The Lesson Jimmy Durante Learn From A Performance

Jimmy Durante was asked to do a show for World War II veterans. He told them his schedule was busy but he would come do a short monologue and immediately leave for another performance. He finished his monologue and then started on another. And then another. The applause grew louder and louder.

Finally, after a thirty-minute presentation, he left to the loud applause of the crowd.

The director of the benefit met Mr. Durante backstage and asked, “What happened? I thought you had to go after a few minutes”.

Jimmy answered, “I did, but I can show you the reason I stayed.” He pointed to two men, each of whom had lost an arm in the war, sitting on the front row. One had lost his right arm and the other had lost his left. Sitting next to each other they were able to clap using the single hand of the other. Are you grateful?

My Toy Marble Taught Me A Lesson About Talent

youtube.com/watch

The Lesson I learned from my toy marble!

Matthew 25:14-30

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goodstalen. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

3/9–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quotes:

3/9–All people smile in the same language

Story:

3/9–Patience—-You only need as much patience for the other person as you would like for them to have for you. I heard a story about a lady whose car had gone dead at a traffic light and wouldn’t start back. The man in the car behind her repeatedly blew his horn. The lady got out of her car and wnt back to his car. She suggested that if he would try to start her car, she would gladly keep his horn going for him. You only need as much patience for the kids of someone else as you want them to have for yours.

A 2006 survey of more than 1,000 adults discovered that most people take an average of 17 minutes to lose their patience while waiting in line. Also, most people lose their patience in only 9 minutes while on hold on the phone. Impatience is a common trait.

Scripture:

Luke 21:19

In your patience possess ye your souls.

Humor:

3/9–These guys, one a pessimist and the other an eternal optimist, had been friends for years.

The optimist was always trying to get his pal to see the bright side of things. The optimist found a dog that could walk on water. This is perfect, he thought. There’s no way that cynic can say anything negative about this. He took his friend duck hunting so he could see the dog in action. Mid-morning, they finally downed a bird. It fell on the other side of the lake, so the optimist sent the dog to retrieve it. The animal trotted across the water, grabbed the duck in his mouth, and ran back. “Isn’t that amazing?” “Hmmph,” the cynic said. “That dog can’t swim, can it?”

Remove All Harmful Thoughts From Your Mind

Harmful thoughts—Remove all harmful thoughts out of your mind. One by one, they must go! Evict them, for they are an undesirable, uninvited guests. Don’t set a place for them at your table. You are, after all , what you eat (think)! Bad thoughts are bad for your well being, and will definitely make you sick.

Be like the hotel that has all the guests it needs for one night, put out a no vacancy sign. Let bad thoughts know they are not welcome where you are.

Like Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke, invite the univited and unwanted to leave immediately, or you will be sure to personally escort them out.

Everything In Life Has An Expiration Date, Even Life Itself

My uncle used to say if he couldn’t take it with him he didn’t want to go. The reality is we all are going to die and we can’t take anything with us. Therefore, we have to use it before we die to do anyone any good.

Everything in life has an expiration date. Just like the date manufacturers put on all the goods they sell that tells the last date it is safe for us that we should use their product. There is no guarantee for us to use it after that certain date.

Similarly, there is a limited time for us to be able to do what we intend to do. So we must get busy to get done the items on our mission statement, and our to do list and our bucket lists.

I had a bad heart attack in July, 2012. They said I cheated death and that I was at Death’s door! I was in the hospital for about seven days and four of those I spent in the Critical Care Unit or CCU. You had better believe that I reviewed my life and all the things I should’ve and could’ve done.

I knew that even though I might have cheated Death that Death would be back for me again one day. Having this knowledge, I found it inexcusable that I wouldn’t be ready next time. So that’s what I’m doing at this moment trying to mark off some items. on my bucket list. No one else can do that for you. The responsibility lies in you and in you alone!

What The Prayer If Jabez Taught Me, 1 Chronicles 4:9,10

The prayer of Jabez!

1 Chronicles 4:9-10

And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

3/7–If the feelings are mutual the effort will be equal

Story:

3/7–When You Thought I Wasn’t Looking

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator and I wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you feed a stray cat, and I thought it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you make my favorite cake just for me, and I understood that little special things.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I heard you say a prayer and I believed that is a God that I could always talk to.

You thought I wasn’t looking about you kiss me good night, and I felt loved.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw tears come from your eyes and I learned sometimes things hurt but it’s all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw that you cared I wanted to be everything I could be!

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn’t looking!

Scripture:

Matthew 6:3-4

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

Humor:

ANONYMOUS

A man called up the local armory to get a report on the number and status of the weapons and vehicles. A private answered the phone and said, “We’ve got 3 jeeps, 4 tanks, 500 rifles, and a ton of ammo. Oh, we also have two Cadillacs for the fat generals.”

There was silence, then this response, “Private, do you know who I am?”

“No.”

“I’m General Westin.”

“General, do you know who I am?”

“No.”

“See you later, fatty.”
