Max Lucado in his book Life Lessons from the Book of Romans writes this in the introduction:
At the moment I don’t feel too smart. I just got off the wrong plane that took me to the wrong city and left me at the wrong airport. I went east instead of west and ended up in Houston instead of Denver.

love stories of over-comers, like…
o Johnny Fulton, who was run over by a car at the age of three. He suffered crushed hips, broken ribs, a fractured skull, and compound fractures in his legs. It didn’t look as if he would live. But he would not give up. In fact, he later ran the half-mile in

Delayed gratification is also important in training children. A lot of parents are unwilling to make sacrifices that are necessary in order to meet their children’s deepest needs. A promotion at work, a TV show, or a nap on the sofa may all seem much more enticing
