“LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT” – by Des Kelly

  • “LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT” – by Des Kelly
  • “SIX LITTLE stories” well worth the 30 seconds to read!

Certainly worth a repeat, especially for those who have not seen the initial ‘post’. Thank you, Keith Bennett for this most interesting story on LIFE.

Desmond-Kelly

  Desmond Kelly (Mr.Music)
(Editor-in-Chief)   e’Lanka.

“SIX LITTLE stories” well worth the 30 seconds to read!

  {1}

Once all villagers decided to pray for rain.

  On the day of prayer all the people gathered,

  but only one boy came with an umbrella.

That’s FAITH.

{2} 

When you throw babies in the air,

they laugh because they know you will catch them. 

That’s TRUST. 

{3} 

Every night we go to bed

  without any assurance of being alive the next morning,

  but still we set the alarms to wake up. 

That’s HOPE

{4} 

We plan big things for tomorrow

in spite of zero knowledge of the future. 

That’s CONFIDENCE 

{5} 

We see the world suffering,

but still we get married and have children. 

That’s LOVE. 

{6} 

On an old man’s shirt was written a sentence

‘I am not 80 years old;

  I am sweet 16 with 64 years of experience.’

That’s ATTITUDE. 

Have a happy day & live your life like the 6 stories. 

When I was a child, I thought nap time was punishment. Now it’s like a mini-vacation. 

“GOOD FRIENDS ARE THE RARE JEWELS OF LIFE..

DIFFICULT TO FIND AND IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE!

I SENT THIS TO A FEW OF THE BEST.
