I just got the following wise words from a friend of mine and would like to share it:

I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included. (Bernard Manning)

Reading this, I was amused at first, but then it got me thinking: that's life. We are given the batteries but the toys are not included. We were born with God-given potential (the batteries) and it cannot be exhausted or used up. When we use our potential, we discover that the more you use it the more power you have. The amazing thing is that it can be developed when we live life. It's there for everyone, but how, where and when you use it, is your choice. You have the batteries, now you have to choose the "toys" that you are going to use it in.

Make a decision now to tap into your God-given potential (your batteries) and start using and developing it by choosing your "toys" wisely. Choose to use your potential constructively, to build yourself up, to be significant, and to be the best you could be.

Make it a great week

We so easily say that; We must live life to it fullest. What would it mean? Some say it is something to do with being instead of doing. What does that mean? Being is also described as living a life of the soul.

Would this then mean living a live by following the inner voice? I do believe it has something do do with this.

The question is then what would the reason then be that there are so many unhappy people in the world? Is it that we do not make time to listen to our soul and the spirit of The Lord, to get direction in our lives's.

Or are we afraid of becoming that, that the Lord had in mind for us to be?

Two key thoughts:
* Make time in your life to hear your inner voice and the Lord's directions for your life.
* Dream it and live it.

Remember life on earth is temporary. So what unique legacy should you to leave behind one day?

Saturday, how wonderful just to take a break from a wonderful week.

Looking back on the week there was so much to be thankful for.

So what makes me tired? I worked with a gentleman years back and he always said that nothing as bad to spend energy on stuff that should have been done right the first time and especially if the distress was not a direct cause of one's own action.

This let me think about the saying that goes more or less as follow: Lord give the knowledge to know what I can change, and the power to deal with that I can not change.

Let's enjoy the weekend, to build energy for the next work week.

Craffies.
