From My Wonderful Friend, Tim...Thoughts On Investing

leisure time while ministering in beautiful Alaska


My simple thought for today is, 'good things come to those who are patient.'

In Ecclesiastes 11:1 we are told, 'Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days'....the waters are a type of people....it simply means to invest in people, but the important thing is the essence of time in this verse, after many days. That certainly doesn't sound like a get-rich-quick plan does it?

Ronny Milsap sings a song that says..."let's take the long way around the world...and lets take it real slow"....Proverbs 28:20 tells us 'he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent' and the message Bible says...committed and persistent work pays off; get-rich schemes are ripoffs....in your patience possess ye your souls...simply stated: just stay with the program and don't give up!

....if you stop, you'll drop,
....if you doubt, you're out,
....if you pray, you can stay,
...if you fast you'll last,
...if you can take it, you can make it.

Have a blessed day!
