J D Canter E Books

My uncle used to say if he couldn’t take it with him he didn’t want to go. 

The reality is we all are going to die and we can’t take anything with us. Therefore, we have to use it before we die to do anyone any good. 

Everything in life has an expiration date. Just like the date manufacturers put on all the goods they sell that tells the last date it is safe for us that we should use their product. There is no guarantee for us to use it after that certain date. Similarly, there is a limited time for us to be able to do what we intend to do. So we must get busy to get done the items on our mission statement, and our to do list and our bucket lists. 

I had a bad heart attack in July, 2012. They said I cheated death and that I was at Death’s door! I was in the hospital for about seven days and four of those I spent in the Critical Care Unit or CCU. You had better believe that I reviewed my life and all the things I should’ve and could’ve done.

I knew that even though I might have cheated Death that Death would be back for me again one day. Having this knowledge, I found it inexcusable that I wouldn’t be ready next time. So that’s what I’m doing at this moment trying to mark off some items. on my bucket list. No one else can do that for you. The responsibility lies in you and in you alone!

3/20–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

Story:

Two taxidermists stopped before a window in which an owl was on display. They immediately began to criticize the way it was mounted. Its eyes were not natural; its wings were not in proportion with its head; its feathers were not neatly arranged; and its feet could be improved. When they had finished with their criticism, the old owl turned his head…and winked at them.

Scripture:

2 Corinthians 11:12-14

But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Humor:

Do our actions have consequences? Does cause and effect really exist?

George W. Bush, was in an airport lobby, and noticed a man in a long flowing white robe with a long flowing white beard and flowing white hair. The man had a staff in one hand and some stone tablets under the other arm.

George W. approached the man and inquired, “Aren’t you Moses?”

The man ignored George W. and stared at the ceiling.

George W. positioned himself more directly in the man’s view and asked again,

“Aren’t you Moses?”

The man continued to stare at the ceiling.

George W. tugged at the man’s sleeve and asked once again, “Aren’t you Moses?”

The man finally responded in an irritated voice, “Yes, I am.”

George W. asked him why he was so irritable and the man replied, “The last time I spoke to a bush I had to spend 40 years in the desert!”

How to Bury a Good Idea 

It will never work, 

We’ve never done it that way before. 

We’re doing fine without it. 

We can’t afford it. 

We’re not ready for it. 

It’s not our responsibility. 

Bits & Pieces, June 23, 1994, p. 10.

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

3/19–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

3/19–Be grateful for every single person who was part of your story. The ones who hurt you, the ones who helped, you cause they all taught you

Story:

The man turned to the congregation and with tears in his eyes confessed he had been a “counterfeit” Christian. Everyone in that church knew he was a taxidermist. His job was making dead animals look alive. He compared his life to one of his stuffed animals—he looked spiritually alive, but he was dead on the inside.”

Scripture:

Mark 7:6

He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

3/19-Recognizing that you are not where you want to be is the starting point to begin changing your life

Illustration:  There was a King that had two slaves. The King told the slaves that he

would paid them a years wage if they would take the all the water out of his

well and dump into a wicker basket.

The slaves agreed to do the work. The first slave took a bucket and

filled it with water and dumped it into the wicker basket. He did this two or

three times and relized that he was not accomplishing anything so he told the

other slave ” This is foolishness, we are not accomplishing anything, I am

leaving!” 

The other slave tried to reason with the first slave saying

“The Master already paid us our wage, we have to do this!!!”

The first slave left anyway.  The other slave picked up the bucket and

continued the work until the well was dry. When he finished he looked into the

basket and saw a basket full of diamonds. They were transparent to the eyes

while in the water.

When the master returned he praised the faithful slave and gave him the

basket of diamonds in addition to the wages he already had recieved.

In God’s organization some times we do not always realize what we

are doing or why we might be doing something but Jehovah never asks us to do anything that will harm us, and if we are a faithful servant of God’s,  he will reward us with a treasure beyond imagination.

weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
