Marriage Is A School



Marriage is a school where you get the certificate before you start.

A school where you will never graduate.

A school without a break or a free period.

A school where no one is allowed to drop out.

A school which you will have to attend every day of your life.

A school where there is no sick leave or holidays.

A school founded by God:
1.On the foundation of love.
2.The walls made of trust.
3.The door made of acceptance.
4.The windows made of understanding.
5.The furniture made of blessings.
6.The roof made of faith.

Before you forget, you are just a student not the principal. The Almighty is the principal.

Even at times of a storm, don't be unwise and run outside.

Remember this school is the safest place to be.

Never go to sleep before completing your assignments for the day.

Never forget the C-word, communicate, communicate, communicate with your classmate and with the Principal.

If you find something in your classmate (spouse) that you do not appreciate, remember your classmate is also just a student not a graduate. The Almighty is not finished with him/her yet, so take it as a challenge and work on it together.

Do not forget to study, study, study the Noble Book (the main textbook in this school).

Start each day with a sacred assembly and end it the same way.

Sometimes you will feel like not attending class, yet you have to.

When tempted to quit find the courage and continue.

Some tests and exams may be tough but remember the Principal knows how much you can bear.

Still, it is one of the best schools on earth; joy, peace and happiness accompany each lesson of the day.

Different subjects are offered in this school, yet love is the major subject.

After all the years of being theoretical about it, now you have a chance to practice it.

To be loved is a good thing, but to love is the greatest privilege of them all.

Marriage is a place of love, so love your spouse but remember: "This class doesn't involve a person who is not permitted into it"! If you invite your mother or father or your friends to this class, or anyone who is not allowed to be there, you will fail the exam.

It is you who should attend and it is you who will pass.

Its your choice today: "Build it or Break it"

May the Almighty bless us all. Amen

Its Not Always How It Looks




Two Angels were on a long journey and decided to rest when they got tired. They stopped at a rich man's house to rest, they were given a bad hospitality and sent to the basement to spend their night.
At night, the older Angel repaired the broken walls in the basement, and younger one didn't like it. The next day, they continued their journey, they happened to rest again, but this time it was in a poor man's house who was a farmer, they rested in. But this time, they enjoyed the hospitality and was given a better place to sleep.
At night the farmer's cattle died and the farmer wept bitterly. But this confused the younger Angel as He asked; "Its quite unfair that the man who didn't welcome us properly you repaired the holes in his basement and now you didn't do anything about this man's cattle who treated us well." To this the older Angel answered;
"Its not always how it looks. I sealed the walls in the rich man's basement where he stored his wealth, he can't reach them anymore. But in the farmer's house, the Angel of Death came in the night to wipe the entire family and I diverted it to the cattle." 
...... 
In every bad situation, just believe that God has prevented a worse situation.
....... 
I know, why didn't He prevent it with a good situation, could be your question.
...... 
But my question is, "How would He know the size of our Faith in Him, if we are not tested?"

Hope Your Weekend Was Blissful? Have a lovely week ahead!

Here & There



The fact that you are "HERE" (where you are now) is a proof that you will get "THERE" (where you aspire to be). The only difference between "HERE" & "THERE" is the "T" which stands For "TIME".

Just persevere and you'll get THERE...

Love and Marriage

A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back.

But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."


The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later.

Then he saw another bigger one... But may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him.

Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he start to realize that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knows he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.

So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.


The teacher told him, "...this is love... You keep looking for a better one, but when later you realize, you have already miss the person...."

*"What is marriage then?" the student asked.


The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfied, and came back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, "this time you have brought back a corn.... You looked for the one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe that this is the best one you can get.... This is marriage."

You can never know what will happen in marriage...it takes the grace of GOD to accept someone with all your heart!

The Power Of Faith: True Life Story


There was a couple who had waited for a child for 12 years. On the twelfth year, they were blessed with a bouncing baby boy. There was so much rejoicing and celebration in their family, from friends and well wishers. On the day of baptism of the child, the child suddenly stop breathing. After some first aid and other checks were done by medical professionals present, the baby was certified dead. The woman didn't shed tears or lament while others were doing so but instead took the child to the Blessed Sacrament Chapel and told God to take the child he gave her that he's dead. She dropped him gently and was walking out of the Chapel when she heard the child crying and turned back to see he was alive. There was so much rejoicing and the baptism went on as well planned and the child is doing very well.

Do you have faith? Nothing is impossible with God.

Have a lovely week peeps and believe.

Values Of Love And Care



The passengers on the bus watched sympathetically as the attractive young woman with the white cane made her way carefully up the steps. 

She paid the driver and, using her hands to feel the location of the seats, walked down the aisle and found the seat he'd told her was empty. Then she's settled in, placed her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg.

It had been a year since Susan became blind. Due to a medical misdiagnosis she had been rendered sightless, and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger,frustration and self-pity. 'How could this have happened to me?' she would plead, her heart knotted with anger. But no matter how much she cried or ranted or prayed, she knew the painful truth, her sight was never going to return. A cloud of depression hung over Susan's once optimistic spirit. All she had to cling to was her husband Mark.

Mark was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all his heart. When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair and was determined to help his wife gain the strength she needed to become independent again.

Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus, but was now too frightened to get around the city by herself. Mark volunteered to drive her to work each day, even though they worked at opposite ends of the city. At first, this comforted Susan and fulfilled Mark's need to protect his sightless wife who was so insecure about performing the slightest task.

Soon, however Mark realized that this arrangement wasn't working - it was hectic, and costly.

Susan is going to have to start taking the bus again, he admitted to himself. But just the thought of mentioning it toher made him cringe. She was still so fragile, so angry. How would she react? Just as Mark predicted, Susan was horrified at the idea of taking the bus again. "I'm blind!" she responded bitterly. "How am I supposed to know where I'm going? I feel like you're abandoning me."

Mark's heart broke but he knew what had to be done. He promised Susan that each day he would ride the bus with her until she got the hang of it.

And that is exactly what happened. For two solid weeks, Mark, military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day. He taught her how to rely on her other senses to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat. Each morning they made the journey together, and Mark would take a cab back to his office.

Although this routine was even more costly and exhausting than the previous one, Mark knew it was only a matter of time before Susan would be able to ride the bus onher own. Finally, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived, and before she left, she threw her arms around Mark, her temporary bus riding companion, her husband, and her best friend. Her eyes filled with tears of gratitude for his loyalty, his patience, his love. She said good-bye, and for the first time, they went their separate ways. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.... Each day on her own went perfectly, and Susan had never felt better.

On Friday morning, Susantook the bus to work as usual. As she was paying for her fare to exit the bus, the driver said,"Boy, I sure envy you." Susan wasn't sure if the driver was speaking to her or not. After all, who on earth would ever envya blind woman who had struggled just to find the courage to live for the past year? "Why do you envy me?"

The driver responded, "It must feel so good to be taken care of and protected like you are." Susan had no idea what the driver was talking about, "What do you mean?" The driver said,"You know, every morning for the past week, a fine looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the corner watching you whenyou get off the bus. He makes sure you cross thestreet safely and he watches you until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a little salute and walks away. You are one lucky lady."

Tears of happiness poured down Susan's cheeks. For although she couldn't see him, she had always felt Mark's presence. She was blessed, so blessed, for he had given her a gift more powerful than sight, a gift she didn't need to see to believe - the gift of love that can bring light where there had been darkness.

"You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her..."
