WISE COUNSEL ... THE FIGHT BETWEEN THE HIPPO AND THE ELEPHANT





1 PETER 03 ; 11

For, whoever would love life and good days, must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.He must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.



            A story is told of a monkey who clapped it's hands as it watched the elephant and the hippo fighting. One of the legs of the hippo was eventually broken. After a while the owner of the animals brought in a medicine man to see to the leg of the hippo.

          The medicine man said he needed the veins of the monkey to prepare the medicine. When the monkey was caught and told the reason, it's sadly said, " I would have reconciled them if i had known the conflict would affect me


         But sadly it was too late for the monkey.




     MORAL LESSON

      Let us all be part of the positive solution.
     Every crisis you see or hear about, close or far away will one day  affect you too.
    
 Use your opportunities well. You may also cry one day if you don't help today.

For this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves….. 1 peter 3; 3-5a B eautifu l. It’s a powerful word, one not thrown around as frivolously as hot, pretty or any of the hundreds of words we’ve come to describe women, debasing their worth to nothing more than the symmetry of their face and the fullness of their lips. It’s a word that holds power and prestige far beyond that of any other adjective. It’s a sacred word, one kept for those who truly can’t be described any other way. It’s a word that chases women to plastic surgery and extreme diets. It’s the base of all women’s desires and lifelong struggles. But isn’t beautiful about so much more than looks? Isn’t it in that ex...

THE SAD STORY OF THE FOUR CANDLES

                      ROMANS 05 ; 03 - 04 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation brings patient, and patient brings experience, and experience also brings hope.                  One evening, four candles were burning slowly whiles having a conversation. The ambiance was so soft one could almost hear them talking.                                               The first candle said; i am PEACE but the world is full of anger and fighting, and nobody wants to keep me lit, and slowly it cried and went off.                                                             ...
