One who doesn't hate but cannot love, does not rock the boat but cannot use the oar to bring the boat to safety?
Do you -
(a) wait for returns when you give something to others?
You should -
(b) make service an integral part of your life - doing unnoticed signs of kindness.
(c) think life is a great deal more fun when you stop blaming others.
(d) become an early riser, think more time to life than work, children and sleep - instead try to enjoy the blessings of the sunrise, the quietness of the environment, the many wonderful things God does when we are quiet and there is peace about.
(e) let others be right most of the time.
(f) spend a moment every day thinking of someone to thank.
(g) smile at strangers, look into their eyes and say, "Hello".
(h) make peace with imperfections.
Learn to love the unlovable. It pays.
Let us always remember how much the good Lord loves us. Teach the little ones all the wonders He made for us. Let us proclaim His love always - This poem tells us why. (Adapted)
All things bright and beautiful; all creatures great and small (can you name some?)
All things wise and wonderful; the Lord God made them all (have you seen them?)
Each little flower that opens; each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colors; He made their tiny wings
The purple headed mountain; the river running by
The morning and the sunset; He made them everyone
He gave us eyes to see them and lips that we might tell
How great is our God, our Father
Who doeth all things well.
There may be lines that I cannot remember.
What other wonders God made for you and me? How do we show our gratitude for them?
