The shopkeeper was dismayed when a brand new business much like his own opened up next door and put up a huge sign which read BEST DEALS. He was horrified when another competitor opened up on his right, and announced its arrival with an even larger sign, reading LOWEST PRICES. Though troubled, the shopkeeper did not panic, he simply used his disadvantaged to his advantage….he put a sign bigger than the other two over his own shop that read... MAIN ENTRANCE
In the supermarket was a man pushing a cart which contained a screaming, bellowing baby. The gentleman kept repeating softly, "Don't get excited, Albert; don't scream, Albert; don't yell, Albert; keep calm, Albert." A woman standing next to him said, "You certainly are to be commended for trying to soothe your son, Albert." The man looked at her and said, "Lady, I'm Albert."
A lady was walking down the street to work and she saw a parrot on a perch in front of a pet store. The parrot said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly." Well, the lady is furious! She stormed past the store to her work. On the way home she saw the same parrot and it said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly." She was incredibly angry now. The next day the same parrot again said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly."
The lady was so angry that she went into the store and said that she would sue the store and kill the bird. The store manager replied, "That's not good," and promised the parrot wouldn't say that again. When the lady walked past the store that day after work the parrot called to her, "Hey lady." She paused and said, "Yes?"…The bird said, "You know..."
I love you and hope that you have a wonderful week....

It is my deepest hope that you will find something that may encourage you through these devotions and that through them you are encouraged to walk on a higher spiritual ground.
