Going gif gif over MJ...

Just some hot MJ gifs to enjoy Aussie's summer tail end :)

 

 oh lawd! have mercy!

An explanation of God.

Here's a heartwarming piece written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, from Chula Vista , CA   He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment, to ‘explain God.’

EXPLANATION OF GOD:

‘One of God’s main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn’t make grownups,  just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way he doesn’t have to take up his valuable time teaching them to talk and walk. He can just leave  that to mothers and fathers.’

‘God’s second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things, pray at times beside bedtime. God doesn’t have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this. Because he  hears everything, there must be a terrible lot of noise in his ears, unless he has thought  of a way to turn it off.’

‘God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere which keeps Him pretty busy.  So you shouldn’t go wasting his time by going over your mom and dad’s head asking  for something they said you couldn’t have.’ ’Atheists are people who don’t believe in God. I don’t think there are any in  Chula Vista . At least there aren’t any who come to our church.’

‘Jesus is God’s Son. He used to do all the hard work, like walking on water and performing miracles and trying to teach the people who didn’t want to learn about God. They finally got tired of him preaching to them and they crucified him But he was good and kind, like his father, and he told his father that they didn’t know what they were  doing and to forgive them and God said O.K.’

‘His dad (God) appreciated everything that he had done and all his hard wo rk on earth so he told him he didn’t have to go out on the road anymore. He could stay in heaven. So he did. And now he helps his dad out by listening to prayers and seeing things  which are important for God to take care of and which ones he can take care of  himself without having to bother God. Like a secretary, only more important.’

‘You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you because they got it worked  out so one of them is on duty all the time.’

‘You should always go to church on Sunday because it makes God happy, and if there’s anybody you want to make happy, it’s God!

Don’t skip church to do something you think will be more fun like going to the beach.  This is wrong. And besides the sun doesn’t come out at the beach until noon anyway.’

‘If you don’t believe in God, besides being an atheist, you will be very lonely, because  your parents can’t go everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can. It is good to  know He’s around you when you’re scared, in the dark or when you can’t swim and you  get thrown into real deep water by big kids.’ ’But… you shouldn’t just always think of what God can do for you. I figure God put me here and he can take me back anytime he pleases.

And…that’s why I believe in God.’

DO IT ANYWAY

Today's Words To Live By posting is one of my topmost favourite poem, Do It Anyway; it was reportedly  written on the wall of Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta, India, and are widely attributed to her. 

 People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.  
Forgive them anyway.
.
            If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.  
Be kind anyway.     

 If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.  

Succeed anyway.

           If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.  

Be honest and sincere anyway.

            What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.  

Create anyway.

            If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.  

Be happy anyway.

            The good you do today, will often be forgotten.  

Do good anyway.

         Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.  

Give your best anyway.

         In the final analysis, it is between you and God.  

It was never between you and them anyway.

--- Mother Teresa

Feel The Peace

For our Feel Terrific Tuesday

Feel The Peace 

When 
The orchard 
 Of your dreams 
No longer bears fruits 
Listen to the blossom of silence
Hear the vastness of the still ocean 
Feel the peace of no leaves in the breeze 
Touch the freedom of no illusions 
And see that your signature 
Reveals not a face or a name 
As the climax lacks thunder 
For divine light is gentle 
And the silence 
Is pure 


- silent lotus -

A Michaelific Monday to you all!

To kickstart this week lightly but bubbly, here are some more funny cute MJ macros I randomly found lately from other sites...

Today at Spiritual Sunday:

Gardening God's Way  

Plant three rows of peas:

Peace of mind

 Peace of heart

Peace of soul.

Plant four rows of squash:

Squash gossip

       Squash indifference

    Squash grumbling

      Squash selfishness

Plant four rows of lettuce:

     Lettuce be faithful

 Lettuce be kind

       Lettuce be obedient

                      Lettuce really love one another

No garden without turnips:

    Turnip for meetings

  Turnip for service

              Turnip to help one another

     Water freely with patience and cultivate love

There is much fruit for your garden
Because you reap what you sow.

To conclude our garden

We must have thyme:

Thyme for God

   Thyme for study

    Thyme for prayer

   Thyme for family

    Thyme for friends

Today's find is about 'sleeping'... geez! I must be really feeling dead-tired, what with a very looong week of working long hours everyday...

Top 10 Excuses for Sleeping at Work

1.   Someone must’ve put decaf in the wrong pot.
2.  I was working smarter — not harder.
3.   Whew! I musta left the top off the liquid paper.
4.   Oh, I wasn’t sleeping! I was meditating on our mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm!
5.   I was testing the keyboard for drool-resistance.
6.   Boy, that cold medicine I took last night just won’t wear off!
7.   I’m actually doing a “Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan” (SLEEP) I learned at that seminar you made me attend.
8.   I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Do you discriminate against people who practice Yoga?
9.   They told me at the blood bank this might happen.
10.   Geez, boss, I thought you were gone for the day.

lol!!!

Be inspired with today's WTLB...

Words To Live By

It's not how much you accomplish in life that really counts,

but how much you give to other.

It's not how high you build your dreams that makes a difference,

but how high your faith can climb.

It's not how many goals you reach,

but how many lives you touch.

It's not who you know that matters,

but who you are inside.

Believe in the impossible,

hold tight to the incredible,

and live each day to its fullest potential.

You can make a difference in your world.

-- Rebecca Barlow Jordan --

A Feel Terrific Tuesday's Blessing

May the sun bring you new energy by day,

May the moon softly restore you by night,

May the rain wash away your worries,

May the breeze blow new strength 

into your being.

May you walk through the world and know

Its beauty all the days of your life.

--- Apache Blessing

Decide to have a good day.

"Today is the day the Lord hath made;

Man looks at outward appearance;

but the Lord looks at the heart."

[I Samuel 16:7]

God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have 

meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking.

"He who guards his lips guards his soul."

4. Stand Up!...

For what you believe in.

Stand for something or you will fall for anything..

we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..."

To the Lord.

"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me."

[Philippians 4:13]

and lean not unto your own understanding.

In all your ways, acknowledge Him,

and He will direct your path."

"Do not worry about anything;

instead PRAY ABOUT

EVERYTHING."
