Net Miles Of Smiles

If you are like me, there are some things you may feel you do pretty
well, and others that you would not admit to having done even at
gunpoint! Please don’t expect anything I build with my hands to remain
standing past sundown, or anything I attempt to repair to ever stay
fixed after I leave the room. And if my cars relied solely on me to
keep them going, I would walk most everywhere I go.

On the other hand, I do play guitar adequately and I can make a
memorable enchilada dish. I also enjoy working with people and I seem
to have made it a lifelong project to learn how to become a better
listener.

I never thought of myself as one who has any great talent, but like
each of us, I have certain skills and abilities. Let me tell you a
story, however, I once heard speaker Les Brown relate. It’s a story
about a man who had real talent.

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. Read More
