If you are like me, you have days when you are just too tired to get everything done that you know you really should be doing. Or, you have worked and worked and worked and still have not accomplished everything. Well, this is one of those combination days – too tired and too much still to do even though I have worked and worked and worked and . . .! So, since I have committed to bringing you something worth reading each Wednesday, and since it is now after 7:00 p.m. and I have yet to fulfill my commitment, here is what I decided just moments ago to do – give you some food for thought, followed by a chuckle or two. Sometimes we get so tied up in knots with stress that we forget the importance and therapeutic value of a good laugh. Sometimes we have to take time to laugh at ourselves! So, take this spoonful of spring tonic medicine – it’ll do you good.
"I’m convinced that I’ll never grasp how women think. It seems that their thought processes either move counter-clockwise or maybe just helter-skelter. These creatures are intrinsically and fundamentally unpredictable. And the more you think you’re going to tame them, the less chance you have of breaking their spell." I wonder if He intended that when God made them in His own image? (quoted from an April 2010 newsletter by John King, preacher/teacher/musician with Wycliffe Bible Translators)
Another encouraging quote: “I must say that I am a happy man because I attended your training workshop. It has given me new insight into effective Leadership! My wife even made a comment about my behaviour. She said that training like you provide should be organized many more times. She has seen a tremendous change in my life. She is surprised to see that I have more initiative to make the bed, remove plates from the table and occasionally assist in the kitchen. My life has changed!” (quoted from an April 2010 newsletter by John King, preacher/teacher/musician with Wycliffe Bible Translators)
And while we are on the topic of men and women, you will surely enjoy this gem which is all about expectations:
The Husband Store
A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York
City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the
instructions at the entrance is a description of how the
store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are
six floors, and the attributes of the men increase as the
shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch: You
may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may
choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except
to exit the building. So, a woman goes to the Husband Store
to find a husband.
On the first floor, the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 – These men have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 – These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 – These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and
are extremely good looking. "Wow," she thinks, but feels
compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 – These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are
drop-dead good looking, and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims. "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 – These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are
drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a
strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor
and the sign reads:
Floor 6 – You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are
no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that
women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at
the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building,
and have a nice day!
