RE-BLOG POST – Learning to Be Grateful………

Again, Kamal, thank you for the great gratitude reminder.

Boundless Blessings by Kamal

The
qualification that gave you a job, is the same qualification someone has who
still does not have a job and is going from pillar to post. BE GRATEFUL

The prayer that God answered for you and showered you with his grace, is the same prayer others have been praying but without success for years. BE GRATEFUL

The road you use safely on a daily basis to travel, is the same road where many others have lost their precious lives. BE GRATEFUL

The
temple in which God blessed you, is the same temple other people too worship
in, yet their lives are still in disharmony. BE GRATEFUL

The
bed you used in the hospital when you were sick and you got healed and were
discharged, is the same bed many other people breathed their last. BE

The
rain that made your field produce good crops, is the same rain…

RE-BLOG POST – Help People & Make them Happy………….

Kamal, thank you for this wonderful life lesson reminder…and worth posting here.

Boundless Blessings by Kamal

When a newspaper reporter interviewed a farmer who grew Award-Winning maize each year and entered his maize in the Agricultural show, it was revealed that the farmer shared his seed with his neighbours. Amazed, the reporter asked, “how can you afford to share your best seed with your neighbours when they are entering their maize in competition with yours each year?’

The farmer smiled knowingly and explained in a polite manner, “The wind picks up pollen from the ripening maize and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior maize, Cross-Pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my maize. If I am to grow good maize, I must help my neighbours grow a good crop too.”

LIVING THE MOMENT

HAIKU

We met Hallows Eve

Your carved pumpkin sits lit on a stump

Together, roasting marshmallows

…celebrating by the camp fire…

MADE TO LOVE

OFF THE CUFF Writing

We are made to Love

It comes from within and touches outwardly

Love animates eternal youth

Love is the goal

*

“We are made for Love.  We are made for friendliness.  We are made for togetherness.  We are made for all of the beautiful things that you and I know.  We are made to tell the world that there are no outsiders.  We all belong to God’s family.”

–Archbishop Desmond Tutu

 

RECIPE FOR PEACE

OFF THE CUFF Writing

What would a recipe for peace entail?

Hopefully kneading all the hurts in the world in a dough

Punching it with forgiveness, even hammering out pride against all enemies

Would the world rise up like dough and become a kinder place to live in?

Perhaps sprinkling compassion would rain down peace

and the world would become a better place

The ingredients to this recipe for peace are free

seems simple enough…so what are we waiting for?

 

TEACUP FLAMING LOVE

OFF THE CUFF Writing

‘Twas a frigid Halloween night when a stranger offered me hot tea in a porcelain cup.   My bashful eyes barely met his during this encounter.  ‘Twas our first love at first sight.  No wonder October is special to us.  Now a wintry ritual having tea before falling asleep together…34 years strong!

like magic was his teacup…
