It requires humility to acknowledge your inability, and at the same time to acknowledge God's ability to do anything through you.

Reflections:You Need Rest To Do Your Best

                        

Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

People are a lot like batteries; they need rest, they need recharging, and they can’t stand too much draining. You’ve got to take care of yourself.

Proper diet, proper exercise, proper rest, and proper living will keep almost anyone healthy.

Reflections:Question for Socrates...

                     

Our attitude strongly affects how we view life: The optimist says his glass of water is half full; the pessimist says his glass of water is half empty.
Always look at the bright side of life, make yourself happy! 

Socrates was sitting outside of the gates of Athens when a man came up to him and said, “I am thinking about moving into Athens. Can you please tell me what it is like to live here?”

Socrates replied, “I would be happy to tell you, but first would you please tell me what it was like in your previous home city?” 

CNB Fruity Talk:Banana-Do you know that...

                    

Bananas are a good source of B vitamins, which may help to remedy sleeplessness, mood swings, and irritability. They also contain vitamin C, as well as magnesium and potassium, which make them a great electrolyte replenisher, particularly after exercising or on a hot day.

Do you know that eating only two bananas will give you enough energy to exercise or workout for an hour and a half.

Eat just as it is, make smoothie, used in making desserts. Because of their great taste, they can be substituted for sweets and satisfy sugar cravings.

 They’re fairly high in natural sugars, so rather than reaching for processed sweet junk foods, next time opt for a banana to satisfy that sweet craving. Peel and enjoy, or blend into a smoothie or juice.
