A Cup of Coffee

Life is like having a cup of coffee. You sit by the window, lift the cup and take a sip. Only to realize that somebody forgot to put sugar. Too lazy to go for it you somehow struggle to finish the better drink. Afterwards, you discover undissolved sugar crystals sitting at the bottom. That's how life is, we sometimes forget to make the effort to value what is around us. Look around, maybe the sweetness you are looking for is closer than you think. Have your coffee and make it sweet.

Have Faith

Don't be afraid to lose or fail,
No ocean is crossed until you sail;
No victory is won without a fight,
No birds migrate without a flight.

Have faith 'cause God is with you all the way.

Colored

A black child's poem

When i born, i black
When i grow, i black
When i sick, i black
When i cold, i black
When i mad, i black
When i afraid, i black
When i die, i black

Now you American fellas..
When you born, you pink
When you grow, you white
When you sick, you green
When you cold, you blue
When you mad, you red
When you afraid, you yellow
When you die, you gray

"Now, you call me colored?"

Period

The teacher asked "How important is a period?"
The child replied, "It is very important. When my sister missed her period, my dad cried, my mom fainted and our driver disappeared."

When We Share

When we share laughter, it's twice the fun.
When we share problems, it eases half the pain.
When we share tears, a rainbow follows the rain.
When we share secrets, it's our hearts we reveal...

What draws us closer and makes us all care is not what we have but the things we share.

A Caterpillar

Consider yourself a caterpillar. The ones who love you are the nourishing leaves. The ones who hurt you are the cocoon. Remember that you won't be a butterfly without nourishment and you won't develop wings without the cocoon. There are no heroes nor villains in life... Just people with different roles to teach you one great lesson - and that is to FLY.

Measures of Love

One of the greatest measures of love is its ability to let the other person grow with freedom and not with fear. Love should be able to give us enough space to be ourselves and explore our world yet still be within reach of caring and protective arms. Love should be happy when others succeed and make good in their ways. Love should be concerned not only with its own needs but that of others as well. When we learn to love without comparing and counting, then we have learned to love the way we should.

No Space

The dermatologist said, "I have good news for you!"
"Really?", the girl replied. "What is it?"

Wisdom and Life

The student stood up and answered...

"BLESSINGS."

Serenity

Serenity...
To walk when others are running;
To whisper when others are shouting;
To sleep when others are restless;
To smile when others are angry;
To pause when others are hurrying;
To pray when others are doubting;
To think when others are confused;
To face turmoil yet feel composure;
To know inner calm inspite of everything;
To sleep in the middle of a storm.

This is the test of serenity.
This is Christ's Life!

Can tell how far they can go!
