Law of Garbage Truck

One day, I hopped into a taxi and took off for the airport . We were driving in the right lane when suddenly, a black car, jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed the brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I mean, was really friendly. So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!" This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck' He explained, "Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. NEVER take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on with the routine life." Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so...... 'Love the people who treat you right.. Pray for the ones who don't. 'A very rightly said quote: Life is 10% what you make and 90% how you take!!!!

BACK BACK BACK... BACK TO MY BEST !!!!!!!

for nearly a month, i was struggling… i thought it was because i was missing dad… till yesterday night i believed that way…or i was forcing myself to believe that way… but yesterday night, i started asking god why i am so much burdened… why He is not doing anything to make me feel better… i haven’t cried for the past 1 ½ years… even when dad passed away, i didn’t…yesterday, i wanted to cry badly… but not even a single tear drop came down from my eyes… may be coz the last time i cried, i cried so badly that it dried up the tears… and since it dried up, i couldn’t cry yesterday…i asked god, why he is being so cruel to me… first there was no answer… but i kept pestering Him… till He started to talk… He told me that it was not because i couldn’t cry, i feel burdened, neither because of dad… its also not because of things at home too… but its because of something that i was holding on to, deep in my heart… for few months already… God was very specific…He asked me to let go of it… i said, “God, its hard”… He told me that His grace is sufficient for me… it was a kind of wrestling in my heart then for the next few minutes… felt a pain deep in my heart… but i decided and told God that i am letting it go coz i don’t want to be a hindrance to God’s blessing in my life…when i said that prayer loud, i don’t know from where, but my heart begin to calm down… i could feel the peace in my heart… after that i could sleep well too… peaceful sleep, which i didn’t have for at least a month… God is awesome…

till yesterday, i was more worried about going back home… no excitement… no thrill… was tensed about things waiting for me there… but today whole thing changed… i am excited… thrilled… i am looking forward to hopping on to the flight… I can’t wait to be back there… like the usual cheerful person whom my mom has always seen… i can feel that i am back to my best… the same optimistic man who could take on anything that’s coming against him… i am back… no more complaining!!! i can see now why eve said, i have changed a lot… i thought that changes was coz, dad was no longer there to guide me… but yesterday god reminded me that the guidance i got till now was never from dad, it was from heaven… which is very true… and it will be the same from now on too… i won’t depend on any man for guidance… coz my guidance comes from the Almighty… i am excited… am excited for the greater heights that’s waiting for me…

and even as i write this, i can feel the peace within me… YES!!! i am ready to take on any adventure that’s coming my way…coz according to K.Yudah, TOUGH TIMES NEED TOUGH MEN, TOUGH TIMES WILL PASS BUT TOUGH MEN WILL STAY…and i know that if i am going through a test, it means i am being prepared for a testimony… i thought i will fail this time…but god reminded me that there will always be one winner when it comes to my struggle with stress… that’s ME… not because of who i am, but because the grace that surrounds me is toooooo big for me to fail…

keep smiling guys… make someone laugh too… God Bless

Wet Pants

Come with me to a third grade classroom..... There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. It's never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.

The boy believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his head down and prays this prayer, 'Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat.'

He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.

As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips in front of the teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the boy's lap.

The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself, 'Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!' Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out. All the other children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his has been transferred to someone else - Susie.

She tries to help, but they tell her to get out. You've done enough, you klutz!'

Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, 'You did that on purpose, didn't you?' Susie whispers back, 'I wet my pants once too.'

May God help us see the opportunities that are always around us to do good... Remember.....Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.

Each and everyone one of us is going through tough times right now, but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can. Keep the faith.

Daddy's Poem

Her hair was up in a pony tail, her favourite dress tied with a bow. Today was Daddy's Day at school, and she couldn't wait to go.

But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, if she went to school alone.

But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today.

But still her mother worried, for her to face this day alone. And that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home.

But the little girl went to school eager to tell them all. About a dad she never sees a dad who never calls.

There were daddies along the wall in back, for everyone to meet. Children squirming impatiently, anxious in their seats

One by one the teacher called a student from the class. To introduce their daddy, as seconds slowly passed.

At last the teacher called her name, every child turned to stare. Each of them was searching, a man who wasn't there.

'Where's her daddy at?' She heard a boy call out. 'She probably doesn't have one,' another student dared to shout.

And from somewhere near the back, she heard a daddy say, 'Looks like another deadbeat dad, too busy to waste his day.

'The words did not offend her, as she smiled up at her Mom. And looked back at her teacher, who told her to go on.

And with hands behind her back, slowly she began to speak. And out from the mouth of a child, came words incredibly unique.

'My Daddy couldn't be here, because he lives so far away. But I know he wishes he could be, since this is such a special day.

And though you cannot meet him, I wanted you to know. All about my daddy, and how much he loves me so.

He loved to tell me storie she taught me to ride my bike. He surprised me with pink roses, and taught me to fly a kite.

We used to share fudge sundaes, and ice cream in a cone. And though you cannot see him. I'm not standing here alone.

'Cause my daddy's al ways with me, even though we are apart I know because he told me, he'll forever be in my heart

With that, her little hand reached up, and lay across her chest. Feeling her own heartbeat, beneath her favourite dress.

And from somewhere here in the crowd of dads, her mother stood in tears. Proudly watching her daughter, who was wise beyond her years.

For she stood up for the love of a man not in her life. Doing what was best for her, doing what was right.

And when she dropped her hand back down, staring straight into the crowd. She finished with a voice so soft, but its message clear and loud.

'I love my daddy very much, he's my shining star. And if he could, he'd be here, but heaven's just too far.

You see he is a Canadian soldier And died just this past year When a roadside bomb hit his convoy and taught Canadians to fear.

But sometimes when I close my eyes, it's like he never went away.' And then she closed her eyes, and saw him there that day.

And to her mothers amazement, she witnessed with surprise. A room full of daddies and children, all starting to close their eyes.

Who knows what they saw before them, who knows what they felt inside. Perhaps for merely a second, they saw him at her side.

'I know you're with me Daddy,' to the silence she called out. And what happened next made believers, of those once filled with doubt.

Not one in that room could explain it, for each of their eyes had been closed. But there on the desk beside her, was a fragrant long-stemmed rose.

And a child was blessed, if only for a moment, by the love of her shining star. And given the gift of believing, that heaven is never too far.
