Friday Tale ~ The Optimist Creed 

Promise yourself: 

·    To be strong in God so that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

·    To talk health, happiness, and faith to every person you meet.

·    To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

·    To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

·    To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to do only the best.

·    To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

·    To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

·    To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet. 

·    To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

·    To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. 

·    To live in the faith that God is in control and you have no need to fear.

~ Christian D. Larson, 1912 (Amended) 

Do not fret because of evil doers.... for they will wither quickly like the grass and faint like the green herb. Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
~ Psalm 37:1-4

  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.

Friday Tale ~ "Lord, I Hate Buttermilk..."   A visiting minister was attending a men's breakfast in Ohio farm country. He asked one of the impressive older farmers in attendance to say grace that morning. After all were seated, the older farmer began ...        "Lord, I hate buttermilk."        The minister opened one eye and wondered to himself where this was going.        Then the farmer loudly proclaimed, "Lord, I hate lard."        Now the minister was overly worried.        However without missing a beat, the farmer prayed on, "And Lord, you know I don't care much for raw white flour."        Just as the minister was ready to stand and stop everything, the farmer continued,        "But Lord, when you mix 'em all together and bake 'em up, I do love fresh biscuits.           So Lord, when things come up we don't like, when life gets hard, when we just don't understand what you are sayin' to us
