Encourager: Happy New Year! (Jan.)

Happy New Year & Welcome to 2007!!!
My goodness, how time flies when you’re having fun!
One of my sisters gave me a book for my birthday a while back and the name
of it was “Make The Rest Of Your Life…The Best Of Your Life”. I’m a book
fanatic…and with me turning 60, this book was right down my ‘alley’.
Many people don’t have the desire or the time to read books.
But ‘me’…I’m never without a good book within a quick reach…and they’re
all about self improvement (can we ever be ‘good enough’?):-)…or natural healing
(health fanatics are going to look pretty funny lying on their death
beds dying of ‘nothing’). But whether you like to read or not…just the name
of this book is something to remember. So let’s all start today…to make
“The Rest Of Our Life…The Best Of Our Life!”

THE FROG THAT HAD IT ALL
One day, a frog got stuck in a big rut in the road. All his friends
heard about his situation and leaped to his rescue…but no one
knew what to do. A few days later, the old frog was seen leaping
happily down the road. All his friends wanted to know how he got
out of the rut. “Sheer faith and determination” the old frog said.
“I saw a big truck coming and I just had no choice!”

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.
I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this
world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances
they want…and if they can’t find them…they make them!
(Eleanor Roosevelt)

When you can't...faith can!

Whether you think you can…or you think you can’t…you’re probably right!
Adversity causes some people to ‘break’ and others to break records!
A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor!

Let others see Jesus in you…and remember, the Jesus they
see in you…may be the only Jesus they see!
