Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.If you have nothing else to do, look about you and see if there isn't something close at hand that you can improve! It may make you wealthy, though it is more likely that it will make you happy.

Personal Story Of The Day
The Need To Co-operTate.
Teamwork is essential in business and industry. To underscore this point, a business magazine included this item: "You've heard of the diversity of the 'Tate' family. They exist in every organization. There is Dick Tate, who wants to run everything. Ro Tate tries to change everything. Agi Tate stirs up trouble whenever possible, and Irri Tate always lends him a hand.
"Whenever new ideas are suggested, Hesi Tate and Vegi Tate pour cold water on them. Imi Tate tries to mimic everyone, Devas Tate loves to be disruptive, and Poten Tate wants to be a big shot. But it's Facili Tate, Cogi Tate, and Medi Tate who always save the day and get everyone pulling together."
A one-man show doesn't get very far. But nowhere is this truth brought to a higher and more powerful fulfilment than in the body of Christ. The Scriptures teach that by God's design all who are in Christ have been made dependent on one another. We may think we can go it on our own, but we can't. We can't fulfill our high calling as members of the body of Christ until we begin to realize that we all have a vital part to play.
We are family. We need one another.
Jokes Of The Day
Checking out of the grocery store, I noticed that the bag boy was eyeing my two adopted children curiously. They often draw scrutiny, since my son is a blond Russian, while my daughter has shiny black Haitian skin.The boy continued staring as he carried our groceries to the car.
Finally, he asked. "Those your kids?"
"Yes, they are!" I answered proudly.
"They adopted?" he asked.
"Yes," I replied.
"I thought so," he concluded. "I figured you're too old to have kids that small."

An Irishman, a Mexican and a blond guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building. They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch I'm going to jump off this building."
The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too."
The blond guy opened his lunch and said, "Bologna again. If I get bologna sandwiches one more time I'm jumping too."
The next day the Irishman opens his lunch box, sees corned beef and cabbage and jumps to his death. The Mexican opens his lunch, sees burritos and jumps, too. The blond opens his lunch, sees the bologna sandwich and jumps to his death as well.
At the funeral the Irishman's wife is weeping. She says, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage I never would have given it to him again! The Mexican's wife also weeps and says, "I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."
Everyone turned and stared at the blonde's wife. "Hey, don't look at me," she said. "He makes his own lunch!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Hearts Of Faith And Obedience
And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant Genesis 17:7. References from Genesis 17.
We can sometimes tell a person's job by his or her clothing. Just by looking, we can see whether someone is a police officer, postman, soldier, or chef. People usually wear uniforms that visibly advertises their profession and sets them apart. In a sense, a uniform is a kind of sign to others of their function in society. Similarly, God gave Abram and his family circumcision as a sign of their election and His covenant with them. This is the second sign we've encountered so far in Genesis... the first was the rainbow, given to Noah.
A good definition of a sign is a physical representation of a spiritual reality. The spiritual reality here was the covenant. Its provisions were that God promised to make Abraham into a nation, give his descendants the land of Canaan, and be their God. Abram was to respond by walking before God in righteousness. For him to keep the covenant also meant to worship God alone, resisting the idolatrous, gentile culture around him.
To commemorate the establishment of male circumcision as a special sign of this covenant, God changed the names of Abram and Sarai to Abraham and Sarah. This signalled a decisive moment in their spiritual history. Now they belonged wholly to God... He had named them as parents and named their children. Very humanly, though, Abraham wondered about the fact that he was 99 years old and still had no son with Sarah. Actually, he laughed at the idea and begged God to accept Ishmael as the heir of the promises.
God told him that indeed Ishmael, as a son of Abraham, would be blessed, but he wasn't the covenant son. Isaac, meaning he laughs, would be born in about a year's time. Encouraged by a specific timeframe, Abraham obeyed God and circumcised all the males in his household that very day (v23). Circumcision may seem far from our theme of purpose, but in fact it's integrally connected. We are to live with circumcised hearts, meaning we are to be obedient, faithful, dedicated and spiritually minded (see Deut. 10:16-21; 1 Cor 7:19).
Ultimate Sacrifice
Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." And He said, "Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you." Genesis 22:1-2.
To love anyone at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be tested and possibly be broken. Abraham must have felt that way. He had waited 25 years to receive the blessing that God had promised him on the day he packed up his family and possessions and left Haran. He had waited 100 years to receive a very special son. How his heart must have ached when God commanded him to take his only son, his precious Isaac, and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on Mount Moriah. Even though he knew that God would ultimately deliver Isaac... he still faced the reality of sacrifice.
Even though he responded in faith, we can't imagine the hurt. It was the ultimate sacrifice. But Abraham is not the only one who was ever asked to make an ultimate sacrifice. God, too, gave His only Son. The apostle Paul reminds us that God "did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all" (Rom 8:32). And Peter draws our attention to the fact that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot (1Pet 1:18-19).
God knows the pain of an ultimate sacrifice. Has God asked you to make a sacrifice? Perhaps it's been the loss of a child, a cancer diagnosis, a bankruptcy. Do you feel that your life is in ashes, hopeless and irrecoverable? Lift your eyes to the Lord. Ask Him to meet you at the point of your need. God understands. He will comfort you. The greater the pain, the greater the compassion.
