Thought Of The Day

It is 7 in the morning I am watching from my Bedroom window Mist everywhere I see three trees lined up by the side of my front yard One very tall green tree I think more than 20 feet the other green tree not so tall the center one lost most of the leaves just a skeleton like an old member of the house In the center is Solo tree with bright yellow leaves some orange too standing with great confidence with strong roots it's branches and leaves spreading and covering nearly the whole of the front yard area This solo tree looks to me a highly educated member of my front yard family a very cultured  and stylish  well composed who is living an artistic and polished life style It's body is very strong but slender I think he is strongly following the Diet plan and goes to Gym to build muscles and to keep body in shape Anyhow I am very much impressed and try to behave myself  while passing by this tree who doesn't c...

It was night time I was going with my son to pick my grandson from Hockey game it was cloudy so was pitch black We were passing through the street lined both sides with trees it was a two track highway so trees looked like not so far away I opened my window to smell and to breathe in real fresh air I was lucky I smelled a very strong odor sure skunk must be around somewhere here It gave me very different feeling feeling of passing through the Real Woods trees were very quiet may be already asleep Stillness all around so calm so peaceful wind also moving with caution making sure not to stir and  disturb the serene atmosphere  We see different shades of Nature  this is a Solemn one not the Joyous mood of the Morning God is Gracious to provide us a variety of taste and flavor and also vibrant scenic views to behold and enjoy and be Thankful

In the  morning I was waiting for Bus # 120 just two days back it was 28 and sunny I had to take shelter behind the electric pole from the scorching Sun In Canada sun rays come direct because of Ozone Hole and it is burning and uncomfortable in hot summer days It is 19 and cloudy today so I am taking the shelter behind that electric pole to escape the wind and cold weather How quickly things change same like our Life  Kids grow so fast finish their schooling and Nest is empty We have to value each and every Moment to drain it out to our utmost satisfaction What goes around comes around but I think not true for everything like our age which moves on We have to celebrate whatever time left and use it with our full capacity by using all the means we have in our power so let us Celebrate Our Today

God provides a blank check rather cash of 24 hours guaranteed income throughout our life to All his Creatures Big and Small  rich and poor young and old without differentiating between any cast and creed  He just Top Up our Account without checking where we spent what we did with our money It is our Current Lifetime Account which never dries up We can spend on our own way it is our Day Balance Sheet What a Great Provider are You My Lord I try to thank you as much as possible I know it is never be enough and can never be enough To my own satisfaction I started a new way  to say thank You when I get down or walking up stairs  I say thank God on every step of stairs it doesn't balance anything I mean Everything which I am getting from My Lord I t is just I am trying to top up my Thank You to my Lord My Creator My Almighty God You are Great  beyond our imagination We can never pay you in any way
