Go slow!

Dad: Hardly anything can be enjoyed in a hurry or accomplished in a hurry, and you'll not get very far if you're in a hurry. You've got to slow things down, and take time to listen to the Lord most of all. Anyone can run around a hundred miles an hour doing this and doing that, and never really get anywhere. But it takes mighty men and women of God to really stop, look, listen and go slow.

Just relax; slow down; don't rush; don't be hasty; squeeze—don't jerk;—and the Lord will slow everything else down for you if necessary! No use trying to kill yourself! —And you've got to learn to rest in the Lord!—And take it easier!

But you say, "I don't have time to stop and to look and to listen!" If you don't you may never make it! Better late than never! Which is easier: to try to beat the train, to try to plough through the train, jump over the train or just to stop, watch it go by, wait another couple of minutes and it'll be out of your way and you can go peacefully on your way! Trying to force the situation and push your way through just won't work!

I've found out that no matter what I do, the Lord's work will go on—life will go on—the camp will go on! If it's God's Work, nothing will stop it—not even my absence! Praise the Lord? So it doesn't pay to rush around and fret and fume and try to get someplace to do something when you're supposed to be waiting on the Lord to find out for sure just where He wants you to be and what He wants you to do! (ML# 74:28-29, 42-43, 50-51)

Simplicity!


There will be much for you to discover throughout your life on Earth and in Heaven, but you will always find that the most profound truths, the greatest beauty, the most outstanding wisdom, is simple. Simplicity is a hallmark of greatness. (ML# 3302)

Out in the Fields with God



Out in the Fields with God

By Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The little cares that fretted me,
I lost them yesterday,
Among the fields above the sea,
Among the winds at play;
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees;
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.

The foolish fears of what might happen,
I cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay;
Among the husking of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where ill thoughts die and good are born—
Out in the fields with God!

Worth it all!


I was talking to someone the other day and they asked me why I choose to be a fulltime childcare worker, they asked what motivated me to do it day in and day out. At first I just shrugged it off and said I don’t know but later on I got to thinking and I wondered to myself what does motivate me to be a childcare worker what keeps me going what makes it all worth it. Being a childcare worker is a day in and day out grueling job, its at the end of a long day after settling the hundredth fight and washing your tenth bottom and comforting a child for the fiftieth time that you start to wonder what the heck am I doing. I mean to most people at the age of seventeen settling down and taking care of someone else kids for eight hours a day is about the furthest thing from there mind. Most people at my age want excitement they want freedom they want to try a bit of everything before they make their decision of what they really want from life. But I’ve already decided, I’ve thrown myself headlong into this ministry and I must say that I do enjoy it. But there are times that I look over my work and think is this really what I want to do, is this really what I’m good at. Other people have these great and glorious ministries of getting out there and winning the world they win disciples they feed sheep and there the ones that you look at and say wow what talent. Or the fundraisers get out there and get the money for the home and there out on the streets all day and everyone looks at them and says wow there really a big help. In the ministry of childcare there are not a lot of big huge victories and things that the whole home will really see, many times if you don’t look up and see how far you’ve come you can tend to feel like you haven’t really done anything big or important. But the rewards of being a childcare worker are far greater when you look at them in the right perspective. When you look at the kids in your care and you see hey I taught him read and I taught him to count, I taught him to go to the bathroom and he knows how to write because I taught him. To others these seem like small things yeah so what if he can read and he can write, so what if he’s potty trained now and can count. As a childcare worker those are big things because you know how much work it is to teach a kid to write, you know how much time it takes for potty training to finally click. You know what you put into it and it’s a thrill to see the outcome, its such a thrill to see that all that work all that time and that attention paid off. Anyway to make a long story short the reason why I am a childcare worker the thing that motivates me to keep doing what I ‘m doing is knowing that no matter how much time I put into it and no matter how much extra work I do in the end its always worth it. What I put into it comes back to me again in the future and hey who knows maybe that kid will be the next Einstein ( hey you never know).

Sucess and Failure.




Success and Failure

By Edgar Guest

I do not think all failure's undeserved,
And all success is merely someone's luck;
Some men are down because they were unnerved,
And some are up because they kept their pluck.
Some men are down because they chose to shirk;
Some men are high because they did their work.

I do not think that all the poor are good,
That riches are the uniform of shame;
The beggar might have conquered if he would,
And that he begs, the world is not to blame.
Misfortune is not all that comes to mar;
Most men, themselves, have shaped the things they are.

A light at the end of the tunnel!

Religious sayings!

Love!
