Do Little Acts of Kindness coz Kindness Inspires Kindness..

Believe in Humanity and Do Little Acts of Kindness 

"Good Morning" said a woman as she walked up to the man sitting on ground. 

The man slowly looked up. 

This was a woman clearly accustomed to the finer things of life. 
Her coat was new.. She looked like she had never missed a meal in her life. 

His first thought was that she wanted to make fun of him, like so many others had done before.. "Leave me alone," he growled.... 

To his amazement, the woman continued standing. 

She was smiling -- her even white teeth displayed in dazzling rows. 
"Are you hungry?" she asked. 

"No," he answered sarcastically. 
"I've just come from dining with the president. Now go away." 

The woman's smile became even broader.
 Suddenly the man felt a gentle hand under his arm. 

"What are you doing, lady?" the man asked angrily.
 "I said to leave me alone.

Just then a policeman came up. "Is there any problem, ma'am?" he asked.. 

"No problem here, officer," the woman answered.
"I'm just trying to get this man to his feet. Will you help me?" 

The officer scratched his head. 
"That's old Jack. He's been a fixture around here for a couple of years. What do you want with him?" 

"See that cafeteria over there?" she asked. "I'm going to get him something to eat and get him out of the cold for awhile." 

"Are you crazy, lady?" the homeless man resisted. 
"I don't want to go in there!" 
Then he felt strong hands grab his other arm and lift him up.
 "Let me go, officer. I didn't do anything." 

" This is a good deal for you, Jack" the officer answered. "Don't blow it.." 

Finally, and with some difficulty, the woman and the police officer got Jack into the cafeteria and sat him at a table in a remote corner. 
It was the middle of the morning, so most of the breakfast crowd had already left and the lunch bunch had not yet arrived... 

The manager strode across the cafeteria and stood by his table. 
"What's going on here, officer?" he asked. "What is all this, is this man in trouble?" 

"This lady brought this man in here to be fed," the policeman answered. 

"Not in here!" the manager replied angrily.
 "Having a person like that here is bad for business.." 

Old Jack smiled a toothless grin. "See, lady. I told you so. Now if you'll let me go. I didn't want to come here in the first place." 

The woman turned to the cafeteria manager and smiled.... 
"Sir, are you familiar with Eddy and Associates, the banking firm down the street?" 

"Of course I am," the manager answered impatiently. 
"They hold their weekly meetings in one of my banquet rooms." 

"And do you make a goodly amount of money providing food at these weekly meetings?" 

"What business is that of yours?" 

I, Sir, am Penelope Eddy, President and CEO of the company." 

"Oh." 

The woman smiled again. "I thought that might make a difference."
 She glanced at the cop who was busy stifling a giggle.
 "Would you like to join us in a cup of coffee and a meal, officer?" 

"No thanks, ma'am," the officer replied. "I'm on duty." 

"Then, perhaps, a cup of coffee to go?"

"Yes, mam. That would be very nice." 

The cafeteria manager turned on his heel, 
"I'll get your coffee for you right away, officer." 

The officer watched him walk away.
 "You certainly put him in his place," he said. 

"That was not my intent. Believe it or not, I have a reason for all this." 

She sat down at the table across from her amazed dinner guest. 
She stared at him intently.. "Jack, do you remember me?" 

Old Jack searched her face with his old, rheumy eyes. 
"I think so -- I mean you do look familiar." 

"I'm a little older perhaps," she said. 
"Maybe I've even filled out more than in my younger days when you worked here, and I came through that very door, cold and hungry." 

"Ma'am?" the officer said questioningly. 
He couldn't believe that such a magnificently turned out woman could ever have been hungry. 

"I was just out of college," the woman began. 
"I had come to the city looking for a job, but I couldn't find anything. Finally I was down to my last few cents and had been kicked out of my apartment. 
I walked the streets for days. It was February and I was cold and nearly starving. I saw this place and walked in on the off chance that I could get something to eat." 

Jack lit up with a smile. "Now I remember," he said.. 
"I was behind the serving counter. You came up and asked me if you could work for something to eat. 
I said that it was against company policy." 

"I know," the woman continued. 
"Then you made me the biggest roast beef sandwich that I had ever seen, gave me a cup of coffee, and told me to go over to a corner table and enjoy it.
 I was afraid that you would get into trouble...
 Then, when I looked over and saw you put the price of my food in the cash register, I knew then that everything would be all right." 

"So you started your own business?" Old Jack said. 

"I got a job that very afternoon. I worked my way up. Eventually I started my own business that, with the help of God, prospered." 
She opened her purse and pulled out a business card.. 
"When you are finished here, I want you to pay a visit to a Mr. Lyons...He's the personnel director of my company. I'll go talk to him now and I'm certain he'll find something for you to do around the office." 
She smiled. "I think he might even find the funds to give you a little advance so that you can buy some clothes and get a place to live until you get on your feet... 
If you ever need anything, my door is always opened to you." 

There were tears in the old man's eyes. 
"How can I ever thank you?" he said.

"Don't thank me," the woman answered. 
"To God goes the glory. Thank Jesus.... He led me to you." 

Outside the cafeteria, the officer and the woman paused at the entrance before going their separate ways.... 

"Thank you for all your help, officer," she said. 

"On the contrary, Ms. Eddy," he answered. 
"Thank you. I saw a miracle today, something that I will never forget. 
And..And thank you for the coffee." 

Don't forget that when you "cast your bread upon the waters," you never know how it will be returned to you.. 

Life is an Echo
What you send out- comes back.
You Reap What You Sow !!!
So Spread Kindness


 

Have a Blessed Day &
Remember to be a Blessing to Others... 

Who is Faithful ???

There is a legend of a woman who had a faithful dog.
This dog was so faithful that the woman could leave her baby with it and go out to attend other matters.
She always returned to find the child soundly asleep with the dog faithfully watching over him.

One day, something tragic happened.

The woman as usual, left the baby in the "hands" of this faithful dog and went out shopping.
When she returned, she discovered a rather nasty scene.
There was a total mess.

The baby's cot was dismantled.
His nappies and clothes torn to shreds, with bloodstains all over the bedroom where she had left the child and the dog.
Shocked, the woman wailed as she began looking for the baby.

Presently, she saw the faithful dog emerging from the under the bed.
It was covered with blood and licking its mouth as if it had just finished a delicious meal.
The woman went berserk and assumed that the dog had devoured her baby.
Without much thought, she clubbed the dog to death.

But as she continued searching for the "remains" of her child, she beheld another scene.

Close to the bed was her baby who, although lying on the bare floor, was safe.
And under the bed, the carcass of a jackal torn to pieces in what must have been a fierce battle between it and the dog which was now dead.

Then reality hit the woman, who now began to understand what took place in her absence.
The dog fought to protect the baby from the ravenous jackal. 
It was too late for her now to make amends because in her impatience and anger, she had killed the faithful dog.


Question Is:-
How often have we misjudged people and torn them to shreds with harsh words and even with physical assault before we have had time to evaluate the situation?
A little patience can drastically reduce major life long errors.

Think about it!

Nothing Will Obstruct Me

Nothing Will Obstruct Me

Neither the sadness, disappointment or
Neither the uncertainty, or the loneliness
NOTHING WILL OBSTRUCT ME SMILING


Neither fear, or depression,
Putting more suffering my heart,
NOTHING WILL DETAIN DREAMING OF ME


Neither despair nor disbelief,
Much less hatred or any offense,
NOTHING WILL OBSTRUCT OF LIVING.


Amid the darkness, among the thorns,
In storms and the sacrifices
NOTHING HAD ME PREVENTED FROM HAVING FAITH


Even wandering and learning,
All I will be favourable,
To that I can always move
Preserving, serve, sing,
Thank, forgive, again ...


I WANT THE DAY LIVE TODAY
As if it were THE FIRST,
As if it were the LAST,
As if it were YOUR ONLY.


I live for the moment now
As if this were early,
As never be late.

I want to keep the optimism,
Keep the balance,
To strengthen my hope,
Recompor my energies,
To succeed in my mission
And live happy every day.


I walk in the certainty of reaching,
I want to fight on the certainty of winning,
I search the certainty of achieving,
I know wait
To achieve the ideals of my being.


FINALLY,
I want to give up on me,
to play hard.

Beautiful Tommorrow

BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW

I missed my day, completely today
But I would not , tomorrow
For the days are mine, world is mine
All the life is totally mine

I missed my fortune, all way today
But I would not, tomorrow
For luck can't be bad everyday
leaving just pains totally my way

I missed my path, totally today
But I would not, tomorrow
For I would reach back the right way
Making my path clear by today

I missed my soul,somewhere today
But I would not, tomorrow
For I would start my life afresh
Fragrancing my soul in every possible way

I missed my everything, only today
But I would surely not,tomorrow
Though tomorrow might not be my day
My little Hope lets me live my life this way..

Faith

Faith

Faith isn't anything you can see;
It isn't anything you can touch.
But you can feel it in your heart.
Faith is what keeps you trying
When others would have given up.
It keeps you believing in
The goodness of others
And helps you find it.

Faith is trusting in a power
Greater than yourself
And knowing that whatever happens,
This power will carry you through anything.
It is believing in yourself
And having courage
To stand up for what you believe in.

Faith is:
Peace in the midst of a storm,
Determination in the midst
Of adversity,
And safety in the midst of trouble.
For nothing can touch a soul
That is protected by faith.

Faith Looks Up...

When you are scared or confused

and you don't know what to do

and you don't know where to turn

always remember this:

Sorrow looks back,

Worry looks around,

 

Faith looks up.

 

Faith

Faith

Doubt sees the obstacles
Faith sees the way
Doubt sees the darkest night
Faith sees the day
Doubt dreads to take a step
Faith soars on high.
Doubt questions 'who believes?'
Faith answers, 'I.'

Faith Is Stronger Than My Fears

Faith Is Stronger Than My Fears

Sometimes my cross is hard to bear
For there is darkness everywhere,
And troubles pile around my door
Like autumn leaves forevermore.

The morning light seems far away,
Like I am stuck in yesterday.
My heart is beating like a drum -
I try to pray, but words won't come.

But then the sun begins to rise
And hope is born within my eyes.
A rainbow forms among my tears
For faith is stronger than my fears!
