them. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother"s Christmas gift.
Ever since his father had passed away three years ago, his mother worked nights at the hospital, but
the small wage could only be stretched so far.
What the family lacked in money and material things, they more than made up for in love and family
unity. They ran the household in their mother"s absence. All three of his sisters had already made beautiful
gifts for their mother.

w
alked from shop to shop. Everything seemed so beautiful and so out of reach. It was starting to get dark, then suddenly his eyes caught a shiny dime. Never has anyone felt so wealthy as Bobby did at that
moment.
He went inside a flower shop. When the owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime
and asked if he could buy one flower. The shop owner looked at Bobby, then said, "You just wait here
and I"ll see what I can do for you."
The shop owner returned holding red roses all tied together with a big
silver bow. Bobby"s heart sank as the owner placed them gently into a long white box. "That will be ten cents, young man," said the
shop owner, reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime.
Then the shopkeeper"s wife appeared. "Where are the roses you were fixing?"
The shop owner replied, "A strange thing happened to me this morning. I thought I heard a voice telling me to set aside a dozen of my best roses for a special gift. I wasn"t sure at the time whether I had lost my mind or what, but I set them aside anyway. When I saw that little boy tonight, I knew who that voice was."

| A woman was in a hurry to go to the airport. She told the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she was not aware they were going by a different route. Suddenly, a man got inside the cab. He took her handbag where she had placed her visa, passport, and all her money for the trip. The driver, who was in cahoots with the robber, left her in the middle of that dark street. She cursed the world for being so mean to her, and thought how unlucky she was in that situation. That very same night, she heard some shocking news.Tears flowed down her face.Flight 230,which was the plane that she was supposed to have boarded, had crashed.If she had not lost her precious belongings, she could have lost something far more important-her life. Sometimes bad things really happen.We lose money, fail our exams, or are rejected by others.There are times when nothing seems to go our way. So what should we do about it? Should we be disappointed? The answer is a resounding "No!" We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the consistent faith that we will get what we deserve. Don"t waste your time and energy on things that can"t be changed.Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you"ll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.

If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it.Hope for protection and guidance.Life is so unpredictable.You never know what will happen next. Live one day at a time.we sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble.We ask ourselves: "What if I don"t get this done in time?" or "What if my family leaves me and I"ve got no one else to turn to?" Live for the moment.Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine. Believe me. And believe in yourself.
