This wall mural got my attention while shopping at the At Home Store. This is the way I really want to live!
DREAM like there are no impossibilities. Nothing is impossible with God -- so we shouldn't insult Him with small thinking -- BIG THINKING brings Him BIG PLEASURE! “Let the Lord be magnified who has PLEASURE in the prosperity of His servants.” Psalm 35:27
PLAY like there are no winners. My son is a marathon runner. He loves it. He doesn't run to win. He competes against himself -- to finish. He is the winner of every race he runs. And I intend to be the winner of my race! I will finish my course. I will be the single winner of my RACE!
GIVE like you have plenty. Generosity is all about a heart for giving -- and when we have that heart -- there will always be more than enough to share. Pastor Craig Groeschel says "Be an irrational giver. Round up! If the tip should be $2.50, round up to $3.00! Give like you have plenty -- and before long you will have plenty." "Give and it shall be given, pressed down, shaken together and running over" Luke 6:38
SMILE till your face hurts. I want my outside to reflect the inner joy and delight I have on the inside. I love Nat King Cole's SMILE lyrics:
Smile though your heart is aching, Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow, Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness, Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying, Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile, If you just smile.
And, CHERISH your friends and family everyday. I really do cherish my friends -- THAT'S YOU -- and my family everyday. My greatest joys and the things that money just can't buy are those people that God has given me.
