What is Confidence, Trust & Hope ?

CONFIDENCE:
Once all village people
decided to pray for rain. On
the day of prayer all people
gathered and only one boy came
with an umbrella...... that's
Confidence...

TRUST:
Trust should be like the
feeling of a one year old baby
when you throw him in the air;
he laughs.....because he knows
you will catch
him........ That's
Trust............

HOPE:
Every night we go to bed, we
have no assurance to get up
alive in the next morning but
still we have plans for the
coming day..........that's
Hope..........

KEEP CONFIDENCE!
TRUST OTHERS!
NEVER LOSE HOPE!
Keep Smiling....

I am Thankful...

I am thankful...for the husband who complains when his dinner
is not on time because he is home with me, not with someone else.

For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes
because that means she is at home & not on the streets.

For the taxes that I pay, because it means that I am employed.

For the mess to clean after a party, because it means
that I have been surrounded by friends.

For the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it
means I have enough to eat.

For my shadow that watches me work, because
it means I am out in the sunshine.

For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning,
and gutters that need fixing, because it means I have a home.

For all the complaining I hear about the government,
because it means that we have freedom of speech.

For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot,
because it means I am capable of walking and that I have
been blessed with transportation.

For my huge heating bill, because it means I am warm.

For the lady behind me in church that sings off key,
because it means that I can hear.

For the pile of laundry and ironing, because it
means I have clothes to wear.

For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day,
because it means I have been capable of working hard.

For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours,
because it means that I am alive.

And finally.......for too much e-mail, because it means
I have friends who are thinking of me.

How To Fake A Clean House

You’re single, overworked, and have no time to keep house clean. Weekends are too precious to be packed with chores. So, what happens when an unexpected visitor drops by? Here’s an attempt to a panic-driven fake clean-up in 20 minutes. Read on for the results.

The Countdown
20 minutes: Make a quick assessment of the degree of damage control required. Collect the mop and bucket, duster, an all-purpose cleaner spray and air-freshener.
19 minutes: Dart to the bathroom and dump all the dirty clothes into the washing machine. (Out of sight works great at times like these).
18 minutes: If the laundry bag is not empty, grab a garbage bag and put the rest of the clothes in it and shove it under the bed.
17 minutes: Run to the washbasin and quickly scrub it clean.
16 minutes: Take the mop and in rapid dance movements rid the floor of all assorted debris. Slap a wet mop in areas you think are grimier than usual. Take a page of newspaper and scrub the bathroom mirror. It will look clean enough.
15 minutes: Back to the wash room. Draw the shower curtain across the tube and put an array of disorganised toiletries in a bucket and the bucket in the tub, behind the curtain. Spray the bathroom with an air freshener.
14 minutes: Next, the kitchen. The sink is stacked with dirty dishes? Load them into the dishwasher. Make sure to close the kitchen door.
13 minutes: A quick peek into the fridge and all half eaten cans, open-mouthed baked bean jars and other stuff that usually is for your eyes should go into the garbage bag.
12 minutes: Put all the bottles and cans on the kitchen counter inside the fridge and then wipe the counter and sink.
11 minutes: Mop the kitchen floor and shove the floor mat under the cooking range. Cover the cooking range with fresh aluminum foil.
10 minutes: Quickly start the coffee machine. Spray another perfume.
9 minutes: Rush into the bedroom, collect all the clothes lying everywhere and push them under the bed too.
8 minutes: Get your colourful embroidered heirloom bed spread and it will work like a charm. Ensure the wardrobe doors are firmly shut.
7 minutes: Draw the bedroom curtains. Pile all the cosmetics on the vanity counter into an oversized trinket box.
6 minutes: Run into the living room to take a quick look. Gather all the books, magazines and newspapers, dump into another garbage bag and stuff them – yes, again – under the bed.
5 minutes: Collect all the CDs covers and the discs separated days ago and never reunited and push them into every possible drawer in the living room.
4 minutes: Dust the side board, the TV, the music system and all the other knick-knacks.
3 minutes: Plump the sofa and chairs and adjust all the cushions.
2 minutes: Is the floor very dirty and you have no time to clean it? Quickly spread a rug over it and sweep everything underneath.
1 minute: Look at yourself in the mirror. Didn’t like what you see? With soap on your face and hair in a pony tail, open the door to greet your long-lost friend.
