You Will Never Be Sorry #5

I hope you are enjoying Uncle Ben's challenging  thoughts. The next is:

You Will Never Be Sorry

For helping a fallen brother,

The first thought that comes to mind is the "Golden Rule." We should all seek to "do unto others as we would have them do unto us." The person who looks only to his or her own interests is a lonely people indeed. The more we help others, the more we are rewarded. A quote from the Great Book says,

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall , the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when hefalleth ; for he hath not another to help him up . 11 Again, if two lie together , then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken .  (Eccles. 4)


Our week is coming to a swift close & the summer heat is all around us. Be cool & take time to watch & listen to the birds.

More Uncle Ben wisdom...

You'll never be sorry

For being candid and frank,

This is an easy one for me to follow. I've never been one to well people what I think they want to hear. I like to shoot straight from the hip and prefer others to do the same.

Being candid and frank requires a little courage sometimes, but in the end, it is the best way. People might not appreciate this approach at first, but later on they will.

You Will Never Be Sorry #3

Continuing our Uncle Ben thoughts...


You will never be sorry
For forgiving your enemies,


With the focus today so much on our "rights," etc., thinking of others has taken a back seat. When we do think about our enemies, it is usually not to forgive them --more likely we condemn them. How unlike the words of our Master in Luke 6:28 where we read:


"Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you."


We are now at the mid-point of the week--I hope you have had more successes than failures in your Christian business endeavors! Take care & may God bless you REAL GOOD.

You'll Never Be Sorry #2...

Uncle Ben says, "You will never be sorry

For hearing before judging,"

It is so very easy to listen to someone for a few seconds & then make up our mind about what they are saying. I am reminded some of the news TV shows my wife watches daily. One person starts talking & then the other person interrupts with their thoughts, without giving the other person a chance to finish speaking. I wonder if I am the only one watching that thinks this is bad manners to say the least?

I read this great thought in a famous book years ago & I think it is still very true: "Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, & slow to wrath."

I hope every one is having a wonderful & fulfilling week. Be sure to keep the faith & love as you wish to be loved.

You Will Never Be Sorry--

For thinking before acting,
(From Uncle Ben's Quotebook--more to come in future)

A well thought-out plan is essential in business as well as in other areas of our lives. We've all heard the phrase, "If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time." Thinking & planning seem to me to be closely related.

Here is an article I just found on thinking before acting--I hope it proves of interest to you.

Think Before You Act

If you are not sure about an action, ask advice, talk it over with someone who will give you objective advice. If you are in a position where you need to act without thinking it through, stall for time or just don't do it.

The story of a teenage beauty queen who acted on impulse and then regretted it has been in the news. She and some friends left a restaurant without paying a small bill of about $50. She forgot her handbag and went back for it, only to find that the restaurant manager had called the police. They discovered some marijuana in her bag and she and her friends were arrested. She lost her beauty crown as a result.

These were teenagers acting stupidly without thinking through to the consequences. They got caught up in the impulse and didn't think at all. We all have crazy impulses but mostly we think before we put them into action and realize that they are crazy. If in doubt give yourself more time to think, think again and only act once you are sure, or don't act at all.

Coaching

Actions always have consequences. If you want to avoid doing things that you will regret, make sure that you think through your actions beforehand. The consequences of unthinking action may not have you arrested, but could cause hurt feelings or embarrassment, which could have been avoided if you'd taken the time to think. Think before you act and avoid a lot of grief and heartache in your life.

Coaching Question

Do you take the time to think before you act?

Daily Action

Get into the habit of Stop, Think, Think again, then Act. This rule will keep you from a lot of regrets.

Fifth Important Lesson--Giving when it counts

Many years ago when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old bother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it, if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in a bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then, his face grew paleand his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor & asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?" Being young the little boy misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
