Embracing Imperfection
Pls do read it. Its wonderful & so very true…
When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.
On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember Watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!
When I got Up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad For burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said: 'Baby, I love burned toast.'
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if He really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Debbie, your momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!'
You know, life is full of imperfect things...and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook.What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is the one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting marriage relationship.
And that's my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good,the bad, and the ugly parts of your married life and lay them at the feet of GOD. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a marriage where burnt toast isn't a deal-breaker!
We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent - child or friendship!!

* WHY GOD ALLOWS PAIN
This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen... A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists." "Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things." The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist." "How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!" "No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside." "Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me." "Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
! BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS!!!!!!!
* Successful people help others who are slow in learning
It was a sports stadium.
Eight Children were standing on the track to participate in the running event.
* Ready! * Steady! * Bang !!!
With the sound of Toy pistol, all eight girls started running .
Hardly have they covered ten to fifteen steps , one of the smaller girl slipped and fell down , due to bruises and pain she started crying .
When other seven girls heard this sound , stopped running, stood for a while and turned back , they all ran back to the place where the girl fell down.
One among them bent, picked and kissed the girl gently and enquired ' Now pain must have reduced' . All seven girls lifted the fallen girl , pacified her, two of them held the girl firmly and they all seven joined hands together and walked together and reached the winning post.
Officials were shocked .
Clapping of thousands of spectators filled the stadium. Many eyes were filled with tears and perhaps it had reached the GOD even! .
YES.
This happened in Hyderabad [ INDIA ], recently! .
The sport was conducted by National Institute of Mental Health .
.All these special girls had come to participate in this event and they are spastic children .
Yes,
they were mentally retarded Challenged .
What did they teach this world? Teamwork? Humanity? Equality among all ?
Successful people help others who are slow in learning so that they are not left far behind.
This is really a great message... spread it!
We can't do this ever because we have brains!!!!!!!!!

* Heart Touching..
Heart Touching..
I was a just-born and she was Twenty-Five,Though we were we, we were one.I would cryout in Latin and she would respond in Greek,I would learn nothing but she never got tired to teach.I was surrounded by monsters eager to pull my cheek,but they would vanish the moment I was wet and weep.She would come running and hold me in her arms,as if I had won the contest of the charms.Now I was able to walk and chew,andhey, I was two.I and she could now understand each other,I was her everything and she needed no other.I would try to walk and fall down,But knowing she was with me, the fear of getting hurt was now gone.We still could not converse that effectively,But she would understand my needs so easily.I could now roam about free,because now I have turned three.I was ready to join a new world,my academic life was now gonna mould.She would dress me as best as a prince,but when I would come back, she would need at least an hour to rinse.I was now able to talk,I was a ferry and she was my dock.I still remember the child, whose shirt I had tore,Hey buddy, I have turned four.I now came home a little late,Nevertheless finding her waiting at the gate.She would hug me and carry me in her arms,it felt like flying through the farms.We now did the homework together,I would spoil the home and she used to work.Years passed and now I was fifteen, and with each year I would forget to lean.I wouldn't care for what she said, because now I had become mean.She would ask me to study for a good future,but I was busy in a different culture.Now I had many shes in my life,I dreamed of having one of them as my wife.I changed a lot which she did not teach,She would try to hug me but I was out of reach.She still waited for me at the gate,but I would look at her with utmost hate.She would be awake till late in the night,because I wasn't home, I was in a fight.She had so much to scold, but she never did say,hoping to find me better the next day.Time went on and now I am grown,lost in the world of my own.Iand she, between us have a river,I have left her for my career.When I was young, forme, she sacrificed her ambitions,but I don't care, I now have my own mission.I amnot with her now, I am in a different city,she is so old now but I don't even pity.She needs me now but I am nowhere to find,in the race for appraisal, I have become blind.In a few years from now, I will be two,there will be in my life someone new.Then I'll forget even to bother,I am her son and she is my Mother.
Go someone is still waiting for you

* KNOW UR Value....!
KNOW UR Value....!
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 500 note.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 500 note?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you but first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the note up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth Rupee 500/-.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
You are special. Don't ever forget it!

"Parents"-simple story with great moral.....
Parents
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by...
The little boy grew up, and he no longer played around the tree everyday. One day, the boy came back to the tree with a sad look on his face.
"Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy.
"I am no longer a kid, I don't play around trees anymore." The boy replied, "I want toys. I need money to buy them."
"Sorry, I don't have money...but you can pick all my apples and sell them so you will have money."
The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy didn't come back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited.
"Come and play with me," the tree said.
"I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family.
We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?"
"Sorry, I don't have a house, but you can chop off my branches to build your house."
So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn't come back afterward. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted.
"Come and play with me!" the tree said.
"I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?"
"Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy."
So the boy cut the tree truck to make a boat. He went sailing and didn't come back for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he had been gone for so many years. "Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you..." the tree said.
"I don't have teeth to bite," the boy replied.
"No more trunk for you to climb on."
"I am too old for that now" the boy said. "I really can't give you anything ... the only thing left is my dying roots," the tree said with sadness.
"I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years," the boy replied.
"Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest.
Come sit down with me and rest." The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.......
******************
This is the story of everyone.
The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad... When we grew up, we left them... We only came to them when we needed something or when we were in trouble.
No matter what, parents will always be there and give you everything they can to make you happy.
It may seem as if the way the boy treats the "tree" in the story is cruel, but many of us take our parents for granted in the same way.
Never forget how important your parents are and try not to take them for granted...they may not be around forever

A Newborn's Conversation With God
A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.''And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.''Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.''But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.'At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'Lift a mother's spirit, send this to every mother you know

2 BEAUTIFUL STORIES TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE
1. There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl. Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his future didn't seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come back. She also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the both of them, so they went their own ways there and then... Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make something out of himself.Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy had set up his own company .. You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't take him long to realize they were his girl's parents. With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own company, car, condo, etc. He made it! What he saw next confused him, the couple was walking towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car and followed...and he saw his girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone and he saw his paper cranes right beside her... Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had happened. They explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with cancer. She had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not want to be his obstacle... therefore she had chosen to leave him. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you wa nt them to,doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. She had wantedher parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him to her again...he can take some of those back with him...Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind mayescape but what's in your heart will remain forever.The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside her knowing you can't have her, see her or be with herever again.........hope you understand.Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much toyou, for you might wake up one morning losing that person who you thought meant nothing to you.
