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.

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you as well, Mac. How is the family? Sir Winston?

How is the leg doing without the brace? Have you attempted the treadmill yet? Using your boys as spotters? *HUGS*

[ConorMacNessa]

Family is doing well, thanks - Sir Winston is great! The leg is a little stiff - the thighs are still incredibly weak. Haven't been on the treadmill yet - will start tomorrow.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!
