running obbligato.<br /><br />Together the old master and the young novice transformed what could have been a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience.The audience was so mesmerized that they couldn't recall what else the great master played, only the classic," Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."<br /><br />Perhaps that's the way it is with God.What we can accomplish on our own way is hardly noteworthy.<br />We try our best, but the results aren't always graceful flowing music.However, with the hand of the Master, our life's work can truly be beautiful.<br /><br />The next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully.You may hear the voive of the Master, whispering in your ear<strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">,"DON"T QUIT."

(THE VIRTUE OF HUMILITY)<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sometimes a little bit of humble pie goes well with a rich meal.Actually, what passes for conceit in many people is often just a plea for attention. A poor sense of self may cause one to want to be the prominent star in every constellation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Humility, on the other hand, does not require that one shine less brightly than others, simply that all be given opportunity to shine.Permit me to shed more light on humility with a Story: </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A story is told of a day when Washington, then a professor at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, happened to pass the mansion of a wealthy woman as he walked to work. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The woman did not recognize him and called out, “Hey you! Come here! I need some wood chopped!” She was a product of her southern post-Civil War culture and simply perceived him as a black man who was there to do her bidding.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Without a word, Dr. Washington peeled off his jacket, picked up the ax and went to work. He not only cut a large pile of wood, he also carried the firewood into the house and arranged it neatly by the fireplace.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He had scarcely left when a servant said to the woman, “I guess you didn’t recognize him, ma’am, but that was Professor Washington!”Embarrassed and ashamed, the woman hurried over to Tuskegee Institute to apologize.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The great educator respectfully replied: “There’s no need to apologize, madam. I’m delighted to do favors for my friends.”The professor may have taught one of his greatest lessons that day. It was a lesson about astronomy: he taught that every star can shine without one out-shining all the others. It was a lesson about peace: he taught how self-interest must often be set aside for the good of the whole.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And it was a lesson about spirituality: H<b>e taught about the power of a meek and humble spirit in a world where aggression is too-often confused with strength.</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is a lesson we are still learning. </span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=132726543414873">Click here to Follow us on FaceBook</a></div>ANUMBA JOSEPH UCHEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12489192009143057885noreply@blogger.com0
