THE SAME OLD ERRORS? ONE LINERS FOR YOUR SOULL

BELOW OME LINER AND ONE A DAY FOR THIS MARCH 29
MAKE THE BEST FROM THENWORST
Once there was an oyster whose story now I tell,

And about a grain of sand that worked beneath his shell.

Just one little grain, but oh such pain for yes,

Oysters have feelings, even though they’re so plain.

This oyster, however, didn’t curse the heavens for such a deplorable state.

Nor berate the government, or call for an election,

Or demand the sea give him immediate protection.

No, he just lay down on a rocky shelf

And talked again and again to his irritated self.

Saying, “If I cannot remove it, I’ll try to improve it.”

Then the years rolled by, as years always do,

And he came to his ultimate destiny in a restaurant stew;

And in place of the sand that had bothered him so

Was a beautiful pearl all richly aglow.

The tale you have heard has a moral, isn’t it grand

wonderful things oysters can do with only a morsel of sand.

What couldn’t we do to make life better,

If we’d only begin with all the things
that get under our skin

Several decades ago, a scientific survey at the University of Wisconsin revealed that professors who had been teaching for 20 years were no better than some teaching only two or three years.

But those who
, every few years returned to college for refresher courses and to study new techniques, improved.

Those who didn’t just stagnated.

That’s why it is so important to put God on your calendar and keep Him there.

Even a man or woman “born again” needs a daily rebirth, a daily re-evaluation of habits, a daily upgrading, a daily analysis of yesterday’s happenings.

We can change for the better but not if we keep tripping over the same old errors. Let me say that again - We can change for the better but not if we keep tripping over the same old errors.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”- Romans 15:13
