This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!).
I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, and 3) and have recently completed my college degree.
The last class I had to take was Sociology.
The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.
Her last project of the term was called "Smile."
The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.
I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.
Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning.
It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.
We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.
I did not move an inch, an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.
As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.
As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was "smiling".
His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.
He said, "Good day" as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.
The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.
I held my tears as I stood there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.
He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).
Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.
That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.
I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.
I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.
He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you."
I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope."
I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, "That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope."
We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.
We are not church goers, but we are believers.
That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.
I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.
I turned in "my project" and the instructor read it.
Then she looked up at me and said, "Can I share this?"
I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.
She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my husband, son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.
I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.
Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.
If you think this story has touched you in any way, please send this to everyone you know.
There is an Angel sent to watch over you.
In order for her to work, you must pass this on to the people you want watched over.

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head.
To handle others, use your heart.
God Gives every bird it's food, but He does not throw it into its nest.
Keep this going.

U PROBABALY KNEW ABOUT THIS BUT FOR THOSE WHO DON'T,


Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln’s secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in
a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and
hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker,

A week before Lincoln was shot; he was in Monroe, Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot; he was with Marilyn Monroe.


This is one history lesson people don't mind reading.

This is How Friendships Break: Both Friends will think that they are 2 busy and will not contact thinking it may be disturbing. As time passes both will think "let the other contact". After a while, each will think "why should I contact first". Here your love will gradually be converted to pride. Finally without contact the memory becomes weak. They forget each other. One day they will meet and blame one another. So Keep in touch with all your friends. Pass this to all your friends…I don’t want to be one of those kinds of friends. So here I am saying, Hi! and hope that all is well with you

A plane was about to crash. There were 5 passengers on board but there were only 4 parachutes.

The first passenger says:
"I am Ronaldinho, the best football player in the world. The football world needs me, and I can not die on my fans."
He grabs the first parachute and jumps out of the plane.

The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, says:
“I am the wife of the former president of the United States; I am the senator of New York and I have a good chance of being president of the United States in the future.“
She grabs a parachute and jumps off the plane.

The third passenger, Matthew Olusegun Obasanjo, says:
“I am the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I have huge responsibilities in Africa. Besides, I am the smartest president in the history of my country and can‘t shun the responsibility to my people by dying.
He grabs a pack and jumps off the plane.

The fourth passenger, the Pope, says to the fifth passenger, a young school boy:
"I am old. I have lived my life as a good person as a priest should and so I shall leave the last parachute to you; you have the rest of your life ahead of you."

To this, the little boy says:
“Don‘t fret old man…,
There is a parachute for each of us!
The smartest president of Nigeria took my schoolbag, "

The moral of this story….
Each country gets the president it deserves.

waffistyle:
it is not possible to know al about a person, and sometimes it is dangerous to try to know too much,, by investigating, or asking questions around, what you don't know would not bother you, i also believe in real courtship before marriage, where you both stay in the same town, that way you would know as much you need to know before taking your decision,
don't try to know after you ve taken the decision, let sleeping dogs lie,

Gbam! Human beings are the most unpredictable of all creatures and the heart of "man" is very difficult to find out. Women especially keeps a lot of secrets (pls don't kill me on the secret keeping issue. i don't want gender war, i am just saying wat i know to be true).

ARE WE TALKING ABOUT REALDEATH HERE? WELL, IF SHE LOVES ME, SHE WON'T WANT ME DEAD. THE FACT DAT SHE WANT ME TO DIE FOR HER SHOWS DAT SHE DOESN'T LOVE ME AND KNOWING DAT IS ENOF FOR ME TO STOP LOVING HER.
I CAN'T DIE FOR ANYONE AND I DON'T EXPECT ANYONE TO DIE FOR ME.
LIVE AND LET LIVE!

ENGLISH LANGUAGE IMPROVEMENT

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have
one less letter. There will be growing public enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where! More komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.

THE WISE WORDS.



1. God’s will. Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else.
2. God relates to you the way you relate to Him.
3. Every form of life you live is a seed and there is the law of seed and harvest.
4. Your destiny is within your reach: God will not put it in your mouth nor in your hands. You can have it if only you stretch your faith.
5. Whenever the devil is permitted, he goes too far. If you allow him into your sitting room, he’ll take over the whole house.
6. Excuses are cemetery where destinies are buried.
7. To occupy the present trying to locate the past is a waste of the future.
8. I consider the past a menace, I desire to rescue the present and I object to the enslavement of the future.
9. Yesterday is a cancelled cheque; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you’ve got on hand. Spend it wisely.
10. Success is a matter of hanging on when and after others have let go.
11. Success is failure turned inside out.
12. Success is in the student, not in the university; greatness is in the individual, not in the library.

@whiteroses, do i take dat as an insult or as a compliment?

daprince, my heart goes out 2 u wen readin yor post. U made a very gud point. But d issue is dat u can't blame or stop pple from makin choices. Like u also said dat u will make sure dat u do not make d same mistakes yor parents made, u will agree with me dat it's not a gud thing. Come 2 think of it; not many children from broken homes wil be as 'gud' as u. There has been hundreds of pple from broken homes which others might hav seen 2 enable dem make their decision. God bless u!
