Where Are You Looking?



“Look up and not down.  Look forward and not back.  Look out and not in, and lend a hand.”  (Edward Everett Hale)

When we look up we can receive encouragement from the God who created us in His image. If we look down we become dizzy because of the numerous possibilities of failure.

When we look forward we use today wisely and we are prepared for tomorrow.  If we look back continually we are either lulled into complacency by previous accomplishments or we are overwhelmed by remembering failures.

When we look out we are aware of this world being a neighborhood that needs to become a brotherhood.  When we look inwardly only we become intoxicated with the wine of self-centeredness.
