Chesterton

"With every step of our lives we enter into the middle of some story which we are certain to misunderstand." --G. K. Chesterton.

Aren't those encouraging words to start the day with? Isn't it interesting to think how easy it is to misunderstand people and situations?


As you start the day let me suggest some things to keep in mind as you face the day...


1.  Every person that you meet today has a story unfolding in their lives.Watch diligently!


2.  Pay careful attention to people's stories and you might learn what makes them tick.Listen carefully!


3.  Before you share your story, let the other person share theirs. Wait patiently!

Recognize that what you see is not always what you get.

Today you will face many different people and situations. Some you will understand and others will be perplexing, and that's OK. Every step you take leads you into the middle of someone else's story.


G.K. Chesterton writing later in his life said it well..."I had always felt life first as a story and if there is a story there is a storyteller."


Get acquainted with the Storyteller today...let Him shape your life story so that you will be a "hope bearer" and "mercy giver." Keep your eyes and heart open today!
