                                Live this time and love its miracles.
                                Live this moment and love its suspense.

                                                 Live this morning and love its gifts.
                                                 Live this noon and love its mysteries.
                                                 Live this evening and love its surprises.
                                                 Live this night and love its secrets.
                       
                                                            LIVE IT LOVE IT

                                Be strong enough is an unique challenge for me and you. It challenges not to be strong physically, mentally and psychologically. Rather it challenges to be strong spiritually.
                                A person may follow different religions but the faith which unites him with the world is spirituality. Allow me to take you to see the other phase of life.

              I believe that I’m strong when I feel worthy of myself  in the midst of difficulties..                                I believe that I’m strong when I walk away from what is not good for me.
              I believe that I’m strong when I move away from the things which disfigure my personality.                I believe that I’m strong when I reject to respond people who are not genuine.
              I believe that I’m strong when I patiently wait for the chances to improve myself.

                         A person is very strong when he stands for his own values and respect his                                          identity.  Thereby he becomes spiritually strong to embrace this world 
                                with positive aspirations.
                                       
                                                    BE STRONG ENOUGH.

                                              AWARENESS,  ATTITUDE  AND  ACTION

                                            Awareness, attitude and action are the three key words for a successful life.

     Awareness is like your mother who strengthens you when you know your limitations.
     Awareness is like your mother who moulds you when you are unable to identify yourself.
                    Attitude is like your father who creates a beautiful atmosphere when you are down.
                    Attitude is like your father who develops a healthy surrounding when you are helpless.
    Action is like your friend who pushes you to stand up in troubles.
    Action is like your friend who ushers you to stay alive always. 

                                          Before you become efficient in all these awareness, attitude and action have a regular contact with your mother, father and good friends. They are the one who know you better especially in the time of tragedies. They love you in all circumstances. They are the one who wish you to have a peaceful life. They want to see you ever with a smiling face. Take an effort to talk to them today.

                                          Every Christmas arrives with an innovative invitation. It invites us to celebrate the birthday of our beloved Jesus in a trustworthy manner. We are really glad to part take in this beautiful celebration. As we enter into this second week of advent may we take the pleasure of dispelling darkness from within. God the cheerful giver of life and love, we love you for your abundant blessings upon us. Thank you for creating us in a marvelous way. Your presence is our pleasure and your love is our treasure. With hearts full of joy and happiness we praise you through this Bhajan.
                                    

                                          Advent is the time of receiving graces more and more. Jesus is the light of the world. He brought light and invite us to live in light. When Jesus is with us we have no reason to live in darkness. He gives the assurance of hope, the hope of new life. He promises the beautiful gift of hope, the hope of transformed life. He unfolds the heavenly hope, the hope of eternal bliss. He reveals the unchanging hope, the hope of radical changes. With this hope we started the advent season.

                                          When we are in the light, we have more reason to live. When we are with the light we have every reason to be happy. When we are for the light we have many reasons to serve our Lord. Joining with our mother church and with every member who entered into this gracious season of advent let us light up the second candle, the candle which symbolizes love, which radiates love and which transmits love.

Hymn:

                                          Psalm122  Let us take turn to recite this psalm. Let our response be I rejoiced when I heard them say: ‘Let us go to God’s house”. We shall pass for a while in cherishing the beauty of God’s house.
                                        ‘ Love I give you and you build a world of love’ is the spiritual message of this second week of advent. May love be the mother of all our interactions. May love be the friend in all the situations. May love be the companion when we step into a new venture. May love be the part taker in our undertakings. May love be the lover of us all. With our hearts full of love let us join in this hymn.
Hymn:
                                         God our solace and comfort we entrust our entire being to your loving care and protection. Travel along with us as we prepare ourselves for your sons birthday. En kindle us when our hearts are in trouble. Above all allow us not to be astrayed from your divine protection. Bless our nation, our church and our community that we may all walk in the path of divine love. Shower your graces upon our Christmas friends. Let your guiding spirit be upon all those who are preparing for this Christmas celebration.We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
                                         

                                          Hold on before you enter into this new day. Smile at it because it is going to entertain you in an unique way.
                                          Hold on before you speak something. Breathe at it because it is going to channelize you in a right way.
                                          Hold on before you express your anger. Swallow it because it is going to cool you down.
                                          Hold on before you promise to someone. Pass a while because it is going to prepare you in an appropriate manner.
                                          Hold on before you let out your emotion. Wait a minute because it is going to create a healthy atmosphere.

                                          Just hold on. God is preparing you for something great.

                                            People do worry about ups and downs in their life journey. Some are really tensed to face challenges. Please do remember that those ups and downs made you enlightened. You discovered a new lesson and you understood the another phase of life.

                                            Of course our worries and confusions are just like the holes and emptiness of the flute. If you, yes if you work on it you will perform miracles. Rely on your inner strength and will power.
                                            Lessons written in the book of your life are not new to you. But this day is brand new for you.
                                                Create your magical melody today.

                                                                 LOVE YOURSELF

                                      Love makes everything perfect and creative. It enables you to see everything positively. It values every effort taken and offered. It acts on a right time. It brings good people around you. It makes everything possible.

                                      Holding love on our eyes let us see the world today.
                                      Carrying love on our hearts let us feel the world.
                                     
                                    This love will enhance us to enjoy the best things in our life. Strive to look beyond our dreams. Love yourself is the aim of my life today.
                                        
                                       

                             
                                 What is the purpose of your life? Whatever may be your answer believe that yours is the best reply. Because you answered from within. You neither copied nor imitated. You need to just strengthen your passion. When your passion is strong enough nothing yes, nothing will stop you.
                             
                                    Let your passion lead you not your decision.
                                    Let your heart lead you not your thought.
                                    Let your walk lead you not your talk. 
                                    Let your friend lead you not your trend.
                                

                                                       HAPPENS FOR THE BEST

                                  Once an old student wanted to meet his class teacher. When he met the teacher, asked him, sir do you recognize me? Replied sir, I’m sorry, I don’t recognize you. Sir, you taught me when I was in class eight. You were not only my teacher but  my inspiration for ever.
                                 Sir, I was not at all ease with your subject. I developed an ill feeling towards the subject which made me to hate you. My aversion was to that level, I started to trouble you. As I wanted to see you upset, I decided to steal the lunch box of my classmates. I was truly successful in stealing regularly but not in irritating you. You were so kind to the students who lost their lunch box and helped to get meals. I kept on continuing but you had never been disturbed.
                                  To my great surprise I happened to see you one day at  bus stop after the school hour. You stood for a long time not for the bus but due to no money in your hand. I cried very bitterly.
                                  Sir, why didn’t you try to punish me?  Did you ever get annoy with your students?

                                  My dear son, I have a great regard for my life on this earth and I believe each and everyday I learn a lot. I do learn not simply from books but from every echo of my inner voice. I trust my students and I relate with them patiently that I don’t miss learning. I handle everyone with care that their hearts are not broken. As I never give chance to myself to be irritated, people around me stop harming and in fact they start transforming themselves. Because I believe
                   
                                               whatever happens is for the best
