–We might liken it to letting go of a bell rope. If you have ever seen an old school house with a bell on top, or an old church with a bell in the steeple, you will remember that to get the bell ringing you have to tug awhile.
Once it has begun to ring, you merely maintain the momentum. As long as you keep pulling, the bell keeps ringing.
Forgiveness is letting go of the rope. It is just that simple. But when you do so, the bell keeps ringing. Momentum is still at work. However, if you keep your hands off the rope, the bell will begin to slow and eventually stop. The unforgiving spirit will begin to slow, and will eventually be still. Forgiveness is not something you feel, it is something you do. It is letting go of the rope.

11/1–For past 10 years my wife has been complaining to me about not putting the cap back on the toothpaste. On our anniversary, I decided to change this bad habit and make my wife happy.
For a week I was diligent, always capping the toothpaste. I was expecting my wife to thank me, but she never did it.
Finally, last night she turned and looked at me and said, “Why did you stop brushing your teeth?!”
John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
You may be one person to the world but you may be the world to one person!!
It reminds me if the following song:
Song–“Wind Beneath My Wings”
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine, that’s your way
You always walked a step behind
So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
A beautiful face without a name for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain
Did you ever know that you’re my hero
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I’ve got it all here in my heart
I want you to know, I know the truth, of course
Iknow it
I would be nothing without you
Did you ever know that you’re my hero?
You’re everything I wish I could be
I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
Did I ever tell you you’re my hero?
You’re everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
‘Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
I remember the adults of my childhood, favorable and unfavorable impressions. I remember the ones that took time with me and the ones that had little or no time for me. I remember the ones who were generous and kind and those who were rude and stingy.
The good ones above were my “heroes” and made me want to pattern after them.
We all need heroes and we all should want to be a hero to others. Some young people desperately want and need a hero ( good pattern) in their lives!
Won’t you consider filling one of those spots

10/31–They say if you find something you’re willing to do for free then you’ve found your calling.
I definitely feel as if I’ve found mine.
Let’s get to work!
Story:
10/31–Opportunities Missed
There was a very cautious man
Who never laughed or played;
He never risked, he never tried,
He never sang or prayed.
And when he one day passed away
His insurance was denied;
For since he never really lived,
They claimed he never died!
The richest place in the world is the cemetery. It is richer than Fort Knox! There are apologies never made, Love never expressed, songs never sung, and sermons never preached. Don’t die with your song still within you!!!
I’m not afraid of dying… only to die before I’ve ever lived!

10/31–Potluck supper, prayer and medication to follow
If you can’t find two minutes, can you spare just one?
10/31–Can You Spare A Minute?
1/26–10/31–Charles Francis Adams, 19th century political figure and diplomat, kept a diary. One day he entered: “Went fishing with my son today–a day wasted.” His son, Brook Adams, also kept a diary, which is still in existence. On that same day, Brook Adams made this entry: “Went fishing with my father–the most wonderful day of my life!” The father thought he was wasting his time while fishing with his son, but his son saw it as an investment of time. The only way to tell the difference between wasting and investing is to know one’s ultimate purpose in life and to judge accordingly.

10/30– sometimes you don’t realize your own strength until you come face-to-face with your greatest weakness
Story:
Have The Right Blueprint And The Right Perspective
God says don’t build anything I haven’t given you a strategy for or a blueprint. God said if I give you a strategy or blue print that means I’m getting ready to use you!
The only difference in you and the person you admire is this perspective they have on life! If you are disciplined in your perspective, you will be victorious in your outcome!!
It is like going to the eye Doctor so
that you can see better. If you are not Thankful, then you need to get an Spiritual adjustment for your Spiritual eyesight!
One thing I do, that you might try, is putting a reminder on your phone, three times a day, to be more thankful.
Well, that’s pretty petty you might think, how could that work? Just try it for 21 days and see what it does, you may just get surprised!
Your perspective is critical to being an overcomer because it’s not what happens to you, it’s how you react to what happens to you that matters. Ability to manage problems is what separates the CEO from the janitor.
The higher up you go the more problems you will encounter and your ability to have the proper perspective under fire is critical and it takes much discipline. It takes discipline to remain cool and calm under fire.

The “Coronary and Ulcer Club” lists the following rules for members…
1. Your job comes first. Forget everything else.
2. Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are fine times to be working at the office. There will be nobody else there to bother you.
3. Always have your briefcase with you when not at your desk. This provides an opportunity to review completely all the troubles and worries of the day.
4. Never say “no” to a request. Always say “yes.”
5. Accept all invitations to meetings, banquets, committees, etc.
6. All forms of recreation are a waste of time.
7. Never delegate responsibility to others; carry the entire load yourself.
8. If your work calls for traveling, work all day and travel at night to keep that appointment you made for eight the next morning.
9. No matter how many jobs you already are doing, remember you always can take on more.
