God’s Signs
An old illiterate Arab used to pray with such fervour each night that the wealthy owner of the great caravan decided to summon him so as to talk to him.
‘Why do you pray with such devotion? How do you know God exists when you don’t even know how to read?”
“I do know, sir. I can read everything that the Great Celestial Father writes.”
“But how?”
The humble servant explained.
“When you receive a letter from someone far away, how do you recognize the writer?
“By the handwriting.”

Tears of the desert
According to legend, after an exhausting morning session of prayer, the novice asked the abbot if prayers brought God closer to mankind.
“I’m going to reply with another question”, said the abbot. “Will all the prayers you say make the sun rise tomorrow?”
“Of course not! The sun rises in obedience to a universal law.”
“Well, there’s the answer to your questions. God is close to us regardless of how much we pray.”
The novice was shocked. “Are you saying that our prayers are useless?”
“Absolutely not. If you don’t wake up early enough, you will never get to see the sunrise. And although God is always close, if you don’t pray, you will never manage to feel His presence.”

Suggesion of the year 2011 – The man who sold very good hot dogs
There was once a man who lived by the side of the road and sold hot dogs. He was hard of hearing so he had no radio – he had trouble with his eyes, so he read no newspapers and of course he didn’t look at television. But he sold very good hot dogs. He put up signs on the highway telling everyone how good they were, he stood on the side of the road and cried out to all that past ‘buy a hot dog, they are the best in town’.
And people bought his hot dogs and he increased his meat and bun orders. He bought a bigger stove to take care of all the extra business. He finally got his son to come and help him out with his business.
