Once when a Lion was asleep a little Mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him.
Pardon, O King,” cried the little Mouse: “forgive me this time, I shall never forget it: who knows but what I may be able to do you a turn some of these days?” The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go.
Some time after the Lion was caught in a trap, and the hunters who desired to carry him alive to the King, tied him to a tree while they went in search of a waggon to carry him on.
Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, and seeing the sad plight in which the Lion was, went up to him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the King of the Beasts. “Was I not right?” said the little Mouse. Little friends may prove great friends.

God’s PURPOSE for YOU is WAY BIGGER than ANYONE’S OPINION of YOU!
Story:
Galatians 6: 7. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
This is a law not a suggestion. This is a law, like the law of gravity. A law is not a fluke that happens just every once in a while. No, it happens every time. Like the way the law of gravity operates. Every time you jump up, you will come down somewhere, sometime.
God is not mocked. If I went into a restaurant and ordered a meal then I am expected to give some method of payment to the restaurant. If I just got up and walked out the restaurant would not be able to operate very long. If I don’t pay they don’t intend to be mocked. They will probably get some person in authority to help them recover their money that is owed to them.”

If you  can’t find two minutes, can you spare just one?
7/3–Can You Spare A Minute
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!
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
All of us had more reason to sing than he, but he was the one singing!
Their thoughts were occupied, their agendas were full and he was… well, he was a blind beggar.
His song was all that he had. Though sightless, penniless hobo, he still found a song and sang it courageously. (I wondered which room in his heart that song came from.)
The blind man could be the most peaceful fellow on the streets!
Faith is the bird that sings while it is still dark.
And though I was the one with eyes, it was he who gave me a new vision.

Perspective–seasoned by experience, you begin to understand what not to worry about. So that you can put your efforts into that which is productive and not in that which will energize your enemies by focusing on them and what they are trying to do.
If you start speaking to them you give life to them and make them bigger by focusing on them. You need to ignore what they are doing, and keep on doing what you are called to do. Because whatever you put your attention on you give life to. You make something or somebody important the moment you give it or them attention.
Whatever you give attention to you make important. If you want to kill something, ignore it. A lot of time Jesus answered them not a word. Let the silence settle.

12/31– 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.””
— Building Take Skill, Tearing Down None by J D Canter
Once there were three trees standing on the hillside. There was an 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!!
