ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

they’ll do something for the animal.”

A WORD FROM ABRAHAM LINCOLN
“You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging
thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the
strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down
the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of
man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot keep out of
trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot
build character and courage by taking away man’s
initiative and independence. You cannot help men
permanently by doing for them what they could and
should do for themselves.”
-- Abraham Lincoln

HEALTH WATCH
Keep washing your hands. Here’s more evidence that it
reduces the risk of colds and the flu: a large study of
Naval recruits at a training center in
when they washed their hands at least five times a day
they cut the rate of such respiratory illnesses by 45%.

ON MARRIAGE
“My marriage would be a whole lot better if only he or
she would change!”
I guess we’ve all heard this line before. However
blaming the other person for a less-than-ideal marriage
doesn’t change anything. The only person I can ever
change is myself. And as I change
almost forced to change -- sometimes for the better
not always as some people don’t want us to change. They
feel quite safe when we stay as we are.
Love includes our emotions
these. Love is a commitment of one imperfect person to
another imperfect person. When we have this attitude
new sense of realism enters the marriage and makes
growth possible.
Someone once said
to fall in love. But doing things with and for others helps
you to stay in love.”

SOAR WITH THE EAGLES
“But those who hope in the LORD will renew their
strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will
run and not grow weary
faint.” (Isaiah 40:31
Did you know that an eagle knows when the storm is
approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly
to some high spot and wait for the winds to come.
When the storm hits
will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the
storm rages below
eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm
to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
When the storms of life come upon us -- and all of us
will experience them -- [it may not be easy but] we can
rise above them by setting our minds and our belief in
Jesus
We can allow God’s power to lift us above them. God
enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring
sickness
lives. Remember
us down
Suggested prayer: “Dear God
and trust in you so that
around me
turbulence and become a better
result. Gratefully
-- Author of the Eagle story unknown
“The LORD bless you and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”
