I was just working on a project and noted something strange... *I was happy<G> Though the task was simple I knew what to do.. practice had made the skills needed to succeed well with in my grasp! Many of our boys think that because they cannot '"do" something today... that might mean they "never will get it right"... *That just isn't right! -------------------- God has given us a precious thing... *Time The Bible says that there is a *Time and purpose for everything.. and if we trust that to be true.. (It is by the way<G>) then we must admit that "OUR TIME" will come<G> Suddenly.. the classes that I might have blown in school can be put into perspective! I have the *time to go back and do it right! Mayby just because Commanders son knows all the answers... I can see that in *time my turn will come and I too will advance to the GMA! Last meeting.. I handed a boy a short rope and he was to tie a square knot.. (Left over right...right over left) and he was troubled and faced that "inner-wall" of self doubt..... *But we were not in a "rush"... I could wait<G> and suddenly or ...in a moment of time<G> the boy was able to understand the task, he gained confidence and did right! The success a boy finds in doing something right is the key to developing good feelings about social interactions if tempered by a like desire to "Lift" another as well! It's like wakeing sleeping giants... *all the boys can succeed in time.. at Royal Rangers! The trail get's steeper as we advance.. not to discourage us, but rather to match our new found skills and abilities... We exercise our hearts.. and our capacity to understand others, good feelings will grow. If we exercise our bodies we gain health... If we read the Bible our relationship with our God will blossum... The final task is to share the wealth! When you boil down the "perfect outpost" it's basic unit is friendship...forgiveness.. and unity of purpose. Being there releases Joy..Peace and beauty<G>! and Freedom of the heart is found! *Do this! Greet someone.. the next person you meet and SMILE! ...ask them something about themselvs.. compliment something about them.. then *stick out your hand and take theirs! Look them in the eyes and say: HOWDY! -=A=- _______ To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe rangernet" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Eat the hay & spit out the sticks! - A#1's mule" RTKB&G4JC! http://rangernet.org Autoresponder: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
