It's me
That's why
“You say you love rain, but you use an
umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shelter when it
is shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your windows. So that's why I'm scared when you say you
love me.”

We pray for blessings, we pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near?
What if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise?
We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
And all the while You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe
'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near?
And what if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise?
When friends betray us, when darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It's not our home
'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near?
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst
This world can't satisfy?
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise?
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while You hear each spoken need

The life of pencil
The Pencil
Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.
“There are 5
things you need to know,” he told the pencil, “Before I send you out into the
world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best
pencil you can be.”
One: “You
will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held
in someone’s hand.”
Two: “You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time,
but you’ll need itto become a better
pencil.”

Three: “You
will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.”
Four: “The
most important part of you will always be what`s inside.”
And Five:
“On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the
condition, you must continue to write.”
The reason why............ Love is Blind
Madness decided to be the first to count, as he was counting, Love can`t decide where to hide.
So at the last second, she threw herself at the rose bush.
Madness searched but can`t find Love anywhere.
So in frustration, he thrust a spear into the rose bushes.
Surprised to find blood, he looked further and found Love`s eyes mixed with blood and tears.
He cried, and promised Love that he`ll be her eyes forever.
From then on, Love was blind, accompanied with Madness.
A woman came
out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front
yard. She did not recognize them. She said “I don’t think I know you, but you
must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.”
"Is the
man of the house home?", they asked.
"No",
she replied. "He’s out."
"Then
we cannot come in", they replied.
In the
evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
"Go
tell them I am home and invite them in!"
The woman
went out and invited the men in”
"We do
not go into a House together," they replied.
"Why is
that?" she asked.
One of the
old men explained: “His name is Wealth,” he said pointing to one of his
friends, and said pointing to another one, “He is Success, and I am Love.” Then
he added, “Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in
your home.”
The woman
went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. “How
nice!!”, he said. “Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come
and fill our home with wealth!”
His wife
disagreed. “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?”
Their
daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with
her own suggestion: “Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then
be filled with love!”
"Let us
heed our daughter’s advice," said the husband to his wife.
"Go out
and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman
went out and asked the 3 old men, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and
be our guest.”
Love got up
and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him.
Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: “I only invited Love, Why are you
coming in?”
The old men
replied together: “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us
would’ve stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with
him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!”
See my friend..Love first.

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. One day the child asked God,
“They tell me you are going to send me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there
being so small and helpless?”
God replied, “Among the many angels I have chosen one for you. She
will be waiting foryou and will take care of you.”
Said child, “But tell me here in Heaven I don’t do anything else
but sing and smile. That’s what I need to be happy!”
God replied, “Your angel will sing for you every day. And
you will feel your
angel’s love and be happy.”
angel’s love and be happy.”
And, said the child, “How am I going to be able to understand when
people talk to me, if I don’t know the language that men talk?”
“That’s easy”, God said, “Your angel will
tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care,
your angel will teach you how to speak.” The child looked up at God saying,
“And what am I
going to do when I want to talk to you?” God smiled at the child saying, “Your angel will teach
you how to pray.”
The child said, “I’ve heard on earth there are bad men. Who will
protect me?”
God replied, “Your angel will defend you, even if it means risking life!”
The child looked sad,
saying, “But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.”
God replied, “Your angel will
always talk to you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you.”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven,
but voices from earth could already be heard.
The child in a hurry, asked softly, “Oh God, if I am about to leave now please tell me my angel’s name!”
God replied, Your angel’s name is of no importance… you will simply call her MOTHER!

Christina Aguilera - Beautiful
[Spoken]
Don't look at me
Every day is so wonderful
Then suddenly it's hard to breathe.
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed.
I am beautiful no matter what they say.
Words can't bring me down.
I am beautiful in every single way.
Yes, words can't bring me down... Oh no.
So don't you bring me down today.
To all your friends you're delirious,
So consumed in all your doom.
Trying hard to fill the emptiness.
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone.
is that the way it is?
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down....oh no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh, no
So don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(no matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
(and everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(the sun will always, always shine)
And tomorrow we might wake on the other side
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, no, no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down, oh, no
So don't you bring me down today
Oh, yeah, don't you bring me down today, yeah, ooh
Don't you bring me down ooh... today
Most Beautiful Heart
One day, a man was standing in the middle of the town, proclaiming that he has the most beautiful heart in the village.
People there gathered and see his heart and see that its perfect. No flaws or scars. They agree that its the most beautiful heart.
Suddenly an old man came to him and said, “young man, ur heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine.”
The old man show his heart. And people see there are scars in it. And many holes. Some holes is filled with pieces but didnt fit right.
Though the heart is beating really strong, people can see there are rough edge in the old man’s heart.
The young man smirk and the laugh. “u must be joking. Compare it, mine is perfect and beauty, urs is a mess full of scars and tears.”
"yes." the old man said. "urs is perfect looking. But i would never trade my heart with u."
"u see, every scar represent a person who i gave my love. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them."
"and some of them give me back a piece of their hearts, which fits into empty place of my heart."
"but the pieces arent exact, so there will be still a little hole in my heart. But i cherish it, coz it reminds me of love that we shared."
"there were times when i give piece of my heart and they dont return the piece of theirs. It made the empty holes."
"but im okay with it. giving love is taking a chance. Although the holes of my hearts is painful, as they dont give their love back."
"It reminds me of the love we shared, and someday, new love will come and fill the empty space i’ve been waiting."
Do not fear to love. Do not fear to get hurt. Someday, someone will bring the pieces we miss, and fits in our hearts well.
Let’s tear a piece of our beautiful hearts. Give it to people. Share our loves. And love will come back to us.
Let’s tear a piece of our beautiful hearts. Give it to people. Share our loves. And love will come back to us.
Every Saint Has a Past Every Sinner Has a Future
A long time ago, a hooker went to a priest for a talk.
"dear, Father, I need to talk to u."
"what’s that,young lady?" the priest answers.
"you see, I'm doing sins. I flirt men, I use open shirt to seduce. I use my eyes and my beauty to get them. You know, I sell myself for money."
"and why u do that?"
"I need money to feed my life. And this is the easiest way. But I know this is wrong. I’m gonna change myself when I find a good man to marry."
"I will repent"
The priest said, “I don't agree with that. But remember, every time you do that sins I want you to punch a nail into the door in your bedroom.
And when you finally find a good man for you, I want you to pull all the nails from the door.”
The woman agreed, and came back home.
3 years after that, that girl came to the priest and cry.
3 years after that, that girl came to the priest and cry.
She said that she finally found a good man to marry her that she loves so much.
But the day before the wedding, he cancel it.
But the day before the wedding, he cancel it.
Because he found out from his friends about who she really was. The wedding cancelled.
She asked the priest, “why this happened to me. I promised God that I will never do that sins again if I marry him. Why God didn't help me?!”
The priest said ,”did you do what I order you about the nails?”
"yes", she said.
"Did you pull all the nail when you met him?"
"Yes", she said
"Did you see what happened to the door?"
"Yes", she said, while covering her face from tears
The priest said, “the nails might be pulled from the door. But the holes, and the scars in the door will always remains to be sins.”
-sometimes we believe that we are free to do sins and think that if one day we stop it, we will be cleaned from it. The fact is not. The scars and the holes will always be remembered by people around us.

7 things that you should be grateful !
Just before noon the day and hour lesson to a close, the teacher at an elementary school gave their students the task to write the Seven Wonders of the World. All students are asked to collect theirrespective duties. A little girl was quiet in class that collects the task with great hesitation. No onelooks at it ...
At night the teacher to check students' work. Most of the students wrote thus:
Seven wonders of the world:
1. Eiffel Tower
2. Tower of Pisa
3. Parthenon temple
4. Pyramid
5. Borobudur temple
6. Taj Mahal
7. Great Wall of China
Each answer sheet is obtained almost entirely the same, only the orders of the answers are different.But the teacher was kept in check until the last sheet.
But when examining the most recent pieces, the teacher was silent. The final pieces of the little girl's quiet ...
That said this:
Seven wonders of the world:
1. Can See
2. Can Hearing
3. Can Touch
4. Unlovable
5. Can Feel
6. Can Laugh, and
7. Could Love
After a silence, the teacher closes her students the task sheet. Then bowed his head to pray ... to give thanks to a quiet little girl in his class, who had taught her a lesson full of meaning.
No need to look to the ends of the globe to find the magic. The magic is all around us for us to have.
Grateful for all that we have today.
