 TO THE women WHO IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY...

To the women who has lost their spark.

To the people whose get up and go, has well and truly gone.

This is for you.

This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day.

You didn’t sign up for that.

Remember when you used to laugh? Sing?

Throw caution to the wind?

Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect.

You can get that back again.

You really can.

And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.

It just means being kinder to you, feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.

Being brave enough to stop sometimes.

And rest.

It starts the moment you realise that you’re not quite who you used to be.

Some of that is good, some of that is not.

There are parts of you that need to be brought back.

And if anyone in your life is not okay with that… they are not your people. Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.

So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend, this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joy and no to things that don’t.

It’s really pretty simple.

Donna Ashwoth words.

Bridge is out

 🌉🚘🌉🚘🌉

A preacher was driving home one night with his wife and two daughters in the car. It was dark, raining and intensely so and the pastor could hardly see past his headlights. ☦

On the way he had to drive over a huge bridge. There were posted signs  

*"DO NOT PICK UP HITCH-HIKERS."*

By the base of the bridge, there was an institution for the criminally insane and sometimes people would escape from it and try to catch a ride. 

On this night, as the pastor slowly approached the bridge, a man suddenly appeared in the headlights. 

He was soaked, standing in the middle of the road, frantically waving his shirt over his head and screaming.

The preacher's wife cautioned her husband, 

"Oh please don't stop, try to drive around him!" 

But the car was too close, the man was unavoidable, except to stop or drive over him. 

As soon as the Pastor stoped, the man slapped his hand down on the hood of the car and continued screaming, at the top of his lungs, unabated. 

The preacher felt something in his spirit, looked over to his wife and told her to lock the door after him and to not unlock it until he had returned.

 

His family understandably perturbed and crying, pleaded with him not to get out of the car. 

He opened the door and stepped outside... He was immediately soaked from the rain. 

As he approached the man, all of a sudden he could make out what the man was screaming,

*"THE BRIDGE IS OUT! THE BRIDGE IS OUT! A BUS JUST WENT OVER INTO THE WATER!!!"*

As these words registered in the pastor's mind, he looked back in the car at his wife and two daughters. He wrapped his arm around the man and wept in gratitude. 

The preacher stood there with the man for the next half-hour in the middle of the road, waving his jacket above his head screaming to warn other commuters.

*"STOP!!!!! THE BRIDGE IS OUT! THE BRIDGE IS OUT!"*

For a lost and a dying world, 

*"THE BRIDGE IS OUT!"* 

For a people heading to a Christless Eternity, ☦

*"THE BRIDGE IS OUT!"*

Where are the men and the women who will stand in the middle of the road and forbid people, not to perish?

*_HELL HAS OPENED IT'S MOUTH WIDE AND SADLY MANY ARE SPEEDING INTO IT_*

*THE BRIDGE IS OUT* 

Emotional Intelligence

A car ahead was moving like a turtle and not giving me way inspite of my continuous honking!   I was on brink of losing my cool when I noticed the small sticker on the car’s rear!

“Physically challenged; Please be patient.”

And that changed everything!! 

I immediately went calm & slowed down!! 

In fact, I got a little protective of the car & the driver!!! 

I reached home a few minutes late, but it was ok!

And then it struck me.  

Would I have been patient if there was no sticker?

Why do we need stickers to be patient with people!?

Will we be more patient & kind with others if people had labels pasted on their foreheads?

Labels like —

“ Lost my job” , 

“Fighting cancer”, 

“Going through a bad divorce”,

“Suffering Emotional abuse",

"Lost a loved one”,

“Feeling worthless”,

“Financially broken”,

....and more like these!!

Everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about. 

The least we can do is to be patient, kind & compassionate.

*Let us respect the Invisible Labels !!*

Knowing each is carrying multiple ones.

😜Don't mess with intelligent people-🤪 funny story😛

 

When Nelson Mandela was studying law at the University, a white professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely.

One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room when Mandela came along with his tray & sat next to the professor.

The professor said, 

"Mr Mandela, you do not understand, a pig & a bird do not sit together to eat"

Mandela looked at him as a parent would a rude child & calmly replied, 

*"You do not worry professor. I'll fly away,"* 

& he went & sat at another table.

Mr. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take revenge.

The next day in class he posed the following question: 

"Mr. Mandela, if you were walking down the street & found a package, & within was a bag of wisdom & another bag with money, which one would you take ?"

Without hesitating, Mandela responded, "The one with the money, of course."

Mr. Peters , smiling sarcastically said, 

"I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom."

Nelson Mandela shrugged & responded, *"Each one takes what he doesn't have."*

Mr. Peters, by this time was about to throw a fit, seething with fury. So great was his anger that he wrote on Nelson Mandela's exam sheet the word *"IDIOT"*

& gave it to the future struggle icon.

Mandela took the exam sheet & sat down at his desk trying very hard to remain calm while he contemplated his next move.

A few minutes later, Nelson Mandela got up, walked up to the professor & told him in a dignified polite tone,

"Mr. Peters, *you signed your name on the sheet*, but you forgot to give me my grade."

😂😄😆😩

Don't mess with intelligent people....pass it on to your intellectual friends.... 

May the Lord give us wisdom to respond to our haters, don't hate back but apply wisdom!

🎀Wise words🏆

 This one touched me.......

*WISE WORDS FROM A GREAT THINKER AND OBSERVER!!*

Buffalos kill 7 people every year.

Lions kill 500 people every year.

Hippos kill 800 people every year.

Spiders kill 5000 people every year.

Scorpions kill 7000 people every year.

Snakes kill 10000 people every year.

*And then, surprisingly,*

*Mosquitoes kill 2.7 million people every year. Yes, the smallest are the deadliest!*

*Small 'sins', hardly noticed by many, are the most deadly to your spiritual life.*

Avoid *excuses* for not praying and allotting few moments of your day to your Creator.

*Sins of omission* are just as deadly as sins of commission.

*Gossiping and small lies*, are committed more frequently and are deadly.

Mind those *little compromises* that you do daily. They are the ones that will bring your downfall.

*Successful people have two things on their lips, "Smile and silence".*

Smile can solve problems, while

Silence can avoid problems.

*Sugar and salt may be mixed together*

*but ants reject the salt and carry away only the sugar. Select the right people in life and make your life better and sweeter.

*If you failed to achieve your dreams, change your ways not your Creator.*

Remember, trees change their leaves, not their roots.

*You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks at you.*

Haters will see you walking on water and say it's because you can't swim.

Even if you dance on water, Your enemies will accuse you of raising dust.

*Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your own hands.*

Remember Don’t ever wrestle with a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it.

*BE WISE!*
