TOUCHING STORY

2012-04-17T14:08:00.001-07:00

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.

Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He
had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.

He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the
sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?

VALUE

2012-04-17T13:50:00.001-07:00

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a 1000Rs Note. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this 1000Rs?"

Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give this 1000Rs Note to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the 1000Rs 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 1000Rs.

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!

WAIT FOR THE BRICK

2012-04-17T13:44:00.001-07:00

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and drove the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, "What was that all about and who are you?
Just what the heck are you doing?
That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money.
Why did you do it?"
The young boy was apologetic. "Please mister ... please, I'm sorry... I didn't know what else to do," he pleaded.
"I threw the brick because no one else would stop..."
With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car.
"It's my brother," he said.
"He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay.

"Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger.
Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the little boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!

God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us.

It's our choice: Listen to the whisper ... or wait for the brick!

FAITH!

2012-04-17T13:15:00.001-07:00

Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.

POTENTIAL!

Once a man was selling helium balloons in a fair. He will sale some balloons and as the sale got down he released some balloons in the air so that children playing in the fair will look at the balloons flying in the air and they will come in the direction of the balloons to buy one of them for themselves.

This was his daily business and going on well enough for him to make his living. One day a kid came near to him and asked him a very simple question that, " Uncle, if a black color balloon will fly or not?

The man replied, "of course, in fact its not the color that make a balloon fly but the gas-helium-in side the balloon that make them fly"

Wisdom is... Its not a man's physic or color or education or anything else that make him go for a higher success in life but the potential and/or self-confidence and/or vision -in short the Helium- that make his way up in his life.

FOR GOD'S SAKE!

Once a man was going for a tour for the first time in his life. He took all the things that he thought should be taken along with. He was very amazed by the beauty of the nature he was seeing because in his whole life he never went outside his village.

Then during the tour he had to sit in a bus for going to some place higher on a near by mountain. The bus was occupied with all the passengers and started towards the touring spot. The roads on the mountain were circular and there was valley on the side where this man was sitting.

Everyone was busy looking at the beauty of the mountains but this man was thinking that If this bus is gonna slide in the valley then what will happen! Being afraid he started to pray God to save his life if that happens.

Now, it was evening time and everyone in the bus were being asleep excluding two men... the driver and this hero of our story. Driver didn't sleep because he can't and This man didn't sleep because he couldn't.

Then suddenly the the driver got a blink in his eyes and the bus went into the Valley. Everyone was asleep so they couldn't do anything but our hero jumped off the window of the bus. He was lying in the valley and finally he caught something - a branch of some tree.

He started to pray God very loudly saying, " Oh, God please save my life" and all that. He continued this for a while and as he was a good person God appeared to him and said " OK, I have heard all your prayers and to say your life you just need to do one thing and that is Just leave the Branch you are holding right now!". The man said " If I will do that I am surely going to die, show me some other way!". God replied. " That's the only way, and I know if you trust me you have to do this, I promise you that I will not let you happen anything bad." as the man was not being convinced, the God disappeared.

After some time the man again started yelling, " Oh, God please save my life". The God reappeared and said the same thing and the man again didn't do that. The same thing got repeated two more times.

Finally when the darkness was brightened by the Sun in the morning the man looked under his hanging foots that he was just above the land by two feets. And he started thinking about the incident and was laughing over himself considering himself lucky to survive from such a deadly accident.

Wisdom is... Many times peoples around us tell us to leave a many things in life it may be a habit or it may be a profession or it may be anything and we don't consider it because as this man in the story we are also afraid of a lot of things in life. And so because of this Fear we can't leave many things in life that cause us to Hang on the things those are never important in our life.

Another thing is that if we can have such vision for leaving some things like these We all can lead our life to a great Height!

YOU CAN DO IT!

schedule was fixed, he was given food four times a day and as per the season. He was also being taken for a round in the zoo for the daily exercises. And so, he was growing happily and healthily.

As the days passed by, the months passed by and as the months passed by, the years pass by.

Arnold became huge during these years as his father and mother were. He was having tremendous power and so the hunger.

Now he got huge, the chains are the same but, he can't break them because after years of Experience, He believes that it is impossible for him to break those chains down!

Wisdom is.... People are being chained like Arnold from childhood about the things they can't do. And that remains truth for many people until they Die. Don't be a one like that. Thing that matters is Yes, YOU CAN DO IT! until you are not doing it!!!
