If we had been told that God was coming into a man's life…that must be something very terrible and awful. That certainly must rend and tear the life to which God comes. At least, it will separate it and make it unnatural and strange. God fills a bush with His glory, and it burns. God enters into the great mountain, and it rocks with an earthquake. When He comes to occupy a man, He must distort the humanity He occupies into some inhuman shape. Instead of that, this new life into which God comes seems to be the most quietly, naturally human life that was ever seen upon the earth. It glides into its place like sunlight. It seems to make it evident that God and man are essentially so near together that the meeting of their natures in the life of a God-man is not strange. So always does Christ deal with His own nature, accepting His divinity as you and I accept our humanity, and letting it shine out through the envelope with which it has most subtly and mysteriously mingled, as the soul is mingled with and shines out through the body.

"A Perfect Day" 
 
 

1. WHEN THINGS GO BAD, always remember: It could be worse.
 
2. NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP. Keep working on your speech and your life.
 
3. NEVER LOSE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR. Laugh at yourself, laugh with others.
 
4. STEM DEPRESSION by thinking of, reaching out to and helping others.
 
5. DO UNTO OTHERS as you would have them do unto you.
 
6. PRAY, not for God to cure you but to help you help yourself.
 
Whatever you plan today,
I hope it's just right.
 
 
"Be Yourself"    
 
 
Be strong enough to face the world each day.

Be weak enough to know you cannot do everything.
Be generous to those who need your help.
Be frugal with what you need yourself.
Be wise enough to know that you do not know everything.
Be foolish enough to believe in miracles.
Be willing to share your joys.
Be willing to share the sorrows of others.
Be a leader when you see a path others have missed.
Be a follower when you are shrouded in the midst of uncertainty.
Be the first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds.
Be the last to criticize a colleague who fails.
Be sure where your next step will fall, so that you will not stumble.
Be sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way.
Be loving to those who love you.
Be loving to those who do not love you, and they may change.
Above all, BE YOURSELF!!
 
Have a Blessed Day
