A new thought from: Peter Britt
My mother used to tell me about a proverb in the bible, one she ensured I understood. I decided to share it with you, here.
"I cried because I had no shoes, until I saw a man who had no feet."
Why post this you ask? Not preaching, only sharing. The point of course, is to be grateful for what you have, because you could have much less and many do.
Myself, being in a self-reflective mood today, I'm thinking about the way I act towards others in my life, and the way perhaps at times, they do not act in like fashion. That being said, on with the show!
"Wouldn't it be nice if everyone treated others truly, as they wish to be treated?
Wouldn't it be nice if truth wasn't merely a word to many people and, those to whom it is mostly just a word, could see that even though truth sometimes hurts, the alternative takes away from our character a little at a time.
Wouldn't it be nice if all we had to do to be happy is give of ourselves, and it was given back as eagerly?
Wouldn't it be nice if we held out our hand to someone and that instant was a defining moment in their life? <---That one is easy, if you try!
Wouldn't it be nice if things were not complicated? <---Not so easy!
Wouldn't it be nice to be on a deserted island right now? <---Man, do I wish I could find one!
Wouldn't it be nice to know that everyone you love, loves you back with the same intensity, trust and respect that you give? <---Never stop trying
Well, I'm sure I have sufficiently bored at least some here today. Just perhaps, there is something to learn within all that, perhaps."
