You said you passed through class two Answer this!

   
                One day my son asked me a question, it took me a whole night thinking about the appropriate answer to explain. i believe you want to give it a try.

   A story is told of this fisherman, in Quest-land. who got up very early in the morning to go fishing as usual.
quest-land
     There was no enough sunlight to get his boat into the sea. he walked around waiting the sun to appear brighter, at the seashore he saw a pack of stones, and to pass time, he started throwing the stones into the sea, one after the other, back in his mind thinking of his son, back at home, who was about to graduate to class eight..
    While having the last stone in his hand, the sun was up and bright enough. then he saw that the stone he was holding was a diamond and all the other 11 stones he threw into the sea were diamonds as well.
   he felt sorry for his lost misfortune..

what lesson have you learnt from the story?

"Keep the F and i will keep my dream"

      "Keep the F and i will keep my dream" 


                      In our traditions Story telling is one of the most important activity that took place, main goal was to pass over the traditions and belief of the community, counsel young men and ladies and prepare them for whats ahead of them, it was mostly shared by elders unlike nowadays where young-stars can share with anyone who inclines their ear to listen no wonder there's too much mis-interpreted stories and theories circulating in our society today,
                                   
This Evening Pukky came home late after a tough day at work. " I will tell you a story of my friend, Monty." he said after supper.



As he was a kid, his father as a horse trainer was moving from stable to stable, from ranch to ranch, training horses. Thus the boy's school career was constantly interrupted.



One day, when he was a senior the teacher asked him to write about what he wanted to be when he grew up.

He  didn't hesitate a minute and wrote seven-page paper about his aim to be an owner of a horse ranch.
he wrote many details and went ahead to draw a location of buildings and stables and even a detailed house plan.

Two days later he received his paper back with letter "F" on the front page. After class he came to the teacher and asked "Why did i receive an F?"
               The teacher responded. "This dreams is so unrealistic for a boy like you, who has no money, no resources and who comes from itinerant family. There is no possibility that you will reach your great goals one day"
                    Then the teacher offered to rewrite the paper with more realistic attitude.
  The boy went home and asked his Father, how should he act. The father answered "This decision is very important for you. so you have to make your own mind on this"

After several days the days the boy brought the same paper to his teacher. no changes were made.
He said. "Keep the F and i will keep my dream".
Now Monty Roberts owns 4,000 squared-foot
house in the middle of 200 acre horse ranch and he still has that school paper, which now is framed over the fireplace. Remember you have to follow your heart and never let anyone to steal your dreams.





Remember giving up is never an option!!






Every person with a vision and a mission will encounter discouragements but remember not to turn your ears to discourages, look at someone like Nehemiah, he was discouraged by the tobia, against building the wall of Jerusalem, don't give up. you can make it,

God is Real!!!

1. Babies. How can anyone deny the reality of God when they see a baby? The amount of information encrypted in one cell in the human body is equal to that of 1,000 books. The total amount of information stored in your DNA is 40 times more than that of the largest set of encyclopedias in the world. King David felt this sense of awe when he wrote, “You wove me in my mother’s womb. ... I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Ps. 139:13, 14, NASB). Life is truly a miracle!


2. Thunderstorms. I love to sit on my back porch in Kenya and listen to the rumbling of thunder. It reminds me of God’s majesty and power. The apostle Paul said creation was the best evidence of God’s existence. He wrote, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen” (Rom. 1:20). Nature is actually full of quantifiable miracles. Just consider the fact that the earth is the perfect distance from the sun to support life. If we were any farther away from the sun, we would freeze; if we were even slightly closer to it, we would burn up. It’s obvious God created this home for us!


3. The Bible. Paul wrote that “all Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Tim. 3:16). The Bible itself is proof of God’s existence because He used 40 unrelated people over a period of 2,000 years to write His unique love letter to us. There is nothing like the Bible because it carries the same consistent message throughout all of its 66 different books. Atheists can laugh at this idea, but those who have read the Scriptures and experienced God through its pages know why it is the best-selling and most-translated book in all of history. (Fact: 100 million copies of the Bible are sold every year. Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion has sold 2 million.)
4. Jesus. The most amazing thing about God is that He loved us soo much He sent His Son to earth to save us from ourselves. Jesus was with the Father from the time of creation, and His arrival was predicted numerous times in Old Testament prophecy. Finally He interrupted history and came to live among us. His crucifixion is historical fact, and His resurrection was verified by hundreds of witnesses. The man who perhaps knew Jesus best—the apostle John—saw the risen Christ and touched His nail-pierced hands. He wrote, “What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you” (1 John 1:3). Jesus is not an illusive fairy tale. He is the living, breathing, touchable Son of God.
5. My personal friendship with God. Atheists may not be convinced that God exists after listening to a storm, smelling a hibiscus or reading the Bible. When I am asked to defend my faith, I don’t start an intellectual argument. I have to go back to the words of Paul in 2 Timothy 1:12: “I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed.”
There are many reasons I am convinced God is real (the existence of coffee alone proves that He loves me!), but the best evidence is how He forgave me, changed me and put unexplainable joy in my heart. And I can prove that.
