The Real Fred Hammond's Thoughts

God always cuts, prunes, strips, removes, crushes and tears me before He elevates. Anything that can be shaken is shaken, I've seen it time and time again trust me it's always been that way. The cutting is surgery, the pruning is to bring new ripe fruit, the striping and removal is to Add new, the crushing is for the anointing, the tearing is for humility and preparation, but the BLESSING=PRICELESS

Life Lessons

No matter what happens,
How bad it seems today,
Life does go on
Tomorrow is a brand new day.

You can tell a lot about a person by
The way they handle four things:
A rainy day,
The elderly,
Lost luggage, and
Tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned,
Regardless of your relationship with your parents,
You'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I've learned making a living
Is not the same thing as making a life.
I've learned life sometimes gives you a second chance

I've learned you shouldn't go through life
With a catcher's mitt on both hands.
You need to be able to throw something back

I've learned if you pursue happiness, it will elude you
But if you focus on your family, friends, the needs of others,
Doing the very best you can, happiness will find you

I've learned when I decide something with an open heart,
I usually make the right decision.

I've learned though I have pain, I don't have to be one.

Reach out and touch others lives.
A smile, a warm hug, a pat on the back,
Show them the love of Jesus in you.

I've learned I still have a lot to learn.
