God’s Gift

One day when God felt generous,
He looked down at me and smiled,
“Since I feel so magnanimous,
I’d like to give you something, child.”

He asked me what I wanted,
I said, “Oh, really nothing more,
You’ve done so much already.”
He said, “That’s what God is for.”

“You have been pretty good,” He said,
I know there’s not much that you seek,
I will pick a little something,
Just to make your life complete.”

With great anticipation,
I looked forward to my gift,
I wondered what God had in mind,
That would give me such a lift.

“This gift,” God said, “You realize,
Bears some responsibility,
So, if you accept my present,
You must be willing to agree…

“To offer unconditionally,
A section or a part,
Of more than half of you,
The larger portion of your heart.”

“Okay, God,” I answered,
“Since in You, I always trust,
I’ll meet your obligation,
In the manner that I must.”

To myself, I thought, wow, what a gift,
For so much of me, God’s asked,
Now what could be so valuable,
That my share was more than half?

With both hands I sought my gift,
I still did not have a clue,
Then God put your hand in mine,
And said His gift to me was
YOU!

    ‘DONT WALK IN FRONT OF ME, I MAY NOT FOLLOW. DONT WALK BEHIND ME,
    I MAY NOT LEAD. JUST WALK BESIDE ME AND BE MY FRIEND.’
    QUOTE BY ALBERT CAMUS

    ‘I LOVE YOU’

    sometimes I have to walk in front of you,knowing that you might not follow me.But you will be able to see me and know how I am.And without looking at you I can feel you that how you are.I have to walk behind you,I know that you may be not lead,but I wanted to know how you are doing is everything is fine with you.Your are fine,and how is your life going.But cannot walk beside you,because both of us know why.But you know I want to walk with you and be your friend.

    According to this poem the relationship between Dr. J and A. has God’s approval and
    That’s all that matters unless Dr J has doubts about her. Keep smiling everyone.

    Yes, We ALL do live in a Transient ‘Imaginery’ world and we must not borrow trouble by getting too caught up in this mirage but we have to admit that
    ‘Love is Faith…Faith is Forever’.

    Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived … Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including Love.

    One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so they all repaired their boats and left. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help.

    Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love asked, “Richness, can you take me with you?”

    Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There’s a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”

    Love decided to ask Vanity, who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!”

    “I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered.

    Sadness was close by, so Love asked for help. “Sadness, can I go with you?”

    “Oh, Love! I am so sad, that I really need to be by myself!”

    Then Happiness passed by Love, but she was so happy, that she did not even hear when Love called out to her!

    Suddenly, there was a voice. “Come Love, I will take you!” It was an elder of Love. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed, that he even forgot to ask the elder’s name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way.

    Love, realizing how much he owed the elder, asked Knowledge, “Who helped me?”

    “It was Time,” Knowledge answered.

    “Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”

    Knowledge smiled with deep Wisdom and answered, “Because only with Time and Wisdom, are you capable of understanding how great Love is.”
