Guest guest Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 THINK on THESE THINGS By Joyce Sequichie Hifler There seems to be two important things to do in times of difficulty. One is to pray and the other is to keep our sense of humor. The first is essential to make the basic correction and the other is necessary to balance the human spirit while things work out. Without a sense of humor, we tend to become too serious about the personal self. It becomes all too important, too self-righteous, and far too self-centered. At the first signs of trouble, we may want to find someone wiser in whom to confide and ask questions. And their advice may be most helpful, but it is still our own responsibility to get off our backs and do it with dignity and self-respect that will not lower our standards not cause us embarrassment. And humor can help us do it. There is humor in every situation if we can detach ourselves from the seriousness of it long enough to look for it. Abraham Lincoln knew the importance of his sense of humor and said, " With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 THINK ON THESE THINGS By Joyce Sequichie Hifler What would the old Indians have thought about the time we are living in? Some would only grunt but their thoughts would have been profound. They had ways of "hearing through the bushes", meaning they could hear the signs of the times -- yes, they had ways we do not understand with all our electronic equipment. When we stopped believing in the supernatural we gave up our sensitive understanding, our ability to hear through the bushes. When we were very young we had no TV, no radio, no cell phones or taped music. Our perception was very sharp, and though our mother tried to put a lid on mine, I would say it all anyway. Children without cartoons are more "knowing" than those whose minds are being entertained but not particularly taught. Never feel bad because of what was not available. Be glad that you can think and be richly blessed, and don't be surprised when you can "hear through the bushes." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Yes, I'm a firm believer in affirmations, as I said. How do you think I've grown to just think I'm gorgeous...affirmations my love, okay, the jokes on me, ha ha ha But really, I do believe...I had a book with affirmations in it that all one did was change the wording to fit whatever it was. Truly worked for me, but I loaned it to a friend and never got it back. It was a great book and I don't even remember the name of it any more. I'm still trying to get you Carlene, but it won't work when I click on the tlick to email you personally. When I click it all it does is keep thinking but nothing happens. I'll keep trying.

Affirmations work when we put thework into them. An affirmation is mind-power in action.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hadn't thought about that, good idea, Thanks From: Carlene <carlene.grimshaw@...>Subject: Re: THINK ON THESE THINGS Date: Saturday, January 30, 2010, 1:06 AM Hey, , that's a beautiful kind of affirmation that makes you thinkthat you're gorgeous. I might have to try that one. lolI hate it when you can't remember the title of a book. There's a book Iwould like to get again but the title's slipped my memory. What if yougo to Amazon under books and key in affirmations. Maybe if you scrolledthrough the various titles you might recall the book. Maybe itwould work- maybe not.Hope you work out the email problem. Can be frustrating when thathappens. hugs Carlene >> Yes, I'm a firm believer in affirmations, as I said. How do youthink I've grown to just think I'm gorgeous...affirmat ions my love,okay, the jokes on me, ha ha ha> Â> But really, I do believe...I had a book with affirmations in it thatall one did was change the wording to fit whatever it was. Trulyworked for me, but I loaned it to a friend and never got it back. It was a great book and I don't even remember the name of it any more.> Â> I'm still trying to get you Carlene, but it won't work when I click onthe tlick to email you personally. When I click it all it does iskeep thinking but nothing happens. I'll keep trying. Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
