March 23, 2008 Easter
"A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror."
Lead your life so you won't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.
If your wife doesn't feel well, gentlemen, do what I do to speed her recovery ... offer to help with the housework. If you don't think there's such a thing as a miracle recovery, you ought to see my wife get well again every time I start to vacuum the windows.
A woman repeated a bit of gossip about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole community knew the story. The person it concerned was deeply hurt and offended. Later the woman responsible for spreading the rumor learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old sage to find out what she could do to repair the damage.
"Go to the marketplace," he said, "and purchase a chicken, and have it killed. Then on your way home, pluck its feathers and drop them one by one along the road."
Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.
The next day the wise man said, "Now go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me."
The woman followed the same road, but to her dismay, the wind had blown the feathers all away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.
"You see," said the old sage, "it's easy to drop them, but it's impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesn't take much to spread a rumor, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong."
Secrets Of Great Golf
A reporter was interviewing Jack Nicklaus. He said, "Jack, you are spectacular, your name is synonymous with the game of golf. You really know your way around the course. What is your secret?"
To which Jack replied, "The holes are numbered!"
All I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE I LEARNED FROM THE EASTER BUNNY
Don't put all of your eggs in one basket
Everyone needs a friend who is all ears
There's no such thing as too much candy
All work & no play can make you a basket case
Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day
Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits
Keep your paws off other people's jellybeans
Good things come in small sugar coated packages
The grass is always greener in someone else's basket
An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare
To show your true colors you have to come out of your shell
The best things in life are still sweet and gooey
A BLESSED Easter!
I cannot control the wind.... but I can adjust my sails.
Christ invites you to come but commands you to go.
The quickest way to get people interested in a project is to tell them it is none of their business.
Life, like a mirror, never gives back more than we put into it.
I can’t help but be concerned when my cereal box has a disclaimer on the back that says: “This cereal is well within the government guidelines for maximum acceptable radioactivity.”
God calls men when they are busy, Satan calls men when they are idle.
The Christian’s business is to populate heaven and depopulate hell.
Christ’s last act was to win a soul; His last command was to win souls; His last prayer was forgiveness for a soul.
The bringing of one soul to Jesus is the highest calling in life.
Faith in a creed can go stale, faith in Christ can be fresh every day.
I couldn’t stand my teenage son’s long hair any longer so I dragged him to the barber and told him to shave away. When he was done, I realized I had been raising someone’s else’s child.
Your standard of giving is far more important than your standard of living.
At the scene of a bank heist, the police chief ordered all the exits sealed off. But the perpetrators got away. “How could they get away if you sealed off all the exits?” he asked the policemen who had cordoned off the area. “Maybe they went out an entrance,” one replied.
Would you like to play with our new dog? He looks playful but does he bite? That’s what we want to find out.
When the Christian life becomes a life style and no longer a relationship with a Person - rather than growing in the grace and knowledge of the Savior, we will develop in the art of refining, polishing, and perfecting the flesh. Then we can have the programs and activities, methods and formulas, strategies and procedures, systems and theologies, political involvement and community service…religious causes…"how-to" seminars and self-help books…and even outstanding character qualities—all without Christ as our sufficiency! Our flesh is very creative and knows how to make itself appear and act spiritual, but it is still the flesh, and it is rotten to the core!
We do not laugh because we are happy. But rather, we are happy because we laugh.
The happiest people alive are those who know how to laugh often and well.
There are times when I think the whole world is against me. Then I come to my senses and realize that isn't true....some countries are neutral.
JOY 12
Just wanted you to know I have entered the snapdragon part of my life. Part of me has snapped........... and the rest of me is draggin.....
