WHEN UPON LIFE'S BILLOWS

This blog writting is by hannah, my dearst friend who is a guest editor of my blog. I reeely loved this one, my eyes were filled with tears and there was a smile on my face when I read this. Thank you so much. Love you, Hannah.


Grace and I went to same college, which was far away from our homes. We stayed in same hostel faced same problems. Right from homesickness to culture shock. We met people who lived lives that were 10 yrs ancient. Life went on we have joy and tears. One thing that we dint realize until late was that when upon life's billows tossed us, we still had something to laugh about, we had something to smile about.

Grace's dad who treated me like a family member was suddenly diagnosed with cancer in the urinary bladder. All of us were upset. We could not believe that a man who lived a much-disciplined life-style could be affected with any health issues. Thankfully, the good Lord opened all the ways and best doctors treated uncle and operated the lump. While uncle was still in bed, many people visited him. Aunty was a very sweet person very nervous and anxious just like any other wife and mother would be. The environment in the hospital was quiet and people came with lot of empathy and there was a lot of seriousness in the air. Aunty was so nervous and told one friend "yes, they removed this lump from his uterus (exists only in women)." Uncle who was in bed could not laugh as it was his urinary bladder that was operated indeed and it would hurt if he added pressure on it by laughing. When uncle was fine enough to talk, he said in a funny tone, "some people have created rumors that I have a uterus."

When grace was conversing about this funny event that occurred in the hospital, I realized that when upon life's billows you are tempest tossed God still sheds a ray of hope and gives you a reason to laugh and smile.

Few reasons to SMILE.... :)


The world is often a reflection of Yourself. If we smile, the world smiles.

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.

A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks.

Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile.

If you don't have a smile, I'll give you one of mine.

Smiling is infectious, You can catch it like the flu. Someone smiled at me today, And I started smiling too.

It takes seventeen muscles to smile and forty-three to frown.

“If you see a friend without a smile; give him/her one of yours.”

Few quotes on SMILE :)

SUPERSIZE YOUR PRAYERS

Just read this story from Joel Osteen's book about a lil girl called Shari who was three years old when something sharp fell on her hand and she lost the tips of two of her fingers. They rushed her to the emergency room and after they stopped the bleeding, a plastic surgeon examined Shari’s fingers.
“I’m sorry”, he told the lil girl’s father. She’ll never have her nails n they’ll always be lil shorter. The lil gurl’s dad tol the doctor,” I believe God can restore my lil gurls finger’s and make them normal again.


The surgeon said, “They will never be the ryt length & for sure she won’t have fingernails.” The lil gurl’s dad did not argue but stuck to his beliefs.

Six weeks later when the doctor took off the bandage his first words were, “Oh my God.” “The fingernails grew back”, the surgeon said.


To this day Shari’s finger looks perfectly normal. Her story reminds me that we should never be afraid to ask God for uncommon blessings. I respect medical reports. But there is another expert who breathed life into us all. God made you. He holds the world in His hands. Dare to ask God for bigger things!!! Super-size your prayers!!!

CONFESSION OF A PRECHER'S KID

Being a Preacher's kid is not very easy. Must say! Well... me and my sis, Glory have come up with some advantages and disadvantages of being a Preacher/ Pastor's Kids. I bet you that those of us who are Pastor's kid will agree with us on few of these things mentioned below. This blog article is dedicated to DAD, with love Grace & Glory

PS: No offense to anyone. This is purely for fun!!!



ADVANTAGES OF BEING THE PRECHER'S KID

1. Sneaking into the Church when no one’s around and cranking up the sound system, using the church instruments and pretending to be rock stars!

2. Getting to hang out with other Preacher's Kids and realizing we weren’t as messed up as we thought we were!

3. Having a command of King James English (Ex: Thou, Thee etc) will come in handy if we ever decide to become Shakespearean actors.

4. Building massive muscles by lifting Dad's set of Bible Commentaries, Concordance and Dakes Bible at home. (Obviously coz its has infinite number of pages)

5. Being made the captain of the Church cricket team even if you are the worst player in the team.

6. Getting introduced personally to the special guest speaker who visits our church :D

7. The entire congregation is super nice and kind to you in church (it's not the same at your work place, isn't it)

DISADVANTAGES OF BEING THE PRECHER'S KID

1. Having every stupid thing we ever said and did used as a sermon illustration.

2. Always being called on to answer the tough Bible questions during quiz.

3. Always being in the lime light and mom asking us to behave ourselves in the Church.

4. Your prayer will be evaluated for its volume, content, dramatic presentation and length. Ex: Like how many "ums" used in the prayer.

5. Always being the topic of discussion for church members for every small thing said and done (Ex: oh, Pastor's kid!!!)

6. The entire church wanting to know how much percentage we scored in our board exams.




Kindly add in if i have forgotten someting :P

CROSS ROADS!!!

Many of us, at one time or the other in life, we reach the cross roads of life. I realized that every single day have to make many choices. Sometimes you make the right choice and sometimes you end up making the wrong choice, which myt hurt you. But what happens when you donno what to choose and you are not able to decide what is the best for you. This is a poem I wrote in such a state of confusion, when stuck in the cross roads of my life!


I'm standing here on a cross road,
Feeling so lost in the dense crowd

Confused and distressed my head I bow
"Which way to go?",is the question right now!

Dreams that I have are beyond and above,
None can imagine the things that I love

Too many questions running on my mind,
Is that fake care that is making me blind?

Struggling to let go off what I like
Within myself, my heart is on a strike

Lord help me choose the right way,
That leads me to you every single day

Hope you liked my poem. I think the best way to make the right choice is to ask God :)

YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING


A couple of weeks ago I heard this story of this young guy who graduated from school. When he wanted to step into college, his dad told him to begin to praying for his future. So the young guy prayed for three things that he always wanted to have in life.
Namely, For:
1. A bag full of money
2. A big vehicle to travel
3. Lot of girls around him
He then graduated and he got a job as a conductor in a girls bus, where he had a bag full of money, in a bus with lota girls around him. Be careful about what you pray, coz God answers your prayers!!! :) :D ;)

Some of our prayers are kinda silly. So I guess we need to be a lil carefull while we pray. For some of my prayers I bet God would say, “You've gotta be kidding”!!! :) lol :D

Btw God must be smiling when He reads some of these prayers below:




lol, kids are so cute and innocent. Aren’t they?? =) Hope it made u smile too as it made me smile =)

WHEN GOD MADE YOU

Right now, at the moment this is the song I'm so crazy about. I'm lyk humming it all day long :) I so wano sing it for that spl one, my prince charming :P :D. I dono where he is and wen I'm gonna meet him . But I believe God will bring him in HIS time. Till then I will be waiting and praticing to sing it fa him :) This song is dedicated to the love of my life!!!(whom I'm yet to meet) :) <3




It's always been a mystery to me
How two hearts can come together
And love can last forever
But now that I have found you, I believe
That a miracle has come
When God sends the perfect one

Now gone are all my questions about why
And I've never been so sure of anything in my life

I wonder what God was thinking
When He created you
I wonder if He knew everything I would need
Because He made all my dreams come true

When God made you
He must have been thinking about me <3


I promise that wherever you may go
Wherever life may lead you
With all my heart I'll be there too
From this moment on I want you to know
I'll let nothing come between us
I'll love what ever you love

He made the sun He made the moon
to harmonise in perfect tune
One can't move without the other
They just have to be together
And that is why I know it's true
You're for me and I'm for you
Cause my world just can't be right
Without you in my life

:) :P :D
