Vriendschap ...
Wanneer vriendschap eenmaal diep is geworteld ,
is zij een plant die door geen enkele storm
kan worden ontworteld..

Jouw glimlach
LAAT JE GLIMLACH DE WERELD VERANDEREN
MAAR LAAT DE WERELD NIET JE GLIMLACH VERANDEREN

Geloof, hoop en liefde
Maar de grootste kracht is de LIEFDE

Hemel en aarde
Een oudere heer terwijl hij aan zijn koffie nipt: "Nu hebben ze al het hele heelal doorzocht en nergens iets gevonden." Waarop de passerende gastenpater langs zijn neus weg antwoordt: "Nu hebben ze al miljoenen harten opengelegd en geopereerd, en nog altijd geen liefde gevonden."

Op de verjaardag van mijn broer vandaag...
... heeft deze (helaas) een heel bijzondere betekenis gekregen, want nooit meer zal zijn dochter nog de verjaardag van haar vader mogen vieren...Voor wie het ontgaan is, surf maar eens naar de maand mei.

Ben jij Christen? Lees tot het einde.
Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?...
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent.)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Is satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor: Where does satan come from ?
Student : From … GOD …
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor: So who created evil ?
(Student did not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them ?
(Student had no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter. )
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.
P.S.
I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?
Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.
By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?...
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

LIEFDE... de sleutel tot...
Zo begon mijn blog destijds, en je geraakt er nooit over uitgeschreven of uitgezongen.
Daarom zegt een foto soms meer!
Vrijdag 29 november 2013
Geloven
Geloof, dat is geloven dat uw leven zinvol is.
Ook alle bochten die je genomen hebt.
Geloof in jezelf, blijf geloven in de weg die je gaat.
Keert uw karre niet, versuf niet.
Blijf overeind!

gevoelens
Die kun je niet zomaar aan- en afzetten.

WOORDEN
Een vriendelijk antwoord doet woede bedaren,
krenkende woorden wakkeren toorn aan.

Geluk kan je delen
Wie zich gelukkig voelt met het geluk van anderen,
bezit een rijkdom zonder grenzen.

Ondanks zijn 87 jaar
Won mijn vader de ereprijs van de Volkstuinen, in het bijzonder voor zijn tachtig fruitbomen, en het net onderhouden gras ertussen....

Ondanks zijn 87 jaar
behaalde mijn vader dit jaar de ereprijs van de Volkstuinen! Proficiat papa!

Tijd en eeuwigheid
Een graf, een uirne, en wat as...
Het is als zand dat
door je vingers gleed,
vergeefs omkneld,
te laat gekust.
Een bloem, een krans,
een stil gebed
en 't prevelen van een naam.
En dan de vraag waarop
geen mens een antwoord weet.
Thuis brandt een kaars
als om het duister dat
van binnen zit, te weren.
Een vlam, een foto
en een levensgroot gemis.
Meer dan optelsom van jaren
is leven een verhaal,
zo boeiend dat het,
eenmalig, niet anders
dan voorbij kan gaan.
Een graf, een urne en wat as...
Het is als zand dat in jouw hart
als in warme grond,
weer vruchtbaar wordt.
Jouw levensmoed,
nieue glimlach naar het leven,
is echo van zijn/haar levenslied.
Steek vanavond God,
weer al uw sterren aan.
Wij mogen met z'n allen wonen
in dezelfde ruimte,
zelfde tijd en eeuwigheid.

Alors VIVONS!
Un seul sourire nous donne la joie,
alors sourions !
Un seulmerci nous fait du bien,
alors remercions !
Un seul mot encouragement nous donne confiance,
alors encourageons !
Un seul enfant souriant nous rends heureux,
alors retrouvons notre cœur d’enfant !
Un seul pasdans la bonne direction nous fait grandir,
alors marchons !
Un seul ami nous rends fort,
alors soyons des amis !
Un seul geste d’amour nous donne des ailes,
alors aimons !
Une seule vie pour tous cela,
alors VIVONS !

Troosten
Troosten is een kunst van het hart.
Vaak volstaat het om liefdevol te zwijgen,
en zwijgend mee te lijden.
