                                     MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR GRACE

Make me a channel of your grace

where there is weariness let me bring strength,

where there is doubt let me bring hope,

where there is confusions let me bring solutions.

           Make me a channel o your grace

           where there is tension let me bring peace,

           where there is anxiety let me bring love,

           where there is worry let me bring comfort.

Make me a channel of your grace

where there is sadness let me bring happiness,

where there is ugliness let me bring beauty,

where there is difficulties let me bring answers.

             Make me a channel of your grace

             where there is disturbance let me bring soothing,

             where there is mourning let me bring consolation,

             where there is bewailing let me bring courage.

Grant me the GRACE to forget than forgiving

Grant me the GRACE to humble than stubborn

Grant me the GRACE to oblige than arguing

Grant me the GRACE to listen than speaking

Grant me the GRACE to give than receiving

             Because

                in forgetting , our mistakes are forgotten

                in humbling , our stubbornness is shaken

                in obliging,    our argument is silenced

                in listening,    our speaking is understood

               in giving,         our receiving is doubled.

MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR GRACE 

                                                    CLEANLINESS IS GODLINESS

                                                  God dwells in the midst of people who is with pure heart and clean hands. We are the temple of God where God resides with His mighty power.

                                                  Cleanliness is something very unique which is appreciated by everyone on this earth. At this Covid 19 pandemic we still more emphasize on cleanliness. Keeping ourselves clean will draw us towards satisfaction and keeping our surrounding clean will lead us towards transformation. 

                                                  We are very particular and prompt in keeping our holy places clean where we believe God dwells. Because we are well aware that God does not present in the places where ugliness and impurity prevail.

                                                  We need to reflect about the dwelling place of God. Yes, He is ever active and vibrant in our midst that is in our hearts. We are in need of maintaining our inner self from all impurities. 

                              When our mind is filled with unclean thoughts we voluntarily pollute our inner self.

                              When our words are dominating with unclean sentences we voluntarily pollute our inner self.

                              When our deeds are enveloped with unclean activities we voluntarily pollute our inner self.

Let us create our atmosphere with the virtue of cleanliness is Godliness.

Let us build up our society with the values of cleanliness is Godliness.

Let us establish in the world the motto of cleanliness is Godliness.

                                                           ADVENTUROUS SEEDS

                           There was a land owner who owned a very big land. It was around 5 acres. He tilled the land very well. He kept the land very fitting for sowing. He prepared the land thoroughly with good manure. He took care of the entire land with so much of love, care and affection. It was his life and everything for him. There was no partiality in preparing the land. He was quite satisfied with the preparation. He went with an in comparable excitement to buy seeds. With much effort he sowed the seeds all around. He waited very patiently with so much of expectation.

                              All the seeds under the earth had a discussion. Each one expressed   various opinions. One seed said, we shall do one thing. Some of us can go out to the world I mean above the soil, and study the situations and come back. Then we may decide about what should be done further. They all agreed. Four of them came forward to study the situations.

                              When they returned back, others were too excited to know their experience. One seed said, the outside world is really fantastic. Full of light, pleasant climate and I think better we may proceed there as early as possible.

                            The other seed said, I feel the outside world is quiet tough to live. Rain poured unexpectedly and it was so horrible. Better to be here comfortably.

                          The other seed said, I believe that we will have successful life if we live in the outside world.  Because, people are so kind and compassionate. They love to take care of us. You know, they have great passion for agriculture. We will have a healthy life.

                          The last one expressed, no, no it is very dangerous to be outside. I saw some of them were struggling to withstand in adverse climate. I overheard  that they had no immunity power. Why should we go and struggle over there? Let’s be here. It is safe  and secure .

                        Finally the seeds were divided into groups according to their interests and desires.

                          One group of seeds were stagnant. They were sitting deep under the soil not liking to come out. They had lot of fear to face sunlight, mingle with soil and consume water sufficiently. They never tried of giving up their weaknesses so called fear of facing challenges.

                        The other group peeped through the soil now and then. They were just roaming on the top layer of the ground. They were so scared to look at other saplings, birds, animals and human beings. They assumed that they were their enemies , they were encouraged by the other group to come up by motivating using different methods. But they couldn’t succeed.   

                    The other group of seeds started growing and became so worried when there was heavy wind. They simply gave up when they met heavy rain. They didn’t even try to withstand in the hot sun. They became tired easily.

                    Some of the seeds grew up very happily. They became so close with the soil. They had regular contact with sunlight. They were filled with water whenever they were in need of. They thanked all of them with so much of gratitude. As they faced all the experiences with courage and strength thereby they became so strong. They came forward to seek advice. They were very receptive in accepting all sorts of climate, various challenges and difficult situations.

                    They gave their best. They made use of every opportunity as the ladder of success. They became the model and example for all the seeds. The owner too became so thankful. He enjoyed the harvest. It was the outcome of those seeds who were so obliged and responsible.

                  Let those responsible, receptive and reinforcing seeds be our inspiration. Let the friendship nature of the seeds be our lesson. Let the learning experience of those seeds be our motive force. Let the humble nature of the seeds become our lifestyle.

                                                                FISH’S DAY OUT

                            Anand was the lover of fish. He had a passion to grow fish in his house. Therefore he owned number of fish tanks and innumerable fishes in it. He himself constructed beautiful fish tanks according to his taste and interest. He loved them very deeply. Fishes too were so close to him. He took care of them with so much of affection.

                         The arrangement for water, food and air was perfectly fine. Cleanliness was mind blowing. He loved to chat with them and they too responded very happily. He called them by name. His son too was attracted by them. He also spent time with them. They became his friends.

                        One of the fish Luji, was so cute and smart. He wanted to roam around not only in the fish tank but also outside the tank. He used to wait for the chance. Whenever Anand and other co-workers cleansed  all the fish tanks, Luji  used to roam around. For the first time Luji visited the garden. He became so excited and wanted to remain there itself. But Anand who knew each and every fish, found Luji and put him back in the tank. Once  Luji was found climbing on the staircase. Next time Luji visited the dining room. He climbed on the table and danced. Hid  himself under the chairs. Luji noticed Anand’s son opened the refrigerator and took the water bottle outside. Luji keenly observed the fridge. He thought water, air and food items are available here. Why should I live in the fish tank? Meanwhile Anand caught Luji and put him in the fish tank with the warning.

                     But Luji never worried about it and waited for the next chance. He shared his wonderful experience with the other fishes. He insisted them to join him next time. But they refused very prudently. One fine day Luji got the chance to come out of the tank. He rushed up to the dining room and waited there for someone to open the fridge. Anand’s son came and opened the refrigerator to have some fruits. Luji leaped into it very happily. Fridge was closed and Luji had no knowledge about it. He was busy looking at the things available in the fridge. Quiet satisfied. Looking at the water bottles he thought no worry for water. Seeing some smoke like appearance inside the fridge Luji thought no worry for breathing.

                Now Anand looked for Luji. He went to the garden, he was not there. He went into the kitchen and he wasn’t found. He looked at the dining room. No, he was not there. His son looked under the chairs but couldn’t find him. They really worried about him. Anand was so disappointed for giving so much freedom to Luji. He couldn’t concentrate in any other work. His only thought was about Luji, Luji and Luji.

              On the next day when Anand’s  son looked into the fridge hunting for chocolates he suddenly noticed Luji  was lying there without any movement. He screamed dad, dad, look at Luji.

             Our life on this earth is designed with the purpose. On the way to know the things sometimes we are trapped unnecessarily.  Where ever we are, let us try to prove our best.

                                                        MEET YOU FRIEND

                                            DREAM  COMES TRUE

                       A well known teacher Mrs. Sonam had informed her children in class five that dream comes true day will be celebrated day after tomorrow. All of you prepare well and express your dream through a fancy dress presentation. Try to depict well.  Wish you all the very best. Children too felt very much excited. As their teacher gave them a day for their preparation they reflected on it with the help of their parents.

                       On the day of dream comes true children performed in a marvelous way. One child said, I want to become a doctor. My big dream is to complete medicine and to become a well known doctor.

                      Another child said I want to become an Engineer. I wish to go abroad and complete my studies. Surely my dream will come true.

                      Another child performed I want to become an IAS officer. It is my great desire. I am very much confident and my dream will come true.

                      Another child said I want to become a pilot. I want to fly all over the world. My dreams will come true.

                    From that day onward their teacher started to refer their dream while calling them wishing their dream like Dr.Dev, Engineer Suresh, IAS officer Ravi… Teacher Rita and so on. And she wished them on their birthdays with the greeting of their dreams every year even though they left their school for higher studies. They all wanted to meet their teacher Sonam after 20  years. When they reached Mrs.Sonam’s house, they became stunned to see their teacher in her old age moreover she was not able to recognize them as she lost her sight. But her dealing with them was vibrant. They all went around her house. The entire house was filled with photos of all her students with the quote , dream comes true celebration along with the date and year.

                   Their words were insufficient to express their gratitude. They offered her a cheque with a notice our dreams came true and you are the master of our dreams. Their teacher said, if you want to thank me please open a  center in the name of dream comes true for all the children who have no one to support. 

                   You be the master of their dreams. So that you will be remembered one day as I had been in your life.  Never forget the people who help you to achieve your dream. Be grateful to your teachers for their kind nature of imparting knowledge. Salute them.

                                  MAY YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE

                                                       I  KNOW  THE  WAY

                           We were four friends. We were very supportive and encouraging. Loved to watch movie, play foot ball and visit different places. One day we decided  to  go for a match at night. But I had a mood to watch movie.

                           They were so strong in their decision and I don’t know, that day  I too was adamant in watching movie. I said let me alone proceed today but my friends insisted me to join them. I said it’s fine. Let me go alone and I know the way.

                          While watching movie at night in a theater, I missed the company of my friends and I came out. I started walking , walking and I missed the way. It was so dark and all the shops were closed. I had to catch the bus. I couldn’t trace out the way as I left my mobile at home. I walked further and noticed a man was coming on that way cycling. I stopped him and inquired how to go to bus stand. Bus stop! You are walking in a wrong direction. Where do you do want to go? I said the name of the bus stop. It is time already for the last bus to move. Come with me I will drop you. I was reluctant to get help from him. But I agreed his offer as I had no other option.

                            He asked me, are you sure to catch the last bus? I responded with a great  shock Why so? . The road he proceeded  also was not familiar. I looked at my gold chain and wallet. He turned towards a narrow lane. Where do you work? I replied. We reached in front  of  a house which had a door with a tin sheet. He knocked, one woman around twenty years young opened the door. He whispered something to her and told me to get in. I was so scared and entered in. The rooms inside the house looked like a lane. She walked through and stopped somewhere. And told me to get closer. ………..With so much of hesitation, I went near to her. She opened up another door and peeped through.

                          Hurry up, the last bus is about to start. Don’t delay. I rushed up and reached my home safely.     

                          I always believe that I know the way to bus stop, railway station, super market, holy places and air port. But after that experience I realized I don’t know the way perfectly specially when I’m confused, worried, disturbed and distressed.

                         Believing in our self is always good. But never try to go alone at night if it is avoidable. Try to extend your help when someone is in trouble. Your every help to the needy is a blessing and it will return to you in abundance. Wish you to have a healthy day. God bless.
