It was World War II, and the captain was attempting to rally the GIs on the eve of a big offensive.
“Out there,” said the captain, “is your enemy. The man who has made your life miserable, who is working to destroy you; the man who has been trying to kill you day after day throughout this war.”
Private Johnson jumped to his feet. “The cook’s working for the Germans!”

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said… people will forget what you did… but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Thought for the day
Don’t let the cares of life crowd out daily time with the Lord. When things aren’t going as we think they should, our natural reaction most likely is work harder and do more. Unfortunately, that generally results in wasted energy. Seek wisdom and direction through prayer and in God’s Word. Follow as he leads and trust that he will make a path for you. You cannot fully know the heart and mind of God without spending time with him.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 (NIV)
