Sugar

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 had forgotten to put sugar...

Too lazy to go for it, you somehow struggle through that sugarless taste 'till you realized undesolved sugar crystals at the bottom.

That's how life is.... We sometimes forget to make an effort to value what is around us....

Look around, maybe the sweetness your looking for is closer than you think.... Flash a SMILE HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE...

Foundation

If i buy a cookbook and memorize all that is in it, can i call myself a good cook? Obviously not. For whether i am a good cook or not does not depend on my memorizing the contents of a cookbook but on how i can declared delicious by somebody else.

A good house cannot be judge simply by its appearance but also by whether it can withstand the forces of nature like typhoons and earthwakes or whether it will be washed away by a flood. Thus the FOUNDATION is a very important part of the house.

In same manner, even if we memorize the Bible in its entirely, we may call ourselves someone with a gift of memorizing things, or perhaps someone might even call us Genious. But we cannot consider ourself a good Christians by the mere fact that we are familiar with the bible or have memorize it.

The proof of our faith will be truly seen in the works that we do. As paul says "i shall show you my faith by my works" (james 2:18). This is the FOUNDATION that will withstand. This is the FOUNDATION laid on rock. But a FOUNDATION that is built on rock implies hard work. The person who built sand sought the easy way to built a house. Easily built, easily destroy.

We need to dig deep into the ground to have a STRONG FOUNDATION and digging deeply implies hard work. Our faith is liken to that. If we live according to selected teaching only because we find such teaching to be easy, it will also be easy to distance ourselves from JEHOVAH GOD. But if through hard work, through patience and perseverance we strive to strengthen our faith, then we can withstand the storms that come and stand firm in our belief that JEHOVAH GOD is with us. This is where commitments to our faith comes in.

Doing what Jesus says is the STRONG FOUNDATION with which the tree of faith will spring forth, and from that tree will come abundance of PEACE.

Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You

• There comes a time when you must stand alone
• You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dream
• You must be willing to make sacrifices
• You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved
• Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged
• There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities
• Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better
• Be confident enough that you won’t settle for a compromise just to get by
• Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop and find your true sense of purpose in this life
• Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way

Gratitude

I'm grateful for the many days when clarity is strong

As well as those it seems that life has somehow led me wrong

For it's those times that awaken me & nudge me towards light

Till once again my hopes and dreams are clearly held in sight

I'm grateful for the love within the circles that I dwell

My family, friends and even those who've made my life seem like hell

For each of those have taught me more regarding how to love

Provide me feelings to express these things that I have

I am grateful for the right to dream, to hope, to wish

And to know that all my thoughts are merely seeds which based on love must grow

That if I’ll think them consciously and nurture them with care

These vision held, my heart desires, will soon be waiting there

I'm grateful for the fact I’ve learned that we consciously create

That they to mold and shape a life desired I must keep thinking straight

That when the fear that shows it's head which is based on false belief

I have free will to change the thoughts to those that brings relief

I'm grateful too for false belief which led me on my quest

For mentors met along the way, I truly feel blessed who clearly

Showed me of the need to understand my worth and higher truth

Which promises a life divine on earth?

I'm grateful for the fear I feel sometimes

Because I know that when its felt purging power exists

To help me grow the awareness of its presence shows there's something

More to learn that’s my focus must stay fixed on love to attract those things yearn

I'm grateful for the joy I feel, I’m grateful for the fear

Of understanding what is it that draws me near to the life

I know is waiting on the other side

And when it comes I must hold fast and use it as a guide

My gratitude goes deeper still, for breath, for sight

For the life for teachers who have shown me that my thoughts create my strife

I'm grateful for the plan which says whatever you receive

Is drawn to you through feelings felt created by belief

I'm grateful for all nature, the birds, the grass, and the trees

The lakes which hold abundant life, a summer evening breeze

The clouds above the ground below, the moon, the stars

The sun the days and nights which represent that another day is done

I'm grateful for the time to spend too deeply, go within

To top into the source of truth that’s sure to help me win

For it is there that truth comes known regardless what is taught

In manmade circles of world that form restrictive thought

I'm grateful for all my friends who are reading this today

For the bonds that we have formed since your path have crossed my way

And for the future and all it brings for all we have share

The giving of ourselves to show the world how much we care

I've learned to stay in gratitude no matter how things seem

That perceptions held as negatives will only slow your dream

So even though my path will lead through troubled spots

I know, I must keep on, keep focus fixed, on life's abundant flow

There's so much that I’m grateful for, though sometimes

I'll forget, belief rekindled from the past that perceive as threat

But it's these times I must remind myself of what I know

That when they show their presence, that they're here to help me grow

One final thought I’ll share today before I say I’m through

I'm so grateful for this word to give today to all of you

It is my wish that they will help you keep the attitude

Which leads you desire, and comes through gratitude
