Anger and reconciliation!

 Mathew 5,23! Why should I leave my sacrifice and first go and reconcile with my brother ? He...He is angry...



True story for family and community!

David came home from office, tired and in bad mood. Entering the hall, He saw his sweet daughter chuppy sobbing with finger pointed at her elder brother Vincy. David angry, slapped Vincy left and right. 

Vincy cried and Chuppy smiled!

At night, his wife, stroking his hair sighed, "In your anger, you slapped Vincy. He was totally innocent. It Chuppy who repeatedly toppled Vincy's building blocks. But Vincy was cool and did not retaliate. I overheard Chuppy mocking, "Big goody goody saint, let daddy come then you will get angry"

David rushed upstairs to say sorry. But Vincy was fast asleep, holding Chuppy's tiny hand tight.

Next evening father and son went out for a walk. In the park both sat on bench. With his hand on Vincy's shoulder David softly said," I am sorry Vincy. I slapped you...still angry ?"

Vincy stood. Dad also stood nervously!

"Was angry, not anymore. Dad says sorry to his small son.It's real !!"

"Dad, how about some ice-cream to celebrate" Vincy jumped on all fours into David's open hands. 

"Leave your cozy bed, first go..."

FIVE WORDS POWERFUL MANTRA

Image
  About five years back, it happened in St. Joseph's church, Mira Road, Mumbai. That evening a friend of mine, much younger to me, saw me distressed, dejected and on the verge of depression. He rushed back to his flat and came back in a jiffy...with a beautifully written five word 'mantra'. I read it and, viola, my depression vanished. I am ever grateful to him.  This free letter magic mantra has lifted me, boosted me for all these years. I have beautifully instilled it into the life stream of many, many of my counselees.  But I was bent upon to find out the origin of it. Oh, I got the book containing the whole story. But halfway, I lost it. But the mantra helped me not get desperate. My niece got another just with the help of those five words. For months I postponed the write up of this story to a mythical tomorrow. Finally, here am I, with my sacrificial love offering to you: I have put it succinctly and succulently for you (It is very long article in the book)....

  {Gleanings from my studies and counselling} N.B: As you read, please underline, place a circle or highlight the points YOU feel, you need very much. Just three points: 1. When to study 2. How to study 3. Where to study 1. When to study a. Early morning after a restful sleep of about 7 hrs from about 11pm to 5am is our deep sleep, gently get up, say a short prayer {for Christians...even a sign of the cross would do}, go to the washroom, splash water on your face, give a big smile to yourself and then study {A cup of tea or a glass of warm water if you like} b. One of the best times to study is after about 30 minutes exercise {outdoor game. Take a shower or tepid water bath. BBBs or even skipping 50+50 skipping...Relax for 5 to 10 minutes for sweat. Wow!

No please…Relax with some TV or help in the kitchen. The...
