Lessons from Noah's Ark

Perhaps you are familiar with the book of short essays titled All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten by American author Robert Fulghum. It is often quoted in speeches, lectures, and at graduations. If you’re not familiar with the book, in it the author lists kindergarten lessons and explains how the world would be improved if adults adhered to the same basic rules as kindergartners. If you’ve never read it, it’s worth getting a copy.
 
I was sent a parody-of-sorts of Fulghum’s essay called Everything I Need to Know About Life, I Learned from Noah’s Ark. I thought I’d share it with you as I found it entertaining but also true.

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 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
5. Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
6. Build your future on high ground.
7. For safety’s 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 clear skies waiting.

 
Share this with someone in your life and invite them to come to church next week. We’d love to see them with us! God bless you all.
