ALL WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW WE LEARNED FROM NOAH'S ARK Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. "Stop what you are doing, and do what God says!" Build your future on high ground. Don't forget that we're all in the same boat. Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done. Don't miss the boat. For safety's sake, travel in pairs. If you can't fight or flee -- float! If you have to start over, have a friend by your side. No matter how bleak it looks, there's always a rainbow on the other side. No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark. Remember that amateurs built the ark and professionals built the Titanic. Remember that the woodpeckers INSIDE are often a bigger threat than the storm outside. Remember that we are all in the same boat. Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals. Speed isn't always an advantage. The cheetahs were on board, but so were the snails. Stay below deck during the storm. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big. Take care of your animals as if they were the last ones on earth. Two heads are better than one. When the doo-doo gets really deep, don't sit there and complain -- shovel!!! When you're stressed, float a while.

Hello Linda, Wonderful food for thought Rose

Every one is so true. I especially like "Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.".Thank you for sharing it.

I like this a lot. ron s.

What you say sounds good, but I beg to differ with you.... God planned the building of the Ark. Not Man, and if we depend on man to do the work without putting God first, you will still fail, If you want to build an ark that floats, put him first, let him guide you while you build it, according to his plan, and it will not sink... We in this century have put Him ( God) on the back burner, and think we are so smart that we can do it ourself.... Sorry, It will not work... You must put him FIRST. build what you like, but if it is not by his plan, you will sink sooner or later.... The enemy will come in like a flood, Build it with the right materials, and plan, and you will succeed.... SOME THINK THEY CAN DO IT BY THEMSELVES.. BUT NOT SO.
