Happy Yuletide!

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your ATTITUDE towards what happens to you, And in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

So do not forget to relax this season and do not loose yourself in this fast life

Have a wonderful Yuletide!

Thank God

Thank You God
The year is gradually ending and all I can say is Thank you God. Join me and say the prayer below as we appreciate God

DEAR GOD: I want to thank You for what you have already done. I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better; until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me; until the pain in my body disappears; until my financial situation improves; until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed; I am thanking you right now.

I am thanking you because I am alive. I am thanking you because I made it through the day's difficulties. I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles. I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and dobetter.

I'm thanking You because OH LORD, YOU haven't given up on me.

God is just so good, and he's good all the time.

Wish you all the best life has to offer.

Cheers!

Your life is a living Bible

Several years ago, A preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Houston, Texas.
Some weeks after he arrived, he had an opportunity to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area.

When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much in change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.' Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter.
Who would worry about this little amount anyway, and the bus company gets too much fare already; they will never miss it.

Accept it as a gift from God and keep quiet.' When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door,
Then he handed the quarter to the driver and said... 'Here, you gave me too much change.'

The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new preacher in town?
I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship.
I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change.
I'll see you at church on Sunday. ‘When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.'
Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read.

Another Realization

This is sad but very true. Every relationship has an expiry date and once the relationship has expired make sure you let it go.

Maybe the person's part in your success story is over.

Thanks

Realizations III

Sometimes in our lives we give up some fights not because we can’t win the fight but probably because the fight is not worth it.

Or what do u think?

The Seed and the CEO

A successful business -man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his directors or his children, he decided to do something different.

He called all the young executives in his company together. He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO.

I have decided to choose one of you."The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued, "I am going to give each one of you a SEED today -- one very special SEED. I want you to plant the seed, water it and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you.

I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO."One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and, excitedly, told his wife the story.She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed.

Every day, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing.

By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however.

He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil. He so wanted the seed to grow.A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection. Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked Jim to be honest about what happened.

Jim felt sick at his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives.They were beautiful -- in all shapes and sizes.

Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed. A few felt sorry for him!When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives.

Jim just tried to hide in the back."My, what great plants, trees and flowers you have grown," said the CEO. "Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!"All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot.

He ordered the financial director to bring him to the front.Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!"When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed.

Jim told him the story. The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, "Behold your next Chief Executive! His name is Jim!"Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed. "How could Jim be the new CEO?” the others said.

Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it and bring it back to me today."But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead -- it was not possible for them to grow.

All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers."When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you.

Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it.

Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief Executive!"

If you plant honesty, you will reap trust.
If you plant goodness, you will reap friends.
If you plant humility, you will reap greatness.I
f you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment.
If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective.
If you plant hard work, you will reap success.
If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation.
If you plant faith in God, you will reap a harvest.
So be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.

Realizations 2

This is another fact that I have realized from life. Wounds heal faster than words. So make sure you watch the words you speak. They are very powerful. You are responsible for what you say. If you cannot say something good, the Bible is very clear about this: keep quiet
