A Choice

A beggar asked Ibrahim ibn Al Adham for charity Ibrahim told him: “I’ll give you better than that; come with me.” Ibrahim accompanied the beggar to a merchant, and asked him to find a job for the beggar. As Ibrahim was well trusted, the merchant didn’t hesitate to give some merchandise to the beggar and asked him to travel and sell them in another city.

A few days later, Ibrahim found the beggar still in a miserable condition; surprised, he asked him about the matter. The beggar informed him: “While traveling, I found a blind eagle in the desert, and I was very curious how it got food though it was blind; I observed it for some time and, at my big surprise, another eagle came with food and fed it. Thus, I said to myself: it’s WHO took care of that blind eagle in this desert who will also take care of me! I returned to the city and give the merchant back his goods.”

Ibrahim, after reflection, asked him: “But tell me, why did you choose to be the blind eagle, not the other one, who could fly, chase, and take care of others?”

2 Year-Old Raped and Killed in Oklahoma City

A twenty-two-year old man has been arrested in the death of a two year old girl in Oklahoma City. The child was taken to hospital after she was found not breathing. Examinations revealed that she had been sexually assaulted. The child suffered injuries to a number of internal organs and lost a lot of blood. The man is held without bail on charges of rape and murder. Reads like a horror story doesn’t it, but what I find even more disturbing is that according to the police the mother of the child refused to give them a description of the man who happens to be her boyfriend. The report also stated that the sheets were stripped off the child’s bed; the room vacuumed and wet laundry found in the washer. Was this an attempt of a cover up? How horrible for a toddler to have to die this way. Why is there so much evil in the world?

Hungarian Reporter Kicks and Trips Refugees

This video is very painful to watch. It is disgusting that this Hungarian reporter was so insensitive to the plight of Syrian refugees and that she would resort to kicking and tripping some of them as they ran for their lives. How can someone be so heartless is something I cannot understand. Talk about kicking someone when they are down… She was fired from her job and rightly so. Her behavior was disgraceful.

Life

Life is more than what we see

It’s little steps to eternity.

All we are is counted and stored

In God’s great heart that is often ignored.

Gifted with talents from His own hand,

And given free will the way he planned,

We are sent forth but not sent alone

But are given an angel of our very own…

Who guides us and guards us each passing day

To help us do rightly and always to pray.

We seem to become what the world sees and knows.

God sees more – Is it Him that we chose?

Inspirational Quote

Money can buy a bed but not sleep

Books but not brains

Food but not appetite

Finery but not beauty

A house but not a home

Medicine but not health

Luxuries but not culture

Amusements but not happiness

Religion but not salvation

A passport to everywhere but heaven

Inspirational Story


There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend who was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, ‘If I could only see the World, I will marry you.’

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

He asked her,’Now that you can see the world, will you marry Me?’ The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind.

The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t expected that, and the thought of looking at them the rest of her life led Her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her that said:

‘Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they Were yours, they were mine.’

Character

On Immigrants Speaking English

People tend to use the term immigrant loosely without giving much thought to who is an immigrant. Many people in America do not see themselves as immigrant but the truth is unless your fore-parents were here prior to Columbus coming to America you descendants of immigrants. There is no denying that America is made up of immigrants. Immigrants came to America from all different parts of the world and they did not all speak the same language. Sadly Sarah Palin is so busy sucking up to Donald Trump that she seem to have taken leave of her senses making that speech that Immigrants should speak English when they are in America. Hey I am not saying people shouldn’t try to learn English but they shouldn’t be forced to speak it and Sarah Palin and Donald Trump ought to understand this.
