God made the world in 6 days and now we expect him
to always rush, rush, rush.

NEW Ten Guidelines From God
Effective Immediately, please be aware that there are changes YOU need to make in YOUR life. These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill My promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life. I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. Please, follow these 10 guidelines :

 1. QUIT WORRYING:

Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?

2. PUT IT ON THE LIST:

Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can't help you until you turn it over to Me. And although My to-do-list is long, I am after all... God. I can take care of anything you put into My hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for you that you never even realize.

3. TRUST ME:

Once you've given your burdens to Me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in Me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on My list. Problem with finances? Put it on My list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster For My sake, put it on My list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.

4. LEAVE IT ALONE:

Don't wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here." Why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It's simple. You gave Me your burdens and I'm taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with Me and forget about them. Just let Me do my job.

5. TALK TO ME:

I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I'm in control. But there's one thing I pray you never forget. Please, don't forget to talk to Me - OFTEN! I love YOU! I want to hear your voice. I want you to include Me in on the things going on in your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with Me. I want to be your dearest friend.

6. HAVE FAITH:

I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are. Have faith in Me that I know what I'm doing. Trust Me; you wouldn't want the view from My eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust Me. Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part -  How hard can trust be?

7. SHARE:

You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.

8. BE PATIENT:

I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect to handle something on My to-do-list? Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.

9. BE KIND:

Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for My sake. I created each of you different in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please, know I love each of your differences.

 10. LOVE YOURSELF:

As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by me for one reason only -- to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes My heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to me. Don't ever forget.....

I hope that you will be blessed by this and will share it with others.

Touch someone with your love. Rather than focus upon the thorns of life, smell the roses and count your blessings!

All the wealth in the world could not buy you a friend, nor could it pay for .

****butterfly* **SMILE!

When you feel unloved Here's some good advice! : When you feel that nobody loves you, Nobody cares for you, And everyone is ignoring you, You should start asking yourself... Am I TOO sexy?

The Beauty of Life does not depend on how happy you are… But how happy others can be…Because of You!!!

How to Impress the New CEO And Ensure Your Job Is Secure !!! When a new CEO arrives at company, senior executives start to wonder: Does this mean I'm out? According to a new study in the Harvard Business Review, turnover among top management spikes when a company appoints a new chief executive officer. The study results make sense -- when there's a new sheriff in town, he'll probably bring his own deputies. But we do have some suggestions on how to secure your job if you are faced with a new top boss: • First impressions count. Most CEOs make decisions about people within the first 60 days, so you have to present yourself well from the beginning. The danger of being pushed out is real. But so are the opportunities -- if you swiftly establish your value when the new chief arrives. • Set up face time. Secure a meeting with the new boss, and let him or her know about your responsibilities and how you can help achieve the vision. Without cues from you, your new CEO will be left to draw his or her own conclusions. • Understand the CEO's style and agenda. Don't be afraid to ask your CEO directly about his or her style and the agenda for the future. You'll get the best information from the source and also demonstrate that you care about what the boss thinks. • Be honest. Don't paint a too-bright picture or a spell out a less-than-realistic game plan. You want your new CEO to know that you are not going to hide negatives. • Don't emphasize your needs in the beginning. Forget about your own agenda -- your compensation, long-term plans or problems with the company. Ensure that the honeymoon phase with your CEO is just that.

When she was growing up, Mary Ann Bird knew she was different: “And I hated it,” she said. “I was born with a cleft palate, and when I started school, my classmates made it clear to me how I looked to others: a little girl with a misshapen lip, crooked nose, lopsided teeth, and garbled speech. “When schoolmates asked, ‘What happened to your lip?’ I'd tell them I'd fallen and cut it on a piece of glass. Somehow it seemed more acceptable to have suffered an accident than to have been born different. I was convinced that no one outside my family could love me. "There was, however, a teacher in the second grade whom we all adored--Mrs. Leonard by name. She was short, round, happy--a sparkling lady. Annually we had a hearing test. ... Mrs. Leonard gave the test to everyone in the class, and finally it was my turn. I knew from past years that as we stood against the door and covered one ear, the teacher sitting at her desk would whisper something, and we would have to repeat it back--things like "The sky is blue" or "Do you have new shoes?" "I waited there for those words that God must have put into her mouth, those seven words that changed my life. Mrs. Leonard said, in her whisper, "I wish you were my little girl." (Mary Ann Bird, The Whisper Test, cited at PreachingToday.com)

Beginning Monday, I will spend a week vacationing at Hilton Head. This is an unexpected but very welcome opportunity at a time of my life that has gotten a bit heavy and therefore quite needful of a diversion. I know almost nothing about Hilton Head. We have spent a few days in nearby Savannah, a restful and lovely place. One time we drove across the bridge into South Carolina, and briefly checked out the ritzy resort community. I understand that presidents vacation on the island, so it is not my regular kind of place to hang out. But when friends offered the use of their place for a week, I gratefully jumped at the opportunity. So, what will I do for the week? I envision a relaxing and refreshing time, including lots of reading, walks, prayer, and thinking. The beaches are supposed to be beautiful, and although the time of year does not lend itself to sunbathing, morning and evening walks should be great. Perhaps I'll catch some fish, or take in a round of golf. Maybe I'll simply wander around as a dottering old vacation bum for the entire week. That sounds like fun! If you have been there before, and have some recommendations, please let me know. Any fellow t-Bloggers live in the area? Let's have a cup of coffee! Do you have anything you would like for me to pray about? Send a t-mail, in confidence, and I will be honored to pray for you. With great interest I will be studying the place for the next several days. Can't wait! Here are some photos. PhotobucketPhotobucketPho tobucketPhotobucket
