GOD’S Judgments Are Right

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

 JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn Thy commandments.
They that fear Thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in Thy word.
I know, O LORD, that Thy judgments are right, and that Thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
Let, I pray thee, Thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to Thy word unto Thy servant.
Let Thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for Thy law is my delight.
Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in Thy precepts.
Let those that fear Thee turn unto me, and those that have known Thy testimonies.
Let my heart be sound in Thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.

Psalm 119:73-80

Tips For Dealing With Life’s Burdens

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

I found this in PreachingNow weekly e-newsletter.

Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue.

Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

Drive carefully. It’s not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.

If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to be kind to others.

Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.

It’s the second mouse that gets the cheese.

When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.

Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

We could learn a lot from crayons–some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, and some have weird names, but they all have to live in the same box.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Have a great weekend, and especially on Sunday join with brothers and sisters in your local church and worship the Lord.
