Cake

A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing algebra and her best friend is moving away. Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, 'Absolutely Mom, I love your cake.'

'Here, have some cooking oil,' her Mother offers.'Yuck' says her daughter.
'How about a couple raw eggs?' 'Gross, Mom!'
'Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?' 'Mom, those are all yucky!'

To which the mother replies:
'Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the
right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! '
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult
times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just
have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!

God is crazy about you.
He sends you flowers every spring and
a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen.
He can live anywhere in the universe,
and He chose your heart.

10 Rules...

1. TODAY I WILL NOT STRIKE BACK: 

If someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is unkind...I will not respond in a like manner. 

2. TODAY I WILL ASK GOD TO BLESS MY "ENEMY": 

If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, I will quietly ask God to bless that individual. I understand the "enemy" could be a family member, neighbor, co-worker, or a stranger. 

3. TODAY I WILL BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I SAY: 

I will carefully choose and guard my words being certain that I do not spread gossip. 

4. TODAY I WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE: 

I will find ways to help share the burden of another person. 

5. TODAY I WILL FORGIVE: 

I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way. 

6. TODAY I WILL DO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE, BUT I WILL NOT DO IT SECRETLY: 

I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another. 

7. TODAY I WILL TREAT OTHERS THE WAY I WISH TO BE TREATED: 

I will practice the golden rule - "Do unto others as I would have them do unto me" - with everyone I encounter. 

8. TODAY I WILL RAISE THE SPIRITS OF SOMEONE I DISCOURAGED: 

My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the difference to someone who is wrestling life. 

9. TODAY I WILL NUTURE MY BODY: 

I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank God for my body. 

10. TODAY I WILL GROW SPIRITUALLY: 

I will spend a little more time in prayer today: I will begin reading something spiritual or inspirational today; I will find a quiet place (at some point during the day)!

COCONUT WATER

Coconut Water Hydrates the Body

Coconut water is an isotonic solution which replaces the fluids and minerals that the body loses during physical activities. For this reason, many athletes and persons who work out regularly are encouraged to drink coconut water to replace all the minerals and fluid that they lose while working out. Even the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) attest to the benefits of drinking coconut water when it fought for a patent in 2000 to market coconut water as the next big sports drinks.

Coconut Water Relieves Urinary Problems

If you consume coconut water on a regular basis it can reduce urinary problems. People who suffer from strangury, polyutra and other urinary ailments drink coconut water to relieve their symptoms.

Coconut Water Kills Intestinal  Worms

Drinking coconut water with one teaspoon of olive oil for three days will kill intestinal worms and clear the stomach of worms, which makes for better digestion.

Coconut Water Breaks up Kidney Stones

People who have kidney problems and are plagued by kidney stones should drink coconut water in addition to taking their medication. Drinking coconut water regularly helps to break up kidney stones making them easier to push out.

Coconut Water is Used in Blood Transfusion

Coconut water is almost identical to blood plasma and this makes it easy to use for blood transfusion. In cases of emergency coconut water has been used as an intravenous hydration fluid instead of the standard IV fluid. During World War II many wounded soldiers were saved in the Pacific because of emergency transfusion using coconut water as plasma.

Coconut Water is an Antibacterial

Coconut water contains monolaurin, an antiviral, antibacterial and antiprozoal monoglyceride that is used to kill lipid-coated viruses such as HIV, Herpes, cytomegalovirus, flu and various pathogenic bacteria.

Coconut Water Controls Vomiting

Coconut water is great at reducing vomiting. People who have typhoid, malaria, fevers or other ailments that are known to induce vomiting drink coconut water to settle the stomach. As such, coconut water is also a good thing to drink during a hangover.

Green or unripe coconuts can be found in Asian and West Indian markets. All coconuts that they sell are closed up to keep coconut water from losing its nutrients. So, if you plan on buying a coconut, you can ask someone to chop the coconut open or you can open it yourself at home and drink it.
