Thought for Today,
Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Always be nice to people on the way up; because you'll meet the same people
on the way down.

I Didn't Appreciate
As I get older, I realize there are things in
My life I didn't appreciate until it was too late.
I didn't appreciate the naps they used to make
Me take in kindergarten.
I long for the day when someone says, "You
Can't work anymore until you take a nap." I
Guarantee you, I won't argue.
I didn't appreciate one-cent candy or milk
That was delivered to your front door. In the
"do-it-yourself" world we'll never see either of.
I didn't appreciate those face-squishing hugs
My mother used to give me.
Now that she's gone home to be with the Lord,
I long for just one more.
This time I would squish her right back.
I didn't appreciate the days I danced barefoot
In the rain with my mouth open wide trying to
Get a drink of raindrops.
I didn't appreciate the sacrifice my parents
Made for my brothers and me to keep us clothed,
Fed and happy.
I didn't appreciate mom letting us mess up the
Living room on a rainy day.
I thought building a tent with a secret tunnel
Is what everyone did on those days.
I didn't appreciate the marvels of planting a seed
And watching it sprout into a full-grown plant.
I didn't appreciate the struggles we had to go
Through as a family.
Because of yesterday's struggles, we have
Strength for today.
I didn't appreciate the times my sons came to
Me and asked those annoying, unanswerable questions.
"What makes a duck quack?" "Why is the sky blue?"
I had no idea they thought I was smart enough
To answer all their questions.
I didn't appreciate the times our family had.
I didn't appreciate those "primary" Sunday
School teachers who went through so much
Trouble to collect toilet paper rolls so I could
Understand what a scroll was.
I didn't appreciate those clear nights when the
Stars danced with glee showing
Off their awesome Creator.
I didn't appreciate our sons' "refrigerator
Artwork" that made our house a home.
I didn't know to appreciate the muddy
Footprints my wife and I so often found making a
Path across our carpet as a representation of life.
I didn't appreciate the times my children fell
Asleep in daddy's arms.
I didn't realize it was there they felt
Protected from all the elements of the world.
God, I have just one prayer for today.
Open my eyes that I may be able to see
And appreciate the things that you do each day.

Happiness Comes from Giving
This story is about a beautiful, expensively dressed lady who complained to
her psychiatrist that she felt that her whole life was empty, it had no
meaning.
So, the lady went to visit a counselor to seek out happiness. The counselor
called over the old lady who cleaned the office floors. The counselor then
said to the rich lady"I'm going to ask Mary here to tell you how she found
happiness. All I want you to do is listen to her."
So the old lady put down her broom and sat on a chair and told her story:
Well, my husband died of malaria and three months later my only son was
killed by a car.
I had nobody... I had nothing left. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I
never smiled at anyone, I even thought of taking my own life. Then one
evening a little kitten followed me home from work. Somehow I felt sorry for
that kitten. It was cold outside, so I decided to let the kitten in. I got
it some milk, and the kitten licked the plate clean. Then it purred and
rubbed against my leg and for the first time in months, I smiled. Then I
stopped to think, if helping a little kitten could make me smile, maybe
doing something for people could make me happy. So the next day I baked some
biscuits and took them to a neighbor who was sick in bed. Every day I tried
to do something nice for someone. It made me so happy to see them happy.
Today, I don't know of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do. I've
found happiness, by giving it to others."
When she heard that the rich lady cried. She had everything that money could
buy, but she had lost the things which money cannot buy.

Forget the excuses
+++++++++++++++++++
Today can be a day full of excuses and regrets, or it can be
A day full of progress and achievement. The choice is
Completely up to you.
Plenty of times during this day it will be easy for you to
Come up with a good excuse for not giving your best. Yet
Even though you may come up with the world's most well
Thought out excuse, of what value is that to you?
When you feel an excuse coming on, remind yourself of
Something. This is your life, not some intellectual
Exercise, and every action taken or avoided affects the
Quality of your world.
Sure, you can come up with lots of great excuses. Yet you
Can just as realistically come up with lots of great
Achievements.
Your life is a magnificent treasure that you have the
Opportunity to live right now, today. It's not something you
Must find ways to be excused from.
Embrace the richness in every twist and turn of life's
Adventure. Forget the excuses, and grab the magnificent
Opportunity that's right in front of you.
Ralph Marston
