Here's a good inspirational message. Keep it in your hearts.
Death was walking toward a city one morning and a man asked,
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to take 100 people." Death replied. "That's
horrible!" the man said.
"That's the way it is." Death said. "That's what I do."
The man hurried to warn everyone he could about Death's plan.
As evening fell, he met Death again. "You told me you were
going to take 100 people," the man said. "Why did 1,000
die?"
"I kept my word," Death responded. "I only took 100 people.
Worry took the others."
This interesting tale portrays so well what the National
Mental Health Committee reported a few years ago -- Half of
all the people in America's hospital beds are constant
worriers. Mental distress can lead to migraine headaches,
arthritis, heart trouble, cystitis, colitis, backaches,
ulcers, depression, digestive disorders and yes, even death.
Add to that list the mental fatigue of nights without sleep
and days without peace, then we get a glimpse of the havoc
worry plays in destroying the
quality and quantity of life.
Worry is, and always will be, a fatal disease of the heart,
for its beginning signals the end of faith. Worry intrudes
on God's compassionate ability to provide. When we allow our
problems to overshadow God's promises, we unknowingly, doom
ourselves to a defeat that was never part of God's eternal
plans. Release the regrets of yesterday, refuse the fears of
tomorrow and receive instead, the peace of today. Yes, my
friend simply let go and let God.
Live this, and be eternally blessed.
Read the following poem:
As children bring there broken toys
With tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God
Because He was my friend
But then, instead of leaving Him
In peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help
With ways that were my own
At last I snatched them back and cried, "How can you be so
slow?"
"My child," He said, "What could I do? You never did let go."

No matter what your problem (situation) is, turn it over to
God. All of your battles He is able to fight. Have a blessed
day. Remember, nothing is going to happen today that God
can't handle.
