TRUE LOVE

This story is so beautiful and worth it to share with all those u love and close to ur heart....

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over in an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.
On examining it I saw it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors and got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. 

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while! As she is a victim of Alzheimer's disease.

As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?'
He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me but I still know who she is.'

I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm and thought, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life. True love is neither physical nor romantic'.
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

Allah Will never Burden U More Than U Can Handle. 

GRANT ME SERENITY

O ALLAH

Grant me serenity for the things

I cannot change

Grant me courage for the things

I can change

Grant me wisdom to know the differences

Alhamdulillah

ALLAH always be there for me

I am so gratefulness yet I am sad

Knowing my heart is always crying

Dying for HIS love

Eternal and everlasting

Subhanallah....

My Dear ALLAH

Let my journey to YOUR heart

Keeps me strong, vital in perseverance

And hold me tight to YOU

Even through the darkest of the night

And through the deepest of all sorrows

Don't let me flee from YOUR love....

Don't let me be alone without YOUR blessings

Needing YOU always....

Gratitude

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a strange into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. 
- Melody Beattie

OUR LORD

Our Lord, by Your Knowledge of the Unseen, and by Your Power over Your creation, grant me life so long as You know life to hold good for me, and grant me death when You know death to hold good for me.

O Lord, I ask You to make me fear You in secret and in the open,

I ask You to make me speak sincerely (the truth) at times of contentment and at times of anger,

I ask You to make me be moderate (frugality) in poverty and in wealth,

I ask You for a blessing that does not end, contentment that never ceases, and for acceptance of Your decree.

I ask You for a good life after death, and I ask You for the joy of looking upon Your face and the longing to meet You, with no harmful adversity or misleading trial (fitnah).

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

Narrated by Ghailan

Anas said, "I do not find (now-a-days) things as they were (practiced) at the time of the Prophet." Somebody said "The prayer (is as it was.)" Anas said, "Have you not done in the prayer what you have done? Narrated Az-Zuhri that he visited Anas bin Malik at Damascus and found him weeping and asked him why he was weeping. He replied, "I do not know anything which I used to know during the life-time of Allah's Apostle except this prayer which is being lost (not offered as it should be)."
