Reflections

God, grant me the Serenity : to Accept the people I cannot change, the Courage to change the one I can, and the Wisdom to know it's me!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------- - God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts. - There is no key to happiness. The door is always open. - Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted. - Do the math. Count your blessings. - Faith is the ability to not panic. - Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging. - If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry. - As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home everyday. - Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape. - The most important things in your house are the people. - He who dies with the most toys is still dead. - A grudge is a heavy thing to carry. - When we get tangled up in our problems, be still so God can untangle the mess.

This may shock you, but I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude is that `single string' that keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there's no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me. - Charles R. Swindoll

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” – I CORINTHIANS 13:4-7 NIV Lord,Because love is patient…Help me to be slow to judge, but quick to listen. Hesitant to criticize, but eager to encourage,remembering your endless patience with me. Because love is kind… Help my words to be gentle and my actions to be thoughtful. Remind me to smile and to say “Please” and “Thank You” because those little things still mean so much. Because love does not envy or boast, and it is not proud… Help me have a heart that is humble and sees the good in others. May I celebrate and appreciate all that I have and all that I am, as well as doing the same for those around me. Because love is not rude or self-seeking… Help me to speak words that are ...

The Danish newspaper has provoked the muslim world by hurting them on matters they hold of greatest value even to the point of death. No one but the Danish government is responsible to solve such an issue, which has caused global problems. If it is the christian community that has been responsible for such an atrocity, then I would boldly say that they are not christians....let them not call themselves christians!!! Christ does not hurt people neither do true Christians. Jesus Christ came to heal the broken hearted and not to condemn but to forgive. Let not anyone who does not know christian values call themselves christians! I would prefer that this newspaper be blacklisted not to function anymore and people responsible to be taken to task and taught how to live in a world which has become very very small due to modern developments.

By The Potter's Hand's Ministries The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you - depending on how you respond to them. Unfortunately, most people fail to see how God wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring. Here are five ways God wants to use the problems in your life: 1. God uses problems to DIRECT you. Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention? "Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways." Proverbs 20:30 2. God uses problems to INSPECT you. People are like tea bags...if you want to know what's inside them, just drop them into hot water! Has God tested your faith with a problem? What do problems reveal about you? "When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, beca...
