Kindness

There are three ways to ultimate success:

The first way is to be kind.

The second way is to be kind.

The third way is to be kind.

--Fred Rogers

Do you smell somethin'?

Benjamin Franklin once said, "Fish and visitors smell after three days."

Hope we're not gettin' too stinky!!

I guess technically we're not really visitors, though. More like temporary residents. Is that the same thing?

Quote for the Day

"What makes resisting temptation difficult for many people is that they don't want to discourage it completely."

--Benjamin Franklin

The Virtue of Patience

I came across this quote the other day and it made me laugh!

"If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life."
--Oscar Wilde

Obviously I laughed because I can relate. On a patience scale of 1 to 10 I might give myself a 5 depending on the circumstances of course. I believe I am more patient now than I was 5 years ago, though. God has used 3 babies who've cried alot to bring me to the halfway mark!! I still have a long way to go! In fact right now our family is in the midst of waiting on God for something and my patience is wearing thin!

Reflections: Busyness

"For most of us, our greatest fear is running out of time. So we hurry through life trying desperately to get everything done: working overtime, eating fast food in the car, racing down the freeway. In our quest to save time, we're losing something." --Luci Swindoll
