TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND ENEMIES


1. Once upon a time I met a man who told me that telling the truth and making someone cry, is better than telling a lie and making someone smile and happy.

2. He said to me your true friends are those who will never avoid you just because they have met new friends.

3. As he kept on speaking to me, he said If some people do not appreciate and value my presence, I should work hard to make them value and appreciate my absence.

4. He said I must not be angry with anyone who is quiet on me because there must be a reason why they are quiet, and that I will get to know the reason later.

5. He told me it is always better to be a blessing to others at all times than to be a burden at all times.

6. He said I must learn to forgive others not because they deserve it but because I deserve the peace that comes with forgiveness.

7. I must know that everyone deserves a second chance and many more chances if they ask for forgiveness, but I must not loose my guard over their intentions.

8. I must not only talk to people in my free time, but I must free my time to talk to people.

9. I must know that the truth may hurt for a little while, but a lie will hurt for a long time.

10. I must learn to value and respect people who tell you the Truth no matter how painful the truth is.

11. I must make my decisions when I am in the right mood, not when I am angry, likewise I must not make promises when I am excited with high emotions.

12. I must know that some people are like candles that burn themselves to give light to others. I should not have regrets if I happen to be one of such candles.

13. I must learn to be a caring friend because it is a thousand times better than a careless lover.

14. I should value and protect my relationships of many years of investments because they are like a book that takes years to write but can get burnt only within few seconds.

15. He specifically said this repeatedly that If I have a problem with someone, I should go tell the person and not go tell the world.

16. He said to me that I should know that nobody is too busy, it is just a matter of their priorities within a day.

17. He said to me that people can trust you when you are consistent with what you say and what you do.

18. He said with a low voice, only God can be totally trusted. Trust God 100%.

19. He then said no matter what, I must not forget those who helped and stood by me in my time of trials and during my difficult times.

20. I must always remember those who turned their backs on me in my difficult times of trials. Not for vengeance, but for the lesson of life.

21. I must be careful with those who put me into difficult times but I must never hate them. It is a lesson of life.

22. He said again I must be grateful at all times to God for this life and for living. It is a previlege and not a right.

23. As he was leaving me, he said, always remember how temporary this world is, I must always be conscious of the reality of eternity with God in heaven or with Satan in hell fire.

24. He smiled and left waving me for a long time. Who must this man be?

25. What he told me may be useful to you.

God bless you more as you meditate upon these words and share with your friends.

MARRY A BEST FRIEND

Friends play a vital role in our lives. The presence of friends in our lives is supposed to be a blessing. There is no security like having a friend who watches your back, guides you, assists you and listens to you. After creating man, God realized there was one thing missing, which was a lifetime friend for the man. That is why He instituted marriage; a lifetime friendship between a man and his wife. In this life, if any one will doubt us, not our friends. If anyone will give up on us, not our friends yet people we call friends, people we take bullets for, are the ones behind the trigger sometimes. Enemies who want to hurt you these days come into your life as your friend, just to have access to you. Satan has succeeded in creating counterfeits, including friends. If this is not the case, how can a husband of ten years of marriage tell his wife, “I no longer feel love for you so I want a divorce”, how can a wife married to wealthy man, leave him because he is now broke. People t...

HOW TO MEASURE SUCCESS

I will be very correct to tell you that many people out there who make use of the word “success” don’t even know what it means. Sometimes people thinks success is all about having fame, riches and respect. The English dictionary describes success as “the achievement of one’s aim or goal” . There are lot of definition and meaning of success but I will take that a more composed meaning, in other words it carries the definition and meaning.           To be successful does not mean you must have half of the world in your hands, or probably, ride on a Bugatti or Ferrari, to be a success don’t not mean you must live in coconut highland, have a mansion and But to the definition I took, success talks about achievement, which is the act of achieving or performing a successful performance. And after it said one’s aim and goal, the word one’s there means your. Now let’s configure the definition removing one’s and putting your, then it will ...

HOW TO INSTILL MANNERS IN YOUR CHILDREN

1. When entering the house greet your children or even hug them. This should help develop their sense of love and self worth. 2. Be good to your neighbors and never backbite. Never speak ill of other drivers when on the road. Your children would listen, absorb and emulate. 3. When calling your parents, encourage your children to speak to them. When visiting your parents take your children with you. The more they see you take care of your parents the more they will learn to take care of you. 4. When driving them to school, don’t always play albums or CD's in the car. Rather, tell them some motivational stories yourself. This will have a greater impact – trust me! 5. Read to them a short story and even a scripture a day – it doesn’t take much time, but very good in creating strong bonds and wonderful memories. 6. Comb your hair, clean your teeth and wear presentable clothes even if sitting at home and not going out for the day. They need to learn that being cl...

WAYS TO HONOR YOUR MAN

1. Respectfully communicate with him. Don't talk to him harshly, rudely or as a nobody. 2. Let him know he’s important to you. Always say it and show it. 3. Purposefully try to understand his feelings—even when you disagree with him. Minimize the frequency of your disagreement. 4. Show interest in his friends by giving him some time to be with them if they’re trust-worthy. 5. Let go of the small stuff. We all have annoying habits and preferences that are different from our spouse’s. Don't impose what you love on him. 6. Tell him you both love him AND like him. 7. Either show interest in his hobbies or allow him space to participate freely. Allow him to enjoy and relax himself. 8. Protect his dignity on a daily basis. Don't talk bad of him and don't allow your friends to do same. 9. When confronting him, realize he has feelings also and not a saint. 10. Foster an atmosphere of laughter in your relationship. Look for ways to laugh together. 11. Try not to m...
