Friday Tale... Approaching Each Day
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have. 
·       Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.
·       Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.
·       Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.
·       Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
·       Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
·       Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new job relationships.
·       Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to go to!
·       Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with knowledge and adventure.
·       Today I can dejectedly murmur because I have housework to do or I can feel grateful for shelter for my mind, body and soul.
·       Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped, and here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to me. And I shall decide what kind of day I shall have!
How will you live this day?

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today,
that I have set before you Life and Death, Blessing and Curse.
Therefore, choose LIFE, that you and your offspring may live,
loving the Lord your God, .... for He is your life and length of days.
~ Deuteronomy 30:19-20

  Friday Tale - May You ....   M ay your life always be Counterpoint to the Clamor of the World.   May you delight in Dancing Lightly With Life.   May you soar on eagle wings, high above the madness of the world.   May you always sing Melody in the Symphony of Your Life.   May you taste, smell, and touch your dreams of a beautiful tomorrow.   May your sun always shine, and your sky be forever blue. ~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie   BUT they that wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. ~ Isaiah 40:31

D on't die with your music still inside you. Listen to your intuitive inner voice and find what passion stirs your soul. ~ Wayne Dyer O nly that in every way.... Christ is proclaimed,  and in that I rejoice. Yes, .... as it is my eager  expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed,  BUT that with full courage now as always  Christ will be honored in me..... ~ Philippians 1:18, 20

  Friday Tale - "The Richest Man"   A rich landowner named Carl often rode around his vast estate so he could congratulate himself on his great wealth. One day while riding around his estate on his favorite horse, he saw Hans, an old tenant farmer. Hans was sitting under a tree when Carl rode by.          "I was just thanking God for my food." Hans said.          "If that is all I had to eat, I wouldn't feel like giving thanks." Carl protested.          "God has given me everything I need, and I am thankful for it." Hans replied.          The old farmer added, "It is strange you should come by today because I had a dream last night. In my dream a voice told me, 'The richest man in the valley will die tonight.' I don't know what it means, but I thought I ought to tell you."          Carl snorted, "Dreams are nonsense," and galloped away, but he could not forget Hans' words: "The richest man
