The Bible
A 21 yrs old son asks his parents for a car for his birthday.
Unfortunately his father handed him a bible.
Instead of receiving it, he threw it, went mad and never returned home.
He has raised his own family and years have passed, his parents died in a plane crash.
He went to the funeral and surprisingly found the bible he refused to receive when his parent gave it.
As he went on to the pages of the bible, he noticed an envelope with a car key and a letter that read.
“Happy Birthday”! We love you,
Ma and Pa (the car is still in the garage)

The Butterfly
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly, and he brought it home. One day, a small opening appeared in the cocoon.
The man sat and watched the cocoon for several hours as the butterfly struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making progress. It appeared as if the butterfly had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no farther.
The man decided to help the butterfly in its struggle. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon and the butterfly emerged easily.
As the butterfly emerged, the man was surprised. It had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. He continued to watch the butterfly and expect that, at any moment, the wings would dry out, enlarge, and expand to support the swollen body. He knew that in time the body would contract, and the butterfly would be able to fly but neither happened!
In fact, the butterfly spends the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.
The man did not understand that the restricting cocoon and the struggle were required for the butterfly to be able to fly.
The butterfly must push its way through the tiny opening to force the fluid from its body and wings. Only by struggling through the opening can the butterfly's wings be ready for flight once it emerges from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If our Higher Power allowed us to go through life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been and we could never fly!
Spread your wings and prepare to fly,
For you has become a butterfly.

Can I buy an hour of your time?
The man came home from work; again he’s late, tired and irritated.
His 5 years old son is waiting for him in front of the door.
"Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.
"Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?"
"That's none of your business! What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.
"I make $20.00 an hour!” replied the man.
"Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said,
"Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?"
The father was furious. "If that is the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make so that you can borrow money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense things, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long hard hour everyday and I don't have time for such childish games."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy's questioning “How dare he ask such a question just only to get some money?”
After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son.
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00, and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep son?" he asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man.
"It's been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Here's the $10.00 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, beaming. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up bills.
The man started to get angry again, since the boy already had money.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man.
"Why did you want more money if you already had some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?"
Moral: “Share some TIME with someone special.”

The Three Trees in the Woods
Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods.
They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty."
Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."
Finally the third tree 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. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me."
After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees.
When one came to the first tree he 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.
At the second tree a woodsman said, "This looks like a strong tree, I should be able to sell it to the shipyard." The second tree was happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams 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.
When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for.
The second 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.
The third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark.
The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.
Then one 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.
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.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, 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 was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.
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. 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.

The Rainbow
Once upon a time the Colors of the world started to quarrel that they were: all claimed the best, the most important, the most useful, the favorite.
GREEN said: "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees, leaves - without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."
BLUE interrupted: "You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."
YELLOW chuckled: "You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, and the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."
ORANGE started next to blow her trumpet: "I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and paw paws. I don't hang around all the time, but when I fill sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."
RED could stand it no longer. He shouted out: "I am the ruler of all of you- I am blood - life's blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy."
PURPLE he rise up to his full height. He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: "I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me - they listen and obey."
Finally, INDIGO spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination: "Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."
And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening - thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.
In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak: "You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me."
Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands. The rain continued: "From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow." And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.

The Donkey
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally he decided since the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. So, the farmer invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed shovels, and began to shovel dirt into the well.
All the other farm animals were very upset about this, because the donkey was their friend. But they discovered there was nothing they could do to help him.
At first, when the donkey realized what was happening, he cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw.
With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off, and take a step up on the dirt as it piled up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well, and trotted off!
MORAL: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. But each trouble can be a stepping stone. What happens to you isn't nearly as important as how you react to it. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not giving up! Shake it off, and take a step up!

A true friend in a War
Horror gripped the heart of the World War 1 soldier as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. Caught in a trench with continuous gunfire whizzing over his head, the soldier asked his lieutenant if he might go out into the "no man's land" between the trenches to bring his fallen comrade back.
"You can go," said the lieutenant, "but I don't think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your life away." The lieutenant's advice didn't matter, and the soldier went anyway. Miraculously he managed to reach his friend, hoist him onto his shoulder and bring him back to their company's trench. As the two of them tumbled in together to the bottom of the trench, the officer checked the wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at his friend.
"I told you it wouldn't be worth it," he said. "Your friend is dead and you are mortally wounded."
"It was worth it, though, sir," said the soldier.
"What do you mean; worth it?" responded the Lieutenant. "Your friend is dead"
"Yes, Sir" the private answered.
"But it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say, "JIM... I KNEW YOU'D COME."

The Seven Wonders of the World
Junior high school students in Chicago were
studying the Seven Wonders of the World. At
the end of the lesson, the students were asked
to list what they considered to be the Seven
Wonders of the World. Though there was some
disagreement, the following received the
most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. The Taj Mahal in India
3. The Grand Canyon in Arizona
4. The Panama Canal
5. The Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The quiet girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."
The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:
1. to touch...
2. to taste...
3. to see...
4. to hear... (She hesitated a little, and then added...)
5. to feel...
6. to laugh...
7. and to love.
The room was so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop.
May this story serve as a gentle reminder to all of us that the things we overlook as simple and ordinary are often the most wonderful - and we don't have to travel anywhere special to experience them.
Enjoy your gifts!

A Very Special Meal
Once there was a very poor and devoted woman who always prayed to the Glory of God, asking very little, if anything for herself. But one thought, one desire continued to recur and finally she asked: petitioning the Lord, that if it were possible she would love to prepare a special meal and have God share at her table. And God, in His Love for this goodly woman, said He would indeed come the next day and share a meal.
Filled with ecstasy, the woman went out the following morning with her meager purse and purchased such delicacies that she felt would please the Lord.
Returning home, she prepared a banquet and waited patiently for her most honored guest. Soon there was a knock on the door, and when she opened it, there stood an old beggar asking for something to eat. Being a woman of God, she could not turn the beggar away, so she invited him in to partake of her table. The beggar felt as if he was in a dream - such a feast set before him. He finished all the food, thanked his hostess and left.
The woman was only slightly disheartened, she gathered up her purse, her coat, and hurried back to town to get more food for her special guest. Her funds were less now and so the food was not quite so elaborate. Nonetheless, she lovingly prepared another meal and sat to await the arrival of the Almighty.
A few hours went by and there was a loud knock on the door. This time it was an old gypsy woman with no teeth, who was deaf, who spoke quite loudly and was, rather rudely, insisting that any true believer in the Lord would not deny her something to eat.
Though the woman had no more money with which to buy more supplies, she invited the woman in and offered her a seat at the table. The gypsy ate everything, did not even thank the woman and left without closing the door.
By now it was beginning to get dark both inside and out. The woman's faith was strong, so that, though somewhat distraught, she did not give up, but rather, looked around her humble house to see if there was anything she could sell in order to buy more food to set before the Lord.
She hurried to town with a little silver cup that had been in her family for several generations, but she was willing to part with it for the great honor that God was going to bestow on her - the sharing of a meal.
Late in the night she rushed home to prepare yet a third meal. She waited and waited until, once more, there was a knock on the door. Holding her breath, she slowly opened the door to find yet another poor man in the guise of a wandering monk, in search of a meal.
Again, she offered hospitality, with as much grace as she could muster in her disappointment. This man also ate all that was set on the table and left after blessing the woman for her kindness. So discouraged and dismayed was she that all she could do was nod slightly, in acknowledgment of the thanks.
Now it was too late, with no way to buy any more food and no more money with which to buy it. She got down on her knees, weeping such heart-broken tears. She asked God what she had done wrong. Why had God not come to share at the table as He had promised?
And God, in all His Divine Compassion and Mercy, lifted the woman off her knees, and holding her close to His Heart, said, "My child, I enjoyed your hospitality so much that I came three times!"

Wooden Bowls
A frail old man lived with his son, his daughter-in-law, and his four-year-old grandson. His eyes were blurry, his hands trembled, and his step faltered.
The family would eat together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon, drooping to the floor. When he grasped his glass of milk, it often spilled clumsily at the tablecloth.
With this happening almost every night, the son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.
"We must do something about grandfather," said the son.
"I've had enough of his milk spilling, noisy eating and food on the floor," the daughter-in-law agreed.
So the couple set a small table at the corner.
There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed their dinner at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in wooden bowls. Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather's direction, he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening, before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly: "What are you making?" Just as sweetly, the boy replied, "Oh, I'm making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up." The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
These words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears streamed down their cheeks. Though no words were spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening, the husband took grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.
For the remainder of his days, grandfather ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk was spilled or the table cloth was soiled.

Gubat
May isang anak na gustong iligaw ang kaniyang ama sa gubat dahil sa sakit nitong wala ng lunas at pagod naring siyang magalaga dito,
Ipinasan niya ang kaniyang ama hanggang makarating sa dulo ng gubat,
Ngunit napansin niya na pinuputol ng kaniyang ama ang bawat sanga ng punong madaanan nila.
Tinanong ng lalaki kung bakit niya ginagawa ito.
Sumagot ang kaniyang ama,
“Pinuputol ko ang mga sanga dahil ayokong maligaw ka sa pag uwi mo anak”
Just like God, He never leave us into danger without making our way safe.

Teacher
Teaching may not be a lucrative position.
It cannot guarantee financial security.
It even means investing your personal time, energy, and resources.
Sometimes it means disappointments, heartaches and pains.
But touching the hearts of people and opening the minds of children can give you joy and contentment which money could not buy.
These are the moments I teach for.
These are the moments I live for.

Girl: Why you keep on following me wherever I go?

The guy turned to his back but no ones were there.
Guy: Are you making fun of me? Nobody is there?
Girl: No, but if you really love me you won’t look back.

Tune of the Song
How only one song gets stuck in your mind..
and not two or three.
Just like love.
No matter how many songs you listen to..
or how many guys or girls you’ve met,
Only one shines above the rest..
and that’s the song that keeps playing in your mind..
and not two or three.
Just like love.
No matter how many songs you listen to..

The Light Bulb
When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb,
He tried over 2,000 experiments before he got it work.
A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times.
He said I never failed once.
It just happened to be a 2,000 step process.
There’s no such thing as failure.
It is only a delayed success.

PSP
An airplane on its return flight suddenly encountered turbulence.
Oxygen bags started to be dispensed; so all the passengers started to panic.
Except for one little boy who was playing with his PSP.
They asked him why he was so calm and why he was not afraid to die.
He answered,
“My dad is the pilot.”
That’s TRUST.
If God is the pilot of your life, there’s no need to worry even if everything goes wrong.
Just believe.

Small Cup
A 10 years old boy went to an ice cream shop and asked how much a cone cost.
Waiter said: P15!
The boy started counting how much he had in his wallet.
Then he asked “how much a small cup cost?”
Waiter said: P12!
The boy asked for a small cup, he had it, paid the bill and left.
When the waiter came to pick the empty cup he was touched.
The boy had left P3.00 pesos as a tip for him.

No More Excuses
The next time you feel like God cant use you just remember:
NOAH was a drunkcard,
JACOB was a liar,
LEAH was ugly,
PETER denied CHRIST,
ABRAHAM was too old,
ISAAC was a daydreamer,
JOSEPH was abused,
GIDEON was afraid,
ELIJAH was suicidal,
JONAH ran from God,
JOB went bankrupt,
JEREMIAH was a crybaby,
DISCIPLES fell asleep while praying,
LAZARUS was dead.
Now, no more excuses. God can use you to your full potential. Surrender to the Lord and all else will follow..

Open our Eyes
Many times, the things we complain about are the good things..
We grumble about having too much work while others don’t even have..
We complain waking up early in the morning when others don’t even have a reason to live..
We grouse about gaining weight when others don’t even have food on their tables..
Everyday, the Lords fills our lives with so much goodness..
All we need to do is open our eyes and give thanks for each of them..

A Favorite Son Becomes a Slave
Isaac was very happy. His son Jacob was home. Even Esau welcomed the brother he once vowed to kill. But Jacob’s sons were not happy because Joseph, their young brother, was father’s favorite.
Joseph’s brothers became angrier when he told them his dreams, “My sheaf of grain stood tall and my brother’s sheaves bowed in honor,” Joseph said. This dream meant Joseph would be more important than his brothers.
In Joseph’s second dream, the sun, moon and stars bowed down to him. Even his father Jacob was angry at him for putting himself above his parents and brothers.
One day Jacob sent Joseph to the field where his brothers tended their flocks. His brothers saw him coming. “Let’s kill this dreamer, “they muttered. Joseph did not know the danger before him.
Reuben, the oldest brother disagreed. “We must not shed blood,” he said. “See, here’s a pit. Let him die there!” Reuben planned to rescue Joseph at night-fall.
When Joseph arrived, his brothers grabbed him, and took off the colored coat Jacob had specially made for his favorite son. Then they threw him into the awful pit.
While Reuben was absent, a caravan of camels drew near on their way to distant Egypt. “Let’s sell Joseph,” cried Judah, his brother. The deal was made. They sold Joseph for twenty pieces of silver.
Tearful and afraid, Joseph watched helplessly as the lurching camel led him away from his family and homeland.
“Is this Joseph’s coat? It’s bloody. We found it in the desert.” The cruel brothers allowed Jacob to believe a wild animal had killed his favorite son. Jacob tore his clothes and mourned. Nobody could comfort him.
In Egypt, Joseph must have been afraid and lonely. Maybe he longed for home. But he could not escape. He was a slave in the house of Potiphar, an important Egyptian. Potiphar saw that Joseph always worked hard and could be trusted.
“All you do turns out well,” Potiphar told Joseph one day. “God is with you. I want you to be my chief servant, in charge of all my business and master of all my other servants.”
God gave Potiphar good harvest and many riches because of Joseph. Now an important man, Joseph still trusted and served God faithfully. But trouble came to Joseph.
Potiphar’s wife was a wicked woman. She asked Joseph to take the place of her husband. Joseph refused. He would not sin against God by wronging Potiphar.
When the woman tried to force him, he ran. But she caught and held his coat.
“Your slave attacked me, “Potiphar’s wife complained. “See, here’s his coat!” Potiphar was angry. Maybe he knew his wife was lying. But he had to do something. What would he do?
Potiphar put Joseph in prison. Although he was innocent, Joseph was innocent; Joseph was not bitter or angry. Perhaps he was learning from his hardships that no matter where he was, if he honored God, God would honor him – even in jail.

Law of the Garbage Truck
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right infront of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really very friendly. So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the Hospital!" This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, "THE LAW OF THE GARBAGE TRUCK"
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.
Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so...Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the one's who don't.
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
Have a blessed, garbage - free day!

The Child Smile
One rainy day, a mother went to pick up her boy from school..
Thinking that the boy will fear the lightning..
On the way, she found her child smiling at the sky for every lightning..
She asked him why he smiled..
The little boy said,
“God is taking my photo, so I have to look good” that’s why I smiled..
So smile when problems threaten you and don’t fear anything..
God is always with you..

One Glass of Milk
One stormy night, a child knocked at a woman’s house.
The child was very weak.
The woman prepared milk for him and learned that his name was Nike2x.
The child was so thankful.
After many years, the woman grow old and very sick, no one cared for her.
When she was admitted in the hospital, she was very worried because she didn’t have money to pay.
After her operation, there was a short note beside her table.
It was the bill she had to pay.
She was trembling while opening the note,
And read:
“The bill is already paid, thank you for one glass of milk”
-Dr. Nike2x

What Sounds Great?
A cup from Starbucks..
The hottest car model..
Endless shopping..
The grandest house..
An iMax ticket..
The coolest Nokia phone and iPod..
Cruising around Venice..
All sound great, right?
Still, something is better than all this summed up..
What is that?
Having you to share my 5-peso cup of gulaman and qwek-qwek..
A long jeepney ride..
Crowded house tambayan..
Pirated DVD marathon..
An overnight in a friend’s crib..
And the memories of a lifetime friendship..

Seat Number 08
An Airplane Story:
A flight attendant began circling the cabin before take-off..
The cabin was already closed, the air stairs pulled away..
A woman sitting in economy stopped her, and politely asked, “please remind my husband to take his heart medicine? He’s in business class, seat number 8.”
The flight attendant smiled and assured the woman she would see to it..
After take-off, the flight attendant approached the man in business class seat number 8.
“Sir,” she said, “please remembers to take your heart medicine.”
The surprised man looked up. “How do you know I have a heart condition?” he asked.
“Your wife requested me to remind you,” the attendant answered..
The man suddenly broke down in tears..
The flustered attendant asked him what was wrong..
The weeping man told her, “My wife is dead. Her body is in this plane. I’m taking her home to bury her.”
--Love know no boundaries..

The Depressed Swimmer
A depressed swimmer went to practice..
The lights were all off only the moonlight was bright..
He climed up to the highest diving board to the pool, and extended his arms out..
He noticed his shadow formed a Cross shape..
Instead of diving, he first knelt down and prayed to God to come in his life..
Suddenly, someone walked in and turned the lights on..
He cried when he saw that the pool have been drained for repair..
*Come to think of the message..

Letter of Heaven
Did you ever wonder why I don't use my power to make people do what I want?
I wanted a real relationship with you. That's why I gave you a freewill. I wanted you to have the freedom to choose me. If i had to force you to love me, would your love mean as much?
Sometimes you will make the wrong choices. But I'm willing to risk that, because when you finally choose my plans for you, I know it will be your decision.
loving..
God

Human Philosophy
Why was snow white give an apple with poison?
To show that not all people that are kind to you are really kind. They might have some other agenda against you. Looks can be deceiving!
Why did cinderella run away when the clock turned 12mn?
To remind us that every thing has its limitations, even dreams!
Why did ariel decide to exchange her fins with feet?
To show that anyone will try to lose anything just to be happy.. ^_^
