THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Posted by randallbutisingh on February 2, 2008

FREEDOM

Freedom is a journey with others and for others towards God’s future. Freedom can never be defined once and for all. Freedom defined is freedom no longer, because it always transcends all definitions or concepts. It can be experienced and celebrated only as it breaks into our lives as new awareness of hope in God’s future and new confidence in the growing ability to experience and share love with others.

TODAY - The Best Day of My Life

Posted by randallbutisingh on December 14, 2007

 Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life, ever

There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today; but I did!
And because I did I’m going to celebrate!
Today, I’m going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make me stronger.

I will go through this day with my head held high and a happy heart.
I will marvel at God’s seemingly simple gifts:


The morning dew,

The sun,


The clouds,
The trees,



The flowers,

 

The birds.

Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my notice
Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people.
I’ll make someone smile.
I’ll go out of my way to perform an unexpected act of kindness for someone I don’t even know. Today, I’ll give a sincere compliment to someone who seems down. I’ll tell a child how special he is, and I’ll tell someone I love just how deeply I care for them and how much they mean to me.

Today is the day I quit worrying about what I don’t have and start being grateful for all the wonderful things God has already given me. I’ll remember that to worry is just a waste of time because my faith in God and his Divine Plan ensures everything will be just fine.

And tonight, before I go to bed, I’ll go outside and raise my eyes to the heavens. I will stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the moon, and I will praise God for these magnificent treasures.

As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow,
I will thank the Almighty for the best day of my life.
And I will sleep the sleep of a contented child,
Excited with expectation because
I know tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life, ever!

I NEEDED TO RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE TODAY!

Do you know of others who might be waiting to receive it from you?

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Let nothing upset you,
Let nothing frighten you,
Everything is changing;
God alone is changeless.

Patience attains the goal
Who has God lacks nothing;
God alone fills all needs.

Saint Teresa of Avila.

HAIKU

Posted by randallbutisingh on November 25, 2007

HAIKU
(a form of Japanese Poetry of seventeen syllables in three lines of 5, 7, and 5 respectively.)

The rubicund dawn
peeped through the curtain of night
putting stars to flight.

Night scattered her pearls
on the lap of sleeping earth
Day snatched all away.

The little flower
opened at the sun’s kiss
inviting the bee.

The yellow daisies
colour the earth’s green carpet
restraining the feet.

Birds twitter and sing
heralding the morning light
Nature’s alarm clocks.

Sweetest solitude
haven for the creative mind
abode of the Muse.

The best school is LI FE
The best teacher is EXPERIENCE
The best book is NATURE
The best temple is the HEART
The best friend is GOD
