how much miracle costs?

A little girl, Tess, went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly  jar from its hiding place in the closet.
She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully.
Three times, even The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes.

Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention, but he was too busy at this moment.
Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing.... She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it!

 'And what do you want?' the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages,' he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
'Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,' Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. 'He's really, really sick...and I want to buy a miracle.'

'I beg your pardon?' said the pharmacist.
'His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?'

'We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you,' the pharmacist said, softening a little.

'Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.'

The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, 'What kind of a miracle does your brother need?'
' I don't know,' Tess replied with her eyes swelling up. I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money.'
'How much do you have?' asked the man from Chicago.

 

'One dollar and eleven cents,' Tess answered barely audibly. 'And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to.'

'Well, what a coincidence,' smiled the man. 'A dollar and eleven cents---the exact price of a miracle for little brothers. '
He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten and said 'Take me to where you live.
I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the miracle you need.'

That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed free of charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well.

Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place.
'That surgery,' her Mom whispered. 'was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?'
Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost..one dollar and eleven cents....plus the faith of a little child.

In our lives, we never know how many miracles we will need.
A miracle is not the suspension of natural law, but the operation of a higher law.

how 2 keep women happy

Keeping a woman happy is vital for a healthy relationship. Here are several tips to keep a girl happy - pay attention and reap the rewards.

Keep her happy rule #1 - Always be yourself; don't supplicate. There are guys out there who think they aren't good enough to attract a jaw-dropping beautiful, sexy woman, so they put on an act. A confident man doesn't act like this. As I write this article, I'm in Argentina, where there are plenty of amazing girls holding onto the arm of an out of shape dude with a mullet haircut. It just goes to show that women are more attracted to confidence and personality than looks.

Keep her happy rule #2 - Notice the little things. Women are all about the details. Does she have a favorite candy, a favorite flower, color, etc.? Get creative, surprise her with little momentos, she'll appreciate these things. I've met guys who try to impress girls with big gifts, but the reality is the women appreciate the smaller gifts a lot more in general.

Keep her happy rule #3 - This one is pretty simple: Appreciate her. Never take your woman for granted, let her know from time to time why you value her, what you find so irresistable about her.

Keep her happy rule #4 - The next rule is to be careful with her jealousy triggers. Basically this means - don't obviously ogle over other girls. Girls don't like to feel insecure, and they don't understand that men are visual beings who check out other women. Women are biologically engineered to seek a lifetime protector, so realize that checking out other women in front of your partner may make things testy between you two.

Keep her happy rule #5 - Keep her smiling and laughing. Men love good looks - but as I said earlier, women love a personality, including his sense of humor. A healthy relationship involves lots of laughs and some inside jokes.
Keep her happy rule #6 - Find common interests and activities, and keep things fresh in the relationship. Take an interest in her hobbies and interests, and introduce her to some of yours. Constantly learn and explore with each other, it keeps you both young, and keeps the relationship healthy.

Keep her happy rule #7 - Stay interesting. I know from experience that once you have the girl, you might become lazy in a lot of different respects. This will eventually kill the attraction, and the relationship. Keep yourself fresh, groom yourself, buy a new t-shirt once in a blue moon. Don't get sloppy or you could lose her.

Keep her happy rule #8 - Entertain her friends. If you win over a woman's friends and/or family, you gain major points. She can now trust you even more, and this only increases your value. I wouldn't try to become best friends with any of her friends, but keep things light, funny, and entertaining. This always works in your favor.

Keep her happy rule #9 - Be considerate of her feelings. Women are more emotional beings than men. Women want to feel understood. Give her some support and she will appreciate you for it. Don't fight her bad moods.

Keep her happy rule #10 - Always be open to try new things. When you start dating a girl, things are new and exciting. After a while, the two of you may find yourself in predictable routine. The more you shake things up, the more you will enjoy each other and learn about each other. This keeps the relationship healthy and growing.

There you have it, ten easy-enough rules to follow if you are serious about keeping your relationships strong. If you don't pay attention to these rules, you'll find out the hard way about the reality of a stale, fearful relationship. .. they don't last.

to allow the man to kiss you or not

It's absolutely under your discretion, to allow the man to kiss you or not. If locking lips is not on your mind right now, here are a few tips to avoid being kissed...

Stop flirting.

Flirting gives off the impression to your partner that you want something further than just hand holding. Try not to give off the wrong signals.

Shake your head.

Try not to pull away when your girlfriend or boyfriend tries to kiss you. They will only be left feeling rejected and your partner won't really want to try to kiss you later on in your relationship.

Be honest.

Tell your partner honestly that you are not really ready to kiss yet and that you will let him or her know when you will be later on. Honesty is the best route in this situation.

Tell your partner that you don't like to kiss early in the relationship. .If they try anyways and don't abide by your wishes, then this person is not worthy of your time and, of course, your kiss.

Be kind to your girlfriend or boyfriend after you refuse their kiss.Let them know you still like him or her by hugging and holding hands. This way, your partner will not feel completely rejected.

Move away from your girlfriend or boyfriend.Turn your head if necessary and explain you are not ready yet. If this person cares about you, then he or she will stop trying and wait for you to make the move.
