The church that is not jealously protected by mighty intercession and
sacrificial labors will before long become the abode of every evil bird
and the hiding place for unsuspected corruption. The creeping wilderness
will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and
forgets to watch and pray. Author:

Faith Quotes and Proverbs
THE DONKEY
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for
hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the
animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't
worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a
shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized
what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he
quietened down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the
well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his
back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a
step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he
would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the
donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off! Life is
going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the
well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a
steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never
giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your heart from worries - Most never happen.
3. Free your heart from excess - Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Free your heart from greed - Give more.
5. Free your heart from selfishness - Expect less.
