Hi UI2s
This is the story that I had promised to post here and I expect you to send your reaction towards it. Just to give you an idea of what you are expected to do: you can write your own experiences or feelings towards God (or the Divine being)
cheers

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand; one belonging to him,
and the other to the LORD.When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked backed at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it.
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me." The Lord replied,
"My precious, precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
written by Carolyn Joyce Carty, 1922

This real story effected me. I have experienced it alot in my life and I really believe it.
The last time Lord carried me and I felt was in my first lecture in front of my classmates and my master.(specially males)Before that I was really embarrassed and stressful. I wanted my god to help me and trusted to him. From the begining till end I forgot the audiences! I really felt I was in the sky!!!

What a beautiful , meaningful poet . It is so impressive . Seeing our life scene in the sky is wonderful , something that we can see in fiction movies . It remind us that the LORD always is with us even at the time we get into trouble and we think we have left behind . We should remember that God always see us , carry us and support us .
Hope to believe God and Don't forget God all the time
Amin

What a thoughtful story.
O' Lord you are with us but most of the time we forgot you.
Yes we have a lord that every time is with us.
We should remember that always we have something in our heart that we just say to our lord always he listens to us carefully.
In every stressful situation we directly go to our lord and he gives us a succor in distress.
But I wonder how many of us remember our lord in happiness?????????
However he is with us and helps.
He was carried me a lot and I want to say that thanks to be god for everything.

I always feel that God is near me he is near to us & he is more near than our Aorta.I think that if someone because of some defects and stoths be in omission it is jast for that they are guilty.
We know that God support us because he is in our hearts.

Hi my dears,
First I should say that my trip however short is nice. I know that you are missing me! I can understand you very well!!!!!!!!! I can be in others shoes very well! You know me, I’m sure!
As I promised you I should give you some news about my trip and how it is!
I have very nice time with my family, after some busy time and problems that I had in university that's a good situation to leave all of tiredness that I had and I’ll come back with full energy to enjoy my summer as good as possible! I hope so!
However I have a fantastic time but I miss all of you and English. Please believe me my nice teacher and my nice friends.
But about the story I should say:

That is what I think about it most of the time! As all of us know all of us have some problems in our life which we suffer from them, and when we face them the first things that refer to our mind are that god had forgotten us and doesn’t love us more. Yes the story is fantastic! The first time and the first person that said was last year one of our best masters.
When we are disappointed we can attention to this point. My nice dears: that’s enough we think if god wants to not open the doors which we are facing them at that time there wouldn’t be any door and instead of them would be all walls!!!!
Sometimes that I think I ask myself that why god carry some ones all the time? That’s the question that refers my mind mostly! Maybe that is a secret between god and his loves!
Finally I should say I will glad to come back and see you again as soon as possible!
Have a nice time without the noisiest and ... one!
I take that place empty that what you yourself have in your heart put there!!!!
Your sincerely

Hi dear teacher,sorry for posting these comments on this page!!!!I'll post its own comment later!Ghosts couch!
Twenty years ago Jackson was married one month before and his wife was waiting for him in hotel. He has been shooting on high hill in north of England with out any success. It was late at night the weather was cold, snowing and is going to get dark. He had lost his way and was afraid, so he walked with his gun. He saw a light when arrived near the lightness he saw an old man. Jackson asked him about…….. and the nearest village. Old man answered he have 20 mills until …. And 12till nearest village, he asked if he can stay at his house until morning, my master won’t accept. Jackson fallowed the old man and entered behind him into the house. When master asked about Jackson he answered he hasn’t brought him. Therefore he told Jackson who are you? Why you are here? He answered because of saving my life! They gave Jackson dinner, then guided him to catch the couch that is going to……..
Master sent his servant with him to show the road, during walking old man explained about a cutch accident, which fell into the valley, and all of its passengers had died the driver died the next morning. By that time my master has broken. Old man showed the road and came back. He was walking so saw a cutch light and tried to stop the cutch. Driver stopped and he opened the door and got on. None of them helped and spoke him. He couldn’t make them to speak. after all he felt anxiety, and a bad smell, all place of cutch was dirty and old and people were like dead man .He tried to open the door and jumped out, but he only saw darkness and heard men’s’ and horses’ scream.
When he woke up from a deeply sleeping he saw his wife, she explained that his cutch had an accident, fortunately he had fallen on the snow and people had saved him. He didn’t say any thing to his wife, but told to the doctor, and he didn’t believe.
Jackson says, I don’t try to make people believe my story, but I’m sure I was traveling with ghost cutch 20 years ago.

Studying for an important examination!
A student who called Mon decided to go somewhere and study for exam, he didn’t choose an amusement seaside or a beautiful country side. He decided to find a quiet place in an ordinary town, so he packed his suitcase, clothes and books, and then looked at the railway’s table. He found one that didn’t know! And didn’t say anyone where he is going. He bought a ticket to go there. He arrived to Ben church a market town that was too busy once a week and the rest of week very quiet. He went to only hotel was no enough quiet for him, but a very kind and helpful landlady, so on the second day he went to find house, and found one that was very quiet, disaster and too old from 1770, but he liked it. The responsible of house wanted to give the house free because of foolish stories about it and proving the wrong of stories. He paid the rent and came back to hotel. The landlady Mrs. Wood asked about place and surprised when she heard the judge’s house. She explained about a cruel and honing judge that lived there long time ago, and added there are many ghosts into it. She did some shopping for him and took Mrs,Demster for managing his house and feed. Mrs Demster didn’t accept ghosts and said there are a lot of rats and windows are opened by wind, don’t worried you will be comfortable in this house. When he returned to the house it was clean and dinner table was ready. She went and the student began studying after dinner, every thing was excellent, food, tea and fire. When he was studying he heard rat’s voice on the roof, at the moment the sound stopped he saw an enormous rat behind the chair was staring at him angry, he throw the book to it and the rat ran away and disappeared in darkness. It happened again the next night, when he went to hotel from park to see the landlady there was a doctor who Mrs. Wood had invited him to see student if he had some problems. When Mon told them something about rats’ party they were afraid and doctor gave some advice to student. He told that rob is the hanging rob! Doctor asked him to use the alarm if he felt danger. Unfortunately he couldn’t. At night during study he saw the big rat again and ran away across the judge’s picture that was washed by madam Demster.that night he saw the judge is coming toward him, hundreds of rats are watching could do nothing. His icy fingers around his neck and the rob was fallen around his neck and stood him on the chair and pull the chair away and hung him. As the alarm went off doctor and many people with torches came to the house and broke the door and entered, but it was too late. They saw student’s body hanging into the air.

Confession of Charles Linquet
Charles was living with his mother and his wife, old lady wasn’t reach but she had found 500 pounds. Charles and his mother always had argue with each other. His wife was in trip to see her relationship. After a violent argues he struggled his mother and killed her then buried into the garden behind shop. As his mother wanted to go London he packed her suitcase and sent to London by rail station. When his wife returned he told her that he has had a bad argue with his mother so she has gone to London and didn’t give him any address or phone number! His wife believed his acceptable story about old lady. Charles was claver so he didn’t pay the money at first; he gave old lady’s room to rent, and tended the income of shop is good. One day post officer brought the lady’s suitcase which had stayed in station for a long time to her address and Mrs. Linquet got it, after that Charles reported police that his mother has lost.
Police arrested him but he said nothing! He was quiet calm and silent, the Judge who was in his trial condemned him to death and they did his hanging, every body believed that he is guilty but he didn’t accept by himself! The prison’s doctor saw him and confirmed his death, but he felt an unseen presence! The hanging rob was lost .doctor Tisder was an unmarried and lived with some ones who did his works, he was at his house that the phone rang, but he received no voice, he asked from operator and he said it was from prison, he asked from prison but they said they didn’t have any phone from there. next day it happened again but this time he heard some crying voice that wanted to talk with chaplain, doctor invited the chaplain, of course he didn’t believe but when the phone rang and he talked with Charles who said I killed my mother and asked forgiveness, he changed his idea! Then they saw death Charles with broken neck and redline on his neck and the hanging rob was on the floor, they were afraid. He disappeared very soon; the phone operator in prison had seen Charles too. They wanted to take that rob but it was lost again!

MY LORD!!!!!
I can certainly say he (or she?) loves me very much, because I don’t disturb him with more asking!
He always helps me because I don’t want more things from him!
I don’t want him to prepare some good things for me, I want him to prevent of happening bad events for me!
I don’t forget him when I’m happy and satisfied!
I don’t remember him only in my sadness and neediness!
I feel his presence much especially when I’m alone!
I ‘m aware on my weaknesses and faults in my failure, He’s not guilty!
I believe my abilities and positive points, he just watches me and I am thankful to him!
I don’t bother him to carry me; a lot of people are badly in need of him!
Best wishes

I dreamed I had an interview with God
“So you would like to interview” God asked .
If you have time I said .
God smiled “ My time is eternity ,what question do you have in mind for me” ?
What surprises you most about humankind ? I asked .
God answered :
“That they get bored with childhood , they rush to grow up ,and then long to be children again” .
“That they lose their health to make money ,and then lose their money to restore their health” .
“That by thinking anxiously about the future , they forget the present”.
“that they live as if , they will never die , and die as though they had never lived” .
We were silent for a while …..and then I asked :
As a parent , what are some of life`s lesson , you want your children to learn ?
God answered :
“To learn they connot make anyone love them , all they can do is , let themselves be loved” .
“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others” .
“To learn to forgive , by practicing forgiveness” .
“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most , but is one who needs the least” .
“To learn that there are people who love them dearly ,but simply do not yet know how to express or show their feeling” .
“To learn that two people can look at the same things and see it differently” .
“To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one anther ,but they must also , forgive themselves” .
Thank you for your time , I said humbly .
Is there anything else ? you would like your children to know ?
God smiled and said :
Just know that I am here “ALWAYS”

Hi dear teacher!
Before starting it’s necessary to say that I lost my wallet in Tehran with some money, documents and my dears’ photos into, so I describe my regret as homework.
If I had been more careful, I wouldn’t have lost my wallet, and if I hadn’t lost my wallet I wouldn’t have had to take a new driving license, I think if I had closed my handbag’s jip they couldn’t have stolen my wallet. So if I hadn’t lost my driving license I could have driven my car! Now I have to spend a lot of times and expenses to get a mew one!
Nevertheless I’m happy now, because if I had put more things in my wallet I might have been so sorry.
Best wishes

Full cecko(of course I’m not sure about name of story),
Linthen and me were walking in a place that was so beautiful, with tiny lake, green hills, trees with red and gold leaves, green grass, stone walls sunshine and a house like a jeweler on a ring!
I asked him who has built the house! Lord karteron in 1660.he answered, He didn’t like the city So he chose here for living, he employed the best builders and gardeners to make there so beautiful, then stayed there for months with friends and books. He wrote some book in English and Latin. He was a selfish man, he did only one bad thing in his life that became Catholic, that was dungarees. Then, Catholic weren’t enough popular, but nobody punished him because of it! He had a chapel in his house .Hw didn’t have any children so when he died his cousins moved there. They enjoyed hunting and fishing but they didn’t take care of library. John was my friend when he was 70 something went wrong in his stomach, doctor forbid him drinking Vicky, although he didn’t drink heavily but he was enjoying from it and refused no drinking! So he died 2 years ago.
After him, Giffens moved there, do you know him and his wife? They wrote some books about society and personal relationlship Asked linthen .at moment they heard a bicycle’s wheel’s voice, that was Julian Giffen>Linthen asked him if he show the house to me, he took us into the house for a tea ,we saw his wife a worry woman with eyes like bird and tumbled hands! She told me I have a. home with unmarried mothers in London I’ll bring them here. He showed us all part of house and a chapel. After tea we left the house. I loved house very much.
2 years later I was fishing into the lake so I saw the Giffen he invited me to his house for dinner, they had fresh vegetable with excellent wine, Mrs., Giffen was different from before, a lot of things had changed. The work room had become smoke room he had a car instead of bicycle and etc.
Some later Linthen told me to go to Giffen’s house to see what do they do? There was a picture on the wall that was look like Julian when I asked about it he explained its Lord karteran’s picture I’ve bought, it for so much money I wanted to know who has built the house. we have fallen in love with him.
They had made the smoke room as a church his wife had become a Catholic. She invited me for Christmas dance party. They were exactly under Lord Karteron influence. I could feel his presence there. When I sat on my comfortable chair I saw Mr. and Mrs. Giffen like actors were playing movie in front of my eyes, then they disappeared. When we came out Linthen said I should study every thing. About Karteron,it’s too mysterious. And the house is managed as he wanted .
