quotes

Like a thief, unexpectedly you robbed me, No more coldness within my heart..........♥ You changed it from dirty stone, Into a beautiful piece of art..................♥ ... To passion I had no vision, But you kissed my eyes and let me see............♥ Another part of my rigid being, You so graciously set free...........♥ Emotions which I found foreign, Seem to be a second language today...... You taught me how to speak them, Within my heart they'll stay............♥ Like a thief, unexpectedly you robbed me, Stole my heart without a peep.........♥ I thank you for being so silent, My heart you shall keep....................♥

Five finger prayer

Five Finger Prayer cid:104980575000000@web45612.mail.sp1.yahoo.com This is beautiful - and it is surely worth making the 5 finger prayer a part of our lives. 1. The thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a 'sweet duty.' 2. The index finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and priests. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers. 3. The third finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance . 4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them. 5. The little finger The smallest finger of all which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bhagvad Geeta says, 'The least shall be the greatest among you.' Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.
