Friendship

28.9.10



A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell.  

He painted a sign advertising the 4 pups and
set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. 
As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. 
He looked down into the eyes of little boy.  
"Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your
puppies."  
"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat
off the back of his neck, "These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."  
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then
reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer.  
"I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take
a look?"  
"Sure," said the farmer. And with that he let out
a whistle. "Here, Dolly!" he called.  
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran
Dolly followed by four little balls of fur.  
The little boy pressed his face against the chain
link fence. His eyes danced with delight.

As the
dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.  
Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably
smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat  
awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward
the others, doing its best to catch up...  
"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the
runt. The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said,  
"Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able
to run and play with you like these other dogs would." 

With that the little boy stepped back from the fence,
reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his  
trousers.  

In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down
both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made  
shoe.  

Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir,
I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone  
who understands."  

With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and
picked up the little pup.  


Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.  

"How much?" asked the little boy.

"No charge,"
answered the farmer, "There's no charge for love."  
The world is full of people who need someone who
understands.

Why Women Are So Special

21.9.10
Mum and Dad were watching TV when
Mum said, "I'm tired, and it's
getting late. I think I'll go to bed."
She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's
lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the
freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box
levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the
table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.
She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes
into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She
picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on
the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer. She
watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to
dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom.
She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted
out some cash for the excursion and pulled a text book out from
hiding under the chair. She signed a birthday card for a friend,
addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the
grocery store. She put both near her bag.
Mum then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night
Solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth
and filed her nails.
Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed."
"I'm on my way," she said. She put some water into the dog's dish
and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and
the patio light was on.. She looked in on each of the kids and
turned out their bedside lamps and radios, hung up a shirt, threw
some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation
with the one up still doing homework.
In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next
day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her
6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and
visualized the accomplishment of her goals.
About that time, Dad turned off the TV
and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed." And he
did...without another thought.
Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer...? 

'CAUSE THEY ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL......... 

(and they can't die sooner, they still have things to do!!!!)

For those that prefer to think that God is not watching
over us...go ahead and delete this.

A small touching story mainly for professionals...

13.9.10

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his
5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON:   "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD:   "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
SON:   "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD:   "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
SON:    "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD:    "If you must know, I make Rs.100 an hour."
SON:     "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON:   "Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?"
The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs.50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
 "Are you asleep, son?" He asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said the man.
"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.. Here's the Rs.50 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that Rs.100 worth of your time with someone you love.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.
But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.  And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;

Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.

Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;

Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.

This is Forever Friendship.

Cheer up...

3.9.10


Ever have one of those days, when something seems a bit "off" but you just can't put your finger on it...




Or
it seems like all the people around you are grouchy and just want to butt heads...


Or just, get into some kind of weird tug of war?


Sometimes, you just need to take a fresh new look and get a different perspective on things.



Remember,
to try your best to show kindness to others...cuz it just feels so good!



(Sometimes looking at things from their perspective might help.....)

So, when life gets you down...

Remember to just keep going, and keep your head above water...


And you'll get by with a little help from your friends!



God can't love you more than HE already does! Go Ahead Make Someone Smile
(Even if they wonder what you’re up to)
GOD BLESS YOU!
