POLISHING UP

AS WE GO THROUGH LIFE'S JOURNEY, WE HEAR FAMILIAR QUOTES THAT WE TEND TO CARRY WITH US ALONG THE WAY. HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITES.

I'VE LEARNED THAT YOU SHOULDN'T GO THROUGH LIFE WITH A CATCHER'S MIT ON BOTH HANDS; YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO THROW SOMETHING BACK - MAYA ANGELOU.  IF YOU DON'T LIKE BEING A DOORMAT THEN GET OFF THE FLOOR-AL ANON.  THE SECRET OF GETTING AHEAD IS GETTING STARTED- SALLY BERGER.  IT IS ONLY WHEN WE TRULY KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE A LIMITED TIME ON EARTH AND THAT WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHEN OUR TIME IS UP THAT WE WILL BEGIN TO LIVE EACH DAY TO THE FULLEST, AS IF IT WERE THE OLY ONE WE HAD-ELISABETH KUBLER-ROSS.

WE ALL HAVE AREAS IN OUR LIVES THAT NEED IMPROVEMENT OR POLISHING UP, WHETHER IT IS OUR CAREERS, RELATIONSHIPS, FITNESS, MINISTRY OR A MORE INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. WE ALL HAVE FLAWS, SECRETS, MISTAKES WE ARE NOT PROUD OF, BUT THE IDEAL THING OF ALL OF THIS IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT, OWN IT, DUST YOURSELF OFF AND COME OUT POLISHED FROM BEING TARNISHED.  WHEN WE POLISH UP, IT SMOOTHES OUT ON THE SURFACE AND AROUND ALL THE EDGES!
