Never take love for granted

It is normally the unspoken love but revealed with action has the greatest impact……..believe me.

A very poor man lived with his wife.

One day, his wife, who had very long hair asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed.

The man felt very sorry and said no.

He explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken.

She did not insist on her request.

The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife.

He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to his wife.

He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very short haircut.

She had sold her hair and was holding a new watch band.

Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.

MORAL:

To love is nothing, to be loved is something but to love and to be loved by the one you love, that is EVERYTHING.

Never take love for granted.

F and J keys on your keyboard

Now feel the F and J keys on your keyboard. Compare them with other keys. Do
you notice or feel that they are different from the other keys? On all
laptop keyboards(QWERTY) there are some ridges on the F and J buttons, what
are they for? Answer: The bumps or ridges found on the F and J keys on
the keyboard helps users correctly position their left and right hand on
the keyboard without having to look at it. For example, without looking at
the keyboard you can easily position your left index finger on the F and
the right index finger on the J, which then positions all the remainder of
your fingers in the correct position. People who touch-type (type without
looking) use these two ridges to determine the position of
their fingers on the keyboard.

Absolutely hilarious! +3 karma to you.

Excellent warning signs….

Genie…..

An Arab had spent many days crossing the desert without finding a source of water.

It got so bad that his camel died of thirst.

He crawled through the sands, certain that he was breathing his last breath, when suddenly, he saw a shiny object sticking out of the sand several yards ahead of him.

He crawled to the object, pulled it out of the sand, and discovered that he had a Manischewitz wine bottle.

It appeared that there may be a drop or two left in the bottle, so he unscrewed the top, and out popped a genie.

BUT this was no ordinary genie.

This genie appeared to be a Chasidic Rabbi, complete with black alpaca coat, black hat, side curls, and tzitzis.

‘Vell kid,’ said the genie, ‘you know how it voiks. You got three vishes.’

’I’m not going to trust you,’ says the Arab. ’I’m not going to trust a Jewish genie!’

’Vott’ya you got to lose? Looks ta me – you’re a gonner anyvay!’

The Arab thought about this for a minute, and decided that the genie was right. ‘Okay, I wish I were in a lush oasis, with plentiful food and drink.’

• * * * * * * P O O F * * * * * * * * *

The Arab found himself in the most beautiful oasis he had ever seen and he was surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.

‘Okee-dokee kiddo, vat’s your second vish?’

‘My second wish is that I were rich beyond my wildest dreams.’

• * * * * * * P O O F * * * * * * * * *

The Arab found himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare old coins and precious gems.

‘Okay kid, you got just vone more vish. Better you should make it a good vone!’

After thinking for a few minutes, the Arab says, ‘I wish that no matter where I go, beautiful women will always need and want me!’

• * * * * * * P O O F * * * * * * * * *

He was turned into a Tampon.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY:

If you’re doing business, there’s going to be a string attached.

Need a little “pick-me-up" today?

This will do it.

The last one will leave you laughing, too.

These are great!

God’s accuracy – the facts

=========

How great is our God!!!
Our Creator and Redeemer . . . and do we even THINK about it???
God’s accuracy may even be observed in the hatching of eggs. . . . .

For example:
-The eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;
-Those of the canary in 14 days;
-Those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;
-The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;
-Those of the mallard in 35 days;
-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days. (Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!)

God’s wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant.
The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other quadruped is so made.
God planned that this animal would have a huge body, too large to live on two legs.
For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily.

The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first.
A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first.
How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation!

God’s wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections and segments, as well as in the number of grains.
-Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind.
-Each orange has an even number of segments.
-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
-Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
-Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the next row an odd number.

-The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather.

-All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks,
And the Lord specified thirty-fold, sixty-fold, and a hundred-fold all even numbers.

God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during the day.
Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said that if he had a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and those that were closed!

*The lives of each of you may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way for His glory,
If you will only entrust Him with your life.
If you try to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure.
Only the One Who made the brain and the heart can successfully guide them to a profitable end.

I hope you find this as fascinating as I did.

“Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil – it has no point.”*
