Lending Hand

Be the first one to offer
This old lady that needs a seat
Be the first one to open the door
This old man that hobbling to get through the door
Be the first one to offer food
This little boy on the street that is starving
Be the first one to volunteer
This church that needs people to serve the community
Be the first one to give a smile
This melancholy woman
Be the first to encourage
This student that is desperate to succeed
Be the first to offer joy
This employee that is sad and troubled
Be the first one to speak kind words
This youth that needs lifting of spirit
Be the first one to reconcile
This misunderstandings and troubled siblings
Be the first to visit
This aged fellow that lives in a nursing home
The world needs you to be the first to offer joy, peace and love.

Thought of the day: Be Humble

While we are here on earth, the journey is not easy. Life can be so rough ride and tough a times. But wear a humble heart and keep going with the journey. Successes come into our lives when we attain our goals. We have different concept of our success. It could be graduating from high school and moving into college life. Then obtaining college degree is another milestone of success. Or get promoted to a managerial position or any position you hold in the office that you consider is fulfilling in your career is an accomplishment. This is worth celebrating, but keep in mind that humbling yourself in the midst of success is wonderful. Acknowledging that our success is a blessing from the Lord. We cannot do them without His help. Be boastful in the Lord for He is good. Even in our failures we still be humble. In our relationships with others we still be humble. If we make mistake then apologize. If it is not easy to say it, think of being humble then you have the courage to say, I am sorry. Pride is our downfall so do not even go there. Humility brings joy to you and to others.

Keep in mind be humble in your day to day life.

Thought of the day: Be Yourself

Being yourself is the best thing to think about. You do not have to please NO one except God. It is a great thing to ponder that being ourselves, we can act or speak without following anybody. We do not have to be like the actress or actor we see in the movie star. We can just be ourselves. We can accept ourselves as who we are. And ultimately, we can love ourselves as who we are.  I remembered when I was in high school our Christian Living teacher used to say that “If you love someone, love him/her as who he/she is”. It is not the money that they possess or the physical appearance that you want to love them. It is not a conditional love. But accepting and loving that person as an individual because God created us to be unique. Therefore, we can be ourselves as to what God plans us to be. He has a purpose for us to be on this earth. In our journey on this beautiful planet earth, we should be walking with head high as being ourselves are the best thing to do. Keep wading or trodding as being yourself. Then you do not have to worry on pleasing others.

Keep in mind to be just yourself wherever you will be.
