“Motion does not prove you
are going places. Walking in
a circle gets you nowhere accept
back to where you started and very
dizzy.”

Today’s message:
“Four things”
By Bob Perks
…
I wondered why it rained when sun was what
I needed. Then I realized the rain washed
away the dust that settled so easily on me
as I had recently taken to standing still.
…
I wondered why life seemed to pass me by.
Then I realized I was not living, just
simply existing. Living requires participation.
…
I wondered why no one ever listened to what
I had to say. Then I realized I had only been
talking about myself and all my troubles.
I was the one not listening to them.
…
I wondered why God had abandoned me. Then I realized
I had abandoned God.
…
I wondered why I was not happy. Then I realized
standing still, simply existing, whining and
turning my back on God, does not make for a
happy life.
…
Four things…
…
1. See the sun when it rains.
…
2. Accept that life evolves with you, it doesn’t
revolve around you.
…
3. Understand that God gave you two ears and one
mouth. You need to listen more than
you speak.
…
4. Plan with God for He has plans for you.
…
“I believe in you!”

“I Wish You enough!”
© 2001 Bob Perks
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear
much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough “Hello’s” to get you through the final “Goodbye.”
