What We Are Is More Important Than

A Friend Is A Possession We Earn, Not A Gift. ....the Lord Has Declared That Those Who Serve Him And Keep His Commandments Are Called His Servants. After They Have Been Tested And Tried And Are Found Faithful And True In All Things, They Are Called No Longer Servants, But Friends. His Friends Are The Ones He Will Take Into His Kingdom And With Whom He Will Associate In An Eternal Inheritance.

The Practice Of Thrift Is Not Outdated. We Must Discipline Ourselves To Live Within Our Incomes Even If It Means Going Without Or Making Do. The Wise Person Can Distinguish...between Basic Needs And Extravagant Wants. Some Find Budgeting Extremely Painful, But I Promise You, It Is Never Fatal.

Being Of Good Cheer Makes It Possible For Us To Turn All Of Our Sunsets Into Sunrises.

If We Could Look Into Each Other’s Hearts And Understand The Unique Challenges Each Of Us Faces, I Think We Would Treat Each Other Much More Gently, With More Love, Patience, Tolerance, And Care.

Perhaps The Greatest Charity Comes When We Are Kind To Each Other, When We Don’t Judge Or Categorize Someone Else, When We Simply Give Each Other The Benefit Of The Doubt Or Remain Quiet. Charity Is Accepting Someone’s Differences, Weaknesses, And Shortcomings; Having Patience With Someone Who Has Let Us Down; Or Resisting The Impulse To Become Offended When Someone Doesn’t Handle Something The Way We Might Have Hoped. Charity Is Refusing To Take Advantage Of Another’s Weakness And Being Willing To Forgive Someone Who Has Hurt Us. Charity Is Expecting The Best Of Each Other
