Would You Bend And Forget Your Image To Save Someone?

7/15 I heard of story of a man that was so inflexible that he wouldn’t bend for anything or anybody. He was in a boat with another person who fell out of the boat. He could’ve easily reached down and got a hold of that person but it would require him to bend. So for the sake of his image he let the other person perish!

Story:

If I Had My Life To Live Over

The following was written by the late Erma Bombeck after she found out she had a fatal disease.

If I had my life to live over, I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the ‘good’ living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass.

This is so true! In life there are no practice runs or laps. There are also no re-do’s. We only have one time through to get it right….so, we had better make it good!!

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

The Lesson Of The Strangler Fig

The Lesson of the strangler fig

Today while I was hiking, I approached this beautiful old tree. It was like the tree was reaching out toward the sky. As I looked closer I noticed that it wasn’t one tree but two. My guide Peter explained that the tree was a beautiful oak tree and the roots growing around it was called a strangler fig. He went on to explain that the only way a strangler fig survives is to attach itself to another tree. Over the course of years to fix slowly cuts off the nourishment of the Oak tree and as a result it ultimately kills the oak tree.

I sat and thought about how profound that Oaktree was and thought about how many strangler figs try to penetrate our lives.

People who attach themselves to us while we were growing and appear to be rising up with us, but in truth they are slowly draining the life out of us—people who are not able to make it on their own so they reach out to stronger people so they can live, without concern for others, just themselves.

By the time we realize what is happening, it is too late. We don’t have the strength to fight –

and just slowly die.

It is important for us to take a deep look into our souls and decide for ourselves which role we will allow the strangler fig to play in our lives—and how we must prevent the grasping strangler fig from draining the life out of us so that we may become the mighty oak that reaches for the stars knowing there are no limits’

This is not my original work, don’t know who it belongs to but it is so good!

Quote:

You Can’t Wait Till Life Isn’t Hard Before You Decide To Be Happy

Story:

It’s not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred with the sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause and who, at best knows the triumph of high achievement and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” (Theodore Roosevelt, 1858-1919, 26th US President and 1906 Nobel Peace Prize-winner.)

Scripture:

Psalms 27:13-14

I had fainted, unless I had believed

to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Wait on the LORD:

be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Can You Spare A Minute 7/14?

youtube.com/shorts/vqMoRiXDMeY

If you can find two minutes, can you spare just one?

The north wind and the sun argued which was the stronger. On seeing a traveller they agreed a suitable test would be to strip him of his cloak.

First the wind blew with all his might, but the more he blew, the more than man wrapped the cloak tightly around himself.

When the sun’s turn came, he gently beamed at the man, who loosened the cloak. The sun shone brighter still, and the man threw off his cloak.

Could That Be Jesus Knocking?

A nurse on the pediatric ward, before listening to the little one’s chests, would plug the stethoscope into their ears and let them listen to their own heart.

Their eyes would always light up with awe, but she never got a response equal to four year old David’s comment

Gently she tucked the stethoscope into his ear and placed the disk over his heart.

“Listen, she said… what do you suppose that is? He drew his eyebrows together in a puzzled line and looked up as if lost in the mystery of the strange tap-tap-tapping deep in his chest.

Then his face broke out in a wondrous grin and he asked,

“Is that Jesus knocking?”
