Family Pictures | |
l . We visited Grandma last week. She went to her bedroom. She brought down old books of pictures. We looked at the old pictures. 2. We sat at the kitchen table. A mother, a grandmother. and a daughter looked at photos of mothers, grandmothers and daughters. 3. We turned the yellow pages of the books. The pictures were old. They had men, women, and children I don't remember.
| 4. We listened to Grandma talk. " There's a little Bonita." She said. " She had long ,curly. brown hair and big brown eyes." Grandma touched the page. 5. We listened to stories about aunts, uncles, cousins, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. I don't remember them. But from the stories I know them.

A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to the stress in work and life.
The professor went to the kitchen and returned a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups-crystal(水晶的), glass, plastic, some nice looking, some plain looking, some , some cheap. And he told them to help to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "I've noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were , leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root of your and stress. You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, you consciously went for the best cups.
Now consider this.Life is the coffee. The jobs, money and in society are the cups. They are just to hold life. and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by only of the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee ! "
The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make of everything.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak . And leave the rest to God.
