Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard,
that the everlasting God, the LORD,
the Creator of the ends of the earth,
fainteth not, neither is weary?
there is no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint;
and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.
Given A Choice, Why Not Choose To Be Happy?
It is a choice you know. Just like going to the soft drink machine and deciding whether you will choose cola or uncola. You can think yourself unhappy or happy.It is your choice.
The Apostle Paul told the ruler he was standing before that “I think myself happy” to be able to give the answer he was giving him concerning his convictions. Why would anyone choose to be unhappy?
But, it seems that some people are so determined to be unhappy that I hate to interrupt them and keep them from what they work so hard at! It is not the weather, or someone else….it is your decision, yours alone. Quit abusing yourself and blaming on someone else.
I think it was Pogo who said I met the enemy, and I knew him…it was myself.

Start Your Day Off Right Series 12/23
12/23–Start Your Day Off Right Series
Quote:
12/23–Church Signs:
Many turn from Jesus because of BAD EXPERIENCES
with RELIGIOUS PEOPLE.
Jesus also had a BAD EXPERIENCE with Religious people; THEY CRUCIFIED HIM!
Story:
12/23–I really enjoyed the following story, and hope you do too!One day a traveller was walking along a road on his journey from one village to another. As he walked he noticed a monk tending the ground in the fields beside the road. The monk said “Good day” to the traveller, and the traveller nodded to the monk. The traveller then turned to the monk and said “Excuse me, do you mind if I ask you a question?”.
Not at all,” replied the monk.
“I am travelling from the village in the mountains to the village in the valley and I was wondering if you knew what it is like in the village in the valley?”
Tell me,” said the monk, “What was your experience of the village in the mountains?”
Dreadful,” replied the traveller, “to be honest I am glad to be away from there. I found the people most unwelcoming. When I first arrived I was greeted coldly. I was never made to feel part of the village no matter how hard I tried. The villagers keep very much to themselves, they don’t take kindly to strangers. So tell me, what can I expect in the village in the valley?”
I am sorry to tell you,” said the monk, “but I think your experience will be much the same there”.
The traveller hung his head despondently and walked on.
A while later another traveller was journeying down the same road and he also came upon the monk.
I’m going to the village in the valley,” said the second traveller, “Do you know what it is like?”
I do,” replied the monk “But first tell me – where have you come from?”
“
I’ve come from the village in the mountains.”
And how was that?”
“It was a wonderful experience. I would have stayed if I could but I am committed to travelling on. I felt as though I was a member of the family in the village. The elders gave me much advice, the children laughed and joked with me and people were generally kind and generous. I am sad to have left there. It will always hold special memories for me. And what of the village in the valley?” he asked again.
I think you will find it much the same” replied the monk, “Good day to you”.
Good day and thank you,” the traveller replied, smiled, and journeyed on.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life:
weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Don’t Forget, Life Has An Expiration Date
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!

When a flashlight grows dim or quits working, do you just throw it away? Of course not. You change the batteries. When a person messes up or finds themselves in a dark place, do you cast them aside? Of course not! You help them change their batteries. Some need AA-Attention & Affection; some need AAA-Attention, Affection, & Acceptance; some need C-Compassion; some need D-Direction. And if they still don’t seem to shine; simply sit with them quietly & share your light.
