God gave me an angel !

Image
God gave me an angel right here on earth She taught me values and gave me self worth She guides me though life with her wisdom, God’s light…she steers me from wrong, and leads me towards right. She stands by my side, When things are rough. She taught me in bad times, We need to be tough. She’s there when I need her, Through out all my years. She laughs with me in happy times, And comforts my tears. My angel on earth was sent from above, She’s paid not in wages but with eternal love, She’s been my confidante, my rock, my protector. And when God says her time is through, I know I won’t forget her. She needs not a halo or silken wings of grace, For the glory of God’s love shines upon her face. My guardian angel, Can be replaced by no other. She’s God’s gift to me, I call her my dear mother ! It is hard to believe that you are not coming back, I cannot be strong; it is courage that I lack. It has been months since your death happened, Although it stil

Faith in God

Image
No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere: I see Heaven's glories shine, And faith shines equal, arming me from Fear.  O God within my breast, Almighty, ever-present Deity! Life - that in me hast rest, As I - Undying Life- have power in Thee ! Vain are the thousand creeds That move men's hearts, unutterably vain; Worthless as withered weeds Or idlest froth amid the boundless main. To waken doubt in one Holding so fast by Thine infinity; So surely anchored on The steadfast rock of immortality. With wide-embracing love Thy Spirit animates eternal years, Pervades and broods above, Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates and rears. Though Earth and moon were gone, And suns and universes ceased to be, And Thou wert left alone, Every Existence would exist in Thee. There is not room for Death, Nor atom that his might could render void: Thou - Thou art Being and Breath, And what Thou art may never be destroyed. By Emily Bronte

Listen the music of life !

Have you ever watched kids o n a merry-go-round ? Or listened to the rain s lapping on the ground ? Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight ? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night ? You better slow down,  d on’t dance so fast; Time is short,  t he music won’t last. Do you run through,  e ach day on the fly ? When you ask “How are you ?”,  Do you hear the reply ? When the day is done,  d o you lie in your bed; With the next hundred chores,  r unning through your head ? You would better slow down,  d on’t dance so fast; Time is short,  t he music won’t last. Ever told your child,  w e will do it tomorrow ? And in your hast,  Not see his sorrow ? Ever lost touch,  l et a good friendship die; Cause you never had time,  t o call and say “Hi” ? You would better slow down,  d on’t dance so fast; Time is short,  t he music won’t last. When you run so fast to get somewhere; You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day; It is like an unopened gift…

Sense of appreciation

One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision. The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, Never had a year when he did not score. The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" The youth answered "none". The director asked, " Was it your father who paid for your school fees?"

The one you feed !

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all people. He said, 'My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, confidence, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.' The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: 'Which wolf wins?' The old Cherokee simply replied, 'The one you feed.'  So always think positive and be the master of self not the slave. Who looks outside, dreams; Who looks inside, awakes. ~ Carl Jung

Delight Eternal

These are few drops from the ocean of infinite (Upanishads) (1) Transliteration : Yo vai bhuma tat sukham, Nalpe sukham asti, Bhumaiva sukham. ...Upanishada... Translation : The Infinite is the satisfying happiness. In the finite no happiness can ever breathe. The Infinite alone is the fulfilling happiness. Meaning : The Life Infinite is the Delight Infinite. The finite is a stranger to the infinite Happiness. Infinity without Delight means the creation without a Creator. Indeed, this is absurd. Delight without Infinity means the Creator without the creation. Indeed, this is equally absurd. (2) Transliteration : Anandadd hy eva khalv imani bhutani jayante, Anandena jatani jivanti Anandam prayantyabhisam visanti...Upanishada... Translation : From Delight we came into existence. In Delight we grow. At the end of our journey’s close, Into Delight we retire. Meaning : God has written an open letter to His human children. His letter runs: “My
