"Comforting Thoughts for the Soul" by Stanley P. Ho

These comforting words were from an Internet posting. The original message was written in both English and Chinese. Instead of copying the English version directly from the original to my blog, I decide to see if I can somewhat capture the essences of these profound messages in some of my own words.

1. Like the “steering wheel” of a car, prayer directs us onto the right path.

2. Future is more important than the past. The author said this is why a car’s windshield is much   larger than its rear-view mirror.

3. Friendship is like a book. It will take us years to build but split seconds to destroy.

4. The ups and downs in life do not last forever. So make sure enjoy the good ones and stop worrying the bad ones.

5. Cherish our old friends. They are the gold that holds the diamonds we found in our new friends

6. When we hit the rock bottom, do not despair. It is just one of the bumps that God leaves there along the way.

7 When God answers our prayers, we have trust in God. When God does not answer our prayer, he has faith in us. This explains why bad things happened to good people.

8. St. Anthony told a blind person, the worst thing in life is to lose one’s vision.

9. God listens to our prayers to protect and bless others. God listens to the prayers of others to keep us happy and well.

10. Worrying is a futile and ruinous exercise. It can only exacerbate the pains.
