jenevive's art connection WORDS OF WISDOM
These make great email signatures! Mercy ----- When you don't get what you deserve Grace ----- When you get what you don't deserve A clean conscience makes a soft pillow. A family altar can alter a family. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing. Are you wrinkled with burden? Come on into Church for a faith lift! Be ye fishers of men. You catch them and He will clean them. Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous. Do your best and then sleep in peace. God is Awake. Don't put a question mark where God put a period. Don't wait for 6 strong men to take you to church. Exercise daily. Walk with the Lord! Fear knocked. Faith answered. No one was there. For all you do, His blood's for you! Forbidden fruits create many jams. Give God what's right, not what's left! Give Satan an inch and he'll be a ruler. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called. God doesn't want shares of your life; He wants controlling interest! God grades on the cross, not the curve. God loves everyone, but probably prefers "fruits of the spirit" over "religious nuts"! God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. Having truth decay? Brush up on your Bible! He who angers you, controls you! He who is good at making excuses is seldom good for anything else. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone! If God is your Co-pilot - Swap seats! Kindness is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back. Man's way leads to a hopeless end! God's way leads to an endless hope! Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory capacity. Never give the devil a ride! He will always want to drive! Nothing ruins the truth like stretching it. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. Prayer - Don't give God instructions - just report for duty! The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us. The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not protect you. This Church is "Prayer Conditioned"! To be almost saved is to be totally lost. Wal-Mart isn't the only saving place! WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning! Watch your step carefully! Everyone else does! We don't change the message, the message changes us. We set the sail; God makes the wind. We're too blessed to be depressed. When God ordains, He sustains. Wisdom has two parts: 1) Having a lot to say. 2) Not saying it. Worry is the darkroom in which "negatives" are developed. You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him. Anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind. You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future. Love... and you shall be loved. God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him. All people smile in the same language. A hug is a great gift..one size fits all. It can be given for any occasion and it's easy to exchange. Everyone needs to be loved...especially when they do not deserve it. The real measure of a man's wealth is what he has invested in eternity. Laughter is God's sunshine. Everything has beauty but not everyone sees it. It's important for parents to live the same things they teach. Thank God for what you have, Trust God for what you need. If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. Happy memories never wear out... relive them as often as you want. Home is the place where we grumble the most, but are often treated the best. Man looks at outward appearance but the Lord looks within. The choice you make today will usually affect tomorrow. Take time to laugh for it is the music of the soul. If anyone speaks badly of you, live so no one can believe it. Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears. Love is strengthened by working through conflicts together. The best thing parents can do for their children is to love each other. Harsh words break no bones but they do break hearts. To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. We take for granted the things that we should be giving thanks for. Love is the only thing that can be divided without being diminished. Happiness is enhanced by others but does not depend upon others. You are richer today if you have laughed, given or forgiven. For every minute you are angry with someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you can never get back. Do what you can, for who you can, with what you have, and where you are. The best gifts to give: To your friend ---------------loyalty; To your enemy --------------forgiveness; To your boss-----------------service; To a child ----------------------a good example; To your parents -------------gratitude and devotion; To your mate -----------------love and faithfulness; To all men and women-----charity; To God ----------------your life. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you are a mile away from him and you have his shoes. A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk I have a work station.... I believe five out of four people have trouble with fractions. If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead?" Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks? I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans. I have found at my age, going braless pulls all the wrinkles out of my face. I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then it dawned on me -- they were cramming for their finals. Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of emergency. I think you should write, "A very good doctor." If you think you're beaten, you are. If you think you dare not try, you won't. If you would like to win but think you can't, it is almost certain you won't. If you believe you will lose, then more than likely you've lost. If you think you're outclassed, you are. You've got to be sure of yourself before you ever can win a prize. Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. Sooner or later the person who wins is the one who believes he can. To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world. Going to church does not make you a Christian anymore than going to McDonald's makes you a clown. Real friends are those who, when you feel you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel you've done a permanent job. A coincidence is when God performs a miracle, and decides to remain anonymous. Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the same side. I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to. Lead your life so you won't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip. People gather bundles of sticks to build bridges they never cross. Life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you respond to it. Did it ever occur to you that nothing occurs to God? Life is like an onion; you peel off one layer at a time and sometimes you weep. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself. There are two things I've learned: There is a God. And, I'm not Him. Following the path of least resistance is what makes rivers and men crooked. Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace. When it comes time to die...make sure that all you have left to do is die. Death is only the end of dying; not the end. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal the neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it. Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of credit card payments. If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again; it was probably worth it. If you haven't much education you must use your brain. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well. It is hard to understand how a cemetery raised its burial cost and blamed it on the cost of living. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong. Laughing stock - cattle with a sense of humor. Latest survey shows that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the world's population. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it. Eat right. Stay fit. Die anyway. It was recently discovered that research causes cancer in rats. The only cure for insomnia is to get more sleep. I wished the buck stopped here, as I could use a few. When someone says, "Do you want my opinion?" It's always a negative one. The word 'listen' contains all the same letters as the word 'silent'. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra. Scientists say 1 out of every 4 people are crazy. Check 3 friends, if they are ok you're it. Pain and suffering is inevitable but misery is optional. Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing, is like clearing the driveway before it has stopped snowing. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing. Remember the banana - when it left the bunch it got skinned. Hem your day with prayer and it will be less apt to ravel at the edges.
