Do Not Compete Or Compare Yourself With Anyone

How much are you worth?

Paul Harvey tells the story of a young rookie lawyer who was sitting in his new office waiting for his first client. When he heard the outer door open, he quickly tried to sound very busy.

 As the man entered the office, the young lawyer picked up the telephone and said, “Bill, I’m flying to New York on the Mitchell Brothers thing; it looks like it’s going to be a biggie. Also, we’ll need to bring Carl in from Houston on the Cimarron Case. By the way, Al Cunningham and Pete Finch want to come in with me as partners. Bill, you’ll have to excuse me, somebody just came in…”

He hung up and turned to the man who had just entered and said, “How may I help you?”

The man said, “I’m here to hook up the phone!”

We do not have to exaggerate our supposed talents or abilities to be acceptable to Jesus.

He loves us anyhow.

1/6–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

1/6–Celebrate Your Difference

Story:

 A company hired a new CEO. This new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. 

While taking a tour around the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The room was full of workers and he thought that this was his chance to show everyone he meant business! 

The CEO walked up the man and asked, “And how much money do you make?” A bit surprised, the young man looked at him and replied, “I make $ 700 a week. Why do you ask?” 

The CEO took out some cash and handed the man $ 700 in cash and then screamed to him, “Here! This is your last pay, now get out because you are fired!” 

That was his first firing and he felt pretty good about it! He looked around and asked the workers, “Does anybody know what that slacker did here?” With a grin, one of the workers muttered, “He’s the pizza delivery guy, Sir.””

Scripture:

Matthew 7:1-2

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Humor:

1/6–A minister parked his car in a parking zone in a large city and attached the following message to his windshield I have circled is blocked 10 times I have an appointment to keep forgive us of our trespasses when he returned his car he found this reply note along with the ticket I’ve circled the block for 10 years if I don’t give you a ticket I lose my job, lead us not into temptation

Watch Out For Anger, It Is Very Dangerous

Anger can be lethal. Dr. Lewis Smedes, one of America’s foremost ethicists, told of writing a book on forgiveness. As a part of the book promotion campaign, he appeared on a talk show where people could call in and respond to what he had said.

One lady called and said her child had been killed by a drunk driver and there was no way she could forgive the driver of the automobile. Before Dr. Smedes could answer her, another lady called and said, “I lllhad the same experience.

Four years ago, a drunk killed my son. For two years I held on to my anger and hoped for revenge. Then one day, I realized that the man who killed my son was killing me.”

Let go of anger or it will destroy you. If you hold onto a lighted match long enough, you are the one who will be burned.

1/5– Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

1/5–Being Humble

Story:

1/5—Plato wrote the first sentence of his famous Republic nine different ways before he was satisfied.

Cicero practiced speaking before friends every day for thirty years to perfect his elocution.

Noah Webster labored 36 years writing his dictionary, crossing the Atlantic twice to gather material.

Milton rose at 4:00 am every day in order to have enough hours for his Paradise Lost.

Gibbon spent 26 years on his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

Bryant rewrote one of his poetic masterpieces 99 times before publication, and it became a classic.

It is said that Thomas Edison performed 50,000 (sic) experiments before he succeeded in producing a storage battery. We might assume the famous inventor would have had some serious doubts along the way. But when asked if he ever became discouraged working so long without results, Edison replied, “Results? Why, I know 50,000 things that won’t work.”

Today in the Word, August, 1990.

If thou faint in the day of adversity,

thy strength is small.

Humor:

1/5 & 5/2–While making my postal rounds, I delivered bulk mail from an insur ance company addressed to “The safe driver at…” The next day, one of my customers kicked the envelope back to me after having written on it, “No such person at this address.”

Trying To Get Even Hurts You The Most

Some people love to get even. Clint Eastwood does it. Rambo did it. On the old television show know as AMOS AND ANDY, Amos was extremely distraught over a guy who kept poking his finger on Amos’ chest every time he spoke to him.

Either too small or too scared to challenge the fellow physically, Amos explained his game plan to Andy in saying, “I’m going to put nitroglycerin on my chest and the next time he pokes at me he will blow his finger off!”

When you try to get even—you get hurt. Relationships are built on the basis of love—which keeps no record of wrongs and forgives!
