Can you sleep when the wind blows?

Have to share this beautiful story. Take time to read it!

Years ago, a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic . They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic , wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops.

As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received A steady stream of refusals. Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached the farmer. “Are you a good farm hand?” the farmer asked him. “Well, I can sleep when the wind blows,” answered the little man.

Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help,Hired him. The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man’s work.

Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand’s sleeping quarters. He shook the little man and yelled, “Get up! A storm is coming!Tie things down before they blow away!”

The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, “No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows.”

Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarpaulins. The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, and the doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down. Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew.

When you’re prepared, spiritually, mentally, and physically,you have nothing to fear. Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life?

The hired hand in the story was able to sleep because he had secured the farm against the storm.We secure ourselves against the storms of life by grounding ourselves in the Word of God. We don’t need to understand, we just need to hold His hand to have peace in the middle of storms.

A friend of mine sent this to me today,and I enjoyed it so much, that I want to send it to you.I hope you enjoy your day and you sleep well.

Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? –unless indeed you are disqualified. 2Cor. 13:5

Love going to Art Gallery

thoughts and ideas No Comments »

I love watching trade shows and exhibits especially if they are presenting arts. It just amazed me on how these artists use their skills and imagination to create a wonderful work of art. I have been visiting different galleries and I always have a good time.

While doing some internet hopping, I came across this site that specializes in paintings. The thought of art just pop in my mind that time and my hands just voluntarily type the word art galleries. I really appreciate every minute; looking at the different works of art especially the works of canadian artists. Although, I don’t understand French, I take time to search for translator so I would understand my favorite painting title “L’entrée du village” which means “The town entry”. It’s made of oil and it demonstrates an entry to an old village. Well, every time I look at the paint, it feels like it transports me back to that old village since it depicts the real scenario of a long time village. Well, I congratulate canadian painters for their very good work. I continue to splurge my eyes to the beautiful arts around the internet. If I have extra money, I will surely buy the painting I said earlier. That is, if it is still available by that time.

Tired of blow-dries that stress your strands and make you want to pull your hair out? Here are some do-it-right tips:

  • Prep your tresses: Drying sopping-wet hair can cause breakage. Instead, first pat gently with a towel until dump, not dripping. Next, shield hair and lock in luster with a product containing strand strengtheners, such as vitamin B (aka panthenol) or soy protein.
  • Protect your ‘do from damage: Skip superhigh heat; only go as hot as you can take on the back of your hand for five seconds. For va-va-voom volume, hold hair at the angle in which it grows: top sections up, side sections out, etc. Move downward from roots to steal in shine and calm flyaways.
  • Make your style stick: When strands feel almost dry, start styling. Wrap hair around your tress tool and hit with high heat for 30 seconds, then blast with cold air to lock shape in place.

The Perfect Brow

beauty tips No Comments »

Before you pluck or tweeze, begin by mapping where the brow line should be.

  1. Looking straight into mirror, place a pencil vertically along the bone on the left side of your nose; with tweezers, pluck anything that lies to the right of the pencil. Repeat on the right side, removing hairs that lie to the left of the pencil. The space between the brows should be equal to, or a little smaller than, the width of your eye.
  2. Next place the pencil directly along the outer corner of your pupil. Where the pencil meets the brows is where the arch should be – ideally three-quarters along the brow.
  3. To determine length, place the pencil diagonally from bottom of nose toward temple. This is where brow should end. Trim long hairs with scissors; groom with brush.
