TALENT, FAME AND CONCEIT
Kathleen Martens
April 03,2017
When God gives a talent
It is a gift.
We should be humble
As our thanks we lift.
When fame happens
From others it’s given.
The accolades of man
For the life you are living.
But self importance
Comes in the form of conceit.
So you must be careful
And not repeat!
The above poem was inspired by the following quote:
“Talent is God-given: be humble.
Fame is man-given: be thankful.
Conceit is self given: be careful.”
Quoted from:
“Quotable

WORDS OF WISDOM, PREPARATION,

The following quote is from the same book:
“Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming”
The following quotes were sent to me by my friend Marilyn:
“Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.” Author Unknown
“I have learned that being kind is more important than being right.” Author Unknown
“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.”
Quote from: 1 John 2:15-17 NLT (New Living Testament)
Thank You God for the protection of our children and grandchildren in this world we live in.
Thank You for a husband that is not a complainer.
Thank You for the encouragement I receive from Your Word.
Thank You for opening my eyes to something new every single day!
GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS YOU! REMEMBER TO BE THANKFUL!
