Hi Joynetters, My mother always told me that I should always try and go the second mile because most people go the first mile and its the second mile that makes the difference.
My parents have ben married for the past 21 years and i suppose the novelty of marriage has long worn off. So my father generally leaves getting my mother a B'thday present to our discretion( that is me and my two sisters). So the three of us sit and plan things out .But when the three of us get going we have a slight volume problem .So finally everyone, including my mother and except my father knows what he is giving my mother for her B'thday. Though my mother never lets us know that she knows what is coming her way and pretends absolute ignorance. But this time for her B' thday my father, to all our surprise and to my mothers delight, got her a saree on his own.....i mean he had gone and taken the trouble to choose a saree for her.It was wonderful because he had gone the second mile. I suppose all of us do go that second mile to show that we care with our friends . But most of the time , it is with the people for whom we care the most and the people who care the most fo us that we forget the second mile. There is nothing particularly great in taking your mother to the hospital when she is sick, or taking on more than your share of the load when someone is sick or tired... most people would do that. But its when u go that second mile to tell them through your actions and words that u love them that it makes a diference. M y mother rang me up yesterday. I was surprised since she had rung me up the day before and it was unual for her to call me again the very next day.But she told me that she was thinking about me and just fell like talking to me........I always knew my mother loved me, but i felt great about that call---it made my day. The vintage rule( the longer stored ,the better the brew) , dosen't exactly apply to love u know. So why keep all that love for the people u care for corked up in your heart. Go the second mile today to show someone u care for, that u love them . It will make their day .. and trust me .. it will make yours too. So go ahead and make someone's day special loads of Love and GBU Kripa _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com **************************************************************** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
