...and don't think you know it all

This Bible verse has several powerful and different messages all wrapped up into one:

Live in harmony with each other. Don't be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don't think you know it all!

Romans 12:16, NLT 

I love all the messages. I need to live all the messages.

Strong and courageous!

So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.

Deuteronomy 31:6, NLT

~~~~~~~~~~
Yep it was another Air 1 verse. I'm not feeling particularly weak or cowardly right now, I wonder if something is coming that I need to be strong and courageous for. Even if nothing's coming down the pike immediately, I know I need to remember this.

Six Little Stories

1.  Once all villagers decided to pray for rain, on the day of prayer all the people gathered,
but only one boy came with an umbrella.

That's FAITH


2.  When you throw a baby in the air, she laughs because she knows you will catch her.

That's TRUST


3.  Every night we go to bed, without any assurance of being alive the next morning
but still we set the alarms to wake up.

That's HOPE


4.  We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the future.

That's CONFIDENCE


5.  We see the world suffering, but still we get married and have children.

That's LOVE


6.  On an old man's shirt was written a sentence 'I am not 60 years old....
I am sweet 16 with 44 years’ experience'

That's ATTITUDE

Shared with me by Daddy W, Dr. Mary's dad who must be a twin separated at birth from my dad. They're both engineers (ask them what time it is, they'll tell you how a watch works) with a good sense of humor and a lot of love for life and for their family. Thanks, Daddy W!
