FIRST ---

500 years before we started keeping our calendar, Confucius said,

Walt Disney once said, “All our dreams can come true if we have

the courage to pursue them.”

Truly though, how else can you be happy if you do not pursue your

dreams? It should never be enough to just “get through life”. It is the

dreams of life that make it worthwhile.

(Like dreaming of rain and finally getting it. YEA!)

TWO GAMES---

Football---The object of the game is to get the ball and run toward the finish line.

Life---About the same. Sometimes we have setbacks. Sometimes we “lose the ball”.

Sometimes we are tackled and “run over”.

The difference?---In life we may be down but NOT defeated---we get up and try again.

We may be humbled but we tie a knot in our rope and hang on.

The point is---We have to keep on keeping on.

            If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective
            If you plant hard work, you will reap success
            If you promise something, keep it up ,you will reap love and respect

If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliatio

So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.
