BECAUSE

BECAUSE
By TD Jakes
 
Just because no one has been fortunate enough to
realize what a gold mine you are,
Doesn't mean you shine any less.
Just because no one has been smart enough to figure out
that you can't be topped,
Doesn't stop you from being the best.
Just because no one has come along to share your life,
Doesn't mean that day isn't coming.
Just because no one has made this race worthwhile,
Doesn't give you permission to stop running.
Just because no one has realized how much of an
awesome woman you are,
Doesn't mean they can affect your femininity.
Just because no one has shown up who can love you on
your level, Doesn't mean you have to sink to theirs.
Just because you deserve the very best there is,
Doesn't mean that life is always fair.
Just because God is still preparing your king,
Doesn't mean that you're not already a Queen.
Just because your situation doesn't seem to be progressing
right now, doesn't mean you need to change a thing.
Keep shining, keep running, Keep hoping, and keep praying,
Keep being exactly what you are already. COMPLETE!!
Send this on to your female friends who need
to keep on doing what they do best.
BEING A WOMAN OF GOD!!!!

Why Teachers Are So Stressed?

Love and Sorrow...Felt By All living Creatures

Here his wife is injured and the condition is fatal. She was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road.

Here he brought her food and attended to her with love and compassion.

He brought her food again but was shocked to find her dead. He tried to move her....a rarely-seen effort for swallows!




Aware that his sweetheart is dead and will never come back to him again, He cries with adoring love.


He stood beside her, saddened of her death.


Finally aware that she would never return to him, he
Stood beside her body with sadness and sorrow.









Millions of people cried after watching this picture in
America and Europe and even in India . It is said that the
Photographer sold these pictures for a nominal fee to the
Most famous newspaper in France . All copies of that
Newspaper were sold out on the day these pictures were published.


And many people think animals don't have a brain or feelings?????

Think again....

ONLY A MOTHER WOULD KNOW.....

Cup of Tea .

One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me.

I was maybe 2 1/2 years old. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as

a gift and it was one of my favourite toys.

Daddy was in the living room en grossed in the evening news when I

brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several

cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home.

My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of

tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!' My Mom waited, and sure

enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she

watches him drink it up.

Then she says, (as only a mother would know.. :)

'Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?

take some time...

You are very comfortable, easy going, and you definitely know how to have fun but sometimes you take it to an extreme. You always know what you are doing and you are always in control of your life.. Others may not see things as you do, but that doesn't mean that you always have to do what is right. Try to remember, your happy spirit may hurt you or others.

(17-23 points) You are Snoopy:
You are fun; you are very cool and popular. You always know what's in and you ' re never out of style , you are good at knowing how to satisfy everyone else.

(24-28 points) You are Elmo:
You have lots of friends and you are also popular, always willing to give advice and help out a person in need. You are very optimistic and you always see the bright side of things. Some good advice:try not to be too much of a dreamer. Dreaming too big could cause many conflicts in your life.

BURNED TOAST

"When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.


On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!


When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And! I'll never forget what he said: 'Baby, I love burned toast.'


Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if He really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!' You know, life is full of imperfect things....and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook.


What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's a fault - and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

And that's my prayer for all of us today. That we will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of our life and lay them at the feet of GOD. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give us a relationship where burnt toast isn't a deal-breaker! We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!!



So, never let disappointments cause us to lose hope, for God is always with us. Therefore my friends,

REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS. I WILL SAY  AGAIN REJOICE. ( PHILIPPIANS 4:4 )


The Beauty of Life does not depend on how happy you are…


But how happy others can be…Because of You!!!

The HOLY Alphabet

Although things are not perfect  Because of trial or pain  Continue in thanksgiving  Do not begin to blame  Even when the times are hard  Fierce winds are bound to blow  God is forever able  Hold on to what you know  Imagine life without His love  Joy would cease to be  Keep thanking Him for all the things  Love imparts to thee  Move out of "Camp Complaining"  No weapon that is known  On earth can yield the power  Praise can do alone  Quit looking at the future  Redeem the time at hand  Start every day with worship  To "thank" is a command  Until we see Him coming  Victorious in the sky  We'll run the race with gratitude  Xalting God most high  Yes, there'll be good times and yes, some will be bad, but...  Zion awaits us in glory...where none are ever sad!  Remember . . . . The shortest distance between a problem and it's solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.  The one who kneels before the Lord can stand up to anything.
