Dear JOYnetters After a short period of hibernation our friend Suru is out from cold to say that he is alone.
Suru, its hightime to get doubled???????!!! :) Josun from Delhi is also in the same boat and he has declared his intention loud and clear. I am filling out what you have left blank in your mail (about family life). YES indeed family life with wife and kids are really beautiful. I have two tiny tots: One is 4 1/2 and the other 1 1/2 years old. Both are boys. So you know how hard it is. Still I find life is beautiful... If you consider every inconvenience as an adventure and face that adventure with JESUS you will find life most beautiful. So you are not alone my buddy.....we all are with you along with our JESUS. Dont worry .....be haaaaapy. sebastian thomas Bahrain From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [JOYnet] Life is beautiful !!! Date: Mon, 13 May 2002 02:31:16 +0600 Hi friends, Life is beautiful !!! Why life is beautiful ???? There are many things coming into mind.. let me start with few experiences... Everywhere it is War & Terrorism and war against Terrorism.... CNN, BBC, Sky news, Foxnews or any Tv channels you get this peice of news... India you get Gujrat, Middle east you get Palestine issues, Nepal you get Maoists, Sri Lanka you get Tamil issues, Taliban, IRA, Al Fatah, Jihad, Hamas, Japaneese Red Armay, ETA, PKK, list is going on... If you take religions there also problems, In kerala itself we have time long issues on various things like liturgy, etc, politics is hopeless anywhere... Globalism, International trade, World bank,etc. Attack on a building in New York is affecting a family in the remote village of Assam or Bihar but same time a million dollar profit for the neighbor might not give that family any benefit.. Everywhere you can see unrest among the people. Still life is beautiful.... Like to share few things coming into Mind. We Joynet members are scattered all around the world. unless like other JY communities we are not from a particular place, job or situation... many of us are alone in their country or City (I mean no other Jy's around). this part of sharing specially for them... for my friends who are away from their home, far away from their parents and loving ones..... No Man can Live as an Island.... Journeying through the life alone.... Last few days I was feeling so lonely... Where else can we share all this feelings... Being in this community for more than 3 years I feel this is the place we can get the real love, help, spiritual support etc. My job is like operating from my house itself and not much works always so in literal meaning here I am alone. That's is the reason these days thinking the worthiness of being with friends, Being in a Community, Being with family etc. God created this world in a beautiful harmony...Where we all can live as a community...where nobody is alone...Family ties are most important in our life. My father, Mother, their sufferings for me, How they managed to support all our way, They gave everything for us, My sister, brother, their love for me, How much they care for me... (My wife, kids.... don't know how to explain this part... Some married guys can explain)... Yes experincing all this... Life is beautiful... Something very beautiful right.... Friends - My memories going back to college days, The friendships we will remember till the end of our life.... My college days I got my best friends... still we are best friends and when ever in kerala I spend my time with them. Those days we worked for Jesus youth with whole heart. We have a three men Army there me, James & Binu (we are best freinds for last 12 years) ....Last month I went to home for just two days out of that one day I spend time with these JY friends... yes life is beautiful... Today I am stopping here with a small prayer. LORD JESUS I THANK YOU FOR MY PARENTS, BROTHERS & SISTERS, THANK YOU FOR THE LOVING FRIENDS AND COMMUNITIES AROUND ME. WHEN I AM ALONE BE WITH ME AS MY FATHER, MOTHER, SISTER (HUSBAND,WIFE) AND AS MY CLOSE FRIEND BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO BE ALONE.... LORD THIS LIFE WONT BE BEAUTIFUL WITH OUT MY PARENTS, BROTHERS, SISTERS (HUSBAND, WIFE, KIDS)... EVEN IF I AM ALONE LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL...BECAUSE YOU ARE WITH ME....
