I do like surprises but some surprises can be astounding. Just like this incident. It was about a retired pilot and a priest of Saint Mary's church for the past 43 years. They died and were waiting in line at the Pearly Gates of Heaven. Saint Peter adressed the pilot dressed in sunglasses, a leather jacket and jeans. He checked his list then smiled. He gave the pilot a silken robe and golden stuff. Then the pilot entered the Kingdom of Heaven.
Next, it was the priest's turn. Saint Peter consulted his list and handed a cotton robe and wooden stuff to the priest before entering the Heavenly Gates. The priest was puzzled so he confronted Saint Pater.He asked why the pilot received a silken robe and golden stuff while he being a priest was given only ctton and wood.
Saint Peter then replied that in Heaven, they go by results. He said," When you preached, people slept but when the pilot flew, people pray".

Some secrets or surprises can make a person happy or sad.Some can give even a heart attack to a person if that person is very much sensitive towards such surprises

Hi Umabharti,nice to hear from you. Yes,some suprises can make us sad or happy but most of all,it brings excitement, joy, love, pride and makes life more interesting.
Ha! It can even causes heart attack if the person receiving it, is too sensitive as you have mentioned or the message of such surprise is too alarming.
Surprises may comes in many forms too. They could be surprising news, gifts, actions or messages.I mean they are all so exciting as they are not what we expected therefore they are known as Surprises. Whether they are good or bad or even shocking, they brings excitement and make our life more interesting.Do you think so?

Your responses did surprised too. We do not have to look for surprises in our life. They are sometimes life events which occurred without us even realises them as surprises.
Let me share one of my life events which surprised me and would cherish the rest of my life. It happened when I was suddenly called to run a race which I did not register and prepared. My friend told me just a day before the race so I decided to run just for the fun of it. Much to my surprise, I was leading the race. But when I was about a metre away from the finishing line, a younger competitor was about to overtake me. I put in my best effort and won the race. The amount of camera lights flashing on me was unbelievable. I was cheered by our country band and rewarded a trophy presented by our minister of sports.I also won the best lucky draw prize. I was even more surprised when my sister also managed to finish the race and won one of the lucky prizes. It was her first time finishing a race and winning a prize. I was really surprised and it was one of my greatest surprise too.
Maybe if you recall your life events, you will also realised that some of the events did surprised you in one way or aonther. Do you agree?
Happy posting and have a nice day.

Hi Judy. Yes, nice to hear that you love surprises too. The feeling we have opening and wondering what is in our presents are really great feelings.I cherish such feelings so in order that others close to me to experience such wonderful feelings I will give nice gifts to surprise them. Have you thought of surprising your parents too?
I was so amused when I saw others giving 999 roses or more to their loved ones on Valentine's day or lovers who painted the sky using aircrafts to exhibit their love or propose to their sweethearts. Guess what? Their wishes came true most of the time. Such surprises are rewarding too, isn't it?
Thanks for your response. Have a great day!
