Something To Remember

In my studying of pride and humility this week, I've been reading a lot of the Old Testament, mostly 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel. Whew...this is tough on a New Testament girl!! Anyway, I wanted to share something you've all read before, but it is worth remembering. Here goes...

People are often unreasonable and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.

Be Kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you.

Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.

Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.

It was never between you and them anyway.

Mother Teresa

And the most important thing to remember? The "people" she speaks of? That means us too!

Be blessed and "never tire of doing what is right." (2 Thess. 3:13)
