The Joy of Serving 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Source: UnknownI held onto the hand of my shivering granddaughter as we waited our turn to get into the huge barn-like building. We couldn't see inside because of the length of the line up and so we passed our time watching the outside lineups. Volunteers were busily placing frozen turkeys into bags at the head of one line up and in the other, families and individuals were receiving milk. The parking lot was filled with trucks and cars and still more were waiting to get onto the lot. Strangely, though vehicles were blocked, no one honked nor appeared impatient. It seemed surreal as though everyone had been touched by something magical. Finally we could see into the building and I was overcome with emotion as my eyes took in hundreds of overflowing boxes. Each box filled with care represented not only hours of time on the part of volunteers, but the generosity and caring of hundreds of people. The boxes were filled with food for empty stomachs. Some boxes sported brand new toys, gifts Read more:Serving

The Three Trees 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods, They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said "Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty." Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take 20 kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull." Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest.

I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me."After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees.

The Apple Basket 1970-01-01 00:59:59 One day an elderly man entered into a hospital. He was grumpy from being on medication and the nurses thought him to be insane, as he yelled for his wife to get the apple basket. By the time they had checked him into his room the nurses were exhausted from the fight he was putting up. "Sir you have to calm down we are doing everything we can for you" they would try to explain. "I don't need your help" the grumpy man would yell "I want my apple basket". He finally slept. The nurses sighed with relief and talked among themselves whether they should call the hospital psychologist about the old man and his obsession with the apple basket. As they talked and laughed about the situation the wife came in carrying the basket of apples. They looked kind of stunned as she asked if she could see her husband and deliver his basket. Sure, they agreed as they watched her slip past into his room. Curiosity consumed them over the next few weeks as they tended to the elderly man. He was eaten with can Read more:Apple

The price for LOVE 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising for 4 pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of little boy. "Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies." "Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money." The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. "I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?" "Sure," said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle. "Here, Dolly!" he called. Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed Read more:price

Do You have Brain? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Don't be surprised with this question, I'm not asking you this question. It is not at all uncommon in our day to meet people who insist that no intelligent person can accept what is not in complete agreement with human reason or what lies outside the realm of human experience. Which reminds us of how an aged Quaker once confronted another old rationalist. This rationalist man declared: ";I will not believe in the existence of what has never been seen; we are creatures of reason you know." "Have you ever seen France?" queried the Quaker.. "No, sir, but others have, and so my reason allows me to believe in its existence upon their testimony. "Ah, you will believe only in what you or another has seen." "That's it, you have my idea exactly.""Have you ever seen your brains?""No, sir.""Have you ever met anyone who has seen them?""No sir.""Do you believe you have any?"So, in our life faith is more important than anything else. Especially when it comes to GOD or A Capable MASTER, it should Read more:Brain

Pills to reduce The Weight or Life? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I was listening to an FM Channel from Malaysia this morning. In the news section they have told that a lady in Alor Star at the age of 32 passed away after she was hospitalized with the reason of Kidney problem. Later it was found out that she was taking some weight reducing pills that was banned by Malaysian Government for the past few months and it affected her this way by even taking her life. I feel sad for her as her ignorance was one of the reason to take her own life away in this manner.In this modern world, everybody is thinking that reducing weight is not a problem at all. Just take some weight reducing pills and can see the results in few months. I would say the society is really spoiled by such pills. We all have to think that how dangerous this kind of side of effects could be? There are so many natural ways to reduce

. When we went in for a Jungle walk, it made me feel like I am being very close to the nature. It was more thrilling to walk thru some of the challenging slippery trekking path to reach the desired destinations. First I had no plans to go there as when I called initially all the Hotels were full. Later on Saturday I made up my mind to just get there first and check the rest and it worked out. Everything went on smooth especially our worry about getting transport and accommodation. There are many vegetable forms located in various parts of the Highland. They cultivate many fresh vegetables like Cabbage, Radish, Lettuce, Green Leaves, Corn and some fruits like Strawberry and Cameron Apple (tastes more like small size Honeydew mixed with apple). We could understand how they grow all th

The Obstacle in our Path 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a mountainside walk pathway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear as already walking on a small mountain path is very difficult, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the pathway. The peasant learned what many others never understand.Every obstacle present

Look into the Eyes 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It was a bitter, cold evening in northern Virginia many years ago. The old man's beard was glazed by winter's frost while he waited for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body became numb and stiff from the frigid north wind.He heard the faint, steady rhythm of approaching hooves galloping along the frozen path. Anxiously, he watched as several horsemen rounded the bend. He let the first one pass by without an effort to get his attention. Then another passed by, and another. Finally, the last rider neared the spot where the old man sat like a snow statue. As this one drew near, the old man caught the rider's eye and said, "Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side? There doesn't appear to be a passageway by foot."Reining his horse, the rider replied, "Sure thing. Hop aboard." Seeing the old man was unable to lift his half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman dismounted and helped the old man onto the horse. The horseman took the old man

Global Warming - Play your part 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I always wanted to write something about this issue. This morning when I read an article titled 'Malaysian hill resorts turning into hot spots', I decided to certainly write something about it. As you know that I have posted a short note about my trip to Cameron Highland during Chinese New Year Holidays. I also mentioned that in that trip I got the feel of being very close to the nature. Chances like that seem to be fading away with the increasing forest devastation for building resorts and to do farming. People living up in the hill mentioned that during the olden days they can't come out of House without wearing a thick sweater, nowadays just a thin shirt even without sleeves will do. Environmentalists mentioned that the highest temperature measured in Cameron Highland was only 24.6 deg Celsius in 1984. Apparently due to the above mentioned factors it was measured 27.9 deg Celsius in 1998. This way it will go up till many degrees higher unless and until something is done. Unusual Read more:Global

Scars of The Anger 1970-01-01 00:59:59 There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence.The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily, gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said "you have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one."You can put a knife i

A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" "Fifty cents," replied the waitress.
