12/11–Start Your Day Off Right Series
Quote:
12/11–Rejoice With Those That Rejoice
Story:
12/11–Brendon Burchard said Hope is not something you have or don’t have but is generated. He said the power plant don’t have energy but it generates it, and so do we with hope! Is there hope?
It is a question that Is asked by thousands of different people in thousands of different ways. It is asked by patients and people in doctor’s office awaiting results of test. When people are standing by the bed of a loved one at the hospital that is the question they ask the doctor…. Is there hope?
A parent that is raising an unruly child ask themself is there hope? The couple that have failed over and over to make their marriage work. The couple who has a missing child four days ask is there hope?
You can go 40 days without food, about 3 without water, about 8 minutes without air, but you cannot go single second without hope! You need hope to cope!! A Doctor. studied 25,000 prisoners of war to see what kind of effect hope or the lack of hope had on these prisoners. The group that made it through all had as a common denominator an extremely high level of hope!!
Hope makes all the difference in the world! It is essential in handling a crisis. When man has hope, he is capable of bearing incredible burdens and suffering!! But when hope was going man falls apart emotionally, physically and spiritually. Where do you go to get the hope that you need? Some go to quacks and trust in something besides God.
Romans 15: 13. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. God is the source of all Hope!!

Scripture:
Acts 26:24-25
And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
Humor:
Given the title (on the subject of buckets..) and its quick simple message, this story is a good partner analogy to the rocks in a bucket time management story.
The story illustrates lateral thinking, narrow-mindedness, the risks of making assumptions, and judging people and situations:
A party of suppliers was being given a tour of a mental hospital.
One of the visitors had made some very insulting remarks about the patients.
After the tour the visitors were introduced to various members of staff in the canteen.
The rude visitor chatted to one of the security staff, Bill, a kindly and wise ex-policeman.
“Are they all raving loonies in here then?” said the rude man.
“Only the ones who fail the test,” said Bill.
“What’s the test?” said the man.
“Well, we show them a bath full of water, a bucket, a jug and an egg-cup, and we ask them what’s the quickest way to empty the bath,” said Bill.
“Oh I see, simple – the normal ones know it’s the bucket, right?”
“No actually,” said Bill, “The normal ones say pull out the plug. Should I check when there’s a bed free for you?”
