“The Wise Woman’s Stone”

Posted in Story on 06/13/2008 08:58 am by rao aelbeena

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.

“I’ve been thinking,” he said, “I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone.“

 

Blessings to you

If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won’t survive the week.


If you have never experienced
the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture or
the pangs of starvation,
you are ahead of 20 million people
around the world.


If you attend a church meeting
without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost
three billion people in the world.


If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back, a roof over
your head and a place to sleep,
you are richer than 75% of this world.


If you have money in the bank,
in your wallet, and spare change
in a dish someplace, you are among
the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.


 


 


If you hold up your head with a smile
on your face and are truly thankful,
you are blessed because the majority can,
but most do not.


If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them
or even touch them on the shoulder,
you are blessed because you can
offer God’s healing touch.


 


If you can read this message,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world
that cannot read anything at all.


 


You are so blessed in ways
you may never even know.


BLESSINGS TO YOU

Your characteristics if you are:
.
Dog:
A very loyal and sweet person. Your loyalty can never be doubted. You
are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude towards
working. You are a very simple person, indeed. Absolutely hassle free,
humble and down-to-earth!! That explains the reason why your friends
cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is
not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and
easy-going. You have a little group of dignified friends, all of them
being quality-personified.
.
..
Mouse:
Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes
is what makes you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an
extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder, people seek for your
company and look forward to include you for all get-togethers. However,
you are sensitive, which is a drawback. People need to select their
words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and play
with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath.
God bless the person then!
.
..
…
Lion:
Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person. You
best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight. An
outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long duration.
You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfully derive work
from people. You love being loved, and when you receive your share of
limelight from someone, you are all theirs! Well, well… hence some
people could even take an advantage, flatter you to the maximum and get
their work done. So be careful.
.
..
…
….
Cat:
An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes shy, with a passion for
quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love exploring various
things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal circumstances
you’re cool, when given a reason to, you are like a volcano waiting to
erupt. You’re a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an icon
associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don’t
like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company.
You observe care in choosing your friends.
.
..
…
….
…..
Turtle:
You are near to perfect and nice at heart. The examples of your kindness
are always circulated in groups of people.You, too, love peace. You
wouldn’t like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are
loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one’s back. People
love the way you always treat them. You can give, give and give love,
and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are
generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the
best trait of you guys.
.
..
…
….
…..
……
Dove:
You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the
surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact,
you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of
friends and good at consoling people in their times of need. You dislike
hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in
your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized
in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware,
it is easy for you to fall in love.
.
..
…
….
…..
……
…….
Panther:
You are mysterious. You are someone who can handle pressure with ease,
and can handle any atmosphere without going berserk. You can be mean at
times, and love to gossip with your selected group. Very prim and
proper. You like all situations and things to be in the way you desire,
which sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may lose out in some
relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult
and tight spots when they really need you.
.
..
…
….
…..
……
…….
……… ..
Monkey:
Very impatient and hyper! You want things to be done as quick as
possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the center
of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep
yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged or
featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky.
Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you
foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling
in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are.

 

Mothers day

Mothers day


A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.
As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing.
He asked her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother.
But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.”
The man smiled and said, “Come on in with me. I’ll buy you a rose.”
He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers.
As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home.
She said, “Yes, please! You can take me to my mother.”
She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother’s house.

Mountain Story


“A son and his father were walking on the mountains.
Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: “AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: “AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
Curious, he yells: “Who are you?”
He receives the answer: “Who are you?”
And then he screams to the mountain: “I admire you!”
The voice answers: “I admire you!”
Angered at the response, he screams: “Coward!”
He receives the answer: “Coward!”
He looks to his father and asks: “What’s going on?”
The father smiles and says: “My son, pay attention.”
Again the man screams: “You are a champion!”
The voice answers: “You are a champion!”
The boy is surprised, but does not understand.
Then the father explains: “People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.
It gives you back everything you say or do.
Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.
If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.
If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life;
Life will give you back everything you have given to it.”


YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT’S A REFLECTION OF YOU!”
