Thank God for Dirty Dishes


...To lose, you don't have to have anything stolen from you, all you have to do is take everything you have for granted. Be grateful for what you have, not sorry for what you don’t have. It’s a sure sign of mediocrity to be moderate with our thanks. Be contented with what you have. Some people are looking forward to have what your have, or wishing they were you. 

An unknown authour writes:
Thank God for dirty dishes;
They have a tale to tell.
While others may go hungry,
We're eating very well
With home, health, and happiness,
I shouldn't want to fuss;
By the stack of evidence,
God's been very good to us.

Thank God for dirty dishes; they have a tale to tell, for by this stack of evidence, God’s very good to us.

The Obstacles in Our Way

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one’s condition.

Never Chase A Lie

Broken promises cause the world's greatest accidents. You can't make wrong work. Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom. Never chase a lie: if you leave it alone, it will run itself to death. Everything you add to the truth, you inevitably subtract from it.  A lie will add to your troubles, subtract from your energy, multiply your difficulties and divide your effectiveness. Never view anything positively that makes you break your word. Make your word your bond. 

Get Caught Dreaming...

Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them and pretty soon, you get a dozen. You'll get more out of every part of your life, if you stay incurably curious.  Get caught dreaming. It's never too late for you to start thinking more creatively. Unfortunately, dreams are the first casualty in life - people seems to give them up quicker than anything for reality. The important thing is to not stop questioning. Never loose a holy curiosity!
