"My computer prayer" by an unknown author.

Dear Lord,

Every evening as
I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little prayer
keeps running through my head.

God, bless my mom and dad
And bless my little pup
And look out for my sister
When things aren't looking up.

And God, there's one more thing
I wish that you could do
Hope you don't mind my asking
But please bless my computer too.

Now, I know that's not normal
To bless a motherboard
But just listen for a second
While I explain to you, my Lord.

You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends.
Inside those small compartments
Are a hundred of my 'friends'.

I know for sure they like me
By the kindness that they give
And this little scrap of metal
Is how I travel to where they live.

By faith is how I know them
much the same as you
I share in what life brings them
From that our friendship grew.

Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above
To bless this scrap of metal
That's filled with so much love!

Just my thoughts

• Don't try to compete with me, for you will never be a winner. not because that I defeat you, but because I am not competing with you!

• Love never turns into hatred, but lust and greed do.

• Love never demands, it only gives.

Departure

The sound of silence

Listen carefully to the silence

It whispers the secrets of life

That you haven’t heard yet

Wonderful things by and by

How does the mind function?

How those thoughts arise

How you sleep and wake

It tells you day and night

What lies deep in your mind?

What happens when you die?

What brings you real happiness?

What things can make you cry

Why the sun rises in the morning

Why the moon shines at night

Why the stars keep on shining

Silence will teach you right

Where the deepest feelings lie

Where you can make tears dry

Where do we go from here?

Where we stay for a while

When you listen to the silence

You will learn many things

That brings you inspiration

Quietness of the heart it brings

A plea for Jesus

I am fed up hearing what religion says
I am fed up looking for all the new ways
I am searching the reality diligently always
O Lord be kind enough to show me thy face


I can see that everything is divided
People, nations and religion have collided
The dignity of manking is burying under money
when wil they learn truth which is sweeter than honey


churches are deteriorated, corrupted immensly
Church goers are following a routine blindly
good shephards have lowered themselves to the bottom
They have become German shephards making sheeps flatten


When you were among men you made them whole
That time has gone and now it's a black hole
People kill each other with qualities unwhole
Return O lord we need your call


Teach me to think in right terms now on
Teach me to grasp the truth you've shown
make me a weapon that explodes and cease
which only brings to the world everlasting peace.

My Purpose

I am here for a reason

Which I don’t know exactly

I am living in the present

Which is the only reality

I know one thing for sure

That some day I have to leave

To the place where I came from

Leaving everything behind

Nothing is permanent

Where I live right now

Everything changes

Causing grief somehow

I wanted to be a candle

That shines upon darkness

I don’t know whether it happened

And gave the light at all

I wanted to be salt

That adds a taste to life

I don’t know whether it happened

And made many lives tasty

I wanted to be a breeze

That cools the heated minds

I don’t know whether it happened

And cooled anybody’s heart

I wanted to be a drop of dew

That quenches the thirst of earth

I don’t know whether it happened

And made grow a plant of hope

I wanted to be a star

That shines in the dark night

I don’t know whether it happened

How many were guided by that light

If somebody is sleeping well

Due to burden I eased from them

That is enough for me

To live this life on

If somebody is happy

Due to what I said or done

That is enough for me

To live this life on

Light Years

Look at those stars

Glistening in the dark sky

Twinkling infinitely

As if they are shy

We call them little stars

But how could we say?

They are the huge flames

That stays in Milky Way

Nobody knows for sure

How far away they are

We only can guess

That they exist there

No matter how far they are

We need not to worry

Just think in this way

Making an inquiry

In mind we are able

To travel that long distance

When we close our eyes

And relax for instance

Listen to these stars

When you are alone

They will speak to you

About the secrets of their own

Open your mind

And invite them inside

You will learn the reality

And see the invisible side

We came into this life

Passing many light years

We are here for a while

Wondering for a few years

Before we return to the destination

Where we expect so long

We need to learn many things

Which will lead us on

We have met while on the life’s journey

We’ll depart at the end

But hope we’ll meet some day

Again in some light years away.
