2/16–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

2/16–Church Signs:

The POOREST PERSON is not the one WITHOUT MONEY;

It is the ONE WITHOUT GOD!

Story:

Scripture:

Hebrews 12:1

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Humor:

2/16–Who was the first tennis player in the Bible? Joseph because he served in pharaoh’s court.

While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground.  “That’s my son over there,” she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide.  “

He’s a fine looking boy”, the man said. “That’s my daughter on the bike in the white dress.”

Then, looking at his watch, he called to his daughter. “What do you say we go, Melissa?”  Melissa pleaded, “Just five more minutes, Dad. Please? Just five more minutes.”  The man nodded and Melissa continued to ride her bike to her heart’s content. 

Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his daughter. “Time to go now?”

Again Melissa pleaded, “Five more minutes, Dad. Just five more minutes.”  The man smiled and said, “OK.”  “My, you certainly are a patient father,” the woman responded.

The man smiled and then said, “Her older brother Tommy was killed by a drunk driver last year while he was riding his bike near here. I never spent much time with Tommy and now I’d give anything for just five more minutes with him. 

I’ve vowed not to make the same mistake with Melissa.  She thinks she has five more minutes to ride her bike. The truth is, I get five more minutes to watch her play.”

Moral of the Story: Life as a student can be downright hectic but as long as your priorities are straight, you’ll be able to make the most out of your hard work. In the story, the man learned the hard way to prioritize his family on top of all others. No matter how busy things get, don’t forget to spend time with people that matters to you!

2/15–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quotes:

2/15– Hold your head and your standards high even as people or circumstances try to pull you down.

Story:

Once there were three trees standing on the hillside. There was a oak tree on one side and a pine tree on the other side and then in the middle was a little cedar tree.       One day a mighty storm came through and blew  and the mighty oak tree slid down the hill. The wind kept blowing and in a little while  the pine tree slid down the hill. But when the wind finally stopped blowing, the cedar tree was left standing. The people of that area began to wonder how it was that the cedar tree survived.      They got a their shovels and started digging down and they dug and dug ….down until they saw why the cedar stood while bigger and mightier trees slid down the hill. Its roots has wrapped themselves  around a big huge rock under the ground. So when the winds of the storms and the spiritual storms blow  if you wrap your roots around the Spiritual Rock which is Christ Jesus, you can stand even the mightiest of storms!!  

    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!      

Scripture:

Ephesians 3:14-20

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Humor:

2/15–Why do they say “Amen” at the end of a prayer instead of “Awomen”? Same reason we sing Hymns instead of Hers.

During the gold rush, a man who had been mining in Colorado for several months quit his job, as he hadn’t struck gold yet and the work was becoming tiresome.  He sold his equipment to another man who resumed mining where it had been left off. The new miner was advised by his engineer that there was gold only three feet away from where the first miner stopped digging.

The engineer was right, which means the first miner was a mere three feet away from striking gold before he quit.

The Moral:

When things start to get hard, try to persevere through the adversity. Many people give up on following their dreams because the work becomes too difficult, tedious, or tiresome–but often, you’re closer to the finish line than you may think, and if you push just a little harder, you will succeed.

Scripture:

Revelation 2:7

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

2/14–What kind of man was Boaz before he married Ruth? Absolutely Ruthless

A  rattlesnake bit one of my sheep in the face about a week ago. Deadliest snake that lives around here. The sheep’s face swelled up

 and hurt her terribly.

But the old rattlesnake didn’t know what kind of blood flows through the sheep. Anti-venom is most often made from the sheep’s blood. The sheep swelled for about 2 days but the blood of the lamb fest the venom of the serpent.

Often  the serpents in this life  will reach out and bite us. They inject poison into us but they cannot overcome the Blood Of The Lamb   that washes away sin  of the world and the sting of death.  Don’t worry about the serpent or his bite just make sure the Lamb’s  blood is flowing through your veins

2/13–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote: 

No matter how alone you seem to be right now , just be aware that in this precise moment there are huge amounts of people who totally resonate with you,  who share exactly your hopes and desires , who would be most happy to support you just as you , just as you would be happy to support them. Be open to connect with them and allow them to connect with you!

Story:

A man took his children to a restaurant. The six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As heads were bowed he said, “God is great and God is Good. Let us thank Him for the food, and I would even thank you more if mom gets us ice-cream for dessert. And liberty and justice for all! Amen!”

Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby they heard a woman remark, “That’s what’s wrong with this country. Kids today don’t even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!”

Hearing this, the son burst into tears and asked, “Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?” As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, and elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my son and said, “I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer.” “Really?” the son asked.

“Cross my heart.” Then in theatrical whisper he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), “Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes.”

Naturally, Dad bought the boy’s ice cream at the end of the meal. The boy stared at his for a moment and then did something that will be remembered for the rest of life. He picked up his sundae and without a word walked over and placed it in front of the woman.

With a big smile he told her, “Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes and my soul is good already.”

Scripture:

Acts 20:35

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Humor:

Why didn’t Noah ever go fishing? -Because he only had two worms.

The Right Perspective

 A landscape artist does not always stand at an arm’s length from his canvas. He must not limit his attention to the isolated details of what he is doing. Occasionally he steps back to view his work from a distance. He needs to see how his thousands of small brushstrokes fit together to produce an overall result.

 Likewise, our perspective on life is much improved if sometime we can step back and see it whole. We can become so occupied with its daily brushstrokes that we have no real perception of the whole scene we are painting on the canvas of the ongoing years. Our attentions can be so consumed by the requirements of daily living that we have little awareness of the dimensions and directions of life itself. 

Step back from the canvas a little, and try to see the picture whole. Look beyond the varied episodes of our daily doings and see the glory of it all. Look beyond the brushstrokes to see the art which the brushstrokes have made-and are making. “But we all… beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2Co 3:18).
