last minute change

George dreamed of joining the Navy but his mother who was a widow raising her children alone did not like the idea. Nevertheless she put on a bold face and agreed to let him go.The day he was due to sail he hugged his mother goodbye.In an uncharacteristic show of emotion she started to cry because after enduring so much heartbreak she couldnt endure any more.George must not board that ship he must stay and be strong for the rest of the family.The boy in the uniform wanted a naval career but not if it meant adding to the grief of his mother.He reluctantly returned his uniform and ordered his belongings ashore.Of all the young men leaving home for adventure and did not he was just one more.Yet his decision had profound influence on the revolutionary war.The eleventh hour anxiety of a mother prevented her son from joining the British Navy and embarking on an adventure different from the one he eventually became famous.That is because the name of that 15 year old is George Washington, the first president of the USA.

Do not be annoyed with changes in your carefully prepared plans remember that God might have a better plan in mind for you.

DONT STOP

It is said that halfway up the Swiss alps there is a popular rest house. It is a good day's climb from the bottom to the top but you can reach the resthouse by lunch time and this where you separate the men from the boys.

When some amateur climbers feel the warmth of the fire and smell the good cooking they will say totheir companions, 'i wiil just wait here while you go to the top when you come back down i will join you and we will go to the base together'. A glaze of satisfaction comes over them and they sit by the fire , play the piano and sing mountain climbing songs. But at evening everything changes and they start looking towards the mountain top as teir friends reach it.. Suddenly the atmosphere in the rest house changes and they moan that if only i had kept climbing.

Trusting in God wont make the mountain smaller or the climb easier but the strength would be provided. Remember that mountains are meant to be surmounted. Keep climbing.

ENCUMBERANCES

Regardless of the height,the depth or the strength of your obstacle see them not as they are but as you wish them to be.
Because in life roads are not smooth and arithmetic laws are foiled the only rule is that hard knocks exist but you either choose if you want to be knocked up or knocked down.
Remember two rats fell into a bucket of cream one of them gave up and died immediately while the other kept on struggling till he chuurned the cream into butter and he climbed out alive and well fed. The choice is yours.

LIFE

Life is a chess game. The smarter opponent wins, the bad news is that you are timed and time flies but the good news is that you are the pilot.

You can make history

Sunrise in 2009

We laughed and we cried.We smiled and we frowned.We made friends and we lost some. An a here and a c there. Some found love and some of us lost it, we let it happen but 2009 is a blank cheque for you.

No matter how hard anything is just believe and you would acheive anything you want to in life because remember that though weeping and tears may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning.

A colony of trees

The wizard of menlo park also known as Thomas edison had a terrible nightmare when his precious lab on menlo park was gutted by fire due to one of his spilled chemicals. His wife and children came out crying but weird Edison called photographers and told them to have snapshots of his lab in flames. Bewildered journalists asked him what was the rationale behind the funny behaviour of his but Edison retorted that "you would never see any fire like this again in your life". The next day he started building a new better laboratory in the hot ashes of burnt down laboratory.
THAT IS CALLED DOGGED DETERMINATION. ARE YOU DETERMINED?
