If you can’t find two minutes, can you spare just one?

7/12– Can You Spare A Minute?

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!

So, You Think You Are Having It Rough?

So, you’re having a rough day—  Who and what are you comparing it to?  You woke up this morning, millions didn’t.  

Did you sleep in a car last night, millions were homeless.  Did you have more good health than sickness?, so many don’t.  Do you have a bank account, food in a cabinet or refrigerator?

What to do when you are feeling sorry for yourself… Go to the hospital, nursing home, funeral home, junenile detention home (while there be glad your loved ones aren’t there).  Go visit some old folks and just listen, they don’t need you to say anything.  Have you still got your right mind?  I know several folks who don’t.  They were once smart, maybe smarter than you and me.

Pity Parties…Has anyone ever attended any you have had.  If they did I’m sure they didn’t stay long. If you have success with feeling sorry for yourself, go for it…as for me, count me out.  Even Job in the Bible, with all his troubles, was required to stand on his feet like a man.

Try to make someone else happy and  to feel important–There is not any way to make someone else happy and not get some of it for yourself.

The day you learn to get your mind off yourself long enough to think of others, is the day your life will take on a different meaning.  A life of serving others makes a very rich, fulfilling life.

Be Positive—When you get negativity out of your life, take notice how others react to you.

 You’ll see a great difference!  You will never want to go back to the old way.  

Play more offense and less defense…Michael Jordan remarked that too many players at the end of the game were concentrating on not losing, rather than on winning. Some are thinking so heavily on reacting, that they are not nearly proactive as they need to be.   Instead of waiting on someone else to initiate the mood (your mood), try setting the tone to the one you want.  You have a choice, don’t let anyone or anything take that from you.

7/11–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

Story:

A heavy snowfall can cripple large trees like elm and oak due to the weight breaking off the branches.

On the other hand, evergreens droop with the burden until it slides off.

So, too, we should not let burdens break us down. Bend a little perhaps but not break.

Scripture:

Romans 12:1-2

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Can You Spare A Minute 7/11?

7/11– Can You Spare A Minute?

Love is the greatest and most powerful force on earth. It is more powerful than any volcano, earthquake, or tornado. If I have $100 and give you $50, how much do I have left? I have $50 and you have $

50. But, if I give you all my love, then you have all that you will or can receive and I still have all the love I originally had (probably more). $10 in plus $10 is only $20, but multiplied it becomes $100. Is that not better? Of course it is.d

The Lessons Of Forgiveness From Joseph

youtube.com/watch

You could be big, but you let little get hold of you

Genesis 45:1-5

Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren. And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence. And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.

The Story Of The Crabs In A Barrel

Crabs In A Barrel

Crabs In A Barrel

“Crabs in a barrel is a story I’ve heard motivational speaker Craig Valentine tell! He said you could put crabs and a big barrel and leave the lid off and still none of them would get out. Just to soon as one crab started getting near the top of crab below would reach up and pull him back down. Craig compared it to us humans. If we are slightly below another and they begin to rise we have a tendency to try to pull them back now. If we say that we are going to write a book they say, “don’t you know that you probably won’t be successful?” They ask if we know how many people have written books that didn’t sell even one hundred copies? They seemingly want to dash some water on your fire. They ask the question “what do you want to do that for.””

Quote:

Is your whole church singing out of the same songbook?

UNITY will MOVEtheCHURCH forward!

Story:

I read the following poem once that I would like to share with you. I’m sorry I do not know the author to credit.

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!

How many reading this go through life playing defense? They are so afraid of making a mistake they don’t try anything. I say go for it because you never know until you try. I say play offense because life will only give back to you in proportion to that which have put in.

Can You Spare A Minute 7/10?

If you can’t find two minutes, can you spare just one?

7/10–Can You Spare A Minute?

Father to his son: don’t ever let anybody tell you that you can’t do something…. not even me.

If you have a dream…. you have to protect it! When people can’t do something themselves .. they want to tell you that you can’t do it. If you want something go get it, period.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate but that we are powerful beyond. measure! Is our light not our darkness is that for most frightens us. You’re playing small does not serve the

world there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were all meant to shine as children do. It’s not distant some of us it’s in everyone. As we unconsciously let our own light shine we give others permission to do the same as we are liberated from our own fear. Our presence automatically liberates others. In this lifetime, you don’t have to prove anything to nobody except yourself!! You need to keep negotiating with your mind to find more strength…. but you keep going.

Dream big, don’t ever give up. Help other people achieve success and you will be successful! The biggest seller is cookbooks and the second is diet books –how not to eat what you’ve just learned how to cook.

Don’t Focus Only On The Dark Places

One day a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. The professor handed out the question paper, with the text facing down as usual.

Once he handed them all out, he asked his students to turn the page and begin. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions….just a black dot in the center of the page.

The professor seeing the expression on everyone’s face told them the following: “I want you to write what you see there.”

The students confused, got started on the difficult task. At the end of the class, the professor took all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students.

All of them, with no exceptions, described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet, etc. etc. etc.

After all, had been read, the classroom silent, so the professor began to explain:

I am not going to grade you on this; I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper.

Everyone focused on the black dot – and the same happens in our lives. We have a white paper to observe and enjoy, but we always focus on the dark spots.

Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebrate – nature renewing itself every day, our friends around us, the job that provides our livelihood, the miracles we see every day…….

However, we insist on focusing only on the dark spots – the health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend, a.s.o.

The dark spots are tiny compared to everything we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds.
