[www.keralites.net] GROCERY LIST

 

GROCERY LIST
Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face,

walked into a grocery store..

She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked

if he would let her charge a few groceries..

She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work,

they had seven children and they needed food.

John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store at once.

Visualizing the family needs, she said: 'Please, sir! I will bring you the money

just as soon as I can.'

John told her he could not give her credit, since she did not have a charge account at his store.

Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the two The customer walked forward and told the grocer that he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family. The grocer said in a very reluctant voice, 'Do you have a grocery list?'

Louise replied, 'Yes sir.' 'O..K' he said, 'put your grocery list on the scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries.'

Louise hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then she reached into her purse

and took out a piece of paper and scribbled something on it. She then laid the piece

of paper on the scale carefully with her head still bowed.

The eyes of the grocer and the customer showed amazement when the scales

went down and stayed down..

The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly to the customer and said begrudgingly,

'I can't believe it.'

The customer smiled and the grocer started putting the groceries on the other side of the scales. The scale did not balance so he continued to put more and more groceries

on them until the scales would hold no more.

The grocer stood there in utter disgust. Finally, he grabbed the piece of paper

from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement.

It was not a grocery list, it was a prayer, which said:

'Dear Lord, you know my needs and I am leaving this in your hands.'

The grocer gave her the groceries that he had
gathered and stood in stunned silence.

Louise thanked him and left the store. The other customer handed a fifty-dollar bill to the grocer and said; 'It was worth every penny of it. Only God Knows how much a prayer weighs.'

THE POWER: When you receive this, say a prayer. That's all you have to do.

Just stop right now, and say a prayer of thanks for your own good fortune.....

I believe if you will send this testimony out with prayer in faith, you will receive what you need God to do in your and your families' life ..

So dear heart, trust God to heal the sick, provide food for the hungry, clothes and shelter for those that don't have as we do..... Tathastu, Tathastu

 

 

 

Tolerance is a Powerful Virtue

[www.keralites.net] Story: How I Became Honest

 

When I was in grade school I really enjoyed lying.  Not the white lies you tell your mom when you ate cookies that you weren't supposed to.  I'm talking about the elaborate lies you tell friends to make yourself appear to be better than you are.  I remember convincing my friends in 3rd grade that my father was the President of Coca Cola.  I remember convincing my friends in 5th grade that I had gone deaf in one ear.  That was a lot of fun.  As I got older, my lying continued.  I enjoyed people's reactions to my seemingly amazing life.  When I was 15 that all changed.  I met someone I really looked up to (he was 17).  He became a mentor for me as I began my foray into the astral world.  He's the one who helped me raise my vibration so the "ookie spookies" wouldn't bother me.  He's the one who put me on the path of honesty and integrity.  And he did it by hurting me so badly that I changed instantly.  Here's what happened.


In my usual fashion, I told him lies just like I had been telling other people.  I made up elaborate stories to get him to be more interested in me because I wasn't sure the truth would be enough to make him want to continue working with me.  But he knew me so well, probably better than I knew myself.  One day he told me, "I can't talk to you on the phone anymore because I can't see your eyes and so I'm not sure when you're lying to me."  That really shocked me.  One, because I didn't know he knew I had been lying to him sometimes, and two, because he was willing to end our friendship over those lies.  I vowed in that moment that I would never lie to him again.  It was a hard transition for me to make because I was used to exaggerating stories and experiences to get attention.  But for him, and for his wise counsel, I made a pact with myself never to tell even one single white lie to him again.  In time, his trust in me was rebuilt and we enjoyed a great friendship and relationship.

That's how I learned the value of honesty.  I decided that I would honor the truth.  I decided that the truth was powerful and strong, and that lies merely created a false foundation that could crumble at the slightest poking.  I realized that I felt more powerful when I told the truth.  I felt like I was helping to build reality instead of creating a false Matrix-like reality.  As Merlin said in the movie, Excalibur, to Arthur, "When a man lies, he murders some part of the world."  It's true.  Every lie you tell alters the universe and makes it unreal.

In my 20′s, I had a friend who was a pathological liar.  Her life was based on lies and the elaborateness of her lies would put my early days to shame.  We discussed honesty a lot, and I told her that I couldn't trust that she was telling me the truth since she told me so often of the lies she was telling other people.  In a way, I did to her what my mentor did to me.  I told her that I couldn't be her friend unless I knew I could trust her.  She asked me how to be honest all the time.  My answer was simple:
Never do something you will have to lie about later.  If you have to lie about it, you shouldn't be doing it.

After all, if you feel good about what you're doing, why would you lie about it?  Don't we lie when we are ashamed of who we are or what we've done? 
 

Make your life something you don't need to lie about.  Value truth and honesty.  Decide from this day forward that you will be completely honest and truthful in all your dealings (with others and yourself).  Imagine what our world would be like if no one lied.  Help create that world by honoring the truth

[www.keralites.net] Apple and Google Gadgets to measure Blood Pressure, ECG, Glucose & Heart Rate

 

Why go to clinic for ECG, BP or stress checkup when you've Apple and Google gadgets

Tech majors' gadgets will measure ECG, blood pressure, glucose, blood biomarkers, heart rate, fatigue and even your mood

 

Can a smartphone save your life? The answer is "Yes" – and it will be more relevant in the coming years as technology companies are in a race to develop solutions that can predict and detect the possibility and level of an illness.

Current available solutions vary from measuring your heart-beat to analyzing stress levels to wirelessly monitor blood pressure to the amount of oxygen intake.

Diabetic patients appear to be the immediate beneficiaries as work is on towards development of various solutions that can help monitor their blood sugar levels.

The latest announcement came from Google when it announced that it was working on a project, testing a smart contact lens that's built to measure glucose levels in tears.

According to the company the prototypes that they are testing uses a tiny wireless chip and miniaturized glucose sensor that are embedded between two layers of soft contact lens material and can generate a reading once per second.

"We're also investigating the potential for this to serve as an early warning for the wearer, so we're exploring integrating tiny LED lights that could light up to indicate that glucose levels have crossed above or below certain thresholds. It's still early days for this technology, but we've completed multiple clinical research studies which are helping to refine our prototype. We hope this could someday lead to a new way for people with diabetes to manage their disease," the note said.

Apple meanwhile is said to be working on multiple solutions that can make the iPhone or the wearable device it is working on equipped to measure ECG, blood pressure, glucose, blood biomarkers, heart rate, fatigue and even your mood.

The iPhone 5s already has seven inbuilt sensors while the Android powered Samsung S4 has nine. Smartphones equipped with greater processing powers have the ability to read data from multiple sensors.

According to reports there are already about 43,000 health related apps listed on the Apple App Store. And with more to come it is just a matter of time before your local clinic will be filled with staff who will be analyzing your mobile data.
