Dr. Benjamin Solomon Carson Sr. an American politician, public
servant, author and retired neurosurgeon serving as the 17th
United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development since
2017, wrote this beautiful piece.
Read and be blessed.
“Sometimes you are unsatisfied with your life, while many people
in this world are dreaming of living your life.
A child on a farm sees a plane fly overhead and dreams of flying.
But, a pilot on the plane sees the farmhouse and dreams of
returning home. That's life!! Enjoy yours.
If wealth is the secret to happiness, then the rich should be
dancing on the streets. But only poor kids do that.
If power ensures security, then officials should walk unguarded.
But those who live simply, sleep soundly.
If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships, then celebrities
should have the best marriages. But those who live simply, walk
humbly and love genuinely!
All good will come back to you!!!
Man asks, “Where was God when Myles Munroe, wife and his
associates were killed in a crash? He answers, "The same place I
sat when John the Baptist my servant was beheaded. When
Stephen my servant was stoned to death. When Paul my servant
was murdered in Rome. The same place I sat when my only Son
was brutally crucified, wounded, bruised and killed. I
have not moved from my position."
I am the same. It is not the means of exit from earth that
matters but the
destination. Live simply. It's all about God!!
I love this one: If someone asks about your educational
background, proclaim boldly that: Church is my college. Heaven is
my university. Father God is my counselor. Jesus is my principal.
Holy Spirit is my teacher. Angels are my classmates. Bible is my
textbook. Temptations are my exams. Overcoming Satan is my
hobby. Winning souls for God is my assignment. Receiving
eternity is my degree. Praise and Worship are my slogan. If you
are a child of God bless you!”
