I will Never Quit

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. --Jeremiah 29:11

Don't give up.....

One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.

'God', I asked, 'Can you give me one good reason not to quit?'
His answer surprised me...
'Look around', He said. 'Do you see the fern and the bamboo?'

'Yes', I replied.
'When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.

I gave them light.

I gave them water.

The fern quickly grew from the earth.

Its brilliant green covered the floor.

Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.
In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.'In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.

But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would
not quit.' He said.
'Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared
to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...But just 6
months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.
I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.'
He asked me. 'Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots'.

'I would not quit on the bamboo.

I will never quit on you.'
'Don't compare yourself to others.'

He said.

'The bamboo had adifferent Purpose than the fern.

Yet they both make the forest beautiful.'
'Your time will come', God said to me.

'You will rise high'
'How high should I rise?'

I asked.
'How high will the bamboo rise?' He asked in return.'As high as it can?' I questioned.
'Yes.' He said, 'Give me glory by rising as high as you can.'
I left the forest and brought back this story.

I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.
Never, Never, Never Give up.
For the Christian Prayer is not an option but an opportunity.
Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is,
tell the problem how Great the Lord is!

Heavens door open this morning, God asked me... My CHILD...
what can I do for you?' and I said 'Daddy please protect and bless the one reading this message.
God smiled and answered ... 'request granted ............

This message is now in your hands.
What will YOU do with it?

send this to at least 10 people so they too will have their

lives in God's hands You never know when GOD is going to bless you!! Good things happen when you least expect them to !!!!!!!!

Interdependence

Life has lot of things to offer. It creates wonderful stuff that one can enjoy. Take a look at this lovely corn. It never wanted to be alone, it's bringing with it another cob to grow within. I had never seen one like this before but such a sight is pretty compelling that even with plants there is that sharing that exist. A coexistence, an interdependence that we human should realize between one another. This scene is so worthy of a reflection of interdependence. Take a look at Anatikey's thought about this at http://www.anatikey.cartizgis.com/2011/07/interdependence/

Solving Problem

"Problems cannot be solved by thinking within the framework in

which the problems were created."

Ever notice how all of women's problems start with MEN?

TO ALL THE WOMEN OUT THERE, have a NICE day!!!!! (and MEN of course>..

Believe it or not.
Woman has Man in it;
Mrs. has Mr . in it;
Female has Male in it;
She has He in it;
Madam has Adam in it;
No wonder men always want to be inside women!

Men were born between the legs of a woman, yet men spend all their life and time trying to go back between the legs of a woman....
Why?
BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Okay, Okay, it all makes sense now...
I never looked at it this way before:

Ever notice how all of women's problems start with MEN?

THE ITALIAN ELBOW

An Italian grandmother is giving directions to her grown grandson

who is coming to visit with his wife.

"You comma to de front door of the apartamenta. I am inna apartamenta 301.

There issa bigga panel at the front door. With you elbow, pusha button 301.

I will buzza you in. Come inside, the elevator is on the right.

Get in, and with you elbow, pusha 3.

When you get out, I'mma on the left. With you elbow, hit my doorbell."

Grandma, that sounds easy, but, why am I hitting all these buttons with my elbow?

"WHAT? YOU COMING EMPTY-HANDED!!!"

Clinton on Health Care of Canada

TORONTO (CP) - They were in town to discuss economics and humanity but it was Canada's health-care system the audience wanted advice about.

Asked about the growing interest by some for a privatization of the health-care system, former U.S. president Bill Clinton said Monday night that Canadians should think long and hard before making any move. "Whatever you do, there's no such thing as a perfect system," the charismatic leader told the approximately 250 dinner guests, which included Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and businessman Conrad Black, attending the inaugural World Leaders Forum.
But Clinton said the last thing anyone would want to do is let the "health care finance tail wag the health care dog."
He said America did just that and the system is a mess.
He said the U.S. spends 34 per cent of its health-care costs on administration, equalling $280 billion "to pay two million people to go to work every day for all the providers and insurers and play tug-of-war."
"It is insane," said Clinton. "It is a colossal waste of money. Don't go down that road. Don't do anything that will lead to increased administrative costs."
By comparison, Canada spends 19 per cent on administration, Clinton said.
He was joined by Israeli Vice-Premier Shimon Peres at a $3,000-a-plate fundraiser at Toronto's tony Windsor Arms hotel. Monies raised will benefit Ontario's Pine River Institute, a teen recovery program, and Israel's Nano Technology Research.
During his speech, the former president spoke eloquently and passionately on a range of topics including interdependence among countries, the threat of a pandemic flu and peace in the Middle East.
But it was Canada's health system that peaked the crowd's interest. Clinton played to the crowd, returning to the health care topic before answering a question about AIDS.
He suggested the government set up a task force to examine whether other counties, including Germany, Norway and Denmark, were successful at integrating some privatization of health services.
"Surely there's somebody that's figured out how to solve this problem that bothers so many Canadians," said Clinton.
"I know there are problems with this system. But you can't imagine what it's like (for us)."
Peres had a more optimistic outlook on privatization - only for a much different application.
"Since we've privatized so many parts of our life, why not privatize peace as well," he said in his speech, suggesting that big business does a better job of thinking on a more integrated, global scale than governments do.
