The density of people in society is so thick that, we forget that life will end one day. & we don't know when that one day will be

One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.it took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.

That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. 'Really?' she heard whispered. I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!' and, 'I didn't know others liked me so much,' were most of the comments. No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose.

The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.Several years later, one of the students was killed in Vietnam and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before.

He looked so handsome, so mature.the church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin. As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. 'Were you Mark's math teacher?' he asked. She nodded: 'yes.' Then he said Mark talked about you a lot.' after the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon.

Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher. We want to show you something,' his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket 'They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it.' Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him. thank you so much for doing that,' Mark's mother said. 'As you can see, Mark treasured it.

All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, 'I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home.Chuck's wife said, 'Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album.i have mine too,' Marilyn said. 'It's in my diary.then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. 'I carry this with me at all times,' Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: 'I think we all saved our lists' that's when the teacher finally sat down and cried.

She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.the density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late.!

BELIEVE IN ANGELS, THEN RETURN THE FAVOR.!

Touching story.
 As she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children an untruth. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. However, that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.
 Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he did not play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. In addition, Teddy could be unpleasant.
 It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.

At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last. However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise. Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners... he is a joy to be around.."

His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle." His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best, but his father doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren't taken."

Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school. He doesn't have many friends and he sometimes sleeps in class." By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddy's. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper That he got from a grocery bag Mrs.

Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a rhinestone bracelet with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume.. But she stifled the children's laughter when she exclaimed how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some of the perfume on her wrist. Teddy Stoddard stayed after school that day just long enough to say, "Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my Mom used to." After the children left, she cried for at least an hour.

On that very day, she quit teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. Instead, she began to teach children. Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class and, despite her lie that she would love all the children the same, Teddy became one of her "teacher's pets.."

A year later, she found a note under her door, from Teddy, telling* her that she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. Six years went by before she got another note from Teddy. He then wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in life. Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that while things had been tough at times, he'd stayed in school, had stuck with it, and would soon graduate from college with the highest of honors. He assured Mrs. Thompson that she was still the best and favorite teacher he had ever had in his whole life.

Then four more years passed and yet another letter came. This time he explained that after he got his bachelor's degree, he decided to go a little further. The letter explained that she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had. But now his name was a little longer.... The letter was signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, MD.

The story does not end there. You see, there was yet another letter that spring. Teddy said he had met this girl and was going to be married. He explained that his father had died a couple of years ago and he was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit at the wedding in the place that was usually reserved for the mother of the groom.

Of course, Mrs. Thompson did. And guess what? She wore that bracelet, the one with several rhinestones missing. Moreover, she made sure she was wearing the perfume that Teddy remembered his mother wearing on their last Christmas together. They hugged each other, and Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson's ear, "Thank you Mrs. Thompson for* believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference."

Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back. She said, "Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn't know how to teach until I met you." (For you that don't know, Teddy Stoddard is the Dr. at Iowa Methodist Hospital in Des Moines that has the Stoddard Cancer Wing.) Warm someone's heart today. . . pass this along. I love this story so very much, I cry every time I read it. Just try to make a difference in someone's life today? tomorrow? Just "do it". Random acts of kindness, I think they call it?

"Believe in Angels, then return the favor."

Happiness Is Fleeting. True Joy Comes From Within.

We are happy when things go the way that we want them to, when we accomplish something, when we achieve a goal, when we win a game in a competition, or win a promotion. When things do not go the way that we want them to we are unhappy. When we do not get what we want and expect, we become disappointed and feel down.

Happiness is fleeting. It cannot be sustained, because it is dependent upon circumstances to change to what we want them to change to and once we get what we want, if we get what we want, happiness is felt and then it dies, because it has been fulfilled; so, in order to feel happiness again we must set another goal, which requires circumstances to change for the better, where we ultimately achieve our goal.

Our thoughts create happiness. Happiness is an emotion—a byproduct of our thinking. Happiness is not stationary. It is always moving. We’re happy one minute and then were unhappy the next. We may even achieve a goal and become happy, but during those feelings of happiness we may get unwelcomed news about something that upsets us and then we are no longer happy. Our focus on accomplishing and achieving the goal is now turned towards the problem that upset us.

Joy is naturally within us, regardless of what happens in our lives. There are no expectations for happiness, but a complete acceptance for All That Is, which includes when things go our way and when things do not go our way. We are ok, either way. Joy is experienced when the mental chatter of the mind is silenced and we are at peace. The mind covers up the natural joy that is inside of you, if you let it.

You must release all attachments—to other people, to material objects, to expectations, and to outcomes. This does not mean that you have to stop pursuing goals. You can have goals, just do not get attached to the outcome of those goals, expecting for them to make you happy. You will only get a temporary, fleeting feeling of happiness when you achieve a goal. Enjoy the process of pursuing a goal, instead of focusing on the outcome. The goal is easier to achieve when you enjoy each moment, the day-to-day process of taking action towards achieving the goal.

We tend to push happiness off as a destination to reach in the future, when we have joy available to us right in the here and now. All that is needed is to release all negative thoughts and perceptions that take us away from feeling our natural joy. The more at peace you are within, the more you will be able to experience true joy. Going within and being consciously aware of what you are thinking, on a regular basis, will help you to change your thoughts to more positive ones and to drop the ones that are of no use to you and that only bring you down. Life is a joy that is lived in each moment, where time is not a factor and there are no expectations.

LOVE BUILD ON SYMPATHY, IS NOTHING BUT A WEAK FOUNDATION.!

Don't force anyone to love you cause any love build on sympathy is a weak foundation. I'm glad that I don't fit in your fantasy world. I'm me, take me or not makes no difference bye..No matter what pain you've been through, tears will dry, broken hearts will heal, and somewhere out there the person who truly cares is waiting..A strong woman is one who gets her heart broken time and time again and still has the strength to gather the pieces to create a new life for herself. Remember that no matter what pain you have been through, tears will dry, broken hearts will heal, and somewhere out there the person who truly cares is waiting. you’re a woman and you are strong. Sometimes you meet certain people that can touch your soul in certain ways most people can’t. 
But you have to let them go because you realize that it just isn't the best time in your life for them to come. It seems like you meet the perfect people just when you can't handle them. I have all these feelings - these weird feelings, and I had this burning desire to express them. But I can’t. I just can’t. And these feelings - they’re trapped and they are like stuck in my heart. And I just feel so lonely. Do you know why people hate to admit they are lonely? 
It’s because when you do, everyone thinks that something is wrong with you. They think “I have people in my life, why don’t you?” But the strange thing is, you can have people in your life and still be alone. Because sometimes people do actually feel that way. Sometimes your life feels like it’s caving in on you. Sometimes people really do feel like they don’t want to exist, like they want to just curl up in a ball, and go into that place between life and death. 
Saying “I don’t want to exist” isn't saying “I want to go die”. It’s saying I wish that, for the time being, I could go somewhere and not have to feel. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. And if you don’t know how it feels to feel this way, then you have no place to judge anyone who does. I’m telling you, there’s nothing wrong with being lonely sometimes, it’s okay…you’ll be alright.! 

Job 10:1, My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

A WOMAN CAUGHT IN ADULTERY ENCOUNTERS JESUS.!

I can't deny it; I am not perfect and I admit that what I did was wrong. I was married off very young to a man much older than myself. I was more of a social asset for him than a life partner, and he showed me no affection whatsoever. So when a young man started paying me attention I was flattered and taken in my him. To my shame it didn't take him long to persuade me go to his rooms where he seduced me. The door flew open! My heart seemed to stop in my chest! Three men burst in and grabbed me by the arms. They didn't give me any time to rearrange my clothing as they dragged me off crying. I was paralysed with fear, because I knew I would almost certainly be killed. They were Pharisees, and had caught me in the very act of  adultery. I looked despairingly around for my lover; surely he would protect me, or had they arrested him as well? I searched his face, but all I saw was a smirk and and a wink to the men who were dragging me away.  I had been set up and betrayed.

They hauled me down the road and then flung me in a heap before a man I had never seen before. Immediately they challenged him. "Teacher", they said; "in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" I was petrified with terror. In my peripheral vision I could see men around me stooping to pick up jagged rocks from the side of the dirt road. I looked up at the stranger before me. He had no rock in his hand. There was no look of contempt on his face. Instead, his eyes seemed to reassure me.  Then he bent down and, instead of picking up a rock, he wrote something in the dust with his finger. 

I couldn't see clearly from my angle but it looked like a word written in Hebrew. The Pharisees kept on throwing questions at him, harsh and clamoring and eventually he straightened up and I heard him say, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Then he stooped once more and wrote another word in the sand. The crowd lent in and peered at the words he had written. My heart was racing, my eyes were awash with hot tears of shame and terror and I was at the point of passing out, yet I was aware that something else, something strange was happening. The men had stopped shouting and a supernatural silence had descended on the crowd. There were no sounds at all, not even a dog barking or a child crying. 

Then I heard a muffled thud, and another, and yet another and I  saw small puffs of dust rising all around me as one by one the men dropped the rocks they were carrying. Then they started to leave, the older men first, and then the others, until only my 'saviour' and I were left. He looked down at me and said, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" "No one, sir," I said. Then in a voice thick with compassion he said, "Then neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin." He reached down, took me by the hand and helped me to stand.!

FATHER I AM SO THANKFUL THAT YOU'RE MY GOD. I THANK YOU LORD THAT YOUR WORD PROMISE ME THAT YOU WILL NEVER FORSAKE THE RIGHTEOUS.!

Father I am so thankful that you are my Jehovah Jireh. I thank you Lord that Your word promises me that you will never forsake the righteous. Lord, thank you for revelation of what I need to do in my life. Lord, circumcise my mind, my heart and my soul. Take those things that are spiritual hindrances out of my life. God change me right now. Take away those things that would cause me to destroy any blessing that you would bring into my life. I surrender any unforgiveness that I may be harboring. I repent right now Lord of anything that I have done against your Word. I will no longer focus on the things that I don't have, but rather I will focus on You Lord. You are my first love and everything that I need. God, I need you to take me to a higher place in your. I need you to keep me right in the middle of my purpose so that Your plan for my life will be manifested here on earth. God you are almighty and I stand in faith today trusting that everything I need and desire according to Your Will shall come to pass as I keep your commands. I want to spend more time with you Lord. I want to work in ministry to advance your Kingdom. 
Lord, I will stop coming to you with more petitions than worship. I ask that you take this wheel right now Lord and work in me! I not only want to get aligned to your will for my life but also the timing that you have originally set forth. I command Satan to loose me right now and I cancel any assignment that he is planning. I take comfort in knowing that my blessings may be delayed but they are are not denied. I can't wait to see what you are going to do in my life as I work in Your Kingdom. I call my blessings down from heaven in the name of Jesus! I thank you and praise You for who you are and for being The Great I Am! These and all blessings I ask in The Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

PRAY FOR ALL SEASON CAUSE DELAY IS NOT DENIED. YOUR ON THE EDGE OF A BREAKTHROUGH. YOUR BLESSING IS AROUND THE CORNER.!

You're on the edge of a breakthrough. Your blessing is around the corner. Or what about "Your heart's desires will be fulfilled". How many times have you heard these words when someone is encouraging you while you are waiting on your requests to be granted and your visions or desires to come to pass? I have heard them too many times to count. I must admit that at times, waiting is nothing more than frustrating! There are times when I just want to raise my hand and say "Lord, Did you forget about your child down here?" There are times when I feel like living for God is just not bringing about the rewards that are promised although I know that is not true. I see others getting blessed (or so I think) and I lay sit wondering when my greatest blessings will come into manifestation. 

I pray, I obey, I love, I turn my cheek to enemies, and I am reaching to go to a higher level in God. But still, I wait. These are the times when I really have to get into God's Word to be reminded of His promises. What I've learned through prayer and revelation of scripture is that God's will always comes to pass. However, our freewill gives us the power to delay our blessings. 
WOW! You mean to tell me that some of the things that I have asked God for that have not been received because of me? God revealed to me that there are things that I needed to work on in my life in order for other blessings to be bestowed upon me. God doesn't work according to time. He works according to when you are ready for the blessing that He has stored up for you. The natural part of us is always worried about time while God is saying if you just take up your cross and follow the road that I have paved for you, time wouldn't be a factor to you either. If we want to live the life that God has planned for us, we have to walk the path that He has laid in front of us. We must change on the inside. 

God doesn't look at the physical circumcision. In order to extend into the greater blessings, there must be a total circumcision of the heart, the mind and the soul! God knows the plans that He has for us and I am certain that His plan is much greater than any plan I could have for myself! God also knows when we are ready to receive what we have asked for and He will not present it to us a moment before we are ready! While we are waiting, God is working - on the inside of us! I felt God saying to me, "My child, I don't need you to keep praying to me for the same things. I know that which you have asked and I am working on it. I need you to spend more time with me and let me mold you so that you will be ready to receive the greatness that I have stored up for you. I need you to let me change you and bring you to a higher level in me." At that moment, God revealed to me everything that I needed to do to get my blessings released from heaven - I literally shouted to the Most High God! When you know what you need to do, that there is half the battle. 

I want to encourage you to stop focusing on the fact that you have asked God to bless you with something and after 5, 10 or even 20 years, it hasn't happened. It doesn't mean that God is denying your request; it means that He is waiting on you to give Him your heart, your time and your life - completely! God gets tired of us asking, asking, asking and not totally surrendering our lives to Him. We must completely give everything over to God, live according to His Word, Trust His plan and wait on His promises. "I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread" (Psalm 37:25) - God has not forgotten about us. Be satisfied with what you have.Get beyond God blessing you and worship Him for who He is. Once you have allowed God to complete the spiritual circumcision in your life, His promises will follow once He sees that you are ready to receive the blessings.!
