A story about Gratitude; the rewards of being Grateful.


 Of all the tales and stories of gratitube and the rewards of being grateful, one stands out the most as a prime example of why these things are important. Are you one for stories, here is a short one about the importance of gratitude— benefits of gratitude.

 

 I am not one for religious stories, but when I read this story, I understood the divinity and wisdom Jesus had— truly. 



 'Now on Jesus' (Yeshua, Isa, Yēsū jīdū),  way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee (those towns still exist today). As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him— ten. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus (Isa, Yeshua)— Master, have pity on us!”: Mind you, Jesus, to the astonishment of humans all those years back, healed people without hesitation, even against the will of Pharisees, then. But, he made sure he also healed people's spirits away from sin, making us understand that just performing miracles is not the epitome of his mission, but to turn us to God.


  When he saw the ten lepers that called out to him,this is how he healed them; he said, “Go, present yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed and healed.

 

 Only one of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, singing praises to God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?  Has no one returned to give praise to God our father, except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”'

   

 Of all ten men, only one returned to show appreciation and show gratitude for his healing, and Jesus placed emphasis on that gesture as a good act. Not only was he healed, Jesus commended his faith and character.  


 Say this prayer: What good quality did you notice in the man that returned. He is a grateful person. Ask God for that spirit.         Luke 17:11-19.

What are the Azan shia, Adhan meaning, Shia azan, Asr adhan?

What are the Azan shia, Adhan meaning, Shia azan, Asr adhan?  Hello, here we will talk about Azan shia or Shia Azan, the Adhan meaning, the most powerful prayers of any religions, and the Asr adhan? Let's see them all. What is the Azan Shia? Azan Shia is the same thing as Adhan Shia and is a Muslim sect's (subsect) call for prayer which differs with the Adhan/Azan of the better known Muslim sects; especially in regards to a reference the Shias make to a prophet known as Imam Ali ibn abi talib, who is held in an almost Christ like manner. Giving he Adhan meaning a different vibe. The Azan shia is also known as the Shia azan. Who is Imam Ali ibn abi talib?   Imam Ali ibn abi talib lived from 601 to 661 A.D (After the death of Christ), and was among the first Muslims. He was a relative to the revered Prophet Muhammad. In Shia prayers Imam Ali ibn abi talib is even referenced.   "ʾašhadu ʾanna ʿAlīyan walīyu -llāhi, ʾašhadu ʾanna ʿAlīyan walīyu -llāhi— I bear w...

The two types of pride, positive pride and negative pride

The two types of pride, positive pride and negative pride. When someone asks you to define pride, or to give the definition of pride you know, you must know that there are many pride meaning(s). As such, pride definition is diverse. There is the pride of accomplishment and one for contentedness (pilgrim pride, pride parade, pride in God, etc); there is also the context of pride as a sin, or sin pride.    Pride meanings, except the word for a group of lions, the rest are scoped around an inward personal reflection of ourselves.  So how many types of pride do we have?  There are two forms if you ask me, in case you are wondering what types of pride. The  two types of pride  are positive and negative pride. Positive pride sterms from contentedness, victory, achievement.- Negative pride comes from laziness, profligacy, entitlement, rage, greed, envy, gossip, idleness, choosiness, and from wanting the best things by all means.-  Some of us are s...

Do people kiss in Bollywood movies?

Are bollywood kisses real? What is love like in India? You will know what we think about it, like never revealed previously.    Ever noticed, until recently, there were no kissing scenes in Bollywood movies. Somehow, a population of one billion just saw it unfit to lick lock on camera for decades. It is possible that there are laws that prohibited kisses and smooches on set.   Not until they actually touch hands, they just keep singing and running around, and expressing affections from behind trees and marbled pillars. That is the stereotype I became accustomed too.   One thing too is sure, it is true love. The divorce rate in India is about 1 out of every 110 marriages, making it much lower than all other countries of the world. The fact that Bollywood movies— most of them— don't portray explicit content doesn't mean they don't know how to love.   Frogs are married off to each other in India, as well, like in places like Varanasi. Old trad...
