Bad Habits are like a Comfortable Bed

The richest person in the world is not the one who still has the first dollar They ever earned. It's the person who still has their first friend.  ~Martha Mason~ Swallow your pride occasionally, it's not fattening. ~Frank Tyger~    Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards. ~Soren Kierkegaard~    The present is a rope stretched over the past. The Secret to walking it is, you never look down.  ~Sean Stewart~   Always be nice to people on the way up; because you'll meet the same people on the way down. ~Wilson Mizner~   "Peace of mind is attained not by ignoring problems,  but by solving them."   ~Raymond Hull~   Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that crushed it.  ~Mark Twain~   "There are two lasting bequests we can give our children.  One is roots, the other is wings."  ~Hodding CarterJr.~   "I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying."  ~Michael Jordan~   Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of.   ~unknown~   The only way to worry about nothing  is to pray about everything. ~Unknown~ __,_._,___

GOD SAID............

If you never felt pain, then how would you know that I'm a Healer?      If you never went through difficulties, how would you know that I'm a Deliverer?     If you never had a trial, how could you call yourself an overcomer?      If you never felt sadness, how would you know that I'm a Comforter?      If you never made a mistake, how would you know that I'm forgiving?      If you knew it all, how would you know that I will answer your questions?     If you never were in trouble, how would you know that I will come to your Rescue?     If you never were broken, then how would you know that I can make you whole?     If you never had a problem, how would you know that I can solve them?     If you never had any suffering, then how would you know what Jesus went Through? If you never went through the fire, then how would you become pure?      If I gave you all things, how would you appreciate them?     If I never corrected you, how would you know that I love you?     If you had all power, then how would you learn to depend on me?     If your life was perfect, then what would you need Me for?

Be Joyful

Whatever you enjoy, you improve. Enjoy where you are,  and suddenly where you are has more value. Enjoy the moment you're living.    And suddenly the moment offers new and positive possibilities. Enjoy what you're doing. By so doing, you transform your effort  into a pathway to success and achievement. You can always find a reason to be miserable.  But being miserable will accomplish nothing. Being joyful, on the other hand, will put you in a positive,  productive, effective frame of mind.  You'll be well positioned to accomplish and succeed. Whatever this day may hold, find something to truly enjoy about it.  And you will have found your own best path forward.

BEST FRIEND
