EXPRESS YOURSELF

There was once a guy who suffered from cancer... a cancer that can't be treated. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. All his life, he was stuck in his house being taken cared by his mother. He never went outside but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once.

So he asked his mother and she gave him permission. He walked down his block and found a lot of stores.

He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second as he walked. He stopped and went back to look into the store. He saw a young girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.

She looked up and asked "Can I help you?" She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen before and wanted to kiss her right there

He said "Uh... Yeah... Umm... I would like to buy a CD." He picked one out and gave her money for it.

"Would you like me to wrap it for you?" she asked, smiling her cute smile again.

He nodded and she went to the back.

She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. He took it and walked out of the store. He went home and from then on, he went to that store everyday and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out and he really wanted to but he couldn't. His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her.

So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store. He bought a CD like he did everyday and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn't looking, he left his phone number on the desk and ran out...

!!!RRRRRING! !!

The mother picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"

It was the girl!!! She asked for the boy and the mother started to cry and said, "You don't know? He passed away yesterday... "

The line was quiet except for the cries of the boy's mother.

Later in the day. the mother went into the boy's room because she wanted to remember him. She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet. She was face to face with piles and piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all those CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one.

Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of paper. The mother picked it up and started to read it.
It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jacelyn

The mother opened another CD...

Again there was a piece of paper.

It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jacelyn
Love is... when you've had a huge fight but then decide to put aside your egos, hold hands and say, "I Love You . . . "

Moral: If you Really Love Someone please Expressed your feeling and let them know how much you Love them,That person might also love you in the same way as you love them Before it is too late........
My Advice is to all those who are in love to express your love to the person you love before it is too late.......

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his
way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. 

He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.

However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.
Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. 

She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large
glass of milk He drank it slowly, and then asked,  "How much do I owe you?"
"You don't owe me anything," she replied "Mother has taught us never to
accept payment for a kindness."
He said...  "Then I thank you from my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt; stronger physically,
but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors
were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare
disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. 

When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled
his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her
room. Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. 

He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation
room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave
special attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the
business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.

He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent
to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for
it all. Finally, she looked, and something caught her attention on the side as she read these
words......
"Paid in full with one glass of milk."  (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You,
GOD, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."

NOW YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES.

“What is time?”

One day a wise man was asked a question: “What is time?”
His answer was:
– Yesterday, today, tomorrow…
The one who asked the question was disappointed:
– That’s it?
– Well, – the wise man said, – then listen to this story.

There was Today which wanted to become Always…  Yesterday said:
– I also wanted to become Always when I was you…
– Did you ask Always how it does that? – inquired Today.
– I asked.
– And?
– By changing, – was its answer, – by becoming Tomorrow from Today.
– But that means, – Today thought, – that Always does not belong to itself. It is always someone else! It means that something is making it do that. But what is it?
Yesterday said:
– Maybe it’s Time?
– What is time? – Today asked. – It’s only you and me, and also Tomorrow…

The one who was asking the wise man said nothing more, because another person, who was silent before, joined their conversation:
– But wise man, it means that time is the thing what passes. And that is wrong. It can also last by stopping.
The wise man looked at him with curiosity and answered with a smile:
– You are right. Sometimes today can last hundreds and thousands of years… before it passes. Sometimes it feels like yesterday has come back and we are living in it. There is a little bit of tomorrow in yesterday and in today, but we rarely recognise it. It turns out that there is only this trinity

YOUR HEART DESIRE - CHAPTER 2

                                    CHAPTER TWO.



Hani and Zimo, both daughters of Emaja were by far the most beautiful girls in the Kingdom. Though Zimo was younger, she was much taller than her sister and more beautiful. She had a birthmark finely placed on her left cheek which made people think she was a special child. Her ebony skin shone on the day and sparkled at night. She had such elegance and aura it made her mates jealous and the men of the village lust for her. She had two calabash shaped breast firmly placed on her chest, she swayed her waist with such tenacity and ease that people swore she walked like a snake. Her set of teeths were as white as snow. and when she smiled, it melted the heardened heart of men.
Hani, the elder sister, much older and a little bit less beautiful than her younger sister had a scar on her left cheek too. It made people think she and her sister were a twin. Though not much characteristics as her sister, she had the heart of a man and the meekness of a mule. She was beautiful to behold. Any man would want to marry her.
But Hani and Zimo both had a fault. They were wayward! This is mysterious because their father was not known to be wayward. "They weren't always like this. Oh qods of our fathers, what have i done to deserve this ill-treatment from you?" lamented Alimi. "Have i not fulfilled my part as a father to them?. Have i not shown them the right part?. . Have i not provided for them what they wished for". Our ancestors, answer me. Have i not being a good father to my children?". Alimi was becoming frail and weaker by each passing day. Frustration and helplessness clearly written on his forehead. He took his walking stick and his bag along with him as he set out to go to his farm.
He was just a few yards to the farm when suddenly, admist tears from a far off direction, he could hear his name being called. His friend, Mazi Chidi was running as long as his old and tiny legs could carry him towards Alimi. As he got closer, he slowed down his pace and started gasping for breath. 'Mazi Chidi, i have not seen you run like this since we became friends. What is the problem?'. 'A toad does not run in the daylight for nothing. Tell me my friend, what is chasing you so early in the morning?' Inquired Alimi. "Alimi, there is fire in your house and you are here?'. "I am just coming from your house now, and what i saw... My brother, my eyes have seen my ears". Said Mazi Chidi. "Aalu! May the gods forbid! How can my house be on fire?". Inquired Alimi. "Alimi, what i mean to tell you is that your third daughter Mma is raving mad". Mazi Chidi blurrted out. "Chinekemeh! What! what are you telling me Mazi? Velemo's daughter is running mad? What am i doing here?. Oh No! Not her daughter! Please gods of our land, let this not be true". Said Alimi as he dropped his walking stick and bag and began running home.

YOUR HEART DESIRE - CHAPTER 1

                                  CHAPTER ONE



In a not too populated town in the outskirts of Imodi Kingdom call Ijele, there once lived a man. Alimi was his name. Alimi had three wives. All from the same village and co-incidentally from the same clan. Emaja was the first wife and she had two daughters for Alimi. Muni was the second wife and she had his first and only son, Alao. Velemo was his last wife and she had just a daughter for him.
Alimi was well known in his village for he was the only educated farmer in the whole dynasty of the great Imodi Kingdom. He was oppourtuned to be a learned man after he was forcefully taken from his birth place when he was just six years old. After staying abroad for 30 years and living as a slave under his Colonial master, he finally regained his freedom and returned home.
Using the skills he learnt abroad, he became very rich in no time and made a name for himself. As rich and influencial as he was, he was a kind man. Full of life and open minded. He was one of the front runner of development in his hometown, Imodi. He was loved and adored by his mates. Those who seeked success came to him for advice before venturing into any bussiness. He was truly a blesssed and accomplished man.
But Alimi had a problem. One problem that is so persistent and consistent it was slowly and painfully sucking his essence out of him. His eldest daughters Hani and Zimo for that was their name where living an immoral life. A life contrary to the one he had imagined and eventually laid down for them to follow. The more disturbing issue was that his first wife was supporting their way-wardness. He knew he had to do something, and fast too. So Alimi then thought of a plan and how best to show them the true path.

Everyone Has a Story in Life

A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted…

“Dad, look the trees are going behind!”

Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed…

“Dad, look the clouds are running with us!”

The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man…

“Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?”The old man smiled and said…“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today.

Every single person on the planet has a story. Don’t judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you.

ONE MAN WANTED TO BECOME POWERFUL...

One man wanted to become powerful. When he heard that there was a sage who lived high in the mountains and could work the miracles, he went to him. This man prepared food for a sage, wrapped up his feet and did everything, what is necessary in such cases. The old man was very kind and friendly, but being asked about the miracles, he always repeated one thing:

—I am a simple man and don‘t know any miracles.

But the dodger thought so: “This is a sure sage sign. Only the one who knows can say such things. And the one who declares himself as a knower, do not know anything”. Time has passed. A man did not leave. Day and night he was serving a sage, hoping to extract his secret. One night the young man started to massage the old man‘s feet, asking him about miracles. Soon the old man wanted to sleep and said:

— It‘s enough. Stop it!

But the dodger said him:

— I will not stop until you open me the secret of working the miracles!

— Well, — a sage said, — let it be in your way! I will give you a very powerful spell. You have to tell it nine times after you made a wish. This is very powerful spell! So, every your wish will come true.

When the young man received what he had dreamt about, he was very happy and started to gather his things. A sage told him:

-But do not hurry, there is one condition.

-What kind of condition? – the young man asked.

-To make your wish come true, you have to concentrate on it in the full silence. And, most importantly, you do not have to think about the yellow monkey!

– Oh, that’s not a problem! – the young man said. – I’ve never thought about any monkey.

And he left. On the way home he started to see some faces. But he was in a hurry and did not pay much attention to it. He wanted to sit in the silence and make a wish as soon as possible.

When he reached the home, it seemed to him that the monkeys looked at him from all windows. “What a delusion?” – he thought. But that was only the beginning! As soon as he sat down, made a wish, and told a spell, the most interesting thing has begun! The monkeys surrounded him. They screamed, built the smiley faces, pulled his clothes. It was unbearable!

When the morning came, he didn’t dream about any miracles. He just wanted to sleep. But vainly! The monkeys persecuted him everywhere.

The next evening the young man visited a sage. A sage was waiting for him.

-What happened? Did the monkeys disturb you? – a sage asked, smiling.

-It‘s not time to laugh. Is it funny? – the young man asked. – Did the monkeys bother me? You are an old man and you are not ashamed to make such jokes? I have accepted you as my teacher, and what you did? I almost went crazy! Take your spell back and free my mind. Instead of teaching me the miracles, you have developed the monkey mind in me.

A sage, gently smiling, said:

– It‘s your fault. I warned you that I do not know any miracles. Moreover, I wanted to show you how undeveloped and enslaved is your mind. And, first of all, you have to develop it.

Conquer Your Negative Thoughts

There's no reason we could let ourselves unworthy. God's always watching how we generate little blessings to the best and proper ways.

There once a story of my life. I'm such a person born with a negative mind. How I wish I could live same with others happy lifestyle. When I was a little I'd never felt the true happiness of life. I don't even know how to value myself. I'd always mind the feelings of others even in exchange of my own free will. Definitely, I grew up having feelings of being lonely, shameful, sensitive and unsociable. I always put down myself on behalf of a group mistakes. I keep on regretting for my worthless behavior but how can I overcome since this was my true personality? I don't have confidence at all. I have a dream but I think I'm not worthy enough to achieve it.

We're facing the most difficult pace of life. Far from everything, always work day by day. Even under the rays of sunshine or even drops of rain. We're living a poor life. I'm 6 years old that time when I learn how things could be done. How money could be earned in exchange of your true services. I've always thought that life is unfair. Only few were selected to experience the happiness of living.

Our school is far enough, but we always imagine that it was near and safe to lessen the feeling of tiredness. Sometimes I thought it could be better to be out of school since all these things will no longer working out. Were only wasting our money and effort but my mother is such a great person. It seems like she's the one who ready to handle all burdens of life for us. Even at my negativity of thoughts, I always mind and respect the feelings of my mother. She didn't finish her school but she's a professional teacher for me. She's ready to sacrifice all her effort. She always thought that the only thing they could bequeath for us is to build a greater knowledge. This statement helps me think and realize the true meaning of love.

I gain a little confident. Ready to face all the challenge, my mother thought me so. Even at my greatest burden, I always try to motivate myself. If I cause some mistakes, I always keep on smiling. When I felt down, I try my best to stand up. When I felt shame, I thought myself to be lucky enough. Satisfactions teach me to make my days complete, teach me the feeling of real happiness. This life maybe is not about ENJOYING, but the main purpose is all about LEARNING.

Whatever may come, whatever it takes. Always look up to the positive ways!

Why Forgive?

Why Forgive?
Often times we have heard people being told or probably we have been told the same thing ourselves; " you have to learn to forgive and forget" ,  but is it that easy?  Even if you forgive, do you ever forget?  Now, I am no patron of confusion I rather hope to enlighten you_ as always ☺.  Chances are that you already had this thought at some point in your life.

Below is the danger of not forgiving and even worse not forgetting. When God forgives our sins, he forgets them_forever and I mean For Ever.

(Isaiah 43:25)
I think that it is in the wisdom of God and in the perfect understanding that is his, that he urges us to be like him,  forgiving and loving. Spiritually, identification brings about an awakening however mild or crystal. When we remember and spell out the past offenses of others, we awaken the hurt and pain,  we open up wounds and renew the scars that have long been inflicted. We hurt them by bringing to life the guilt and evil they might have tried to let go of.

The same applies for self. When a man reminds himself in whatever way, either by thought or word of his sinful past, he gives strength to the power to sin. At that moment it feels like nothing has happened but unfortunately a lot has happened.

Thus dear friends, I consider it worthy to mention that it would be prudent, that one holds firm to the word; "In all things we a more than conquerors through him that loved us" _Romans 8:37, and never call to mind what has been forgiven you by God, do not hold yourself captive.  Remember for whosoever the son of Man sets free, he is free indeed.
