I just received these from a dear friend. They are from some note-taking she did at a sermon she heard so long ago she doesn't remember the church or the pastor who made these points. But they were so good that she typed them up (on a typewriter!) and has been carrying them around in her Bible for years.
Read them one at a time - slowly and REALLY think about them - they are powerful!
Never complain about what you permit.
The problem that infuriates you the most is the problem God has assigned you to solve.
Those who unlock your compassion are those to whom you are called.
The secret of your future lies hidden in your daily routine.
When you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done

Quick time saving tip…
With the holidays fast approaching - it can be a great time to keep your name in front of your hostess and preferred customers.
Rather than adding a Christmas card (or whatever holiday you may celebrate in December) to the deluge of mail that arrives on or about the 3rd week in December, why not think about sending a Thanksgiving card? Aren't we ALL thankful for the business our customers/hostesses bring us?
Starting now, to save time, when you jot your hostess her post party thank you note - take another moment and address her Thanksgiving card as well! Then you will be ready to mail them out the 2nd week in November!
