How The Sad Old Man Became Happy

An old man lived in the village. The whole village was tired of him; he was always gloomy, he constantly complained and was always in a bad mood. 

The longer he lived, the viler he became and more poisonous were his words. People did their best to avoid him because his misfortune was contagious. He created the feeling of unhappiness in others.

But one day, when he turned eighty, an incredible thing happened. Instantly everyone started hearing the rumor: ‘The old man is happy today, he doesn’t complain about anything, smiles, and even his face is freshened up.’

The whole village gathered around the man and asked him, “What happened to you?”

The old man replied, ‘Nothing special. Eighty years I’ve been chasing happiness and it was useless. And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That’s why I’m happy now.’”

2/2—Start Your Day Off Right Series

My Anniversary // Groundhog Day

Quote:

The things that you are passionate about are not random,they are your calling!

Story:

The snow covered the ground where three lads were playing. A man came along and said to them, “Would you like to try a race and the winner receive a prize?” 

   The boys agreed and the man told them that his race was to be different. “I will go to the other side of the field,” he said, “and when I give you the signal, you will start to run. The one whose footsteps are the straightest in the snow will be the winner.” 

   The race commenced and the first boy kept looking at his feet to see if his steps were straight. The second lad kept looking at his companions to see what they were doing; but the third boy just ran on with his eyes steadfastly fixed on the man on the other side of the field. 

   The third lad was the winner, for his footsteps were straight in the snow. He had kept his eyes on the goal ahead of him. 

Scripture:

Psalms 1:1-3

Psalms

Blessed is the man

that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,

nor standeth in the way of sinners,

nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD;

and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,

that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;

his leaf also shall not wither;

and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

God Can Make The Impossible Possible

A young man working in the army was constantly humiliated because he believed in God. One day the captain wanted to humiliate him in front of the troops.

He called the young man and said: Young man come here, take the key and go park the Jeep in front. The young man replied:

I don’t know how to drive! The captain replied: Then ask your God for help! Show us there is!

The young man took the key, went to the vehicle and started praying. Then he parked the car-jeep just like the captain wanted.

When the young soldier came out of the Jeep he saw them all crying. 

They all said to him: – We want to serve your God! 

Young soldier marveled and asked-what’s going on? The captain crying opened the hood of the jeep and showed the young man :- that the car did not have an engine!

Then the boy said :- See?

This is the God whom I serve, nothing is impossible with God, God who gives life to him who does not exist. You may think these are impossible things, but with God all things are possible.

2/1– Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

2/1–We are told to let our light shine and if it does we won’t need to tell anybody that it does.

Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining they just shine

Story: And we think we’ve got problems. Pastor Jack Hinton from New Bern, N.C. was leading music for a worship service held in a leper colony on the island of Tobago. There was time for one more selection. He asked for a request, and a woman who had been facing away from the pulpit turned around.

“I saw the most hideous face I had ever seen,” Jack says, “The woman’s nose and ears were entirely gone. Most of her lips had rotted away. “She lifted a fingerless hand in the air and asked, ‘Can we sing Count Your Many Blessings?’”

Overcome with emotion, Jack left the service. He was followed by a team member who said, “Jack, I guess you’ll never be able to sing that song again.” “Yes I will,” Jack replied, “but I’ll never sing it the same way again.”

That kind of changes our perspective, doesn’t it? How many blessings can you count?

Scripture:

Romans 12:3

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Work On Yourself And The World Will Come Together Better

Man and the World 

A small boy filled with all kinds of playful ideas anxiously awaited his father’s return from work. An extra-long day at the office, however, had taken its toll, and his father longed for a few minutes of relaxation. 

Over and over again the boy tugged at his dad’s leg with yet another suggestion of something they might do together. 

Well, finally in total frustration the father ripped from a magazine a picture of the world and tore it into a hundred pieces. “Here,” he said handing the child a roll of scotch tape, “go and put the world back together.” Ah, peace at last, or so he thought. 

But, in just a few minutes, he was interrupted again, there before him stood his son-and in hands was a crudely fashioned picture of the world. “Son, that’s incredible. How did you do it?” “It was easy,” said the boy, “you see on the other side of the picture of the world was the picture of a man, and as soon as I got man straightened out the world came together.” What a profound answer from a child! 

How true! Get man fixed and the world will be okay.
