Let Me Put It Straight

It has been two years now,
May be a few days here or there,
I promised a trickle,
Thought of a flood.
But now I realise,
There's no value in promises,
No value as long as there's no backing,
From God Almighty.
So now I stop promising,
Now I let Him do His job.
Now I start listening to Him.
Now I start trying what He asks.
I put my self before selfish.
My Guide, My God, My Saviour,
Your servant is ready.

God sent him that day

Thanking God Almighty

This is to thank Siva and his father Karupaiah

On 8th May 2014, 6 pm. We- I, Sheryl, Yovanna and Sheryl's Grandma were on our way back from Tirupur when, nearing Sempatti, the timing belt on the car got loose. Not knowing what to do and where to go, I was standing by the roadside asking people for a lift, along came this young man, riding his bike slowly, listening to music on his earphones, he stopped seeing my sign for a lift, hearing of the problem, first gave a lift to Sempatti, came with me to a few workshops, and when no one there was ready to come, sent me back to the car and personally went to Dindigul. The mechanic there told that there was no possibility of mending the car that night. We were faced with the prospect of spending the night on the road. That is when God chose to show us his mercy through my dearest brother Karuppathevar Siva. He asked if we mind staying at his home for the night. It was like asking a starving man if he liked biriyani! He took us home and treated us like we were his siblings. We had just met and here he was giving us full freedom at his home. We stayed there for the night. The next day he made sure that there would be no problems in getting the car towed to Dindigul and also in getting the car repaired. Sheryl, Her Grandmother and Yovanna had stayed back. They prepared food there and had food like they would have done at home. We returned in the late afternoon, happy and thankful to God, especially after hearing that Siva usually never stops or rides slow on his way back home.

Gratitude

That was a journey of wonder,

That  wonder that would've been lost,

If not for your earnest presence,

If not for the unstinted support,

Of those who work their hearts out,

Of those who pray in all earnestness.

We feel blessed to display the best,

We promise to give you the first,

Emotion of well being, happiness,

Emotion of confidence, solidity,

As we close out this passage, happy,

As we start a new one, hopeful.

May we meet again the next time,

May God keep us hale and hearty,

To put in the best we can,

To put out the very best of ours,

Radiate thanks till we meet,

Radiate hope when we meet,

Till then let’s hang in tight,

Till then pray for only the right.
