Life is short, spring into action and live today’s beginning
A little story for you today…
One day, there was a blind man sitting on the steps of a building with a sign by his feet, that read: "I am blind, please help."
A creative publicist was walking by the blind man and stopped to observe that the man only had a few coins in his hat. He put a few of his own coins in the hat, and without stopping to ask for permission, took the sign, turned it around, and wrote a new message. He then placed the sign by the feet of the blind man, and left.
Later that afternoon the creative publicist returned by the blind man and noticed that his hat was almost completely full of bills and coins. The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked if it was him who had changed his sign? He also wanted to know what the man wrote on it?
The publicist replied: "I just changed your message so people could relate to it." He wished the man well, said goodbye, and went on his way.
The blind man didn't know it, but his new sign now read:
"TODAY IS SPRING AND I CANNOT SEE IT"
The Moral of the Story:
1. CHANGE YOUR STRATEGY WHEN THINGS AREN'T WORKING.
2. HAVE FAITH THAT YOUR CHANGE WILL BE FOR THE BEST.
GOOD MORNING!
And Happy R&R day to you all. At least I do hope you are getting some rest and relaxation today. I’ll be off to get my weekly dose of R & R at church pretty soon, that is my refreshment and renewal to get me though another week for sure.
It’s also Mother’s Day in England and for my UK friends I’d like to say Happy Mother’s Day to you all. We in the US don’t celebrate it until May.
I’ll be praying as always for each of you and the good Lord knows all your needs so I’m sure that any prayers will be answered…they always are.
Always know with the deepest love, God listens.
In ways neither you nor any other person may be able to understand,
God does more than listen, He acts.
You may never see what God does or how He does it.
You may live for the rest of your life
and never know what God does as a result of your faith in Him.
However, in God you can believe, in God you can hope,
in God you can trust, and in God you can find
comfort in the storms of life
Don’t forget my theme for the month -- Life is short, spring into action and live today’s beginning.
We can all live with hope of new beginnings. Today is just the first day of the rest of our lives.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is.
And when you've got it, you want -
oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want,
but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!
Mark Twain
May your day be filled with blessings
As new as Spring
As fragrant as flowers
As full as your heart can hold.
