Wake Up : Are You missing God's blessings !!


Wake Up : Are You missing God's blessings !!
A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.

Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, Bhagavad-gita. Angrily,
he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you
give me a Bhagavad-gita?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy
book.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business.
He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.

He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Bhagavad-gita, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bhagavad-gita and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Bhagavad-gita.
It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation
And the words...PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?

Marvelous Answer ..


Marvelous answer . . .

A mechanic was removing the cylinder heads from the motor of a car when he spotted the famous heart surgeon in his shop, who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager to come to take a look at his car.


The mechanic shouted across the garage," Hello Doctor!! Please come over here for a minute."

The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic.

The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked argumentatively, "So doctor, look at this. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I finish this will work as a new one. So how come you get the big money, when you and me is doing basically the same work? "


The doctor leaned over and whispered to the mechanic.....
