Here are six quips (clever and sometimes humorous remarks) I read some time ago. I saved them in my “blog” file to use at a later date. Today is that date. While they may not be humorous, they are clever and have great meaning.

1. Once all villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer, all the people gathered, but only one boy came with an umbrella. That is faith.
2. When you throw babies in the air, they laugh because they know you will catch them.  That is trust.
3. Every night we go to bed without any assurance of being alive the next morning, but still we set alarms to wake up. That is hope.
4. We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the future. That is confidence.
5. We see the world suffering, but still we get married and have children. That is love.
6. An old man wore a shirt that said, “I am not 80 years old. I am 17 with 63 years of experience. That is attitude.

These quips all have simple messages, but share the lessons we learn from our Lord.  If we have faith in God, we are confident He loves us unconditionally. We know we can trust Him to walk with us, guide us and give us hope we will live with Him eternally in the place He has prepared for us.

For all the earthly gifts God has given us and all the promises He makes to us if we believe in Him and follow in His ways, we need to have an attitude of gratitude for all He does! Thanks be to God!
