Don’t Forget The Lessons Of Childhood

Robert Fulghum wrote in the Kansas City Times, “Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandbox at nursery school. 

“These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don’t take things that aren’t yours. Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody . . . When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. “

This writer has captured part of what Jesus meant when he said, “Unless you become like little children, you won’t enter the kingdom of heaven.”    

1 Corinthians 14:20

Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

My Father And Mother wanted me to have good grades, but more than anything, they wanted me to have good conduct.

Story:

Well the thing for you and me to do is just be content in whatever state we are in! 

Philippians 4: 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I live right on the state line so if I get discontent in one state is Paul saying that I can move to the other state and be happy. No friend, just be happy with where you are at with whatever you have! 

Be content with what you have because, you may be like Esau and get what you wanted but lose what you have. Or, you may be like Judas and get the thirty pieces of silver but lose what you already have. 

Your wife may have gained a hundred pounds since the wedding, but you had better be thankful for her. She keeps your clothes pressed and the kids and house clean. If she has a good meal on the table three times a day, you might better hold on to her! 

Wives, your husband may have gained a hundred pounds and lost his hair. But if he makes you and your children a good living, loves and takes care of you and your kids, you’d better not let him go either. So many people have traded something good off to find out that it was much better than what they traded for. 

If you have food on the table, a savings account, didn’t have to sleep in a car, you are so much better off than millions who don’t have those things. There are people overseas who would almost paddle a canoe to get to the United States and be where you are at. You had better be thankful! We have a life that some people only dream about. You had better hang on to your place and what you have got, there are people who would gladly trade with you.

Scripture:

Matthew 6:25

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

How The Mule Came Up Out Of The Hole

One day a farmer’s donkey fell into a well. The farmer frantically thought what to do as the stricken animal cried out to be rescued.

With no obvious solution, the farmer regretfully concluded that as the donkey was old, and as the well needed to be filled in anyway, he should give up the idea of rescuing the beast, and simply fill in the well. Hopefully the poor animal would not suffer too much, he tried to persuade himself.

The farmer asked his neighbours help, and before long they all began to shovel earth quickly into the well. When the donkey realised what was happening he wailed and struggled, but then, to everyone’s relief, the noise stopped.

After a while the farmer looked down into the well and was astonished by what he saw.

The donkey was still alive, and progressing towards the top of the well. The donkey had discovered that by shaking off the dirt instead of letting it cover him, he could keep stepping on top of the earth as the level rose. Soon the donkey was able to step up over the edge of the well, and he happily trotted off.

Life tends to shovel dirt on top of each of us from time to time. The trick is to shake it off and take a step up.

Story:

Let The Silence Settle 

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.

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:

and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

The Power Of Being A Team Player

Have you ever noticed that even the strongest horse can pull more when paired with another? There is power in teamwork. While individual talent is valuable, people who learn to work well with others often accomplish far more than those who insist on going it alone.

Being a team player doesn’t mean giving up your individuality. It means understanding that everyone has strengths, weaknesses, and contributions to offer. A team player celebrates the success of others, lends a helping hand when needed, and puts the good of the group ahead of personal recognition.

The Bible reminds us in Ecclesiastes 4:9, “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.” God never intended for us to travel through life alone. Whether in our families, churches, workplaces, or communities, we are stronger when we support one another.

One of the greatest tests of character is being willing to serve without needing the spotlight. Team players don’t have to receive all the credit. They understand that the victory belongs to everyone. They encourage others, share responsibilities, and help create an atmosphere where everyone can succeed.

Think about a sports team. The crowd may cheer the player who scores the winning point, but countless others contributed to that moment. Someone played defense. Someone made the pass. Someone encouraged a struggling teammate. Success is rarely the result of one person alone.

Today, look for opportunities to be a better team player. Offer encouragement. Listen to another person’s ideas. Be willing to help carry someone else’s burden. Celebrate the victories of others as if they were your own.

When people work together with humility, respect, and a common purpose, amazing things happen. Great teams build great families, great churches, great businesses, and great communities.

Today’s Challenge: Find one way to help someone else succeed today without expecting anything in return.

Today’s Prayer: Lord, help me to work well with others. Teach me to be humble, encouraging, and supportive. Help me to value the contributions of those around me and to use my gifts for the good of the team. Amen.

Remember: Alone we can do much, but together we can do far more. Be the kind of person who makes every team stronger simply by being part of it.
