Gaining Perspective

Should you find it hard to get to sleep tonight; just remember the homeless family who has no bed to lie in.

Should you find yourself stuck in traffic; don’t despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; think of the person who has been out of work for the last three months.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance, think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new grey hair in the mirror; think of the cancer patients in Chemo who wishes they had hair to turn grey.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering; what is life all about, what is my purpose? Be Grateful ! There are those who didn’t live long enough, to get the opportunity to ponder.

Showing Through

A little girl, on the way home from church, turned to her mother and said, “Mommy, the preacher’s sermon this morning confused me.

” The mother said, “Oh! Why is that?”

The girl replied, “Well, he said that God is bigger than we are. Is that true?”

“Yes, that’s true,” the mother replied.

“He also said that God lives within us. Is that true, too?”

Again the mother replied, “Yes.” “Well,” said the girl. “if God is bigger than us and he lives in us, wouldn’t he show through?”

I like that little girl’s way of putting it. If God lives in us, then there’s no way of keeping Him from “showing through”. That’s the essence of Christian living—-living in such a way that people around will see God in our lives. (He’ll show through)

Success

“Sir, What is the secrete of your success?” a reporter asked a bank president.
“Two words”
“And, Sir,what are they?”
“Right decisions.”
“And how do you make right decisions?”
“One word.”
“And,sir, What is that?”
“Experience.”
“And how do you get Experience?”
“Two words”
“And, Sir,what are they?”
“Wrong decisions”
