Let me take this opportunity to officially introduce my self to this wonderful family. I have been looking at the postings. They uplift my spirit; it seems to me that I will really enjoy your company.. I have a story to share with you.
Ephesians 4:26
"Be angry and do not sin, do not let the sun go down in your wrath"
I read this verse in the bible and felt it good to share this story with you. I hope that it brings a big change in your life.
A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see and asked the students. "How much do you think this glass weigh"? 50gms!
100gms! 125gms… On student answered "I really don't know unless I weigh it". "What would happen if I held it up for a few minutes?" asked the professor. "Nothing"…. Said another student.
"Okay, what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?" The professor asked. "Your arm would begin to ache", said one of the students. "You are right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?" Asked the professor. "Your arm could go numb, you might have a severe muscle stress and paralysis and have to go to hospital for sure!.." ventured another student and all students laughed. "Very good…" said the professor. "But during all this time did the weight of the glass change?" The professor asked. "No" was the answer
"Then what caused the arm to ache and the muscle stress?" Asked the professor.. The students were puzzled. "What should I do now to get out of the pain?" Asked the professor again? "Put the glass down!" Said one of the students. "Exactly!" Said the professor.
Life problems something like this, hold it in a few minutes in your head and they seem okay. Think of them for a long time and they begin to ache.. Hold it even longer and they begin to paralyze and you will not be able to do anything.
It is important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, but even more important is to put them down at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh and strong and can handle any issue or challenge that comes your way. So as you leave your office today remember friend to Put the glass down
Peace, love & joy
Alex
