                                 A story tells that two friends

were walking 

through the desert 

During some point of the 

Journey they had an 

Argument, and one friend 

Slapped the other one 

In the face. 

The one who got slapped 

was hurt, but without 

saying anything, 

wrote in the sand: 

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND 

SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE

They kept on walking 

until they found an oasis, 

where they decided 

to take a bath. 

The one who had been 

slapped got stuck in the 

mire and started drowning, 

but the friend saved him. 

After he recovered from 

the near drowning, 

he wrote on a stone: 

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND 

SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped 

and saved his best friend 

asked him, “After I hurt you, 

you wrote in the sand and now, 

you write on a stone, why?” 

The other friend replied 

“When someone hurts us 

we should write it down 

in sand where winds of 

forgiveness can erase it away. 

But, when someone does 

something good for us, 

we must engrave it in stone 

where no wind 

can ever erase it.”

YOUR HURTS IN 

THE SAND AND TO 

CARVE YOUR 

BENEFITS IN STONE!!! 

They say it takes a 

minute to find a special 

person, an hour to 

appreciate them, a day 

to love them, but then 

an entire life 

to forget them.

Send this phrase to 

the people you’ll never 

forget. If you don’t 

send it to anyone, 

it means you’re in a 

hurry and that you’ve 

forgotten your friends. 

Take the time to live! 

Do not value the THINGS 

you have in your life. But value 

WHO you have in your life!

Conversation with God


CONVERSATION WITH GOD

 

Me: God, can I ask You a question?
God: 
Sure 
Me: Promise You won’t get mad
God: 
I promise

Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?
God:
 What do u mean?

Me: Well, I woke up late
God:
 Yes 
Me: My car took forever to start
God:
 Okay 
Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait
God:
 Huummm !!! 
Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call
God:
 All right 
Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn’t work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?

 

God:

Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that.
Me (humbled): OH

GOD:

I didn’t let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Me: (ashamed)

God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn’t want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn’t afford to miss work.
Me (embarrassed):Okay

God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn’t even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
Me (softly): I see God

God:

Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn’t think you wanted to be in the dark.

Me: I’m Sorry God

God: Don’t be sorry, just learn to Trust Me…. in All things, the Good & the bad. 

Me: I will trust You.

God: And don’t doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan. 
Me: I won’t God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.

God: You’re welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children… 

Please share the message with others

Mental Stability


 

                     “मन की स्थिरता

मन का स्वभाव है कि वह किसी बात पर अधिक समय स्थिर नहीं रहता और उचटकर बार-बार इधर-उधर उड़ता है । आप किसी बात को सोचना चाहते हैं, किंतु मन उस पर नहीं जमता । ऐसी दशा में उस चिंतनीय विषय का कोई ठीक-ठीक निर्णय नहीं हो सकेगा । इस प्रकार की स्थिति उत्पन्न होने पर उत्तम मस्तिष्क वाले भी उतना काम नहीं कर सकते जितना कि साधारण मस्तिष्क के किंतु स्थिर चित्त वाले कर सकते हैं । कोई मनुष्य कितना ही चतुर क्यों न हो, यदि उसके मन को उचटने की आदत है और इच्छित विषय में एकाग्र नहीं होता, तो उसकी चतुरता किसी काम न आवेगी और उसके निर्णय अपूर्ण एवं असंतोषजनक होंगे ।

बुद्धि बढ़ाने की वैज्ञानिक विधि – पृ. १०”

 

                     “Mental Stability

It is the nature of mind that it does not stay on one topic for a long time and keeps wandering off aimlessly. This restless tendency gets in  the way of critical thinking and is a huge obstacle in the way of thoughtful, well reasoned decision making. A brilliant and highly distracted mind performs poorly compared to an average yet calm mind. No matter how smart we are, if our minds wander and are continuously distracted, our intelligence will be of little use and our decisions will be incomplete and unsatisfactory.

Lemon



Lemon Uses

Pick organic lemons if you can, mostly if you plan to use the peels. They should be bright and firm with a fine grained skin. A very course exterior may indicate a thick skin, which may mean less juicy flesh. Large lemons tend to be thick skinned. Size doesn’t mean more juice. A lemon that feels heavy for its smaller size usually means more juice which is what you are aiming for.

Remove ink spots from clothing.

While ink is wet, apply Lemon Juice liberally to the spot, then wash the garment in normal cycle with regular detergent in cold water.

Get rid of dandruff.

Apply one tablespoon of Lemon Juice to your hair. Shampoo, then rinse with water. Rinse again with a mixture of two tablespoons Lemon Juice and two cups water. Repeat every other day until dandruff disappears.

Write with invisible ink.

Use a Q-tip as a pen to write in Lemon Juice on a piece of white paper. Once it dries, hold the paper near a hot light bulb. The writing will turn brown.

Eliminate blackheads.

Rub Lemon Juice over blackheads before going to bed. Wait until morning to wash off the juice with cool water. Repeat for several nights until you see a big improvement in the skin.

Create blonde highlights.

Rinse your hair with one-quarter-cup Lemon Juice with three-quarter cup water.

Deodorize a cutting board.

Wash with Lemon Juice to rid a cutting board of the smell of garlic, onions, or fish.

Remove fruit or berry stains from your hands.

Rinse hands with Lemon Juice 
Remove rust and mineral discolorations on cotton t-shirts and briefs. 
Use one cup Lemon Juice in the washer.

Clean a microwave oven.

Add four tablespoons Lemon Juice to one-cup water in a microwave-safe, four-cup bowl. Boil for five minutes in the microwave, allowing the steam to condense on the inside walls of the oven. Then wipe clean.

Soak fingernails in Lemon Juice for ten minutes, and then brush with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and warm water. Rinse well.

Stop bleeding and disinfect minor wounds.

Pour Lemon Juice on a cut or apply with a cotton ball.

Relieve poison ivy.

Your Bedside partner..? read on



Put your car keys beside your bed at night 

Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr’s office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night. 

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It’s a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. 

Test it. 

It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won’t stick around. After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won’t want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime. 

P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic. Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can’t reach a phone. My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn’t hear him.. He can activate the car alarm and then she’ll know there’s a problem. 
Please pass this on even IF you’ve read it before. It’s a reminder.
