"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it."

1. Wake Up - Decide to have a good day.
"Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice & be glad in it" Psalms 118:24

2. Dress Up - The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart" I Sam 16:7

3. Shut Up - Say nice things & learn to listen. God gave us 2 ears and 1 mouth so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking.
"He who guards his lips guards his soul" Proverbs 13:3
"Gossip betrays confidence avoid men who talk too much" Proverbs 20:19
"Listen to advice, accept instruction and in the end, you will be wise" Proverbs19:20

4. Stand Up - For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.
"Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore,as we have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10

5. Look Up - To the Lord.
"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength"...Philippians 4:13

6. Reach Up - For something higher.
As Jiminy Cricket sings "High Hopes" Always try to better yourself.

7. Lift Up - Your Prayers.
"Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING" Philippians 4:6

These bits of wisdom were shared with me today and I thought I would share them with you who I love and who loves God. So have a great day and remember the 7-ups of life.

One afternoon, a wealthy lawyer was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw two men eating grass by the road side. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

"Why are you eating grass?" he asked one man.

"We don't have any money for food." the poor man replied.

"Oh, come along with me then." instructed the lawyer.

"But, sir, I have a wife and two children!"

"Bring them along!" replied the lawyer. He turned to the other man and said, "Come with us."

"But sir, I have a wife and six children!" the second man answered.

"Bring them as well!" answered the lawyer as he headed for his limo.

They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limo. Once underway, one of the poor fellows says,

"Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."

The lawyer replied, "No problem, the grass at my home is almost a foot tall."
