February 17, 2022 - Good Morning! It's Thursday, February 17.
"Nothing is Impossible" is one of my favorite old-time gospel songs. It was inspired by Matthew 19:26 - "with God all things are possible." I was thinking about that song and that verse, and was reminded of a humorous quote by the writer, A. A. Milne - "They say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing everyday."
You remember A. A. Milne. He wrote the "Winnie-the-Pooh" children's books. That cute little bear is the world's second most popular cartoon character - after Mickey Mouse. Who doesn't love Winnie! Well, A. A. Milne for one. He was a serious British author - of books and poetry and plays - but after Winnie made his debut, that was all anyone wanted him to write. It's like when a great actor is typecast by one successful role - and that's all Hollywood wants them to do for the rest of their life!
At any rate, Winnie has inspired generations of children to be kind and thoughtful and loving. Here are some more inspiring quotes from A. A. Milne.
- The things that make me different, are the things that make me me.
- Think it over. Think it under.
- Oh Tigger, where are your manners? I don't know, but wherever they are, I bet they're having more fun than I am.
- Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.
- Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we was underneath it? After careful thought, Pooh replied - supposing it didn't? Piglet was comforted by this.
- When you do the things that you can do, you will find a way.
Meet you back here tomorrow,
