![-]( "franel") franel at 1-10-2012 01:06 PM (11 years ago) (m) Is life really a gift? The bible says that we shall all give account of our lives to God. If i give u a gift i wont ask u how u use it. Life is a trust God entrusted life to us. Life is a currency some spend theirs wisely other waste theirs at the end we will all stand b4 God to render account. Give your life to jesus and live a worthy life on earth and enjoy eternity with God in heaven.Happy independence day
God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.
Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back in reciprocating to the good gesture of the Almighty God.

![-]( "franel") franel at 1-10-2012 01:41 PM (11 years ago) (m) Mr. Kenwisdom, thanks. Though you've posted it on one of my post before, it's still a nice one.
The songs lyrics is what we need to ponder on:"Guns & Roses"
I don't know why
I keep believing
That one day, they'll bring us together
When they've shown
In more ways than one
That all they care about is the dollar
You belong to the one political party
I belong to the one musical party
Our differences are worlds apart
Just like guns and roses
If we don't take control
Of the situation
We'll stay forever in this ya commotion
[Chorus: x3]
These guns and the roses
That we've got to live with
How can five years of power
Destroy a lifetime of
Togetherness
One time we were judged
By the colour of our skins
Now we are judged
By the colour of our flags
Let us unite
Against being divided
You belong to the one political party
I belong to the one musical party
Let us take control of the situation
Otherwise we'll be trapped in this

She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, “now that you can see the world, will you marry me?”
The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying:
“Just take care of my eyes dear.”
****************
This is how human brain changes when the status changed. Only few remember what life was before, and who’s always been there even in the most painful situations.
Life Is A Gift
Today before you think of saying an unkind word–
think of someone who can’t speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food–
think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife–
think of someone who is crying out to God for a companion.
Today before you complain about life–
think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children–
think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or sweep–
think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive–
think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job–
think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another–
remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down–
put a smile on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around.
Life is a gift – Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, and Fulfill it.
Let's talk .........

![-]( "franel") franel at 1-10-2012 04:41 PM (11 years ago) (m) a fool @ 52 is a fool 4ever....  what is there to celebrate ??nonsense!!  Everybody have his or her own point of view.
Celebration doesn’t necessarily mean victory in all aspect of life. But that doesn't mean that we should blow our trumpet so high when we've done little or nothing.
No matter how small, how minute, how miniscule a victory may seem, let us celebrate it.
It’s the small things that keep us going.
It’s those little goals we set for ourselves that keep us reaching for the larger goal.

![-]( "franel") franel at 1-10-2012 05:00 PM (11 years ago) (m) Celebrating small victories – like finding an awesome parking spot or having a brilliant hair day – can be just as important as heralding big achievements.
Celebrating small victories doesn’t mean coddling your motivating spirit, but rather fueling it with the positive reinforcement it needs to keep going. You must become your #1 fan, and be a cheerleader for making right decisions in your life.
Small Victories to Celebrate:1. You woke up alive! High five!
2. You find a primo parking space.
3. You make someone laugh.
4. You have a good hair day!
5. You get a random compliment from a stranger.
6. You’re first in line!
7. You catch all the green lights.
8. You un-jam the printer.
9. You make a healthy meal choice.
10. You drink water instead of __________.
11. You turn on the radio to find a song you love playing. Sing it!
12. You grab the last item on the shelf!
13. You find the weird produce you are looking for at the farmers market. Score!
14. You give a random compliment to a stranger.
15. You find something you thought was lost! Right on!
16. You receive a rebate check that you forgot all about.
17. You try a new food.
18. You arrive just in time for sunset.
19. You do someone a favor. How nice.
20. You solve a crisis at work before it starts.
21. Your child says, “I love you.”
22. Your grocery bill is less than you thought it would be.
23. You go to the post office – and there isn’t a wait at all!
24. You get a discount that you didn’t even know about.
25. You find the gorgeous shoes in the style you need in just one size – yours!
26. You finally fix that broken __________.
27. You take a tiny step towards a larger goal.
28. You are able to find the all-natural, organic version! Eat up!
29. You did the laundry! Clean clothes are so nice!
30. The waitress gets your special order exactly right the first time.
31. You buy yourself flowers. You deserve them!
32. You meditate for five minutes. Start small to grow!
33. You get a smile from a dog. Good juju!
34. You visit a friend in need.
35. You pick up a piece of garbage on the ground and put it in the bin. Thanks!
36. You keep it together for another day without screaming at anyone. Bravo!
37. You finish reading an article! You’re so inquisitive!
