Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark
One : Don't miss the boat. In OTHER WORDS---GRAB THE LITTLE OPPORTUNITIES LIFE HAS IN STORE FOR YOU! You'LL NEVER KNOW IF THAT CHANCE WILL FACE YOU AGAIN! TAKE THE RISKS!!
Two : Remember that we are all in the same boat. IN OTHER WORDS---EMOTIONAL SENSITIVITY IS IMPORTANT. BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE--REMEMBER THAT WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE NOT ONLY TO OURSELVES BUT TO OTHERS AS WELL.
Three : Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark. IN OTHER WORDS--THERE'S NO HARM IN LOOKING AT YOUR FUTURE--WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT OUR PAST--ITS OVER AND DONE--BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY DO SOMETHING ABOUT OUR PRESENT AND FUTURE!
Four : Stay fit When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.IN OTHER WORDS--LIFE IS TRULY FULL OF SURPRISES!! BE READY TO BE GIVEN THE SHOCK(S) OF YOUR LIFE ALL THE TIME! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF SO THAT YOU'LL BE READY FOR ALL THE UNEXPECTED EVENTS !Five : Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done..IN OTHER WORDS--AT TIMES IT'S BEST TO BE DEAF! FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND KNOW YOUR POTENTIALS!
Six : Build your future on high ground.IN OTHER WORDS---WHEN YOU PLAN--CONSIDER THE RISKS BUT DONT LET THESE PRECONCEIVED DANGERS STOP YOU--RE-ENGINEER YOUR PLANS---YOU'LL NEVER KNOW--IT MIGHT WORK!
Seven : For safety's sake, travel in pairs.IN OTHER WORDS--ITS ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE A FRIEND TO SHARE YOUR PASSION AND FRUSTRATIONS IN LIFE! LIFE IS MORE BEAUTIFUL WHEN SHARED WITH OTHERS.Eight : Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on b oard with the cheetahs.IN OTHER WORDS--SMELL THE FLOWERS FROM TIME TO TIME! ENJOY LIFE'S LITTLE STOP-OVERS!
Nine : When you're stressed, float for a while. IN OTHER WORDS--CHILL! TAKE TIME TO STOP AND HAVE A BREAK!
Ten : Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals---IN OTHER WORDS--DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE WHAT YOU CAN DO AND WHAT'S INSIDE OF YOU!
GREATEST LESSON: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting...
I love the 8th and 10th lesson. It hit a mark on me.ha ha Anyway,I agree that life with God will always be smooth sailing even if circumstances and some other things are in great turmoil. Because at the end of it all, things will turn out better.
ReplyDeleteNoah trusted God even in the midst of people's mockery;even in the midst of a storm and great flood. It would be even better if we do the same thing.
