20 Powerful Short Stories on "Life Is Beautiful!!!"

After reading this, you must agree with the writer that LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL... enjoy this piece below...

                       

• Today, as he squeezed my hand in his final moments of life, my dad stared into my teary eyes and said, “Please think of me. Please remember, death ends my life, not our relationship.”
• Today, on New Years Eve, at 11PM it will have been exactly 58 years since that night I was sitting at a beach watching the fireworks alone. I was crying because the father of my unborn child left me. A man walked up to me, sat down, and said, "I don't know who made you cry, but I would make them cry if I could." It was a corny line, and there was lots of other small talk. But we married a year later and lived a happy life together, until this morning when he passed away at the age of 78. RIP Richard.

A beautiful true love story

I stumbled on this story on line, it was posted on a facebook page, and i decided to share it on the blog, i hope you find it interesting enough....

                                          

One day, a young guy and a young girl fell in love.

But the guy came from a poor family. The girl’s parents weren't too happy.

So the young man decided not only to court the girl but to court her parents as well. In time, the parents saw that he was a good man and was worthy of their daughter’s hand.

But there was another problem: The man was a soldier. Soon, war broke out and he was being sent overseas for a year. The week before he left, the man knelt on his knee and asked his lady love, “Will you marry me?” She wiped a tear, said yes, and they were engaged. They agreed that when he got back in one year, they would get married.

But tragedy struck. A few days after he left, the girl had a major vehicular accident. It was a head-on collision.

Ebola virus....things you need to know

we all know that information is power, hence the need to share this very useful piece of information I found on Fox news about Ebola virus, so as to enable us all to live prudently.

Ebola, officially known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a severe disease caused by the Ebola virus that was first recognized in Africa in 1976.

Early symptoms can include fever, headache, joint and muscle aches, sore throat and weakness, followed by diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In some cases, the disease causes rashes, red eyes, hiccups and internal and external bleeding, the CDC says.

Day 31- Grace says "I always do my best to be happy everyday"

As I write this second to the last master piece via #31days31epistles, yes, I said second to the last because I still have one more mind blowing experience that will be uploaded later today. Taking a quick reflection on how this project kicked-off, I started getting very emotional, because I initially thought this was not going to be a successful project because of the negative responses received from some friends, but I still pressed on, and as God will have it, we have more write ups-pending, and I promise to share them, maybe not in this program but as the days in 2014 roll by.

Today, out first writer is a dear friend, happily engaged to a man that always places her in cloud 9, lol, you know what I mean, right?. She is always happy around him, and he completes her. She is a medical student, all the way from Russian (note that our blog is going international, it is one step at a time). Grace is a friend that I planned seeing when she came to Nigeria, but one thing led to another and I couldn’t, though, I am sure we shall meet soon, maybe during her wedding next year (prophetically), lol. Ladies and gentlemen, for the second to the last piece via this project I give you. Adedigba Grace.. Enjoy her epistle below.

Day 30- Melvin says 2014 taught him the difference between Time and Ignorance.

The pursuit of happiness, is a die-hard endevour. A lot of people miss the mark, some focus on the wrong things, others like Melvin (GTB's writer for today) never loose focus. Holding on to what is most important and sieving the useless or less important stuffs aside.

Just yesterday, I and a couple of friends went to catch some fun at the beach (the write up tagged "the beach experience" will elucidate more to this story), we needed to play hard, since we had also worked hard. There is nothing bad in having some "me" time, it helps to add more meaning to living. Today's writer is my good friend, all the way from Iganmode Grammar School,Ota, and I am glad he is writing today. I told Melvin about the project #31days31epistles, and after a bit of discussion, he promised to send this in, and i am grateful for that, do enjoy his epistle..

Day 29- Adetola exclaims "2014, my year of Smiles"

I have always learnt that "a smile opens doors", so in all I do, I always breeze out a cozy smile, and sincerely, doors had been opened with this single ingredient. As the month of June comes to an end and the project #31days31epistles goes to its tail end, you must always recall one thing, even if you may forget others, Never ever stop smiling.

Today's epistle is a special person to me, her name is Adetola Adenusi, a graduate of Babcock university, a special personality, smiles a lot and I call her "my ruby", enjoy her "smile-filled" epistle below......

Day 28- Chukwumeka says "I will be the biggest ingrate in this world if....."

                                                    
Have you ever woken up one morning, thinking about all that have happened to you within a short period of time?, have you heard a lot of people testify about something that barely took you like a seconds to achieve? Is your answer to any of this questions, Yes?, then you shouldn't fret, because you are not the only one in the same situation, Emeka too passed through this same mysterious phenomena, He is Single, engaged or maybe complicated, i do not even know self, but one thing i am sure of is that, he is a superb personality, All the way from Canada, we have Chukwuemeka, see his epistle below for more.......

I will be the biggest ingrate in this world if I don’t give God the glory for an epic year so far. He has been a friend, a pilot, a provider, a comforter, a teacher and many more to me. I had a fun filled end of 2013 with a bit of mixed feelings about the death and burial of my grand-mother.

When worship goes bad- 16 church members suffocate, one dies at service

Some news one hears and shakes his/her head, looks up and says "what type of this", recently read this piece news bad news and decided to share with you.

       
On Saturday, the 26th of July, 2014, a very poignant situation erupted as a six year old boy was confirmed dead while 16 other members are receiving treatment for suffocation after they inhaled carbon monoxide fumes from a generator. The generator was being used during the worship (thanks to our epileptic power supply) beside the poorly ventilated auditorium belonging to the Young People's Christian Fellowship in Aba, Abia state, Nigeria.

Day 27- Seye says its been a strange year.

Today is the last Sunday in the month of July, and we are gradually strolling to the end of this month , and sadly enough we will be concluding this project, #31days31epistles.

Its day 27, and the showers of blessing should have fallen on all those on a payroll, so please try to drop your tithe in church, and give your best in any ongoing project. The truth is that one of the laws of nature stipulates that when you give, you will recieve. Though, it is important to give whole-heartedly and not sadly or murmuring or greedily.

On today's epistle, we shall be reading the epistle of a giver, a cheerful one at that too. She is a dear friend, very jovial young single  lady (not sure tho). Seye is a superb lady, a good christian. I recall when i needed a place to stay that will be close to my place of work, I and Seye, went to some friends and made some requests, though, they did not turn out well, but i was very glad that she took out time from her busy schedules to attend to my immediate need, and for that i placed her as my number one friend. When i told Seye of this project, she was very busy and even down with cold, though I persuaded her not to worry about the project and focus on her being healthy but she refused and promised to send in the write up below. Its not much but her few words of wisdom will strike you to action. Enjoy her epistle below.
