> MISSED BLESSINGS

>

> The man whispered, " God, speak to me " and a

> meadowlark sang. But the man did not hear.

>

> So the man yelled " God, speak to me " And, the thunder

> rolled across the sky. But, the man did not listen.

>

> The man looked around and said, " God let me see you. "

> And a star shined brightly. But the man did not notice.

>

> And, the man shouted, " God show me a miracle " And, a life was born..

> But, the man did not know.

>

> So, the man cried out in despair, " Touch me God, and

> let me know you are here " Whereupon, God reached down and touched the

> man.

> But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.

>

> Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that

> you expect.

> How true... how often I've ignored something that didn't seem to fit

> in my little world, only to find out later that it was one of the

> greatest gifts I could have had. I have to be open to everything that

> comes my way, because even the painful things that happen have a way

> of turning out to be tremendous learning experiences.

>

> Thank you for sending that to me!

> This came from ...

>

> One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried

> piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

> Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be

> covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He

> invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed

> a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey

> realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's

> amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer

> finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw. With

> every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something

> amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's

> neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would

> shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as

> the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!

>

> Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to

> getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of

> our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells

> just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step

> up!

>

> Remember the five simple rules! to be happy:

>

> 1. Free your heart from hatred.

> 2. Free your mind from worries.

> 3. Live simply.

> 4. Give more.

> 5. Expect less..
