ACCEPTANCE – An answer to all questions

I guess most of us are familiar with this word…but are we familiar with it’s meaning….it means that you perceive reality accurately and consciously acknowledge it.

Sounding really simple n obvious… isn’t it? But in practice it is very difficult because we are not ready to accept the reality. What are we afraid of? What is it we can’t accept? Even God will not answer you if you don’t accept what it is you are praying for…Accepting means, to admit, to face the truth, to acknowledge and to actually perceive and accept our present situation.

Accept your tears.

Accept your love.

Accept your happiness.

Accept your problems

Accept your challenges.

Accept your weaknesses.

Accept your strengths.

Acceptance helps in recognizing an existing problem that needs to be solved. It denotes a kind of confidence. We feel afraid of accepting because we believe that it will crush us into pieces…but acceptance says it is alright….you will not vanish completely… you’ll exist in pieces and can still pick them and combine into a stronger whole.

We can’t change the things….though good or bad that may have happened to us in past. But only after we accept our past, we will be able to say that it has no control over our present. Bitter memories haunt us like ghosts….we cannot run away from them…but we can confine them to the past they belong.

To RESIST is to WASTE your precious energy fighting an important battle. Instead one must surrender that battle so that the next battles can be won.

Accept your grief today, and then accept God’s love and healing for you.

PLZZZ………AVOID THE THORNS

LIFE IS NOT A BED OF ROSES – goes according to a famous saying….. so u may think….. Is it a bed full of thorns?? Well, according to me, Life is a bed of Roses, Roses do have thorns (a fact), all u need to do is… avoid the thorns. It is the way we look at things because each day in life has something to teach us and life is a learning process, so there’s no big deal if you get thorns sometimes. A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. Whatever we may think, plan or rather may even achieve it to the closest end….but life surprises us with an enormous change…a change that was carried over from the past and may affect our present, our future…………

You won’t realize what sweet is until you taste sour. Same is the case with life; you won’t realize how beautiful it is, until you face the challenges and struggle to achieve your goal. If there were no sad moments, the worth of happy moments couldn’t be realized. We must always remember…that “Nothing is Permanent, not even worries” and each phase of life will pass away giving us some unforgettable memories. After every dark night there is a morning filled with lots of light.

That’s what life is…..unpredictable

Life is a Do-It-Yourself Project

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family.

He would miss the paycheck, but he wanted to retire. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."

What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.

So it is with us. If we build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that, we would have done it differently.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely.

It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity.

Your attitudes and the choices you make today will be your life tomorrow, build it wisely.
