Prayer for Day 24
Dear Lord, Please bring your peace and help me out of this

It is true that some people do not deserve respect or kindness, but we fail to realise that when we treat people the best way we know how to, it moulds us into the best person we can be.

Even as my fingers typed out the creation of this phrase, I could not help but think that perhaps there is a little element of selfishness in there, that it is due to our urge to increase our self worth that we do good. Isnt there a hint of hypocratic irony? But as I paused to deliberate, I realised that we should try to treat people well whether or not it is deserving, and it does mould us into the best person, because in that road in moulding, we learn the art of selflessness and simply know how to give. So let's all learn.

A Scorpion Moment
by: Author Unknown, Source Unknown

There was this Hindu who saw a scorpion floundering around in the water. He decided to save it by stretching out his finger, but the scorpion stung him. The man still tried to get the scorpion out of the water, but the scorpion stung him again.

A man nearby told him to stop saving the scorpion that kept stinging him.

But the Hindu said: "It is the nature of the scorpion to sting. It is my nature to love. Why should I give up my nature to love just because it is the nature of the scorpion to sting?"

Don't give up loving.
Don't give up your goodness.
Even if people around you sting.

Edwin McCain "Could not ask for more". Lyrics and music dedicated to You...
Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything to me

These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I have's come true
And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me

These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've got all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
