Hey lovely fellows ,
hope and pray that all of you are enjoying the view of your lives by looking through the
WINDOW OF GRATITUDE! and realizing that no matter how bad the weather is and no matter how dull the mood you have right now there are numerous people in this world who are suffering with serious and bigger problems than you and still are more grateful for what God has given them .
Last night we heard in news about a German lady doctor Ruth pfow who died in age of 87 on 10th of August in Agha Khan Hospital Karachi while dealing with many health issues.
Doctor's put her on ventilator but she requested to remove it because she wanted to live through natural resources.
Doctor Ruth fow was a nun and dedicated her life for the patients who suffered with leprosy . She born in 1929 in German city Leipzig . Her house was ruined during second world war and she moved to the west Germany and chose medicine as career .
In 1957 she joined Catholic order as she was greatly influenced by a German book"Lord" by Romano Guardini .
Order sent her in southern India later .She came to Pakistan 's biggest city Karachi in 1960 .
She travelled in distant areas of country .She saw people who were abandoned from their families for leprosy .She decided to help those people .
In age of 31 1960 she decided to stay in pakistan and serve the miserables .In 1963 she founded a Marie Adelaide Leprosy Center in Karachi where patients came from all over the country even from Afghanistan .In 1979 she was appointed Health advisor in health ministry by govt of Pakistan . Through her struggles she collected the donations from Pakistan and Germany .
She received many awards and citizenship of Pakistan in order to acknowledgment of her services .Due to her continues efforts in 1996 The World Health Organization declared Pakistan one of the first country in south Asia who have controlled leprosy!
On 19th August her body lay in state ahead of state funeral which was held in Saint Patrick's Cathedral . Her coffin was draped in Pakistani flag and 19 gun salute was offered by contingents of all three Armed forces of Pakistan . the ceremony was broadcast live on national t.v.
Dear friends hope you like my sharing of today as for me people like doctor Ruth Fow are more then superheroes who chose really hard way of life and leave behind the remarkable example of selflessness and sacrifice . She reached eternity through her pure spirit and will in so many hearts and prayers for evr!!!
Live gloriously like a shining sun who shower life upon earth by burning itself .
or a shady tree that stand selflessly under te sun no matter how hard the sunlight is and gives peace and serenity to other who sit under it!
Nature has designed only one religion for SUCCESSFUL SURVIVOR
"RELIGION OF LOVE!!!"
God Bless You ALL dear Friends!!!

What a beautiful post of an amazing woman. Thank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteAn incredible and selfless soul who will be missed I'm sure. Such dedication is rare and in the end all those who she touched will be better off. Thanks for sharing and greetings!
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend I believe that the day when such last graceful and selfless soul will vanish from this world ,world will come to its end because world is running through the goodness which keep mending the wounds caused by the badness of the worst of this world
DeleteWonderful inspiring lady!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of Dr. Ruth Fow. Based on your post her life was noble and inspiring. We can all learn to be better people when we look towards her example.
wonderful and inspiring lady!
ReplyDeleteWhat a remarkable lady, thank you so much for sharing her story.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the blessing of this story of such a selfless and beautiful spirit. I will more often be thankful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Dr. Ruth's story, Baiti. She is a true inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you my friends!
ReplyDeleteShe was truly an inspiration for those who waste their whole life in selfishness
What an amazing and beautiful soul :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Baili, thanks for sharing this with us. And pointing out that 'Gratitude is a worthy Attitude!'
ReplyDeleteThank you for your note to me about the Neem tree! I thought it good to place this here so you'd see it 'quicker!' Appreciate your kindness. I've found that some infections of the skin aren't healed by Dr.s, but knowing "God's herb for it is Best!"
Your pointing out the 'qualities' of a person who gives themselves for the good of others and having the LORD as their center (which is all the 'good qualities of character') is far better and a happy heart. Pleasing only ourselves (selfishness) is an endless chore! always wanting more - that is the 'sin nature ruling' (unconcerned or attentive to the Creator who gave us life and even 'our own unique personalities'!) So, we are to choose who and what to attend our time and efforts to (our thoughts)! May the God's Spirit guide us in all things!
Here's something you might like to view on utube - if your able to watch it. Thanks again!

Hi dc!
Deletethank you for your beautiful words on my blog ,i feel deeply grateful to hear from you as you share more of your precious thoughts and through whaich i lean more my friend and feel happy that you spent a little amount of your precious time thinking and responding to my simple words .
I let you know one thing more that my mother knew lot about her Mother about herbs and each time when summer arrived close she used to grab lots of herbs (which 's most of names i forgot unfortunately) including the leaves of neem tree and wash and boil them for half hour almost .
when the bitterest soup of the world was ready she pour it in a huge mugs and ask us to drink it with warning that if we did not she will ban our favorite games etc.
she used to pour upon us this soup in last minute when we finished our bath as according to her it will protect from skin diseases .
Thank you Baili! Appreciate your gentle kindness and consideration (+ happy heart :)
DeleteIt sure would be neat to have a 'record' of the herbs your grandma used. Those ladies were very 'keen' in knowing what to use for what problem and that would be good to have as a resource. There's many books about herb use, but not all are 'in the know'. Thank you for your 'time' too in communicating with me so nicely. A "Plus" to my day. God Bless and keep you and yours in His Way and Love. :)
a great woman

Your thoughts that when we are feeling low there is always so many who are less fortunate than ourselves resonated with me. Thank you, lovely Bailie for reminding me of this precious truth. Have the most wonderful week, lovely lady.
ReplyDeleteI had not heard of this amazing lady either, so thank you so much for introducing her to us.
ReplyDeleteAll too often such selfless and inspirational people are overlooked, and that is so wrong.
People like this wonderful lady are a true example to us all...and I really wish we could all learn to be more like her...

Dear Baili,
ReplyDeleteFirs I want to thank you for visiting my blog the other day. I was most pleased to see a new friend.
I have shared this post of yours to my husband's facebook page and our Google+ with the heading "we need to hear more things like this." I never heard of this woman before and I am sure many others have not heard of her either. We need to hear about them while they are alive and learn of the good work they are doing. There is already too much bad news in the world. Thank you so much for your beautiful blog.
Thank you dear Carol for honouring me with such kind response!
ReplyDeleteGood people in world are RARE BLOOMS so they inspire me as roll model and true successful existence.
I an glad you liked my effort my friend!
Thank you for sharing Doctor Ruth's story, Baili! People who choose to work among those suffering from leprosy are remarkable, gifted with selflessness and a deep reservoir of compassion and a drive to alleviate suffering.
