This is  a reminder that we never know who is going to need our help and we need to not ignore that nagging voice that speaks to us, all be it sometimes a tiny voice to help others instead of rushing by caught up in the unimportant business of living in this 2009 lifestyle....All this rushing for what?

When you slow down you realize that if you put things in God's hands you do not need to live in the insane pace of this world and you will be just as successful and just as strong and your family will love you..most of all you will have no regrets when your children are grown and on their own...

I have done that this year and my income has not only increased but my life is filled with peace..Learn to trust in Him and fear no more!  It does take lot's of practice for us control freaks but it makes your life blessed incredibly.

Be Blessed or Be a blessing today!

Five (5) lessons about the way we

treat people

1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.

During my second month of college,

 our professor

Gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student

And had breezed through the questions

 until I read

The last one:

"What is the first name of the woman who

cleans the school?"

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had

 seen the

Cleaning woman several times.

She was tall,

Dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would

I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last

 questionBlank. Just before class ended, one

student asked if The last question would count

 toward our quiz grade..

"Absolutely, " said the professor. "In your

careers,

You will meet many people.  All are significant.

 They

Deserve your attention and care, even if

 all you do

Is smile and say "hello."

I've never forgotten that lesson. I also

learned her Name was Dorothy.

2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in

 the Rain

One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African

American

Woman was standing on the side of an

 Alabama highway

Trying to endure a lashing rain storm.

Her car haBroken down and she

desperately needed a ride.

Soaking wet, she decided to flag down

 the next car.

A young white man stopped to help her,

 generally

Unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's.

 The man

Took her to safety, helped her get

assistance and

Put her into a taxicab.

She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote

 down hisAddress and thanked him.

 Seven days went by and a

Knock came on the man's door. To his

surprise, a Giant console color TV was

delivered to his home. A

Special note was attached.

It read:

"Thank you so much for assisting me on

the highwayThe other night. The rain drenched

 not only myClothes, but also my spirits.

 Then you came along. Because of you,

I was able to make it to my dying

Husband's' bedside just before

he passed away... God Bless you for

helping me and unselfishly serving

Others."

Sincerely,

Mrs. Nat King Cole.

3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember

 those Who serve.

In the days when an ice cream sundae

cost much less,

A 10-year-old boy entered a hotel

coffee shop and

Sat at a table. A waitress put a glass

 of water in Front of him.

"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.

"Fifty cents," replied the waitress..

The little boy pulled his hand out of his

 pocket and Studied the coins in it.

"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?"

 he inquired By now more people were waiting

for a table and theWaitress was

 growing impatient.

"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins.

"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.

The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on

The table and walked away. The boy finished the ice

Cream, paid the cashier and left.  When the waitress

Came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the

Table.  There, placed neatly beside the empty dish,

Were two nickels and five pennies.

You see,  he couldn't  have the sundae,

because he hadTo have enough left to

leave her a tip.

4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle

in Our Path.

In ancient times, a King had a boulder

 placed on aRoadway.  Then he hid himself

 and watched to see if

Anyone would remove the huge rock.  Some of the

King's' wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by

And simply walked around it.  Many loudly blamed the

King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did

Anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of

Vegetables.  Upon approaching the boulder, the

peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the

stone to the side of the road.  After much pushing

and straining, he finally succeeded. After the

peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed

a purse lying in the road where the boulder had

been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note

from the King indicating that the gold was for the

person who removed the boulder from the roadway.  The

peasant learned what many of us never understand!

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve

our condition.

5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts..

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a

hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who

was suffering from a rare & serious disease.  Her only

chance of recovery appeared to be a blood

transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had

miraculously survived the same disease and had

developed the antibodies needed to combat the

illness.  The doctor explained the situation to her

little brother, and asked the little boy if he would

be willing to give his blood to his sister.

I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a

deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save

 her.."  As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed

 next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing

 the color returning to her cheek. Then his face

 grew pale and his smile faded.

He looked up at the doctor and asked with a

trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away".

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the

doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his

sister all of his blood in order to save her..
