Think on these things

By Joyce Sequichie Hifler 

No one fools like we fool ourselves. There’s hardly a subject about which we are more ignorant than ourselves. Our thoughts run wild, fed by five senses which takes their information from outside sources. We so often get wrong information from these little sentinels that cannot know but only judge-and we get hurt as a result.

No one fools like we fool ourselves. There’s hardly a subject about which we are more ignorant than ourselves. Our thoughts run wild, fed by five senses which takes their information from outside sources. We so often get wrong information from these little sentinels that cannot know but only judge-and we get hurt as a result.

Life relates to what we see, what we hear, what we smell-and it must all be tempered with our innerknowing. Our senses judge by appearance, and they are too often fooled by substitutes to make us think we are seeing the real thing. We are completely at sea on that basis, and we need to stop fooling ourselves and sum up the truth by keeping a daily log as our thoughts and prayers surface with the Spirit that knows.
