SHORT BUT SWEET:One spring day, three-year-old Douglas helped his grandfather fertilise the lawn. When the job was finished, Grandpa handed his grandson two euro. “Well, Douglas,” Grandpa said, looking at the lawn, “what do you think?” Looking at the money in his hand, Douglas confidently replied, “I think it needs to be done again, Grandpa!”

SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK:

“Busy is a drug that a lot of people are addicted to.” Rob Bell

“Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath.” Eckhart Tolle

“Things present themselves to you, and it’s how you choose to deal with them that reveals who you are.” Cate Blanchett

“My father could have been a great comedian but he didn’t believe that was possible for him, and so he made a conservative choice. Instead, he got a safe job as an accountant and when I was 12 years old he was let go from that safe job. I learned many great lessons from my father. Not the least of which was that: You can fail at what you don’t want. So you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.” Jim Carrey

“What you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing; it also depends on what sort of person you are.” C.S. Lewis

“Some days there won’t be a song in your heart. Sing anyway.” Emory Austin

“Lots and lots of things scare me; but you just get on with it, fright can transform into petrol. You just have to use it to your advantage.” Judi Dench

ONE SENTENCE SERMON: The hardest battle you’ll ever fight: Who you are now versus Who you want to be.
