THE KEY TO FAILURE

I recently read a devotion in God's Little Devotional Book for Women, which really touched my life. This book was copyrighted in 1996 by Honor Books, Inc. in Tulsa Oklahoma. The story on pages 98 and 99 tells of a painter who wanted to produce one work which would please everyone. So she painted a picture, and hung it in the public marketplace. She posted directions for people to mark the places they did not like with a small paint brush. She was surprised when she returned to find her picture was just a blob.

So, the next day, she took another copy of the painting and asked people to mark the places they liked. By the afternoon, the picture was exactly the same blob. The artist concluded, "I now believe the best way to please one-half of the world is not to mind what the other half thinks or says."

People always have an opinion about what we say or do, and the key to failure is to try to please everyone. The key to success, on the other hand, is to live according to God's opinions...those spelled out in the Bible. Then we will not fret over the opinions of others.

"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other." (Matthew 6:24)

Good evening/morning, radu...and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Is the corn happy today? We are hoping for rain later this week.

Not a good Mom day at all. I think she’s winding down now, she’s had her pills, and now she doesn’t like the pillow she has used for months. Changed it out and the light is now off. Lots of arguments. She is mad at Suzye and me. Hope she sleeps all night.

Oh no...a wasp sting. Glad they got zapped!

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.

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

[Kathy in Alaska]

What big eyes you have, Lorien. Cute kitties.

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Good evening to you since it’s not midnight there yet. :-)

The corn’s as happy as it’s gonna get. Stalks are turning brown and the ears are starting to droop. It’s done all the growing it can do and now begins readying itself for harvest.

I hope we both get the rain they promise next week. Ours is supposed to start tomorrow night and there are decent rain chances every day for the next week Several farmers around here have soybeans that still need rain and we’ve been pretty dry lately.

Sorry you had another rough day with your mom. Her anger is getting worse every day, isn’t it? :-( With luck, she wore herself out enough to sleep through the night.

[radu]

I don’t know what kind of wasps those were but their sting really packs a wallop. My wrist and hand are killing me tonight. Hubby’s been stung by them several times over the past few years and said to get used to the pain for the next two or three days. Wunnerful.

That bunch is dead but there are nests all over the farm. grrrrrr

[radu]

Lorien has the largest eyes of the girlies, and the prettiest face. She’s going to be gorgeous when she’s grown.
Can’t say that about poor Holli. She gets funnier looking as time goes on. LOL

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.

BTTT

We have storms Northwest of us moving East. This is what the radar looks like right now.

[luvie]

Wow! How much they’ve grown since the last time we saw them! All gorgeous girlies, of course! Holli looks like she’s smiling for the camera. :)

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

[left that other site]

Yes...it would have been 45.

Yesterday was very gloomy so No Bike, No Hike.

But Today is GLORIOUS, so I will find a way to do both!

Continuing in prayer for your mom.
