The
black balloon.....
A man was selling balloons in a park.
All the kids gathered and purchased balloons from him. At last only one black balloon was left for a black boy.
He was reluctant to purchase a black balloon.
The balloon vendor asked him ....why did not he like to take the black balloon.
The boy replied..... uncle, since I am black in colour, no body likes me. So I hate the black colour itself.
The balloon vendor smiled at the boy and said with love in his eyes,.... boy, listen, it is not the colour, but the content which makes the balloon fly high in the sky...
The balloon vendor freed the thread of the black balloon, the boy kept on starring at the horizon where the balloon merged with the sun....

God's Coffee
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some
expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:
"If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.
What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live.
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us."
God brews the coffee, not the cups.......... Enjoy your coffee!
"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything."
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
