Can I borrow $25.00

I am not the author of this writing, my aunt sent this to me in a e-mail and I thought it was so nice I wanted to share it with you all just in time for Fathers Day.

Can I Borrow $25?

Can I borrow $25?
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year
Old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'
DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.
SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'That's n one of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the
Man said angrily.
SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an
Hour?'
DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'
SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can
Borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you
March yourself straight to your room and go to bed.Think about why
You are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish
Frivolities.' The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's
Questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and started to
Think: maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that

$25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went
To the door of the little boy's room and opened the door, 'Are you
Asleep, son?' He asked. 'No, daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.
'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the
Man. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.
Here's the $25 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!'
He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled
Up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get
Angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then
Looked up at his father. 'Why do you want more money if you already
Have some?' the father grumbled. Because I didn't have enough, but
Now I do,' the little boy replied. 'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an
Hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to
Have dinner with you.'

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he
Begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you
Working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers
Without having spent some time with those who really matter to
Us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of
Your time with someone you love.


If we die tomorrow, the company that we are

working for could easily replace us in a matter

of hours. But the family & friends we leave

Behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Want No More Stress

Okay that’s it no more stress people, ENOUGH!

Did you know that a lot of times we create our own stress, oh yes – we do. Think about it we let people at work get to us, road rage, family members, friends and many other things that can get to us. Well I am here to tell you let that stress go right now. You don’t need it. Look do not let anyone still a part of you that is going to give you grief. It is not worth it. Ok ok I can almost hear what some of you guys are saying; it’s easier said than done. Oh, but yes it is easy, let that person go who speed in front of you go it’s ok you are still going to get to your destination so let them go. Gas is too costly to chase them down.

Person on the job made you made; please, let them be mad alone you can get the promotion by keeping your cool and then you can fire them. Ha ha, no don’t do that just kidding. In case you did not know the best revenge is living well.

I know everyone’s life can be very difficult at times and when we need to unload some super heavy burdens then we need to take it to the Man up stairs. Leave it there and put an end to that heavy stuff.

Look people the Oxford dictionary define stress as “1. Pressure or tension exerted on a material object 2. Demand on physical or mental energy”. Notice number 1 states on a object – we are not objects and number 2 says mental energy well – turn your energy to something positive for a mental and physical well being.

Okay now I am going to give you the true definition of stress. READY, here it is:

Stress:

Stop

To

Remove

Every

Stumbling

Stone

How do you do that you asking? Well if you have to imagine yourself doing this fine just do it.

• Ask God for guidance
• Sit on the floor with a basket
• Get all of your stones that are causing stress
• Write on each stone what the stressor is
• One by one place them into the basket and then dump them into the TRASH literally

REMEMBER:

STOP TO REMOVE EVERY STUMBLING STONE

ENDS STRESS.

Strive to rejoice understand grow gain love everyday

Life can be a struggle; and we all go through rough patches at times including those that might be well to do. Just because one might be wealthy does not mean they are exempt from having struggles.

We all are having a struggle with the rising cost of gas now at the $4 mark. The other day I went to get gas and noticed a young lady filling up nearing $80.00; and she had yet to finish pumping. So yes, life can be a struggle in a variety of ways; the gas was just one example.

But we were all meant to struggle right? Jesus suffered. Maybe we should look at the struggle in this way:

Strive

To

Rejoice

Understand

Grow

Gain

Love

Everyday

Then the struggle of life might not be so bad

Hope Circle's

Day I
Since there are so many people in need and the world being in the state it is in, not to mention gas prices I thought of starting a circle of hope. Please Help Me!
What you need to start:
5 Friends
1 Jar
$1.00
Here is what you do:
Start off with your circle of friends of five, appoint one to be the leader of the circle - each friend place $1.00 into the jar. Then ask if anyone in that circle needs the $5.00. If the answer is no then the leader of the first circle of hope will create another circle of hope and appoint another leader. Those persons will then add to the 5.00 now making $10.00 and so on and so forth.

The Hope is that the circles will become so large that by the time there is a friend that is in need that they will have enough to help them out.
Please lets help one step at a time one day at a time we can pass along hope and help and offer peace to one another.

I have started my circle as well; I will not ask anything that I will not do myself. God bless you all

Check in tomorrow for our Day II of Care; Stay Tuned and if you do reply to this message please list the state in which you started.
