If we could remember these 3 P's, how much more could be done? I can tell you the opposite of these does not get you anywhere.
BE POSITIVE. I'd rather a person remain silent than to speak negative. A positive word builds you up with encouragement, but a negative word robs your spirit. 'You can't have a positive life with a negative attitude.'
BE PATIENT. The world does not work or run on your time table. Just hold your horses, already. 'Faith in God includes faith in His timing.' When you doubt it's ever going to happen, you're doubting His faithfulness.
BE PERSISTENT. [not a codeword for nag, just sayin] We must never give up on doing good. We must pray without ceasing. We must finish the race strong. We must continue the good fight. Giving up should not be an option to what is important to you.
The three p's, huh? Buster has the 5 ps: "prior planning prevents poor performance." I'll have to meditate on yours awhile. I've heard the others for 44 years.
ReplyDeleteLike all the "p's" you both offered! And both so true!! Love your statement that "persistence is NOT another word for nag", Angie. I MUST remember that. I do consider myself persistent until I reach my goal and I do not give up easily, but I wonder how many people I drive crazy in the process, LOL! Thanks for all the "p's" today! Love you, T.
