Jack’s Winning Words 2/26/18
“Sometimes, if God can’t find a hammer to tap the nail into the wall, he’ll use the heel of an old shoe.” (Quaker Saying) There were times as I was growing up that we had to make do. Do you know that expression? Sometimes mom’s tastiest meals didn’t come from a recipe book. A little bit of this; a little bit of that. She was a kitchen magician. So it is with life. It’s not always what we’d like, but somehow it works out. We do the best we can with what we have. ;-) Jack
FROM FACEBOOK LIZ: i shared this on my fb today...never heard this saying, but i like it! ====JACK: I like the Quakers, too. In their honor I try to eat oatmeal once a week.
FROM TAMPA SHIRL: Yes and take one day at a time====JACK: Sometimes we ask too many "What ifs?..." before taking action.
FROM LP IN TWINSLAND: Love this one!====JACK: I love this time of the baseball season when all teams have yet to lose a real game.
FROM BLAZING OAKS: Yes, somewhat like the saying "God does not call the equipped, He equips the called;" He can endow a willing heart with the needed skills to do his work! I like G.K. Chesterton's comment: "All Theology has two simple principles: that we matter, and that everyone else matters." (!)====JACK: The humble Sunday School teacher is a theologian, too.
