Just a few things to remember when you are having to deal with trials and tribulations of every day life in general and the people in it.

Actions speak louder than words, it's true. Folks may doubt what you say but they'll always believe what you do. Don't let the best you have done in the past be the standard for the rest of your life. Keep on truckin' . Practice makes perfect. The greatest of all faults is to think you have none. Jesus Said: "Cast your bread upon the waters and you will find that after many days it will return unto you." But many people on remembering this will cast out a stale crust and expect cake in return. The world's most disappointed people are those who get what's coming to them. The trouble with some folks who give till it hurts is that they are so sensitive to pain. We are prepared for great deeds by great trials. Nature makes it impossible to learn the ropes without falling over them a few times. Well timed silence is more eloquent than words. If you keep your mouth shut you won't be misquoted. A housewarming is to give a second chance to those who didn't send a wedding gift. Fifty-one percent of being smart is knowing what you're dumb at. Love is the only thing that power cannot command and money cannot buy. He who gives when he is asked waits too long. Glass, china and reputation are easily cracked and never well mended. Many people have a good aim in life but fail to pull the trigger. What shouldn't be heard by little ears shouldn't be said by big mouths. Be content with your lot and don't try to be what you're not. To be in step with the world is to be out of step with Christ. It's not your Will that keeps you out of Heaven, it's your Won't. "Virus" is a Latin word used by doctors to mean: Your guess is as good as mine. God's people are not without trial, Nor without their God amid the trial.
