Enjoy the Day



There was once a man who lived in a house with the back facing a golf course.
Friends asked him why there were no windows at the back of the house.
For security, he said.
Then, he explained : How many times do you actually sit on the balcony at the back of the house and watch the greens, the monkeys and the birds.

The question hit the nail on the head.

How many times? Hardly ever. So, we blocked out the beauty that God has given us because we have no time. We are always doing things on the run. And even when we lie on the bed , the hundreds of things that we think are important to us runs in our head.

It is when you have no time left and when you are sick or dying that you wonder : Why did I not slow down...

The lucky ones are those who learn to dance slow and take time to watch kids playing on the swings, and listen to the sound of rain falling on the ground. They would never want to be filled with hate, bitterness and ill will ever, more so when they reach the age of 59, 60, 65, 70 or 80..
