02/04/17 Weekend Grif.Net - Commandments 11-20

[Robert Griffin]

Everyone KNOWS the "10" Commandments (sadly, few of us actually practice them).  Not many know the next ten . . .

 

11^th Commandment. Thou shalt not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.

 

12^th Commandment. Thou shalt not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.

 

13^th Commandment. Thou shalt not cross bridges before you come to them, for no one has yet succeeded in accomplishing this.

 

14^th Commandment. Thou shalt handle only one problem at a time, and leave the others to the Lord until their turn comes up.

 

15^th Commandment. Thou shalt not take troubles to bed with you, for they make very poor bedfellows.

 

16^th Commandment. Thou shalt not try to carry the problems of the world on your shoulders, for nobody  (except for One) has a back that is broad enough.

 

17^th Commandment. Thou shalt be a good listener, for God often speaks to us through the mouths of others.

 

18^th Commandment. Thou shall not try to relive yesterday; for good or ill, it is forever gone. Live in the now and rejoice in it.

 

19^th Commandment. Thou shalt firmly dismiss feelings of frustration, for 90% of it is rooted in self-pity and will interfere with positive action.

 

20^th Commandment. Thou shalt count thy blessings, never overlooking the smallest, for our biggest blessings are composed of many small ones.
