BOL bananas make a great Deal when they are demanded in thousands Imagine thousands of Bananas Bols .What a pity !This is no cheesy affair But Dene is a compulsory part of the tradition of the wedding .So it remains standard every where .Its usually taken a day before the marriage that the gals take it to her to be in laws place.Her things are then displayed ..,,,relatives friends are invited to have a look at the things .The things that are displayed are from Gold to beauty aids ..clothes ..furniture sanitary ware etc.There are various comments passed out there . .Some old aunty will then pass a comment..

[JOYnet] The Perfect Match ????
Greetings to the Youth in Christ Its been ages since I mailed out here. I wish to thank all those who mailed me for my birthday which was recent. So thank you again for that. All the wishes were really heart warming. I am just blessed to hear the news that one of my Aunty (one of the younger ones :) has finally found a match for herself and will be getting married next year. Praise God for that. Finally her family prayers did get answered. Just Yesterday one of my relatives commented that after such a long search my aunty has finally found a suitor and he seems to be The Perfect Match. And that got me thinking. What exactly is a Perfect Match. Is there anything called as a Perfect Match. I mean I know that many of you are married out here. We heard how God chose Eve for Adam. We know how Joseph was chosen for Mary, why some of us even know how Swapna was chosen for Abey. We tend to associate the Perfect Match when everything works out between a couple. But when things go a bit awry then what. So well what exactly is a perfect match. urs in faith Jason This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] TAKING AIM
Dear Friends, A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in a seminary class, given by her teacher, Dr. Smith. She says Dr. Smith was known for his elaborate object lessons. One particular day, Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were in for a fun day. On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts. Dr. Smith told the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked or someone who had made them angry, and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture. Sally's girlfriend drew a picture of a girl who had stolen her boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally drew a picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of detail into her drawing, even drawing pimples on the face. Sally was pleased a the overall effect she had achieved. The class lined up and began throwing darts, with much laughter and hilarity. Some of the students threw their darts with such force that their targets were ripping apart. Sally looked forward to her turn, and was filled with disappointment when Dr. Smith, because of time limits, asked the students to return to their seats. As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't have a chance to throw any darts at her target, Dr. Smith began removing the target from the wall. Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus... A complete hush fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered His face and His eyes were pierced. Dr. Smith said these words, In as much as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto Me. No other words were necessary; the tear-filled eyes of each student focused only on the picture of Christ. And the King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'

[JOYnet] World DAY of FASTING FOR PEACE
Fighting Against Terrorism -- with Prayer and Fasting Vatican Office Publishes Document to Prepare for Jan. 24 VATICAN CITY, DEC. 7, 2001 (Zenit.org).- The Vatican has published guidelines on the fast and prayer for peace, stating that it is hard to see how terrorism will be tackled at its roots without a conversion of hearts. With this spirit, the Office for Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff published a document Thursday entitled Liturgical -- Pastoral Guidelines on the Fast and Prayer for Peace in Preparation for the Assisi Meeting of January 24, 2002. The text also offers specific suggestions for the Dec. 14 day of fast, called by John Paul II, in conjunction with the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. After the grievous terrorist attacks in the United States of America on September 11, the Holy Father has, on a number of occasions, deplored such violence and expressed his concern for the consequences of the military action taking place in Afghanistan, the document explains in the introduction. The Church prays and invites everyone to ensure that love will prevail over hatred, peace over war, truth over falsehood, and forgiveness over revenge, the text of the guidelines adds, which is addressed to all dioceses. The Holy Father wishes the fast to become a cry of hearts to the Lord, because without his help it will not be possible to find a solution to the tragic situation now facing the world. The Vatican document explains that the day of fasting involves all the faithful freely: children, who willingly make sacrifices to help other poor children; young people, who are especially sensitive to the cause of justice and peace; all adults, excluding the sick but including the elderly. Local tradition will suggest the best form of fasting to adopt: eating only one meal, or taking only 'bread and water,' or waiting until sundown before eating, the document states. In addition, it will be the responsibility of the Bishop to determine a simple and effective way of placing whatever is saved through fasting at the disposal of the poor, especially those who at present are suffering the consequences of terrorism and war. The novelty proposed by John Paul II is that the fast should be coupled with a pilgrimage. Dec. 14 will be the start of a spiritual and physical journey of believers toward an interior change. Bishops will establish places for prayer from Dec. 14 until the vigil of Jan. 23, eve of the Assisi event. Thus, this pilgrimage of preparation will extend over Christmas and Jan. 1, the World Day of Peace, which this year has the following motto established by the Pope: No Peace Without Justice, No Justice Without Forgiveness. ZE01120708 * Holy See´s Guidelines for Fast and Prayer for Peace Issued by Office for Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff VATICAN CITY, DEC. 7, 2001 (ZENIT.org).- Here are liturgical and pastoral guidelines for the fast and prayer for peace, in preparation for the Jan. 24 event in Assisi, Italy. The Office for Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff issued the guidelines. * * * LITURGICAL-PASTORAL GUIDELINES ON THE FAST AND PRAYER FOR PEACE IN PREPARATION FOR THE ASSISI MEETING OF 24 JANUARY 2002 After the grievous terrorist attacks in the United States of America on 11 September, the Holy Father has on a number of occasions deplored such violence and expressed his concern for the consequences of the military action taking place in Afghanistan. The Church prays and invites everyone to ensure that love will prevail over hatred, peace over war, truth over falsehood, and forgiveness over revenge. More than two months after the attacks of 11 September, the situation remains serious, tension is very high, and people everywhere are still greatly distressed. For this reason, at the Angelus Prayer of 18 November 2001 His Holiness asked that for Catholics 14 December be a day of fasting, during which they should pray fervently that God will grant the world a stable peace, based upon justice.1 He added that it was his intention to invite representatives of the religions of the world to come to Assisi on 24 January 2002 in order to pray for an end to hostilities and the advancement of true peace.2 Responding to this pastoral initiative by the Holy Father, this Note seeks to offer some thoughts on Christian fasting (14 December 2001), as well as on aspects of the Prayer Vigil of 23 January and the Pilgrimage of Prayer of 24 January 2002). Some practical suggestions are also given as to how these days might best be benefited from. 1. CHRISTIAN FASTING 1.1 The Essence of Christian Fasting Fasting has an important place in all the great religions. The Old Testament lists fasting among the corner-stones of the spirituality of Israel: Prayer is good when accompanied by fasting, almsgiving and justice (Tob 12:8).3 Fasting implies an attitude

Hi Joynetters, Couldnt keep this to myself... It will be very helpful for all of us Love and Prayers Ravi SUNSHINE RAIN No life is useless and no day is vain, For God has a purpose for sunshine and rain. All are discouraged, and everyone cries But were never alone beneath cloudy skies. All hearts can break theyre fragile as glass, But God will mend them, and this too shall pass. Sometimes we succeed, and sometimes we fail, So follow your dream whatever the trail, For no ones a loser who gives it his best, And you can stand tall above all the rest, Those who are faithful are noble at heart, And no life is useless when God has a part. Be swift to give praises and slow to complain . God has a purpose for sunshine and rain. Clay Harrison Check out Yahoo! Shopping and Yahoo! Auctions for all of your unique holiday gifts!
