Friday Tale: The Paradoxical Commandments
People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
                            Love them anyway.       
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
                            Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
                             Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
                              Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
                               Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
                              Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
                              Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
                              Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
                             Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
                          Give the world the best you have anyway.
Because “they” don’t matter – GOD DOES!
~ Kent Keith, 1968

Jesus looked at them and said, "With man it is impossible,
BUT not with God. For all things are possible with God.
 ~ Mark 10:27

  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."   ...
