Thank you, Lord

Sketch by my Stephannie

In a Science class, the teacher asked her students to give an example of things which are countless.

One student answered: Water
Another 1 answered: Sand
And another one: Air

The teacher noticed that everybody  were participating except for one.
She called his attention and asked the same question.

The student stand up and answered: Blessings....

Have you ever count your blessings?

I bet you can't if you try because since your birth and every day of your life you're blessed by God with so many things. Foods, clothing, shelter, cash in ATM, & love of your family. When you woke up in the morning healthy, you're so blessed than those who suffered from uncurable illnesses and might not survive later.

Don't take for granted the uncounted blessings of life until they are removed from you.

Acknowledge God’s blessings simply by just saying.....

"Thank you, Lord" 

Count Your Blessings

The wise monkeys

Originally, there were 3 wise monkeys I've known, namely Iwazaru, the one covering his mouth, who speaks no evil; Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; and Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil.

Then later I've learn  there is a fourth monkey depicted with the three others. And the 4th one named Shizaru, crossing his arms, symbolizes the principle of "do no evil"

But now the 4th monkey evolved. He may shown having a lap top and "post no evil".

He has no name yet ... so I think I can call him as Keijizaru, what do you think? :)

Just Smile

Smile Away

by: W. D. Nesbit

The world is full of number of things,
I am sure we should all be as happy as kings.

So smile away! folks understand what by a smile is meant,
It's worth a million dollars and it does not cost a cent.

If we sigh about our trouble, it gains double everyday,
If we laugh about our trouble, it's a bubble blown away.

Every gentle word you say,
One dark spirit drives away.

Every deed you do,
One bright spirit brings to you.

Don't forget that sometimes one needs to have smiling faces around.

Remember To Smile

A smile can light a candle
In a lonely heart,
It's like a sunny morning,
That warms a new day's fresh start.

Like a new mother's smile that cradles
Her baby with pure love,
Or a father's smile when he gives his young son,
A new baseball glove.
When we think about the world's sad woes,
The hungry and the poor...
We often do what is expected,
But a smile will open the door.

There's problems with acceptance
Of so many strangers on our shore,
But a warm smile can often lighten,
Someone's day as never before.

Sometimes a smile is like a rainbow,
Shining through a misty cloud,
That cheers an aggravated soul,
In the midst of an unseeing crowd.

Remember to smile today,
Every where you go...
It may not solve all the problems,
But it will soften life's not so gentle blows.

A smile is good medicine,
It can turn dark days into blue:
And when you see the sun come out,
You know God, our heavenly Father,
Is smiling down on you.

That's why I smile often... he, he, he...

Smile

Smile as you greet someone today

You may not know what burdens they bear
Uplift them as you continue on your way
A smile lets them know you do care.

Smile as you answer the telephone
Even though you know not who calls
They may be discouraged and alone
You may cheer as in their ear it falls.

A voice sounds happy when you smile
It may help to brighten someone's day
They will feel much better in awhile
A smile quickly chases a frown away.

Your face won't hurt from the wrinkle
It's only a charming smile line to show
A smile costs not even a small nickle
Keep smiling even though lines will grow.
Remember daily ~ to smile.

Like looking in a mirror, if you give a smile you're likely to get one back!

Try Smiling
By Poet Unknown

When the weather suits you not, Try smiling.
When your coffee isn't hot, Try smiling.
When your neighbors don't do right,
Or your relatives all fight,
Sure 'tis hared, but then you might Try smiling.
Doesn't change the things, of course- Just smiling.
But it cannot make them worse- Just smiling.
And it seems to help your case,
Brightens up a gloomy place,
Then, it sort o' rests your face- Just smiling.

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.

Breath, Be confident and Smile
