Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger Apr 12, 2008 5:10 am 168 Views There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese..... Thumb represents your Parents Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings Middle finger represents your-Self Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner & the Last (Little) finger represents your children Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip. Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later. Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)...., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives. Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)...., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day. Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse). You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT....., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!! Please try this out......... ISN'T THIS A LOVELY THEORY? 0 Comments

Lessons Learned Oct 31, 2007 5:56 am 294 Views In our lives people come and go, friendships form a loving bond, trust is broken in the natural flow, can’t be fixed with a magic wand. Living has never been an easy task, filled with obstacles and illusions, for evil wears a multitude of masks, minds boggled in utter lost confusion. Moment by moment we look to find our way, reaching beyond what’s given each day, never understanding the complexity of time, nor comprehension of what’s yours or mine. I’ve traveled multitudinous roads, some good, some bad, I've learned from each along the forgotten way, it’s not the fame and fortune which I had, but rather it was the peace and happiness that fulfilled each day 2 Comments

Smiling Thru The Tears Oct 26, 2007 10:33 am 268 Views Times are good and times are bad. I’ve had happy days and sad. Through it all I understand; It’s not my choice, fate dealt the hand. So I play the hand I have, I’m not a quitter; I won’t starve. I feel the pinch; I feel the pain. The pressure’s on; I won’t complain. I am strong; I persevere. God is on my side; I have no fear. I must admit, the wear and tear Is the main reason I adhere; To my faith, my hope, my God; I can’t do it alone, I need the Lord. There are days I am so depressed, I’m overcome with loneliness. I’m on my knees, I’m deep in prayers. I’m overwhelmed, and I’m in tears. Who would believe the craziness? I never thought it would be like this. I am sustained by God who cares. Look, I am Smiling Thru The Tears. 4 Comments
