God's Calculation

Once two persons were sitting near a temple and chit chatting. It was getting dark and cloudy. By then another person came there and asked if he can join them. They said 'oh with pleasure'.

They were talking as friends. Then it started to rain. They were stuck. The third guy felt hungry and told the other two. Oh, we too are hungry they said.

He has 3 rotis (Breads) and I have 5 rotis (Breads) - Let all of us share -  said the second guy. Then a question arose as to how to share 8 rotis among three of them.

The first person suggested that let's make three pieces out of each roti. Then 3x8 we will have 24 pieces. Then we three can have 8 pieces each.

Everyone liked the idea. They made 24 pieces and ate 8 pieces each and satisfied their hunger and all slept off.

In the morning the third person thanked the two persons for allowing him to spend time with them and felt grateful to them for sharing rotis and being helpful. Out of happiness he gave 8 gold coins to them and left his way.

After he left first person said ok, let's share 4 coins  each and let's go. The second person said since I shared 5 rotis I should get 5 gold coins and you gave 3 rotis you should get only  3 gold coins. Slowly the arguments grew and ended up in big fight. They went to the Village Head for justice. The Head said leave the coins with me and I will think over and give judgement next day.

In the night God appears in the dream of the Village head and asks him what justice he is going to deliver in the morning. Village head said the second person's stand of 5:3 appears logical to him. 

To that God laughed and said you did not carefully  analyse their narration. God said as per My justice first person must get one gold coin only  and second person must get 7 gold coins!!  Village head was surprised.

God explained first person no doubt made nine pieces out of his three rotis but  ate off 8 pieces himself and shared one piece only. Second person made 15 pieces and gave away 7 pieces for sharing. Hence 1:7 sharing is My calculation and My Justice. Next day Village Head accordingly delivered the Justice and explained the rationale.

From the above story we need to understand the way we look at things and God looks at things is totally different. From what we have and from out of it  how much we are willing to share with others is what God looks at.

Celebration of Mistake

On a busy Monday morning this guy is rushing off to work.

In the elevator he realizes his bag isn't as heavy as it usually is.

Checks to find out that his lunch box isn't there. While walking up to his parked car, he replays the morning rush hours and realizes that his wife had simply forgotten to prepare his lunch that day.

In their 18-years of blissful married life, he couldn't recall a single day in the past when she had not attended to the tiniest of his needs.

He cuts off dialing her number and chuckles to himself as he drives out of the apartment block.

At lunchtime that day his wife receives a call. It's her husband.

W: "Hi darling! hows work"

H: "Work's cool but I'm hungry :)"

W: "Didn't you eat lunch yet?"

H: "Nope"

W: "Why"

H: ''Cause it wasn't there."

Silence. The nickle drops

W: "OMG! how could I forget? I didn't even make it! that's never happened! I totally forgot! What are you going to do?"

H: "Not me! you're going to do something! You're going to change and come down!

 I'm waiting downstairs for you! We're going to lunch together!"

She squeals in delight (the sound of which is music to his ears)  and joins him down. They drive off to a wonderful, memorable lunch.

Now you too know the secret behind their happy marriage!

All that the two of them have striven to do in their many years of marriage is
to turn an oversight,
a mistake, from either one into
a moment of celebration,
a moment of joy,
a moment to cherish.

Whatever your partner does for you is not his or her duty,
it's his or her love for you.

 Accept it with grace and return it with interest :)

If ever the partner forgets, you do the needful,
you should put in the love and add to it some kisses too!

Really, it's that simple.

Grocery List

Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store.
She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries.

She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food.

John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store at once.

Visualizing the family needs, she said: 'Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as soon as I can.'

John told her he could not give her credit, since she did not have a charge account at his store.
Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the two The customer walked forward and told the grocer that he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family. The grocer said in a very reluctant voice, 'Do you have a grocery list?'

Louise replied, 'Yes sir.' 'O.K' he said, 'put your grocery list on the scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries.'

Louise hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then she reached into her purse and took out a piece of paper and scribbled something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully with her head still bowed.

The eyes of the grocer and the customer showed amazement when the scales went down and stayed down..

The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly to the customer and said begrudgingly, 'I can't believe it.'

The customer smiled and the grocer started putting the groceries on the other side of the scales. The scale did not balance so he continued to put more and more groceries on them until the scales would hold no more.

The grocer stood there in utter disgust. Finally, he grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement.

It was not a grocery list, it was a prayer, which said:

'Dear Lord, you know my needs and I am leaving this in your hands.'

The grocer gave her the groceries that he had gathered and stood in stunned silence.

Louise thanked him and left the store. The other customer handed a hundred-dollar bill to the grocer and said; 'It was worth every penny of it. Only God Knows how much a prayer weighs.'

THE POWER: When you receive this, say a prayer. That's all you have to do.

Just stop right now, and say a prayer of thanks for your own good fortune...

I believe if you will send this testimony out with prayer in faith, you will receive what you need God to do in your and your families' life..

So dear heart, trust God to heal the sick, provide food for the hungry, clothes and shelter for those that don't have as we do. Amen & Amen

Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.

There is no cost but a lot of rewards.
May you always walk with Angels
God Bless!

My prayer for you today:

Your eyes  shall not behold evil, your hands shall not labor in vain,mouth with prayer shall laugh forever. Remain in God's love forever. Have a lovely journey of life! Trust in the Lord with all your heart and He will never fail you because He is Awesome!


Always be thankful for what you have...
Have a great Day.
