Laws of the Lighthouse by Max Lucado

I was surprised as I received one of my favorite email devotionals which is from Max Lucado with a special bookmark. Oh how I LOVE bookmarks! If you notice, I have posted 2 of my bookmarks here in my blog. The other bookmarks have been shared to others. I can still buy more. hehehe! I'm astounded because you certainly receive when you give. And it's for free. Yay! I've got a free bookmark from one of my favorite authors with a very insightful messages on it.

Here are the Laws of the Lighthouse:

Smart move. The wise captain shifts the direction of his craft according to the signal of the lighthouse. A wise person does the same.

Herewith, then, are the lights I look for and the signals I heed:

– Love God more than you fear hell.
– Once a week, let a child take you on a walk.
– Make major decisions in a cemetery.
– When no one is watching, live as if someone is.
– Succeed at home first.
– Don’t spend tomorrow’s money today.
– Pray twice as much as you fret.
– Listen twice as much as you speak.
– Only harbor a grudge when God does.
– Never outgrow your love of sunsets.
– Treat people like angels; you will meet some and help make some.
– ‘Tis wiser to err on the side of generosity than on the side of scrutiny.
– God has forgiven you; you’d be wise to do the same.
– When you can’t trace God’s hand, trust his heart.
– Toot your own horn and the notes will be flat.
– Don’t feel guilty for God’s goodness.
– The book of life is lived in chapters, so know your page number.
– Never let the important be the victim of the trivial.
– Live your liturgy.

To sum it all up:
Approach life like a voyage on a schooner. Enjoy the view. Explore the vessel. Make friends with the captain. Fish a little. And then get off when you get home.

I can't begin to tell you how much your posts mean to me tonight. This is just so amazing. I love it! Of course I always love your posts. :)
"Love God more than you fear hell." That's easy!
"Once a week, let a child take you on a walk." Okay, that sounds like fun. "Make major decisions in a cemetary." Hmmm. "When no one is watching, live as if someone is." Already do that. ;) "Succeed at home first" This is very good. "Don't spend tomorrow's money today." Great advice, as it just creates unwanted problems. "Pray twice as much as you fret." Already do! Hallelujah! "Listen twice as much as you speak." Try very hard to do that. "Only harbor a grudge when God does." Boy have I been learning that one big time! "Never outgrow your love of sunsets." That will never happen. "Treat people like angels; you will meet some and help make some." How neat! "'Tis wiser to err on the side of generosity than on the side of scrutiny." I love this one! "God has forgiven you; you'd be wise to do the same." Oh yes, and done that tonight!!! "When you can't trace God's hand, trust his heart." Oh yes, good words! "Toot your own horn and the notes will be flat." Oh yes. Don't like to look for recognition. "Don't feel guilty for God's goodness." No way. "The book of life is lived in chapters, so know your page number." Wow, this is good. Do you know yours? "Never let the important be the victim of the trivial." This is very good! "Live your liturgy." Oh yeah!

What a great post. Always look forward to reading your posts. Can't wait to read more!!!!
