FW: A Poem that gives you goosebumps!

A Poem That Gives You Goosebumps...

A drunk man in an Oldsmobile

They said had run the light

That caused the six-car pileup

On 109 that night.

When broken bodies lay about
"And blood was everywhere,"
"The sirens screamed out eulogies,"
For death was in the air.
"A mother, trapped inside her car,"
Was heard above the noise;
Her plaintive plea near split the air:
"Oh, God, please spare my
boys!"
She fought to loose her pinned hands;
"She struggled to get free,"
But mangled metal held her fast

In grim captivity.
Her frightened eyes then focused
"On where the back seat once had been,"

But all she saw was broken glass and
Two children's seats crushed in.
Her twins were nowhere to be seen;
"She did not hear them cry, "
"And then she prayed they'd been thrown free, "
"Oh, God, don't let them die! "
Then firemen came and cut her loose,
"But when they searched the back, "
"They found therein no little boys, "
But the seat belts were intact.

They thought the woman had gone mad
"And was traveling alone, "
"But when they turned to question her, "
They discovered she was gone.
Policemen saw her running wild
And screaming above the noise
"In beseeching supplication, "
Please help me find my boys!
They're four years old and wear blue shirts;
"Their jeans are blue to match.""
"One cop spoke up, ""They're in my car, "
And they don't have a scratch.
They said their daddy put them there
"And gave them each a cone, "
Then told them both to wait for Mom
To come and take them home.
"I've searched the area high and low, "
But I can't find their dad.
"He must have fled the scene, "
"I guess, and that is very bad."
"The mother hugged the twins and said, "
"While wiping at a tear, "
"He could not flee the scene, you see, "
"For he's been dead a year."

"The cop just looked confused and asked, "
"Now, how can that be true? "
"The boys said, ""Mommy, Daddy came "
"And left a kiss for you."" "
He told us not to worry
"And that you would be all right, "
And then he put us in this car with
"The pretty, flashing light. "
"We wanted him to stay with us, "
"Because we miss him so, "
"But Mommy, he just hugged us tight "
And said he had to go.
He said someday we'd
understand
"And told us not to fuss, "
"And he said to tell you, Mommy, "
"He's watching over us."
The mother knew without a doubt
"That what they spoke was true, "
"For she recalled their dad's last words, "
" I will watch over you."
The firemen's notes could not explain
"The twisted, mangled car, "
And how the three of them escaped
Without a single scar.
"But on the cop's report was scribed, "

"In print so very fine, "
An angel walked the beat tonight on Highway 109.
"The 7 Second Prayer, Just repeat this phrase and see how God moves.
"Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless my
family, my home, my friends, and me. Amen. "

Qoutes



*If you love someone, put their name in a circle instead of a heart. Hearts can break, but circles go on forever*

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature
is that all of us tend to put off living.

We are all dreaming
of some magical rose garden over the horizon
instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming
outside our windows today.

Amaravati
, 10 January 2006 (www.tibet.net) - In a condolence
message to tThe wife of Heinrich Harrer, His Holiness the Dalai
Lama said, " I amextremely sorry to hear of the passing away of
my friend Heinrich Harrer.

I wish to convery you and your family members my deeply felt
condolence.I am particularly saddened because Heinrich Harrer
was a personal friend and taught me English, an Austrian English
teacher!

"When I first met him in 1949, he was from a world I was not familiar with.
I learned many things, particularly about Europe, from him."I want to take
this opportunity to express my immense gratitude and appreciation for
his creating so much awareness about Tibet and the Tibetan people
through his well-known book Seven Years in Tibet and the many lectures
he gave throughout his life. His love and respect for the Tibetan people are
clearly evident in his writtings and his talks".

"We feel we have lost a loyal friend from the West, who had the unique
opportunity to experience life in Tibet for seven long years before Tibet
lost its freedom. We Tibetans will always remember Heinrich Harrer and
will miss him greatly.

"My prayers are with you and your family."

His Holiness the Dalai Lama sent the condolence message on 10 January 2006
from Amaravati where he is currently giving the Kalachakra teachings to over
100,000 people.

WAHE GURU


Gur fateh and a very warm welcome to you Qshi ji to the LT family Discussion forum ji. U have raised a very good question ji.

"Sab te wada satgur Nanak ji kal rakhi meri", GGS page 750, M. 5

Es pankti da sahi ucharan es taran hai ji...

Sab te wada satgur(take a pause here), Nanak jin kal rakhi meri.

which means Nanak ji khende han ki sabh ton wada satgur hai(Universal Truth)- Gyan/intellect, jo meri rakheya karda hai i.e. Nanak ji says in humbleness that sabh ton vada sacha te sucha jeevan hai...jera meri vikaraan ton rakheya karda hai.

Truth is high, higher still is Truthful living.

Hope to get more thoughts from other members also...

Regards

God Will Provide...

There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat. He had an old shotgun and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go out and kill something for dinner.

As he went down the road, he saw a rabbit and he shot at the rabbit and missed it. Then he saw a squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel and missed it. As he went further, he saw a wild turkey in the tree and he had only one bullet, but a voice came to him and said "pray first, aim high and stay focused."

However, at the same time, he saw deer which was a better kill. He brought the gun down and aimed at the deer. But, then he saw a rattle snake between his legs about to bite him, so he naturally brought the gun down further to shoot the rattle snake.

Still, the voice said again to him, "I said 'pray, aim high and stay focused." So, the man decided to listen to the voice. He prayed, then aimed the gun high up in the tree and shot the wild turkey. The bullet bounced off the turkey and killed the deer. The handle fell off the gun and hit the snake in the head and killed it.

And, when the gun had gone off, it knocked him into a pond. When he stood to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a dead deer and a turkey to eat.

The snake (Satan) was dead simply because the man listened to God.

***Bottom line:

Pray first before you do anything, aim and shoot high in your goals, and stay focused on God. Pass this on in order that someone else might be blessed. Never let others discourage you concerning your past. The past is exactly that - " the past." Live every day one day at a time. And remember that only God knows our future and that he will not put you through any more than you can bear. Do not look to man for your blessings but look to the Lord. He can open doors for you that only He is able to do. Doors that you will not slip through but doors that only He has prepared in advance for you in your favor.

Wait, and be still, patient:
keep God first and everything else will follow

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

P.S. When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say,
"Waheguru, could you please get that for me?"

NAAM


Naam is the life-principle in all that lives,
Naam is the Creator of Heavens and nether lands,
Naam is the Manifester of all forms.

Naam is the sub-strata of all regions,

Naam is the liberator from all bondage.


**************************************

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.

She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"


"You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."

He said..... "Then I thank you from my heart." As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.


Year's later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.

Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.


He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.

She read these words.....

"Paid in full with one glass of milk"


(Signed)

Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed:
"Thank You, God, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."


Now you have two choices.

You can send this page on and spread a positive message.
Or ignore it and pretend it never touched your heart.

"Unleash the GOD in YOU"

We AQUARIANS ....WE ROCK AND RULE




I am an Aquarian and I have found the best Blog for kin like us it is : http://aquariandigest.blogspot.com/ it's the ultimate of its type and God Bless the Soul

Gift Ideas for Aquarians

If you're wondering what to give your favorite Aquarian for Christmas, here are some ideas from Aquarian Digest.

Aquarians are probably the least materialistic of all zodiac signs. In general they are the least likely to spend a lot of time in shopping malls - especially at Christmas. Many Aquarians pride themselves on being somewhat 'bohemian' and not towing to the mainstream consumer culture. But this doesn't mean Aquarians don't like gifts!

If your Aquarian female was born in February then Amethyst is her gemstone of choice. The funky earrings on the right are only two dollars on Amazon! The beautiful 14K gold amethyst drop earrings on the left are $39.00. Check out the amethyst birthstone selection at Amazon here (and also the garnet selection for January birthdays.)


Aquarius loves electronic gadgets more than most people in the general population. More than any other sign, Aquarians are the 'early adoptors' when it comes to new technology gadgets. They especially enjoy computers and any useful related accessories.

One Christmas gift idea could be a webcam. You can buy these for under $40 these days. They now also sell webcams specifically for hooking on to laptops, such as the one shown here. A webcam would probably make a great gift for an Aquarian who wants to see and hear friends or family who live far away. A webcam is also the type of gadget that would especially appeal to an Aquarian with an eight house or Scorpio emphasis in their charts.


Two more very popular items that may be much appreciated gifts for Aquarians would be a digital camera for taking photos of all their friends and posting them online, or one of the cool new iPods for their mobile listening pleasure while out jogging or practising their yoga asanas.



Other jewlery could also be a popular gift, especially for those Aquarians who have some Libra, Leo, Taurus or 2nd and 7th house secondary emphasis in their charts.

Check out some of the Aquarius-related jewelry ideas at Amazon.











Many Aquarians are also keen scrabble players. In fact, if they have some Gemini in their charts mixed with their Aquarian planets, they could be local scrabble champions. If you know your Aquarian enjoys Scrabble, this computer game may be just the ticket for a perfect (and cheap) gift.







Aquarians are an air sign and some Aquarians really enjoy flying kites. Just looking at kites reminds them of freedom. A gift of a kite to hang on their wall could be a cool gift and might be particularly appreciated by Aquarians who also have Virgo or sixth house prominent in their charts.

You can't go wrong with a gift of a book for the typical Aquarian, that is, if you know their preferred subject area very well. For those Aquarians that like to cook, The Barefoot Contessa is a bohemian and immensely popular cookbook. If your Aquarian enjoys good food (and also has some Cancer or Scorpio or 4th/8th house emphasis in their charts) they would probably love this book.

Other book ideas would include something in the internet marketing realm, for any Aquarian with a 9th house/Sagittarian emphasis. One of the bestsellers out there now is How to Buy, Sell and Profit on eBay.

Or, if your Aquarian is "all" Aquarius, they would very likely enjoy a good book on Yoga. The one shown here is written for intelligent people who want the best yoga facts.



For those Aquarians with a 12th house or Pisces emphasis, a great gift idea would be a classic book about Edgar Cayce. This book provides fascinating information for bed-time reading.

A Soul Touching Poem

EVEN THIS WILL PASS AWAY

Once in Persia reigned a king,

Who upon a signet ring?

Carved a maxim strange and wise,

When held before his eyes,

Gave him counsel at a glance,

Fit for every change and chance:

Solemn words and these they were they: -

“EVEN THIS WILL PASS AWAY.”

Trains of camel through the sand

Brought him gems from Samarcand,

Fleets of galleys over the seas

Brought him pearls to rival these,

But he counted little gain,

Treasures of the mine or main;

“What is Wealth?” the king would say

“EVEN THIS WILL PASS AWAY.”

Mid the pleasures of his court

At the zenith of their sport,

When the palms of all his guest

Burned with clapping at his jests,

Seated midst the figs and wine,

Said the king: “Ah, friends of mine,

Pleasure comes but not to stay,

“EVEN THIS WILL PASS AWAY.”

Woman, fairest ever seen

Was the bride he crowned as queen,

Whispering to his soul, he said

“Though no monarch ever pressed

Fairer bosom to his breast,

Mortal flesh is only clay.

“EVEN THIS WILL PASS AWAY.”

Fighting on the furious field,

Once a javelin pierced his shield,

Soldiers with a loud lament

Bore him bleeding to his tortured side,

“Pain is hard to bear,” he cried,

“EVEN THIS WILL PASS AWAY.”

Towering in a Public Square

Forty cubits in the air,

And the king disguised, unknown,

Gazed upon his sculptured name,

And he pondered, “What is fame?”

“Fame is but a slow decay!”

“EVEN THIS WILL PASS AWAY.”

Struck with palsy, sore and old,

Waiting at the gates of gold,

Said he with his dying breath

“Life is done, but what is Death?”

Then as answer to the king

Fell a sunbeam on his ring,

Showing by a heavenly ray,

“EVEN THIS WILL PASS AWAY.”

HEALTH TIPS

HEALTH TIPS

Know what to do when you have uncontrollable hiccups or headache. Stung by a bee….well no problem. Here's the solution. Read on.



Bad Breath
For bad breath carry a small bag of cloves, fennel, or anise seeds to chew - for nice smelling breathe at all times.


Toothache
Got an ache in your tooth? Dip a cotton swab in vanilla; scrub the tooth and gum area that's throbbing...and VIOLA! No more toothache! However NEVER substitute this for the dentist.


Treating Bee stings
  • Make a paste using Baking soda and water. Apply to area. It soothes, removes the pain and itch from the sting.
  • Rub a raw onion on a bee sting or mosquitos bite to sooth and take the itch away! Bumps
  • If your child falls and gets a bump on the forehead (or other body part), and won't let you apply ice: put little toothpaste over the area. It helps reduce the swelling.
  • Applying ice on the area is the long standing cure.
Hiccups
  • To stop hiccups, get a spoonful of sugar or a small packet (like you would use in a restaurant). Hold your head back and drop the sugar in. The hiccups will stop!
  • Take deep breath, breathe very slowly and evenly (kind of like you're meditating) in through your nose and out through your mouth. You will get relief.
  • Eat a whole clove to get rid of hiccups.
Soar Throat
For soar throat make fresh lemonade and warm it up and add honey. Helps your sore throat, tastes good and adds fluids to your diet.
Cough/cold
Take vapor rub and apply it on your child's or adult's feet all over and then put on a pair of socks. Your child won't cough for at least 8 hours.
Sun Burns
Use vinegar to soothe the sunburn. Tan Massage honey mixed with glycerin in equal proportions at night. Leave it on for 20 minutes and then wash with cold water.


Headache
Put your feet in a pail of ice. You will get instant relief.

Splinter Remover
  • If you have a splinter, use a strip of scotch tape and press the tape firmly on the splinter and pull off. This removes many splinters without pulling out the tweezers or needles.
  • If you do have to use tweezers or needles have the child soak the affected area in warm water for at least 10 minutes. This softens the skin area and makes it much easier to remove the splinter. Cool off Keep within ice chest moist washcloths or napkins along with the ice cooled food and drinks. Place that cloth over your head to cool off. You will feel relaxed.
