[JOYnet] Life is beautiful
Hi Friends, We cannot predict about our life, but yes we have to learn from our life experiences not only ours but from others experiences too. And thus we will be prepared to face any kind of situation. Our Life is shortin these present times it has been shortened more. And in this short span of lifetime how can we make it beautiful. Its my experience that when we spend sometime with others specially the less fortunate, the sick and the aged and the neglected maybe in our own neighbourhood, and our family members, we can picture a beautiful sketch of our life. The happiness we wud give them will add colours to our life which will grow fonder with time and remain with us as unforgetful memories. Forwarding a beautiful story.hopefully it will encourage us to make our life and others lives beautiful. So sad but so beautiful.. In Phoenix, AZ. A 26-year-old mother stared down at her son who was dying of terminal leukaemia. Although her heart was filled with sadness, she also had a strong feeling of determination. Like any parent she wanted her son to grow up and fulfil all his dreams. Now that was no longer possible. The leukaemia would see to that. But she still wanted her son's dreams to come true. She took her son's hand and asked, Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up? Did you ever dream and wish what you would do with your life? Mommy, I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up. Mom smiled back and said, Let's see if we can make your wish come true. Later that day she went to her local fire department in Phoenix, Arizona, where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix. She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine. Fireman Bob said, Look, we can do better than that. If you'll have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him an honorary fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out all the fire calls, the whole nine yards! And if you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him, with a real fire hat-not a toy one-with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots. They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix, so we can get them fast. Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his fire uniform and escorted him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck. Billy got to sit on the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station. He was in heaven. There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day and Billy got to go out on all three calls. He rode in the different fire engines, the paramedic's van, and even the fire chief's car. He was also videotaped for the local news program. Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible. One night all of his vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed in the hospice concept that no one could die alone, began to call the family members to the hospital. Then she remembered the day Billy had spent as a fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Billy as he made his transition. The chief replied, We can do better than that. We'll be there in five minutes. Will you please do me a favour? When you hear the sirens screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that there is not a fire? It's just the fire department coming to see one of its finest members one more time. And will you open the window to his room? About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder up to Billy's third floor open window. Sixteen fire-fighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room. With his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they loved him. With his dying breath, Billy looked up at the fire chief and said, Chief, am I really a fireman now? Billy, you are, and the Head Chief, Jesus, is holding your hand, the chief said. With those words, Billy smiled and said, I know, He's been holding my hand all day, and the angels have been singing. He closed his eyes one last time. I was requested to send this to someone I wanted God to bless and I picked you. Please pass this to other people you want to be blessed. Uplifting stories are one of the best gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards, let's continue to uplift one another. May God Bless each and everyone.

Dear JOYnetters After a short period of hibernation our friend Suru is out from cold to say that he is alone. Suru, its hightime to get doubled???!!! :) Josun from Delhi is also in the same boat and he has declared his intention loud and clear. I am filling out what you have left blank in your mail (about family life). YES indeed family life with wife and kids are really beautiful. I have two tiny tots: One is 4 1/2 and the other 1 1/2 years old. Both are boys. So you know how hard it is. Still I find life is beautiful... If you consider every inconvenience as an adventure and face that adventure with JESUS you will find life most beautiful. So you are not alone my buddy.we all are with you along with our JESUS. Dont worry .be hapy. sebastian thomas Bahrain From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [JOYnet] Life is beautiful !!! Date: Mon, 13 May 2002 02:31:16 +0600 Hi friends, Life is beautiful !!! Why life is beautiful There are many things coming into mind.. let me start with few experiences... Everywhere it is War Terrorism and war against Terrorism CNN, BBC, Sky news, Foxnews or any Tv channels you get this peice of news... India you get Gujrat, Middle east you get Palestine issues, Nepal you get Maoists, Sri Lanka you get Tamil issues, Taliban, IRA, Al Fatah, Jihad, Hamas, Japaneese Red Armay, ETA, PKK, list is going on... If you take religions there also problems, In kerala itself we have time long issues on various things like liturgy, etc, politics is hopeless anywhere... Globalism, International trade, World bank,etc. Attack on a building in New York is affecting a family in the remote village of Assam or Bihar but same time a million dollar profit for the neighbor might not give that family any benefit.. Everywhere you can see unrest among the people. Still life is beautiful Like to share few things coming into Mind. We Joynet members are scattered all around the world. unless like other JY communities we are not from a particular place, job or situation... many of us are alone in their country or City (I mean no other Jy's around). this part of sharing specially for them... for my friends who are away from their home, far away from their parents and loving ones. No Man can Live as an Island Journeying through the life alone Last few days I was feeling so lonely... Where else can we share all this feelings... Being in this community for more than 3 years I feel this is the place we can get the real love, help, spiritual support etc. My job is like operating from my house itself and not much works always so in literal meaning here I am alone. That's is the reason these days thinking the worthiness of being with friends, Being in a Community, Being with family etc. God created this world in a beautiful harmony...Where we all can live as a community...where nobody is alone...Family ties are most important in our life. My father, Mother, their sufferings for me, How they managed to support all our way, They gave everything for us, My sister, brother, their love for me, How much they care for me... (My wife, kids don't know how to explain this part... Some married guys can explain)... Yes experincing all this... Life is beautiful... Something very beautiful right Friends - My memories going back to college days, The friendships we will remember till the end of our life My college days I got my best friends... still we are best friends and when ever in kerala I spend my time with them.
