A CREED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SUFFERED

A CREED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SUFFERED

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey...

I asked for health, that I might do greater things
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things...

I asked for riches, that I might be happy
I was given poverty, that I might be wise...

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God...

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things...

I got nothing that I asked for -- but everything I had hoped for
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am among all men, most richly blessed!

Why are Human Rights important?

 
Why are Human Rights important?
If we are treated like a dog, what do we feel like?

Some people do not believe in God.  They believe their ancestors are monkeys.
But if someone says to their face that they are just like a monkey and that they act like a monkey, then what do they feel?

If someone says to you that "You are like God" What do you feel?
Are you upset or happy?

We are different with animals, because we are all God's children.

That why Human Rights are so important.

We should not live like animals, made to follow instincts.

We have to live as a God's children to listen and respect our conscience.

To find limitation

I have been baby sitting every other Saturday, and I am enjoying spending time with them.
They are a Chinese boy (9) and girl (7).

We went to a playground near my house.
A little black boy who seems to be 4 or 5 years old, kept saying to my boy and girl "Chinese Chinese ........"

My girl said to him "Stop it!"
My boy said to her "Just ignore him."
The second time when she said "Stop it!"
I could not ignore it anymore.

I said to him "Where is your parent?"
I heard from a bench "Yes I am his mother."

I said to her "He keeps saying Chinese Chinese, what kind of education are you giving?"
She was so upset and shouted at me.
"DO not attack me, I am not racist."
I could not talk any more and left.

Since I am Japanese, I usually could ignnore.
But I had to protect my children whom I was taking care of.
But I should talk more humbly and in a polite way.

Even if I speak Truth, it is judgment without love.
If I would attack, they will attack back.
I felt bad I couldn't set a good sample to my children.
Self control is not easy.
I appreciate that I found my limitation.

The law of attraction


Have you heard about the law of attraction?
If your spirit is negative, negative things will come to you.
If your spirit is positive, positive things will come to you.
This is why we have to use positive words and have a positive attitude.

I heard that a car's window had been broken and the owner did not fix it, then the car was more damaged and dirty
Because he did not fix the first problem. 
According to this law, we should not keep broken stuff in the house.
 Feng Shui said that broken stuff bring bad fortune.

I think we should keep only necessary things in our house.
That makes our life simple and easy.

Let's start spring cleaning!!

You're Not Alone ! !

We feel happy to live for sake of higher purpose.

Some people work so hard to pay bills and send their children to college.

After their children graduate college, the parents will feel empty in their mind thinking what is left of their life
 Some people in Japan have been standing up to help against the effect of Nuclear Power damages.

They are happy to offer their life sake for their country, Japan.

Do you think they feel pain?
No! They are happy to offer their life for more valuable things.
They will be proud of their life and they feel they are valuable.

God did not create people to live for sake of themselves.

We feel happy to live for sake of higher purpose.

People feel pain and misery when they live for sake of themselves.
People cannot feel happy to live a selfish way, because God did not create us that way.

I hope people can find God and live for a higher purpose.
