😭😭😭😭😭😭

A 30 year-old son decided to admit his father into an old peoples home as desired by his wife. He brought the father in a car to an old peoples home run by a Catholic priest.

Then appeared this elderly priest, who came out to have a long chat with the old man.

The son wondered and asked the priest whether he knew his father before, since they were talking as though they knew each other.

The priest replied, yes, and continued, "He came here 30 years back and took with him a very sick orphan boy who everyone else had rejected for adoption.

This man gave that boy a home and save his life. He told us this little boy deserves better and I'll dedicate my life to make him the wealthiest young man when he turns 25".

The priest continued, "I don't know how long you have known him but I can tell you he is a good man and I am glad to inform you that you were the sick boy".

The boy, on hearing this, fell on his knees and begged the old man for forgiveness.

The old man looked at him with a smile and said, "Son, I have forgiven you. You threw me out of my own home because of your wife.

Take the house, but know that I have removed you from my documents as the sole heir of my empire.

I have willed all my properties to this orphanage where I now belong."

At the height of your success don't forget where you are coming from, if not you will miss your destination and lose your Crown.

I pray we will not forget those who helped us to get to the top.

Never Lose Your Own Value...

Hi dearie,

Happy Sunday, hope you enjoy your weekend so far! This evening, I would like to share a very good story lesson that I've heard few years ago.

A popular speaker started off a seminar by holding up a $20 bill. A crowd of 200 had gathered to hear him speak.
He asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?”

200 hands went up.

He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.” He crumpled the bill up.

He then asked, “Who still wants it?”

All 200 hands were still raised.

“Well,” he replied, “What if I do this?” Then he dropped the bill on the ground and stomped on it with his shoes.

He picked it up, and showed it to the crowd. The bill was all crumpled and dirty.

“Now who still wants it?”

All the hands still went up.

“My friends, I have just showed you a very important lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, life crumples us and grinds us into the dirt. We make bad decisions or deal with poor circumstances. We feel worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

You are special – Don’t ever forget it!

Couples: Don’t let marriage make you fat.

Why do people gain weight after marriage? Some people attribute it to frequent sex, some to feelings of contentment while some to good food (and eating a lot of it).

A 2012 study found that couples who have been married for two years or longer are more likely to gain weight than their single counterparts. According to the study, newly married women in their early 20s gain an average of 10kg in the first five years of marriage and men in the same age group gain an average of 13kg during that same period.

There are a number of reasons that could be responsible for weight gain after marriage. A single person would want to stay slender, look attractive and get the attention of the opposite sex. Once married, the pressure to stay fit is off and feelings of satisfaction and security take over. Weight gain is therefore more likely.

Married people also tend to prepare larger meals at home, which could invariably lead to eating more. It is also likely that a married person would eat some foods they wouldn’t normally eat but because their spouse wants to eat such foods.

If you are married, you should know that marriage is not a license to gain weight. Your weight is as important as it was as a single person and now as a married person. Weight is not just about physical appearance; it greatly determines the state of your health (physical, mental and social).

If you are not yet married, don’t be scared of “marriage fat” or the “love chub”, you can remain as fit as you are now then. Just bear in mind that you have to work at it. For the married, here are some of the things you should start to do if you have not started already.

• Make working out or exercising an integral part of your relationship
• Prepare healthy meals and eat them in moderation. Do not be tempted to eat leftovers when you are full
• Reduce eating out
• Create time for outdoor activities. Do not spend most leisure watching TV
• Monitor your weight; don’t get too comfortable and care less about your weight and appearance.

Endeavour to Work Out Always. 

Happiness, the KEY to Success

So many people are thinking that they will be happy only if they graduate from university, find a dream job, earn a high income, drive a big car, live in a big house... and the list goes on. However, they failed to realize that whenever they achieve their goal, they will aim for a bigger goal and never get to be truly happy.

In fact, happiness is a choice, it does not require any of the above to happen. You can choose to be happy when the weather is great, when you eat a hearty meal, when you find the time to take a nap.

Make your choice! Be happy now!

To Your Positive Life!

The Elephant Rope

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. 

They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? How many of us are held back in life because of a limiting belief?

Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

Identify a limiting belief and overcome it! Do share the limiting belief that you are determined to overcome. 

Cheers. 

Saturday Story... BUTTERFLY

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissor and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!

Have a fun filled weekend.. .

Sometimes You Need CHARACTER, Not Prayer.

#pauseandpounder

No matter how we pray, attitude has its place. This is the strong truth a lot of today's Christian fail to understand.
Prayer is good, but prayer isn't the answer to everything.
Somewhere in the scriptures, the Bible says that before we pray, he will answer...
You know why?
Because we've exhibited attitudes that will attract miracles...

People, sometimes pray for miracles to happen, what you need is character, not prayer, not speaking in tongues.
God is a spirit, and for him to bless you, he needs to pass through a man.

If you lack good relationships with men, you'll hardly be blessed.
God works with relationship.
You must learn to treat people with courtesy..

The Shunammite woman must have been praying for a child all through her life.
I'm sure!
She was a prominent woman and surely she had money but couldn't buy a child.

You know what made her have a child?
She took care of Elisha, a man of God.
She respected him, she was hospitable, kind, and exhibit good character!

Elisha, spoke into her womb and in a year, she had a child.
Assuming she wasn't polite, kind and hospitable?
She might still been praying, fasting, binding and casting demons that doesn't exist.

Sometimes, we are our demons. Our attitudes are our destiny killers.
Some of us have insulted people that were divinely orchestrated to help us in the journey of our life...
Some of us are keeping malice with our destiny helper...
Some of us are still suffering, not because we lack talent(s) but because we lack character.

Talent is attractive.
Anyone can be talented, but character is a proof of discipline. A proof of responsibility.
Character sustains the attraction talent gives you.
Character is virtue, and sometimes what we call FAVOUR is triggered by virtue.

Mary was a Virgin. She had virtue! Which attracted the favour of being the mother of the Saviour of the world!!!
In all thy getting, get character...
Respect people.
Treat strangers with courtesy...
Be kind...
Your Angel won't always come like an Angel...
Look down on nobody, anyone can change your life.

It was the maid of Naaman, that told him where to get healing. Naaman was a great man but had leprosy. He must have visited the greatest hospital in the world as of that time. Who would have ever thought that the solution to his problem was in the mouth of his maid?

Sometimes the solutions of our problems are trapped in the mouths of mere people, but many of us are not humble enough to see it.

Prayer is not all. Build relationships. God will use man.
Respect people. Get character.

Have a great day.

Success Can Only Happen When You Decide What You Want

If success is defined as a daily process of moving towards our goals, then we must first be clear about what our goals are.

If you do not define what your goals are, then how can you tell if the actions you take daily are moving in the direction or not?

Without goals, success is impossible.

Imagine playing a soccer game without knowing where the goal post is.

You won't know where to run to or which direction to aim the ball at.

Without a goal post, you cannot keep score on the game and tell if you are winning or losing.

It may seem absurd to play a ball game without knowing where the goal post is.

However, isn't this the way most people play their game of life?

Many people never decide what they really want; what their goals are.

As a result, they take sporadic actions, in all directions and end up achieving nothing. 

To Your Success

Do You Ever Ask 'Why Me?' When Life Is Good?

Dearest,

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player, was dying of AIDS. He contracted HIV during the blood transfusions he had received during a heart surgery in 1983.

From all over the world, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease?"

To this Arthur Ashe replied:
"The world over, 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, and 2 make it to the finals.

When I was holding a cup, I never asked GOD 'Why me? And today, in pain, I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?'"

With Love,
Yhemmy

Note:-
Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failure keeps you Humble and Success keeps you Glowing,
But only Faith & Attitude keeps you Going.
