Never Give Up

 Never Give Up

Once, somewhere in England, there was a lovely girl named Alexis, born to a rich and happy family. After a period of about three years, she had a sister called Xiella. They lived happily. 

From her school age, Alexis loved playing basketball. She also taught her sister the sport. 

Years passed by. They grew older. From the age of 9, Alexis had a dream of being a part of the British Basketball Team, or the BBT. She practiced a lot. When she was 22, she decided to go to the auditions. 

The audition was in London. She had to travel by air. On her way to the airport, she met with an accident. Her hand was cut off. Straight away the people around took her to the hospital. Her parents and sister were informed and they soon arrived. The doctor said that she was out of danger but her hand..., she could not get back her right hand. 

When Alexis knew about this, she was weeping but then stopped and said to herself,” I lost my hand, so…, does that mean I can’t do anything, and my dreams can never come true? NO! My dreams can come true, and…, I…, still can succeed in life and reach my goals. I will NEVER GIVE UP!”

She had fixed a plastic arm to herself. She went for the auditions and was also selected. What Great News! She was the captain. Her first match was with Germany. Her team won and she was also considered to be the best player of the match.  

She played many matches also in different countries.  She grew old…

Once she was very sick. Her friends had come to visit her. They were talking, and after some time, on the spot, she met the last minute of her life, she died, saying:

GO FOR YOUR DREAMS,

NEVER GIVE UP, NO MATTER WHAT MAY STOP YOU….”

Many people were inspired by her. Her sister, Xiella is also included in this.

PRECAUTION: THIS IS NOT A TRUE STORY!

Lazarus, Come Out!

Heroes in the Bible:  Lazarus, Come Out! Scripture Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? John 11:25 Have you ever wondered why God’s timing feels so different from ours? When Jesus learned that Lazarus was sick, He didn’t rush to his side. Instead, He waited two days before going to Bethany, where Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. Why would Jesus delay when His friend was in such desperate need? Jesus’ response reminds us that God’s plans are always purposeful. “This sickness,” He said, “is not unto death, but for the glory of God.” What situations in your life feel delayed, but may be an opportunity for God’s glory to shine? When Jesus arrived, Martha expressed her faith, saying, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.” Jesus answered her with one of the most profound declarati...

International Tiger Day

Celebrating the Majestic Tiger: A Call to Action on International Tiger Day July 29th marks International Tiger Day, a global event dedicated to raising awareness about the conservation of one of the world's most iconic and endangered species. As the largest of the big cats, tigers hold a special place in the hearts and minds of people around the world. Their sheer power, grace, and distinct striped pattern make them a symbol of strength, beauty, and the delicate balance of our natural world. Unfortunately, the tiger's remarkable presence is under severe threat. Over the past century, tiger populations have declined by a staggering 95%, with only an estimated 3,900 tigers remaining in the wild today. Habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict have all contributed to the dwindling numbers of this magnificent creature, pushing several subspecies to the brink of extinction. International Tiger Day serves as a crucial reminder of the urgent need for global action to ...
