DESIGN YOUR YEAR FOR LAUGHTER

Sluggishness, lack of knowledge, procrastination, and the likes all contribute to delays in life which brings about worries, restlessness, regret, depression, crashed hopes and dreams, poverty, insults and the likes. When we set out early, we beat the traffic and avoid any disappointment that may be caused by hold ups on the way. Severally, I have attended programmes either early or late and I have been able to experience the difference. I tend to be more relaxed, organized and attentive when I attend a programe early compared to when I am late to any programme.  When we do those things we are supposed to do and on time, we will achieve results and appreciate life more. Life is all about planning and timely implementation. 

This is New Year. Please let the planning and implementation begin. Make every hour count so that by December, we shall all count our blessings because God himself is prepared to crown our year with goodness if we are able to do every good work with our brain and hands.

I want to inspire your year by the story bellow culled from: http://www.Spiritual-Short-Stories.comUR?

 I Can Sleep When The Wind Blows

Years ago a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic, wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops.

As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady stream of refusals. Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached the farmer. “Are you a good farm hand?” the farmer asked him. “Well, I can sleep when the wind blows,” answered the little man. Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, hired him.

The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man’s work. Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand’s sleeping quarters.

He shook the little man and yelled, “Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!” The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, “No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows.”

Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarpaulins.

The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, and the doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down. Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew.
