Encouraging Words
My daughter Brianna has to be one of the most positive people in the world. I rarely ever see her down. When I do, I know it won't last for long. I love that quality about her. On my desk at the office is a framed piece of paper that she gave me several years back that happened to catch my eye today. I see it everyday but rarely take time to read it. Today, for some reason, I read it and thought, "these words should be put in a place where they can offer as much encouragement to other people as they have to me." So I decided to put them on my blog. I hope you are inspired and encouraged by reading them like I was.
Here you go:
1. Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.
2. Triumph is just the "umph" added to try.
3. If people are kicking you in the behind, at least you are in front of them.
4. A river cuts through rock not because of its power but because of its persistence.
5. When you have come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.
6. Fall 7 times, stand up 8.
7. The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning.
8. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
9. If you are going through hell.....keep going.
10. God brings men into deep waters not to drown them but to cleanse them.
11. Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we do.
12. Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in 2 small jumps.
13. Where there is no vision, the people perish. Proverbs 29:18
14. Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3
