Re: An extra Ten Commandments

Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble,
but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout.

God does not row.  He steers.

An extra Ten Commandments


Layman's Ten . . . . . . .

Someone has written these beautiful words.
Must read and try to understand the deep meaning of it.
They are like the ten commandments to follow in life all the time.

1. Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble,
but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout.

2. So why is a car's windshield so large and the rear view mirror so
small? Because our past is not as important as our future.
So, look ahead and move on.

3. Friendship is like a book. It takes few seconds to burn, but it
takes years to write.

4. All things in life are temporary. If it's going well, enjoy it,
that won't last long. If it's going badly, don't worry, that won't
last long either.

5. Old friends are gold! New friends are diamonds! If you get a
diamond, don't forget the gold! Because to hold a diamond, you always
need a base of gold!

6. Often when we lose hope and think this is the end,
God smiles from above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend,
not the end!"

7. When God solves your problems, you have faith in His abilities;
when God doesn't solve your problems, He has faith in your abilities.

8. A blind person asked St. Anthony, "Can there be anything worse than
losing eye sight?" He replied, "Yes, losing your vision!"

9. When you pray fo others, God listens to you and blesses them;
sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has
prayed for you.

10. Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles, it takes away
today's peace.
