~ IN A BLACK AND WHITE WORLD ~

If the world were black and white

A touch of color would still be there

Hear me out for just a second

And I'll tell you exactly where

The color would be in friendship

Beauty for sure is found

Nothing more can brighten a day

When you know a friend is around

Each friend offers a different color

Be it red, yellow or green

Perhaps they are the color of excitement

Or something more serene

But, sometimes like a rainbow

Every color they offer to you

My Dear Friend I wanted you to know

That's exactly what you do

Thank You For Adding Color

To My Black & White World!!!

(Dedicated to my friends, missing them n luv them alot.......!!!)

Whatever Happens to You


My Dear Friends, flee from all evil and from everything resembling it. Do not get angry, for anger leads to murder. Do not grumble, for this leads to blasphemy; be gentle-minded, for those of a gentle mind shall possess the earth. Be patient and have a loving heart.
Do not be one who stretches out his hands to receive but closes them when it comes to giving. If you have earned something by the work of your hands, pass it on as a ransom for your sins. Do not turn away from those who are in need, but share all things in common with your brothers.
Your heart shall not cling to the high and mighty, but turn to the good and humble folk. Accept as good whatever happens to you or affects you, knowing that nothing happens without God.

Four Things to Remember

• The riches of richest is intelligence;
• The greatest of poverty is stupidity.
  The loneliest isolation is conceit;
• The most noble value is goodness of character.
  

FRIENDS!!!

The old man turned to me & asked

"How many friends have u?"

Why 10 or 20 friends have I,

And named off just a few....

He rose quite slow with effort

And sadly shook his head

"A lucky child U are

to have so many friends,"he said

But think of what U are saying

There is so much U do not know

A friend is not just someone

To whom U say" Hello"

A friends a tender shoulder

On which to softly cry

Awell to pour your troubles down

And raise your spirits high

A friend is a hand to pull U up

From darkness & despair...

When all your other "so called" friends

Have helped to put U there

Atrue friend is an ally

Who can't be moved or bought

Avoice to keep your name alive

When others have forgot

But most of all a friend is a heart

A strong & sturdy wall

For from hearts of friends

There comes the greatest love of all!!!

So think of what I've spoken

For every word is true

And answer once again my child

How many friends have U???

And then he stood & faced me

Awaiting my reply

Softly I answered

"If lucky ..... one have 'I'

"YOU!!!"

Nice & Interesting....

Don't laugh plzzz!

Every little hour - every little day -

every little mile along the long, long way,

I can hear You calling.

I can hear You sing.

I can hear Your Music in the winds of Spring.

Anytime I wonder - anytime I say -

"Don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.

"I can hear You whisper, softer than a sigh -

"Don't worry about 'where' -

Babe -think about 'why'."

A roaring in the wind.

A whisper on the breeze.

Morning birdsong drifting through the forest trees.

Somewhere in the heart, where time has sorted it all-

I can hear You sing. I can hear You call.

Every little memory Every little dreamshining

like the sunlight on a mountain stream.

Down the years I hear it. Through the soul it rings.

I can hear You calling. I can hear You sing.

Anywhere I wander, whether high or low,I

hear You in the thunder - I feel You in the snow.

Even when I'm lonely, we're never far apart.

I can hear You drumming a solo in my heart.

A roaring in the wind. A whisper on the breeze.

Morning birdsong drifting through the forest trees.

Somewhere in the heart, where time has stored it all,

I can hear You sing! I can hear You call!

Plz dnt mind, juz kiding....!

Things you just don't see everyday.....

Wisdom from the desert

The thought that the affairs of the world, like those of the stars, are in God's hands - and therefore in good hands - apart from being actually true, is something that should give great satisfaction to anyone who looks to the future with hope. It should be the source of faith, joyful hope, and, above all, of deep peace. What have I to fear if everything is guided and sustained by God? Why get so worried, as if the world were in the hands of me and my fellow men? And yet it is so difficult to hold onto faith...

Special people in our lives

Special people in our lives

Don’t often come along ,

But when they do they touch us

just like a lovely song

A song filled with meaning

And moves our very soul

A song of inspiration

That helps us reach our goal

A song that makes our spirits sing

Our heavy hearts so light

A song that gives us courage

So we won't give up the fight

A song that makes us smile : )

When we are feeling blue

A song filled with laughter

It makes us feel brand new

You're like a lovely song

So soothing to the heart

A song composed by God himself

A priceless work of Art

Is'nt it cute!!!

"Dying is not romantic, and death is not a game
which will soon be over...
Death is not anything...death is not...
It's the absence of presence, nothing more...
the endless time of never coming back...
a gap you can't see, and when the wind blows
through it, it makes no sound....."
Keep Smiling :) :)

LESSONS FOR LIFE!

• Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
• Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
• Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
• Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
• Don't judge people by their relatives.
• Talk slowly but think quickly.
• Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
• When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

"Life can give u a hundred reasons to cry,

B ut u can give life a thousand reasons to smile."

Always keep smiling....!!!

LIFE...!

Unless U become a child...!


One thing children certainly accomplish, and that is that they love and wonder at the people and the universe around them. They live in the midst of squalor and confusion and see it now. They see people at the moment and love them and admire them. They forgive and they go on loving. They may look at the most vicious person, and if he is at that moment good and kind and doing something that they can be interested in or admire, there they are, pouring out their hearts to him. Oh, I can write with authority, they see only the beauty and the joy of other people. There is no criticism in their minds and hearts of those around them.

"REALITY"

I am now alone
It feels as if you've left me here to die
So all day i think of you
And begin to cry
All my dreams and all my fears
In you i did confide
And all these things you took with you
My love, my hopes, my pride
We had our times together
Now that world's a memory
We laughed, talked, and joked, but now
You wont acknowledge me
You were my comfort
A shoulder to lean on over the past few
years
Always there when i needed you
To wipe away my tears
Reality
Thats the bullet in my wounded heart
Only a word - but i can see
It's keeping us apart.

(For my most sweetest father, i miss u alot n alot n alot, luv u sooo very much, u know na??? :( :( :( )

"HOPE"

Hope is a word

that every hurting heart understands.

Hope shines brighter than

the brightest star on the darkest night.

Faith is bigger than the highest mountain.

And God is greater than any obstacle in your path.

Anything can be accomplished by those

who fully put their hearts into it.

The time to start is now; the place to start is here.

May hope cast its special light upon

your path and God bless everything you touch

in the hours, days, and moments still to come.

THE GREATEST POWER

Truth is power, but only when one has patience and requires of it no immediate effect. And one must have no specific aims. Somehow, lack of an agenda is the greatest power. Sometimes it is better not to think in terms of plans; here months may mean nothing, and also years. Truth must be sought for its own sake, its holy, divine greatness.

Is'nt he cute.....!!!

"Life Must Go On Anyway"

People are often unreasonable, illogical,

and self-centered; forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish,

ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends

and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,

someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,

they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will

often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway.

THE MAYONNAISE JAR AND 2 CUPS OF COFFEE

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle,

when 24 hours in a day are not enough,

remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee...

A professor stood before his philosophy class and hads

ome items in front of him.When the class began, wordlessly,

he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and

proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles

and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.

The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.

Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with a unanimous yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table

and poured the entire contents into the jar,

effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed."Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided,

"I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things -- your God,family, your children,

your health, your friends,and your favorite passions -- things that if

everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like yourjob, your house, and your car.

The sand is everything else -- the small stuff.""If you put the sand into the jar first,"

he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or thegolf balls.

"The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and

energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Play with your children. Take time to getmedical checkups.Take your partner out to dinner.

Play another 18.There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities.

The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter

how full your life mayseem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.

"Please share this with someone you care about. I JUST DID.

STRONGER....

Love, I thought, is stronger than death or the fear of death.
Only by it, by love, life holds together and advances.

Every Human Heart

The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small corner of evil. It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.

As a frightened baby bird,

I lay on the cold ground,

alonefluttering helplessly...

I long for the gentle touch

of someone's caring hands...

to lift me, carry me, and hold me

up to the warmth of the sun,

repairing the damage,

healing the pain and safely

returning me to the security of my nest.

Each Choice...!

As the eagle soars in the endless blue,
Its shadow races after it, far below.
Yet space does not divide:
bird and shadoware linked.
So too each act—each choice
and consequence.

When We Share Woundedness!

How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide our wounds when we are all wounded! Community requires the ability to expose our wounds and weaknesses to our fellow creatures. It also requires the ability to be affected by the wounds of others...But even more important is the love that arises among us when we share, both ways, our woundedness.
