MEDITATION ON SUCCESS

"Do not let this Book of Law (The Torah) depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." (Joshua 1:8)

"Great success, like disgrace, can bring great trouble. Success which advances ego can make you lose your way." (Tao 13.)

A lawyer once commented to me, "If you preachers ever convince people to live by the Ten Commandments, I will be out of business". Now there is a thought: lawyers out of business!

Doing God's will is the only real guarantee of success. Beginning with the Ten Commandments, we must first learn the laws by which God guarantees success. To learn these laws is not just a mental exercise but the beginning of a way of living, a way which brings the reward of joyful success. Successful people are often asked, "What is the secret of your success?" One person responded..."To live life fully by doing rather than talking".

Maybe that is what is meant by the words in Joshua quoted above. Obedience to God brings happiness, which is real success!

Howdy, PRO.

Have a nice day? Get out and about or did you just kick back?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Kartographer...that IS a beautiful version. Thank you for sharing.

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...did you get wet weather again? Hope it stayed warm for you.

Mid 30s here again. I did get to have lunch with Dot and her granddaughter. It was a nice outing and fun just chatting

[radu]

Ah, good to hear you were able to get together with Dot and her granddaughter today. Sounds like y’all had a good time.

Yes, wet weather is back. Not a lot today but tomorrow is supposed to take up the slack. Tomorrow night/early Mon. morning is gonna stink because they’re calling for some snow. :-(

[Kathy in Alaska]

We were promised a vote on DST, but they reneged. So we seem to be stuck with it. I hate it...more morning dark, but we gain 5 minutes of light a day.

[radu]

Some folks have tried to get rid of DST in our state legislature more than once but it never gets anywhere. If I heard correctly, they tried again a week or so ago.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.

Thanks, unique.

A very pleasant good Sunday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HHUGS))Good morning, Kathy. How's it going?

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How’s it going?

[E.G.C.]

BTTT

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...any rain in sight? You and Bo still able to go exploring?

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Two days in a row now of temps in the mid 30s, so much melting and sloppy, sloppy streets. I need to put more windshield wiper fluid in my car.

[E.G.C.]

((LOL))Well, I guess that's Alaska weather for you.

Watching for the winds. They're forecasting gusts to 35. The Weather Service has had a history of underestimating the wind gusts in their forecasts so we'll see what happens.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Well...you guys stay safe if the winds come up.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Military Families, for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]
