Courage

I learned that
courage was not
the absence of fear,
but the triumph
over it.”

.
~Nelson Mandela

.
Fear is useful, at times.
Fear keeps one from putting their hand on a hot stove,
keeps one from walking out into the street before looking,
and keeps one from putting all of their eggs into one basket.
However, many of our fears are false,
we make them up.
Real fears, false fears,
know the difference and act accordingly.
For all your fears, have faith, pray, ask a friend,
and when it is apparent that our fears are false,
let go and let God have them.
Life is having the courage to triumph over false fears.
Life is living and loving in the here and now.

The Perfect Design

“The nose
of the bulldog has been
slanted backwards
so that he can breathe
without letting go.”

.
~ Winston Churchill

.
.
Tow legs, two arms, two eyes, two ears,
but unfortunately, only one brain.
However, the Creator was again perfect
because most of us cannot handle one brain
let alone two.
One free will, best used to do the will
of a loving Higher Power.
Today, be happy, use God’s perfect design to
make this world a better place for all.
Happiness is enjoying God’s perfect designs.
Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
