'If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the
river.' The congregation cried, 'Amen!'
'And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and throw it in the
river.' And the congregation cried, 'Amen!'
'And if I had all the whiskey and rum in the world, I'd take it all and
throw it in the river. 'Again the congregation cried, 'Amen!'
The Preacher sat down.
The deacon then stood up & said: 'For our closing hymn, let's turn to page
126 of our hymn books and sing:
'We shall drink from that River. 'The congregation screamed 'HALLELUYAAAAAA'.

Fw: Be Thankful Always
PEACE OF MIND
If you were to ask your neighbor, "What would give you peace of mind?" he might tell you, "A vacation in Bermuda!" or "An extra hundred grand would give me peace!", or "A new Ferrari would make me content!"
But going to places - and getting stuff - is usually a temporary solution ...
Peace of mind rarely comes from getting more stuff. Getting more stuff usually leads to wanting even more stuff! Peace of mind starts with being grateful for what we have right now.
GRATITUDE is POWER
When we are thankful for what we have - for the friends we have, and for the things we've got, we attract more good people and good things!
People who always complain about what they DON'T HAVE, stay stuck. Complainers attract more things to complain about!
It is a law of life. It's hard to explain, but you can observe it around you.
We get more of what we dwell upon. That's why all the spiritual masters have taught the same lesson:
"Start by being thankful. Be happy with what you have now, and more will come your way." It's a practical advice: Every time you say a silent "thank you" become more peaceful
HEAVEN is when you have:
AMERICAN salary,
ENGLISH car,
CHINESE food, and
INDONESIAN wife.
HELL is when you have:
AMERICAN wife,
ENGLISH food,
CHINESE car, and
INDONESIAN salary.
