Happy Friday, Friends!
I hope and trust this post finds you all having a great day as a glorious new day begins to dawn in my Sweet Home Alabama!
Last Saturday, I came across a scripture and a quote that were so profound to me! I just had to share with you all.
This made me want to share a few other tools to add to your toolbox this week. As with any tool, it is only effective if we use it. A hammer, unless we pick it up and use it as it was intended, builds nothing. Additionally, a hammer can build or destroy; who holds it, and how they choose to use it, determines whether it builds or tears down. Perhaps you're all tired of hearing it; however, I need continual reminders: knowledge without application is just knowledge. Knowledge with application is wisdom.
The Scripture:
Jeremiah 15:19 (NIV)
19 Therefore this is what the Lord says: “If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them.
The Quote:
“If we tend to the things that are important in life, if we are right with those we love, and behave in line with our faith, our lives will not be cursed with the aching throb of unfulfilled business. Our words will always be sincere; our embraces will be tight. We will never wallow in the agony of ‘I could have, I should have’. We can sleep in a storm. And when it's time, our goodbyes will be complete.” - Mitch Albom
