“GIVING”

“Oh no Melissa! Not again”, cried Melissa’s mother. This is the seventh time Melissa came home from school without her gloves. This little six-year old girl had been giving her gloves away to those children who hasn’t any. One pair after another, day after day, Melissa gave freely and came home with empty hands. Even though the weather grew colder day by day, Melissa doesn’t care about herself but about others.

How many of us are like Melissa? Do we care for others? Or do we only care for ourselves? Of course, I’m not saying that we should give away whatever we have, but are we willing to give just a little from what we have? Are we willing to lift up our hands and give to those in need?

“Give and it shall be given to you”-the Bible says so. “A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38).

Our life is full of God’s blessings, full of His gifts. So don’t you think that we should have a little bit of common sense to share those gifts with others as well? Consider this, “Freely we receive, freely we must give.”

A person who has the will to give is a person who’s rich in heart. And a person who’s rich in heart will be blessed in whatever he does.

Give more and be rich. Give less and be poor. Or we can say, “ Be selfish and live a miserable life. Be a giver and lead a happy life.”

You decide, which is better? The former or the latter?

“HAVING A BAD MEMORY”

I believe every person in this world wants to have a good memory, a memory that’s good enough to remember things. But having a bad memory too is not that bad. As one saying goes, “Happiness lies, first of all, in health and a bad memory.” This is so true!

Having a bad memory simply means forgetting things. Forgetting every wrong thing being done to you is the most perfect solution to a man’s sorrow-filled heart. What do you gain in remembering a wrong deed? What do you gain when you keep thinking about a person who hates you?

As people are saying these common words “Forget it” nowadays, it is important that we should turn these words into actions. The more we remember our uncomfortable situations, the more uncomfortable, miserable and bitter we’ll become.
One of our duties here on earth is to forgive and forget!

Forget it when people hate you. Forget it when they say unpleasant things to you. Forget it when remembrance about such things overwhelms you. Forget it for all of these are useless things…. things of no worth at all.

Make yourself a truly happy person by practicing to have a bad memory….cause that’s all there is.

So when are you planning to forget things?

“THE CRYING GIRL” - Pynhunshisha B. Lynser

Once when I was crying,
I saw another girl crying too.
I had a question on my mind,
So I asked her, “What happened to you?”
But to my surprise,
She asked me the same question too!!
I wonder how, I wonder why,
She could imitate me at the same time.
And I was also shocked to see that
She was wearing clothes just like mine.
As I was wondering as much as I could,
In front of a mirror was where I stood.

“TOMORROW” - Pynhunshisha B. Lynser

I thought of doing my homework,

But then I know tomorrow will come.

So off I went and enjoy myself,

Thinking that my work will surely be done.

I thought of finishing some household chores,

But then I remembered tomorrow will come.

So why not take a rest today,

Cause by tomorrow the chores will be done.

I planned of visiting my friend,

But somehow it came to my mind that

Tomorrow is still there,

So pending will surely be fair.

I remembered an important work that I have to do,

So off I went thinking about tomorrow too.

I said, “Tomorrow may as well be fine,

So let me finish my work tomorrow in time.”

So tomorrow came and knock my door,

I realized that I haven’t finished a single chore.

Problems tumbled down my face,

In front of me every pending work lays.

My mind is filled with confusion,

I can’t find any solution,

Nothing is going well with me,

Problems and only problems I see.

But one thing I came to know,

Nothing must be kept till tomorrow.

What we can accomplish today;

We must finish it, come what may.

So that when tomorrow comes, 

There will be no worry, not even problems,

Cause our duties have been accomplished in time,

Tomorrow will become absolutely fine.
