SOMETIMES BANKRUPTCY IS A BLESSING

He was a general and like all of us, one day he was a general in the battle of self.  And he won the battle.

          After the Civil War, a representative of a large company approached Robert E. Lee and offered him the presidency of the firm for $50,000.

           Lee replied that he was not sure his abilities were worth such a large sum.  “Oh,” said the man, “we aren’t interested in your services.  We only want your name.”  “My name is not for sale,” said Robert E. Lee. 

          A few months later he accepted the presidency of a small Virginia college at $1,500 a year. 

          Judas sold his honor for thirty pieces of silver.  Some sell their honesty for an enlarged savings account, other for a pool of power and others for fame and its elusive joy. 

          And yes…what is your price?  And God help you, if you have one.

New England preacher Phillip Brooks was known for his calmness and poise.

          His intimate friends, however knew that he, too, suffered moments of frustration and irritability.

          One day a friend saw him pacing the floor like a caged lion. “What is the trouble Dr. Brooks?” asked the friend.

          “The trouble is replied Brooks, “that I’m in a hurry, but God isn’t.”

                                 +++++++++++

          I met patience and saw that it was wisdom.

          I met patience and saw that it wins out when so many other things fail.

          I met patience and she smiled as she spoke to me for the first time.  It is what she said that made me smile as well.  “Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.”

          Patience.  It is worth its weight in a million shining stars and a billion timeless tomorrows. 

          Patience? 

          It is believing in tomorrow whatever it brings, bending with today whatever it gives and seeking to understand yesterday no matter what it gave.

          What is it you do three times a day? 

          You eat, but how do you eat?  Do you have the warm substance of love at every meal? (Yes, I know folk don’t eat together as often as once they did, but that is another story)

          Is part of the menu the cool refreshing draft of understanding and smiles rather than frowns? 

          Do you have beef that is the best side by side with dispositions that are the worst?  Just remember that a smiling face is half a meal and the better half at that.

          Is mealtime mad time or good time? Better to miss a meal than to miss God at a meal.

          Actually, it is a great place to put an atheist on the defensive.  How?  Well, serve he or she a good meal and then ask them if there was a cook.

          Is it God time too with a pause before the eating for a thanksgiving prayer? 

          Have you kept that habit alive and well in your household?

During 365 days each year a lot of meals take place?  Now don’t they?

Former president Ronald Reagan once had an aunt who took him to a cobbler for a pair of new shoes.

          The cobbler asked young Reagan, "Do you want square toes or round toes?" Unable to decide, Reagan didn't answer, so the cobbler gave him a few days.

           Several days later the cobbler saw Reagan on the street and asked him again what kind of toes he wanted on his shoes.

          Reagan still couldn't decide, so the shoemaker replied, "Well, come by in a couple of days. Your shoes will be ready."

          When the future president did so, he found one square-toed and one round-toed shoe! "This will teach you to never let people make decisions for you," the cobbler said to his indecisive customer.

          "I learned right then and there," Reagan said later, "if you don't make your own decisions, someone else will."

What is happiness?  

          Is it always having victory and never suffering defeat?  Is it first seeing a smile on the face of someone you love or do you demand a smile find your face first instead? 

          Is it serving or being served? 

          Is it the art of comparison?

           Is it something that happens because of who you are rather than because you are always in pursuit of it? 

          Are we happy when we are loved because we know we could be hated; the wisdom of comparison so to speak? 

          Is it creating shadows because our attitude is so full of sunshine? 

          Is happiness living in such a way you belong where you are?  

Is it all of these…any of these? ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTIONS SLOWLY, VERY SLOWLY!

          And be sure you have thought your decisions through thoughtully it rather than let others do it for you.

Muse not on matters not important.  Make not mountains out of molehills while the world is going to the dogs.  Milk may be split, watches lost, and tires go flat.  But these things have not about them the eternal nature of discontent among neighbors, hate of man to man, faith that dillydallies while human personality’s burn.  So muse on God’s laws, think on God’s will and pray for a bigger heart and a better life.

          She was traveling a rugged rutted highway from Alberta to Yukon in a rundown Honda Civic.

          The first evening she found a room in the mountains near a summit and asked for a 5 A.M. wakeup call so she could get an early start.

          She couldn't understand why the clerk looked so surprised but the next morning when she looked out a heavy fog she understood.

          Not wanting to look foolish, she got up and went to breakfast.

          Two truckers invited Linda to join them, and since the place was so small, she felt obliged.

          "Where are you headed?" one of the truckers asked. 'Whitehorse'

          "In that little Civic? No way! This pass is dangerous in weather like this."

          "Well, I'm determined to try," was Linda's gutsy, if not very informed, response.

          "Then I guess we're just going to have to hug you," the trucker suggested.

          Linda drew back. "There's no way I'm going to let you touch me!"

          "Not like THAT!" the truckers chuckled.

          "We'll put one truck in front of you and one in the rear. In that way, we'll get you through the mountains."

          All that foggy morning Linda followed the two red dots in front of her and had the reassurance of a big escort behind as they made their way safely through the mountains.          

Caught in the fog in our dangerous passage through life, we need to be "hugged." With fellow Christians who know the way and can lead safely ahead of us, and with others behind, gently encouraging us along, we, too, can pass safely.

          Count the blessings of God instead of the faults of men. 

          Be a success in this world, but while you are busy at being a success be sure that part of that success is being a successful human being in your relationship to your fellow man and to your God.

          Be as busy at building a solid foundation of faith as you at building a solid financial foundation, yes even in these times and even more so.

          Pray up to God, live well and wisely within the framework of his commandments; seek peace by giving instead of always taking.

          These rules are as old as time and as old as man’s need.

          A child, asked how he happened to think of something, said, "I got a kick in the mind and it said itself."—

          Your thoughts are the greatest friend you will ever know or the worst enemy you will ever have to endure. 

          They can give light to darkness or make the brightest day a shadow, your thoughts about people and God, your thoughts about yourself. 

          So treat not lightly the workings of your mind or treat them with lack of care. 

          Fill your mind with God and goodness, faith and hope, charity and laughter. 

          Seek to find good in everything you can and patience with those areas where if good is not dead it is certainly a grey and lifeless thing.

 

          You cannot have hateful thoughts and lead a lovely life.,  You cannot have doubting thoughts and reap the harvest of faith. 

          So remember, your thoughts can lead you to heaven or drive you to hell-it’s up to you.
