COMPLIMENT FROM A FOOL

"And remember this: a compliment from a fool is really an insult and an insult from a fool is really a compliment. Make sure you consider the source."

Chase The Lion is so quotable!! Inspiration for day after day after day. This one reminded me of something my husband would say. When I showed him, he smiled and nodded.

More tomorrow.

AFRAID

I wish I had no idea what Batterson was talking about.

WIN, LOSE, OR TRY

"God doesn't always call us to win.

Sometimes He calls us to just try.

Either way, it's obedience that glorifies God."

A little late in life perhaps, but I'm preparing my heart to take risks. I'm expecting failures/ mistakes and some rich surprises.

THE LESSON I DIDN'T LEARN

"When the London Philharmonic Orchestra selected the 50 greatest pieces of classical music, the list included 6 pieces by Mozart, 5 by Beethoven, and 3 by Bach. To generate those masterpieces, Mozart composed more than 600 pieces, Beethoven produced 650, and Bach wrote more than 1000 pieces of music."

It takes several tries to equal one success.

TO-DO LIST REQUIRED

". . . a dream without a to-do list is called a wish list."

WHO KNEW?!

"Volunteers from a local church spent a frigid evening distributing food to people in a low income apartment complex. One woman who received the food was overjoyed. She showed them her bare cupboard and told them they were answers to her prayers.

As the volunteers returned to the church, one woman began to cry. 'When I was a little girl,' she said, 'that lady was my Sunday school teacher. She's in church every Sunday. We had no idea she was starving!"

Who knew? And why don't we?
Please, way in on the discussion. Whose responsibility--the starving woman? Or ours?
