I found the following on Facebook and thought I would share it with our readers. It’s called “Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah’s Ark.” It goes like this:
1. Don’t miss the boat.
2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.
3. Plan ahead, it wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.
4. Stay fit. When you’re really old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
5. Don’t listen to the critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
6. Build your future on high ground.
7. For safety sake, travel in pairs.
8. Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
9. When you’re stressed, float a while.
10. Remember, the ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
11. No matter the storm, when you are with God, there’s always a rainbow waiting. -MYBIBLE.COM
Hope it was enjoyed.

Think about it: “Thanks to those who hated me; you made me stronger. Thanks to those that loved me; you made my heart grow fonder. Thanks to those who cared; you made me feel important. Thanks to those who entered my life; you made me who I am today. Thanks to those that left; you showed me that nothing lasts forever. Thanks to those who stayed; you showed me true friends. Thanks to those who listened; you made me feel like I was worth it.” – Unknown
