A man became envious of his friends because they had larger and more luxurious homes. So he listed his house with a real estate firm, planning to sell it and to purchase a more impressive home.
Shortly afterward, as he was reading the classified section of the newspaper, he saw an ad for a house that seemed just right. He promptly called the realtor and said, “A house described in today’s paper is exactly what I’m looking for. I would like to go through it as soon as possible!” The agent asked him several questions about it and then replied, “But sir, that’s your house your describing.”

A pointed fable is told about a young lion and a cougar. Both thirsty, the animals arrived at their usual water hole at the same time. They immediately began to argue about who should satisfy their thirst first. The argument became heated, and each decided he would rather die than give up the privilege of being first to quench his thirst.
As they stubbornly confronted each other, their emotions turned to rage. Their cruel attacks on each other were suddenly interrupted. They both looked up. Circling overhead was a flock of vultures waiting for the loser to fall. Quietly, the two beasts turned and walked away. The thought of being devoured was all they needed to end their quarrel.

10/15–What are the most wasted days is one without laughter
10/15–Here’s another one:
“Just up the road from my home is a field with two horses in it. From a distance, each looks like every other horse. But if you stop your car or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing. Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him. This alone is amazing.
If nearby and listening, you will hear the sound of a bell. Looking around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field. Attached to her halter is a small bell. It lets her blind friend know where she is, so he can follow her. As you stand and watch these two friends, you’ll see how she is always checking on him, and that he will listen for her bell and then slowly walk to where she is, trusting that she will not lead him astray.
When she returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, she stops occasionally and looks back, making sure her friend isn’t too far behind to hear the bell.
Like the owner of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect or because we have problems or challenges. God watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us when we are in need.
Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the little ringing bell of those whom God places in our lives. Other times, we are the guide horse, helping others see the way.
Good friends are like this. You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there.
Please listen for my bell, and I’ll listen for yours.”

Waiting on Opportunity to Knock
Waiting on opportunity to arrive– Some people associate the word waiting with a picture of waiting at the bus stop. Opportunity is not just going to magically show up at your door step and knock loudly. I seriously doubt it. Rather, I believe waiting means doing everything that you can do and then (and not until then) expect opportunity to be there. It will take a lot of patience though. Opportunity is made rather than it just happens. Whatever you sow is what you will reap. If you like apples, plan a lot of apple seeds. I love encouragement, so I try to sow a lot of encouragement seeds.

10/14– Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle your arrive in!
Story:
10/14–The moso is a bamboo plant that grows in China and the Far East. After the moso is planted, no visible growth occurs for up to five years – event under ideal conditions!
Then, unbelievably, it suddenly begins growing at the rate of nearly two and one half feet per day, reaching a full height of ninety feet within six weeks. The moso’s rapid growth is due to the miles of roots it develops during those first five years, five years of getting ready.
May it be that as we, and our students mature, Eph. 2:17 becomes true in our case, that we “may be rooted and established on the foundation.”

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Humor:
There’s a man sitting at a bar just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half an hour. Then, a big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down.
The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, “Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I’ll buy you another drink. I just can’t stand seeing a man crying.”
“No, it’s not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I’m late to my office. My boss, in an outrage, fires me. When I leave the building to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police say they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away. I go home and when I get there, I find my wife sleeping with the gardener. I leave home and come to this bar. And when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison.”
