GOD IS ALWAYS AROUND US

Something beautiful to share...

The man whispered, 'God, speak to me' and a meadowlark sang.

But, the man did not hear.

So the man yelled, 'God, speak to me' and the thunder rolled across the sky.

But, the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said, 'God, let me see you.'

And a star shined brightly.

But, the man did not see.

And, the man shouted, 'God, show me a miracle.'

And, a life was born.

But, the man did not notice.

So, the man cried out in despair, 'Touch me God, and let me know you are here.'

Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.

But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.

I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted... even in our electronic age.

So I would like to add one more:

The man cried, 'God, I need your help!'

And an e-mail arrived reaching out with good news and encouragement.

I want God to bless you and your friends.

Thus, I choose to publish it in my blog, “Something2Share”.

Please pass this to your friends who can pass on to their friends so that many people can be blessed.

Have A Blessed Day!

Dear Old Friends

Keep in touch while we still have time.

If we can meet up, please don't call.

If you can call, please don't sms or email.

OK. Please sms or email rather than not hearing from you at all.

Do share your thoughts and experiences here.
Stay healthy and God Bless.

ROAD TO SUCCESS

HIRING RIGHT PERSONS

Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door.

Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation.

If they are counting the bricks, Put them in the ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT.

If they are recounting them, Put them in AUDITING.

If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, Put them in ENGINEERING.

If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, Put them in PLANNING.

If they are throwing the bricks at each other, Put them in OPERATIONS.

If they are sleeping, Put them in SECURITY.

If they have broken the bricks into pieces, Put them in INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.

If they are sitting idle, Put them in HUMAN RESOURCES.

If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved, put them in SALES.

If they have already left for the day, Put them in MARKETING.

If they are staring out of the window, Put them on STRATEGIC PLANNING.

And then last but not least, if they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them in TOP MANAGEMENT.

WHO DOES WHAT

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.

The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."

The husband argued, "You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."

Wife replied, "No! You should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."

Husband protested, "I can't believe that, show me."

So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says "HEBREWS"

ESE or KEE (KEY)

An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA when the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of -ese are you?"

Confused, the Japanese replied, "Sorry, Sir, but I don't understand what you mean."

The American repeated, "What kind of -ese are you?"

Again, the Japanese was confused over the question.

The American, now irritated, then yelled, "What kind of -ese are you...Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Javanese or other kind of -ese?"

The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese."

A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked what kind of 'key' was he.

The American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you mean what kind of '-key' am I?"

The Japanese said, "Are you a Yankee, donkey, or monkey?"

Never makes fun of other races.

You never know others will repay you “insult with insult.”

ESE & BERG

One Chinese person walked into a bar in America late one night and he saw Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushed over to him, and asked for his autograph. Instead, Spielberg gave him a slap and said, "You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Harbor, get out of here."

The astonished Chinese man replied "It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbor, it was the Japanese!”

"Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg.

In return, the Chinese gave Spielberg a slap and said,” You sank the Titanic; my forefathers were on that ship."

Shocked, Spielberg replied "It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me."

The Chinese replied "Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same."

(This particular joke won an award for the best joke in a competition in Britain)

Never look down on other races.

What I’ve learned from Confucius:
“What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others!”

JESUS IS WATCHING YOU

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables. He picked up a CD player to place in his sack, when a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."

He nearly jumped out of his kin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze.

When he heard nothing more after a while, he shook his head and continued. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, “Jesus is watching you."

Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.

"Did you say that?" he hissed at the parrot.

"Yep," the parrot confessed, and then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you that he's watching you."

The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"

"Moses," replied the bird.

"Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a bird Moses?"

Moses replied, "The kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."

Something2Share….

May be you have a good laugh after reading this joke, but brothers and sisters of Christ,

JESUS is watching you

You see
“Things you are supposed not to do, you do.” That’s sin!
“Things you are supposed to do, you don’t do.” That’s unrighteous!

Knowing that
JESUS is watching you
So

Things you are supposed not to do, you don’t do. “Thou shall not sin.”
Things you are supposed to do, you do. “Thou shall be righteous.”

Always remember that
JESUS is watching you
All the times

Don’t Quit! (The Bamboo Story)

The story as it was told to me:

One day I decided to quit.
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality.
I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.

"God", I said.
"Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"

His answer surprised me!

"Look around", He said.
"Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

"Yes", I replied.

"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo." He said.

"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit." He said.

"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle." He said to me.

"Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots?"

"I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you."

"Don't compare yourself to others." He said.
"The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful."

"Your time will come", God said to me. "You will rise high"

"How high should I rise?" I asked.

"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.

"As high as it can?" I questioned

"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

I left the forest and bring back this story.

I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.
He will never give up on you.
Never regret a day in your life.

Good days give you happiness.
Bad days give you experiences.
Both are essential to life.

Noah's Ark

Everything I need to know, I learned from
NOAH'S ARK.

ONE: Don't miss the boat.

TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

SIX: Build your future on high ground.

SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

EIGHT: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

NINE: When you're stressed, float a while.

TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

ELEVEN: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

Facts To Know

How Business Is Done

Father: "I want you to marry a girl of my choice"
Son: "I will choose my own bride!"
Father: "But the girl is Bill Gates’ daughter"
Son: "Well, in that case...ok"

Next, the father approaches Bill Gates.
Father: "I have a husband for your daughter."
Bill Gates: "But my daughter is too young to marry!"
Father: "But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank."
Bill Gates: "Ah, in that case...ok"

Finally the father goes to see the president of the World Bank.
Father: "I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president."
President: "But I already have more vice- presidents than I need!"
Father: "But this young man is Bill Gates’ son-in-law."
President: "Ah, in that case...ok"

This is how business is done!

Moral of the story:

Even If you have nothing yet, you can get anything.
But your attitude should be positive.

You see….
If your father is a poor man,
It is your fate.

But if your father-in-law is a poor man,
It's your stupidity!

THINK ABOUT IT IF YOU ARE STILL SINGLE

One Moment listen please

The Moment you are in Tension
You will lose your Attention
Then you are in total Confusion
And you will feel Irritation
Then you will spoil personal Relation
Ultimately, you won't get Co –Operation
Then you will make things Complication
Then your blood pressure may raise Caution
And you may have to take Medication
Instead, understand the Situation
And try to think about the Solution
Many problems will be solved by Discussion
This will work out better in your Profession
Don't think it's my free Suggestion
It's only for your Prevention
If you understand my Intention
You will never come again to Tension
- Bill Gates

JUST SHARE!

When we share laughter,
There's twice the fun;
When we share success,
We've surpassed what we've done.

When we share problems,
There's half the pain;
When we share tears,
A rainbow follows rain.

When we share dreams,
They become more real;
When we share secrets,
It's our hearts we reveal.

If we share a smile,
That's when our love shows;
If we share a hug,
That's when our love grows.

If we share with someone
On whom we depend,
That person is always
Family or friend.

And what draws us closer
And makes us all care,
Is not what we have,
But the things we share

Let's share the Happy Moments of Life!
