"Nothing can beat the time, love, and the labor of love we give. It may not be an expensive gift, but its value will surely be priceless and remain in their hearts."

I organized a post mother's day and pre father's day celebration in our crib and called it PARENTS DAY. All couples and family relatives were there. The simple program I prepared with my cousins and the simple token of appreciation we offered touched all parents, especially the mothers. I thought, "When will I pay tribute and give thanks to them? It's like now or never". I make sure each day is a special day and let my parents know that I love them dearly. The party was a success because my parents cried with tears of joy. Blessed be.

Life is full of ups and downs. Otherwise it's going to be boring, isn't it?

"ALWAYS be happy for what you have, not sad for what you do not have."
Written in 2005 by Asad Shah --- United Kingdom
I wrote this quotation to help me get by each day. I have lost everything I have and am in terrible debt. It seems to me that I have nothing worth living for anymore. But then I remembered the things that cannot be taken away from me and mean the most to my life, my mother and father. This thought helps me get by each day.

"When you think that you are giving everything you have, hold out your other hand. If you do this, someone will do the same for you."

Sometimes we forget that we can help people as easily as reaching out and trying. Don't wait for someone to ask you. Step up and jump in. You never know whose life you can change.

"Never pity yourself when you have things out of control. The one who succeeds is one who fights it!"
Copyright © 2005 Heeral Kothari
I believe everyone has at some point things out of control: too much work and too little time or too much debts and too little income. The difference between those who win and lose is just those who pity and complain and those who try to make things happen under those constrains!

"Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, always walk in love."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Kourtney D. --- Indiana
The pastor of my youth group did a lesson on this. Always be nice to someone, even if they have less that you do. Always help someone out when you can. It helps whoever the person is, along with you. It's something I use daily.

Life, in retrospectt, must be considered thoughtfully
Not to dwell upon the negative nor the positive
But to prepare for the future
By making today how you wish to remember yesterday

"When you love someone, you tell them everything there is to know about you... the good and the bad. And then you let them decide if they will still choose to love you. If they do, then good for them. If not, then good for you."

"If you have been given the bowl and spoon, rest assured, as it is the nature's way of saying, 'We are going to serve you soon.'"
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Kishore Sohanda --- India
This quote was told me by one of my teachers in self-development. It means if we have desire for something in life, it means it will be fulfilled soon, as nature gives us desires only if they are to be fulfilled. So one must be happy and rest assured that if we are hungry, our hunger will be satisfied soon since we have been given the bowl and spoon of desire. Desire is bowl and spoon in which the desired things will be served soon. If it were not to be served, you would not have received the bowl and spoon (desire).

"I will live everyday as if I were living inside a photograph, because after all, no one ever takes pictures of the bad times!!"
