The right way to receive correction based upon Scripture is to be humble. The humble person welcomes every chance the Holy Spirit might be using to burn off the rough edges and forever make him more like his blessed Savior. The humble person doesn’t respond harshly, regardless of the criticism or the messenger, but is concerned with the content and takes everything with a grain of salt, considering it, praying about it and diligently seeks to determine where the correction, to whatever degree, is appropriate. God is given time to work in his heart. Energy and contemplation is placed on, “What is the Lord saying to me” and “how can I learn from these comments” as compared to, “How am I going to defend myself against this attack.” It is about not flying off the handle when corrected, but exercising self-control. Don’t we know that “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (Jas. 4:6; 1 Pet. 5:5). You see, when we run away from even the slightest hint of criticism, we forfeit the very means by which the Lord wants to use to make us more godly.

It is snowing, again. Fortunately, the person who 

plows the driveway is resourceful. He cleared the 

drive with a snow blower. 

I heard his plow truck is now repaired.

Today's Chuckles

1. Helicopter

2. Shawl

                     ------------------------------

Helicopter 

A helicopter carrying passengers suddenly loses 

engine power and the aircraft begins to decent. 

The pilot safely performs an emergency landing 

in water, and tells the passengers to remain 

seated and to keep the doors closed, stating that 

in emergency situations, the aircraft is designed 

to stay afloat for 30 minutes, giving rescuers 

time to get to them. 

Just then a man gets out if his seat and runs over 

to open the door. The pilots screams at him, "Didn't 

you hear what I said, the aircraft is designed to 

stay afloat as long as the doors remain closed?!". 

"Of course I heard you", the man replied, "but it's 

also designed to fly, and look how good that one 

worked out!!"

It's not what you say out of your mouth that determines your 

life, it's what you whisper to yourself that has the most 

power! - Robert Kiyosaki

Shawl

I've always wanted a beautiful shawl to wear with my winter 

dresses. 

So when I opened the present from my sister Wanda, and saw 

that it was a white-and-silver shawl, I squealed in delight. 

"I love it!" I told Wanda that evening. "I wore it all 

morning." 

"You wore it?" she asked, smiling. "It's a skirt for the 

Christmas tree."
