I read "Life is an echo" today and had to
share! LIFE IS AN ECHO! What we say and do reflects back onto us. I do try to
live in a way that God would find pleasing. BUT there are times that people
just work on my last nerve..My worldly desire is to put them in their place (if
ya know what I mean...
..) However the
closer I get to God, I try to pray about it instead of act on it.

Living in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina is NOT easy.
The devastation has torn people apart. The sadness has turned to anger in
many. The frustration of losing homes, businesses we need to go to have never
reopened, traffic is a mess, and we've lost sooooo many people. We get
agrivated easily and every single person in the city has been affected mentally
and emotionally and this article just reminds me that I really need to try even
harder these days to watch my reactions to situations because it is a
reflection. God Bless you ALL!
All my neighbors in New
Orleans...Let's pray for peace, patience, and for God to come into our
hearts. Our homes may be destroyed, our lives are in chaos, we've lived almost
a year in destruction, but God is with us and He's leading us to VICTORY!
AMEN!!!!!
LIFE IS AN ECHO
A son and his father were walking in the mountains. Suddenly, his son
falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
To his surprise, hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the
mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"
He receives the answer: "Who are you?"

falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
To his surprise, hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the
mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"
He receives the answer: "Who are you?"
Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"
He receives the answer: "Coward!"
He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"
The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention." And then he
screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"
The voice answers: "I admire you!"
Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"
The voice answers: "You are a champion!"
The boy is surprised, but does not understand. Then the father
explains: "People call this echo, but really this is life. It gives
you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of
our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in
your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your
competence.
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspect of life; life
will give you back everything you have given to it."
