The Merry Heart – Impossibilities In The World

1) You can’t count your hair.

2) You can’t wash your eyes with soap.

3) You can’t breathe when your tongue is out.

Put your tongue back in your mouth, you silly person.

Ten Things I Know About You:

1) You are reading this.

2) You are human.

3) You can’t say the letter “P” without separating your lips.

4) You just attempted to do it.

6) You are laughing at yourself.

7) You have a smile on your face, and you skipped No. 5.

8) You just checked to see if there is a No. 5.

9) You laugh at this because you are a fun-loving person and everyone does it, too.

10) You are probably going to send this to see who else falls for it.

“Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.”

IT MAY BE TIME TO QUIT!

An old-time revival preacher announced that Thursday was going to be “Quitter’s Night” at the tent revival. It was public confession time.

A child stood and said she was going to quit telling lies. A teenager rose to his feet and said he was going to quit smoking. Even adults were making these public confessions. They were going to quit drinking or gambling or cussin’, etc.

And then it happened. A saintly silver-haired lady stood up. It was real quiet and folks were wondering what this “model” Christian had possibly done.

“Well now, Mrs. Jones,” said the preacher, “what are you repenting of?”

Mrs. Jones cleared her throat and said, “I ain’t done nothin’ and

I’m gonna quit it.”

Perhaps we should all be reminded that sometimes our most prevalent sin is something we were supposed to do, but didn’t. If we’re doing nothing, it may be time to quit!

At Peace With Yourself

There is a correlation between the way you feel about yourself and the way you feel about others. If you are at peace with yourself—you’ll get along with others. The converse is also true. If you are ashamed, embarrassed, or angry, other people are going to know it. The tragic thing is we tend to take it out on those we love unless the cycle is interrupted.

Which takes us to the question, “How does a person get relief?” Which takes us to one of the kindest verses in the Bible.  In Matthew 11:28 Jesus says, “Come to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest.”

Be honest with Him. Admit you have soul secrets you’ve never dealt with. He’s just waiting for you to ask Him for help. You’ll be glad you did. Those near to you will be glad as well.
