A concert violinist
whose brother was a bricklayer. One day, a woman began gushing to the
bricklayer about how wonderful it was to be in the family of that violinist.
Not wanting to insult the bricklayer, she added, "Of course, we don't all
have the same talents, and even in a family some just seem to have more talent
than others."
The
bricklayer replied, "Boy, you're telling me! That violinist brother of
mine doesn't know a thing about laying bricks. If he couldn't make some money
playing that fiddle of his, he couldn't hire a guy with know-how like mine to
build a house. If he had to build a house himself, he'd be ruined."
Robinson observes, "If you want to build
a house, you don't want a violinist. If you're going to lead an orchestra, you
don't want a brick-layer. No two of us are exactly alike. None of us has every
gift and ability. Our responsibility is to exercise the gifts we have—not the
ones we wish we had." A concert

God's Love Is So Wonderful
God's love for the world is so wonderful,He makes our life magical, and so beautiful.
Even in hard times, we can put our trust in him,
And he will make them disappear without a thing.
He doesn't take a salary from us at the end of the day,
It is just his love for us that brightens up our way.

God Bless !!
