“If you carry old bricks from your past relationship
to your new one,
you will build the same house that
fell apart before.”

• Apologize when you’re wrong.😓
Be silent when you’re right.
Ask if you’re not sure.
Admit it when you make a mistake.
Forgive when you’re wronged.
You’ll have a wonderful relationship…

A Minister passing through his church in the middle of the day decided to pause by the altar to see who came to pray. Just then the back door opened, and a man came down the aisle. The minister frowned as he saw the man hadn’t shaved in a while. His shirt was torn and shabby, and his coat was worn and frayed. The man knelt down and bowed his head, then rose and walked away. In the days that followed at precisely noon, the preacher saw this chap, Each time he knelt just for a moment, a lunch pail in his lap. Well, the minister’s suspicions grew, with robbery a main fear, He decided to stop and ask the man, ‘What are you doing here?’ The old man said he was a factory worker and lunch was half an hour. Lunchtime was his prayer time, for finding strength and power. I stay only a moment because the factory’s far away; As I kneel here talking to the Lord, this is kind of what I say: ‘I Just Came By To Tell You, Lord, How Happy I Have Been, Since We Found Each Other’s Friendship And You Took Away My Sin. Don’t Know Much Of How To Pray, But I Think About You Every day. So, Jesus, This Is Ben, Just Checking In Today.’ The minister, feeling foolish, told Ben that it was fine. He told the man that he was welcome to pray there anytime. ‘It’s time to go, and thanks,’ Ben said as he hurried to the door. Then the minister knelt there at the altar, which he’d never done before. His heart melted, warmed with love, as he met with Jesus there. As the tears flowed down his cheeks, He repeated old Ben’s prayer: ‘I Just Came By To Tell You, Lord, How Happy I’ve Been, Since We Found Each Other’s Friendship and You Took Away My Sin. I Don’t Know Much Of How To Pray, But I Think About You Every day. So, Jesus, This Is Me, Just Checking In Today.’ Past noon one day, the minister noticed that old Ben hadn’t come. As more days passed and still no Ben, He began to worry some. At the factory, he asked about him, learning he was ill. The hospital staff was worried, But he’d given them a thrill. The week that Ben was with them, Brought changes in the ward. His smiles and joy contagious. Changed people were his reward. The head nurse couldn’t understand why Ben could be so glad, When no flowers, calls or cards came, not a visitor he had. The minister stayed by his bed, He voiced the nurse’s concern: No friends had come to show they cared. He had nowhere to turn. Looking surprised, old Ben spoke up and with a winsome smile; ‘The nurse is wrong, she couldn’t know, He’s been here all the while.’ Every day at noon He comes here, a dear friend of mine, you see, He sits right down and takes my hand, Leans over and says to me: ‘I Just Came By To Tell You, Ben, How Happy I Have Been, Since We Found This Friendship, And I Took Away Your Sin. I Think About You Always, And I Love To Hear You Pray, And So Ben, This Is Jesus, Just Checking In Today.’ Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. May God hold you in the palm of His hand And Angels watch over you. Jesus said,’If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father’

Relationships are like computer games.
It ends fast when cheats exist.

Every deep thinker is more afraid of
being understood than of being misunderstood.
— Friedrich Nietzsche

I know it’s been a long,
tiring day for you and I hope you give
yourself enough credit for working
hard and doing your best.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
Don’t give up.

Don’t lose hope. When the SUN goes down,
the STARS come out

Stone is broken with the last stroke of hammer.
This doesn’t mean that 1st stroke was useless.
Success is the result of continuous efforts.
