Giving Your 100%

Here is something a friend emailed me. I found it quite intriguing and thought I'd share it with y'all. Have a blessed day!

A Thought for the Day From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to give over 100%.
How about achieving 101%? What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you
answer these questions:
If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

AND, look how far the love of God will take you

L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close,
and Attitude will get you there,
it's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Hey All who read~

Merry Christmas Eve.... and to save me from having to do this tomorrow.... Merry Christmas Day!!!!  I am so excited! I love Christmas!!! Jesus is the reason for the season. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't even have Christmas. A time to exchange gifts and share love and experience the joy that only Christ could bring! Everyone needs to remember to thank the Lord for sending us his only Son that we may have life, and have it more abundantly, and that we may share His Good News with all those around us! Have a great Christmas season and continue to share His Good News with others... the reason we celebrate!

"Happy Birthday Jesus!!! My Lord and Savior!!!"

Blessings~

~RESPECT FOR THOSE IN UNIFORM~

Hello Again,

The other day as Mom and I were leaving the mall we happened to pass two men well dressed in their army uniforms. As soon as we reached the car and out of earshot of the two, Mom made the comment that she almost felt obligated to salute them. I told her that I had the same unique gut feeling to say something, or shake their hands, or somehow show them how much we appreciate their volunteer efforts for our country.  On the way home we discussed how often it seems that the news brings up all the negative outlooks on the war and our men and women fighting for our country, and significantly less the positive actions and comments that are given and recognized. If the news won't give our men and women in uniform the respect and honor that they deserve, shouldn't we start showing our gratitude by at least saying "thank you" when passing by? Just something I've been pondering the last few days.

Ok, I'm tired. Have a lovely day!

Stephanie
