Endless hope and hopeless end

Twenty-one-year-old Matthew had been homeless for three years – sleeping rough on the streets of London. Mark Russell (who was appointed head of the Church Army while still in his twenties) met him on the streets of Charing Cross in London, bought him some food and led him to Christ.

As he was getting up to leave he said, ‘Matthew, over the next month I am going to be on platforms speaking to thousands of people. One of the sessions I’m going to be speaking at is the whole General Synod about mission... what piece of advice do you want me to give to the Church of England today?’

Matthew replied, ‘The church’s job is to stop arguing and to bring people hope.’

Mark Russell commented, ‘I have never heard a better definition of what we should be about: “Stop arguing about all kinds of stuff and bring hope.” Don’t we have a gospel of hope? A gospel that brings hope? A gospel of life, a gospel of transformation, a gospel of joy and a gospel of grace, and above all a hope of eternal life, the hope of Jesus.’ Many people see only a hopeless end; but with Jesus you can enjoy an endless hope.

Hope is one of the three great theological virtues – the others being love and faith. As Raniero Cantalamessa writes, ‘They are like three sisters. Two of them are grown and the other is a small child. They go forward together hand in hand with the child hope in the middle. Looking at them it would seem that the bigger ones are pulling the child, but it is the other way around; it is the little girl who is pulling the two bigger ones. It is hope that pulls faith and love. Without hope everything would stop.’

walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a-lone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Being human

They always keep us on a pedestal by having great expectations from us - of understanding football, cricket , going out clubbing yet being the demure petite 'bahu' at all the family dos and being absolute devils in bed!   

2. Once they love us they cannot delete us from their systems although our loyalties might keep switching between our fathers, boyfriends, husbands and sons all our lives!

3. He tries his best to surprise us although his surprise might put us in an absolute state of shock!

4. Though most of us feel that men can very rarely be as sensitive as us, it's just we on the contrary who need to understand that their ways of being sensitive are manly else they'd be just like us and oh wouldn't that make the world so boring?

5. They can really hold secrets and even forget them conveniently! Don't expect him to remember the colleague you bitched about the other day to him!

6.  He might never be our 'best friend' but in spite of being impatient and short tempered with the world around he really tries to be a patient listener.

7. He might not be the 'knight in shining armor' out of our dreams but he can pamper us with all his love.

8. They are babies at heart, they respect us, can't do without us but will never admit it or praise women!

9. They are born loyal- ever heard a man who forgets his ma-ke-haath-ka-khaana?

10. They always want to be heroic, no matter where they are in spite of all their flaws just to impress us women!

Cheers to such men - who wear chivalry on their sleeves and possess the innocent heart of a child all their lives!

Meaning of life

The meaning of life, or the answer to the question "What is the meaning of life?", pertains to the significance of living or existence in general. Many other related questions include "Why are we here?", "What is life all about?", and "What is the purpose of existence?" or even "Does life exist at all?" There have been a large number of proposed answers to these questions from many different cultural and ideological backgrounds. The search for life's meaning has produced much philosophical, scientific, theological, and metaphysical speculation throughout history. Different people and cultures believe different things for the answer to this question.

The meaning of life as we perceive it is derived from philosophical and religious contemplation of, and scientific inquiries about existence, social ties, consciousness, and happiness. Many other issues are also involved, such as symbolic meaning, ontology, value, purpose, ethics, good and evil, free will, the existence of one or multiple gods, conceptions of God, the soul, and the afterlife. Scientific contributions focus primarily on describing related empirical facts about the universe, exploring the context and parameters concerning the "how" of life. Science also studies and can provide recommendations for the pursuit of well-being and a related conception of morality. An alternative, humanistic approach poses the question, "What is the meaning of my life?"

Thankful to the person........

If someone comes into your life and has a positive impact on you, but for some reason they can’t stay, be thankful that your paths crossed and that they somehow made you happy, even if it was just for a short while. Life is change. People really do come and go. Some come back, some don’t, and that’s okay. And just because one person leaves, doesn’t mean you should forget about everyone else who’s still standing by your side. Continue to appreciate what you have, and smile about the memories.
