"FUNNY"

 

 

Funny how we set our clocks to arise at 4:00am or 5:00am to
be at the job by 7:30am, yet when Sunday comes we can't get
to church for 11:00am to praise the one who gave us the jobs!

 

Funny how we call God our Father and Jesus our brother, but
find it hard to introduce them to our family.

 

Funny how small our sins seem, but how big "their" sins are.

 

Funny how we demand justice for others, but expect mercy
from God.

 

Funny how much difficulty some have learning the gospel
well enough to tell others, but how simple it is to understand/
explain the latest gossip about someone else.

 

Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray,
but don't have any difficulty thinking of things to talk about
to a friend.

 

Funny how we are so quick to take directions from a total
stranger when we are lost, but find it nearly impossible to
take God's direction for our lives.

 

Funny how so many church goers sing "Standing on the Promises"
but all they do is sit on the premises.

 

Funny how people want God to answer their prayers, but refuse
to listen to His counsel.

 

Funny how we sing about heaven, but live only for today.

 

Funny how people think they are going to Heaven but don't think
there is a hell.

 

Funny how it is okay to blame God for evil and suffering in the
world, but it is not necessary to thank Him for what is good and
pleasant.

 

Funny how when something goes wrong, we cry, "Lord, why
me?" but when something goes right, we think, "Hey, it must
be me!"

 

 

"Confident People"

 

 

Contrary to what most people think confident people 
sometimes doubt themselves and their abilities.  So
being confident doesn't necessarily mean that you will
never have self-defeating thoughts or feelings.  You will.
Doubt, concern, and nervousness are real feelings and
they happen whether you are confident or not.

 

Instead of spending time doubting themselves, or
worrying about what they cannot do or might not be
able to do, confident people focus on what they can control.
They turn their concentration away from uncertainty
and toward conviction.

 

You can do the same.  When you concentrate on the cans and forget
the cannot's, your self-confidence soars.

 

 

Have a Blessed Day
