Thought for the Week
It’s true for all of us, isn’t it? There are times we take action without listening, react without thinking, spend without earning, criticize without waiting, pray without forgiving, quit without trying.
So here’s a thought: Let’s not do that. Let’s make sure we know what’s good and what’s true, and then let’s live it. Let’s be models for others of how things could be, how they should be.
Let’s do it better this time.
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” ~Rumi
“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.” ~Albert Einstein
“I ask not for any crown
But that which all may win;
Nor try to conquer any world
Except the one within.”
~Louisa May Alcott
“For what does it profit a person to gain the whole world and lose their soul?”
~Mark 8:36
Yep. It’s possible.
Tattoo on my right forearm: James 1:19-20. Be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger for your anger does not produce God’s righteousness.
Wise choice, my friend.
AMEN. Thank you, Mitch.

Good post. Some food for thought.
Great post and wise advice, Mitch! Also love the Rumi quote!
Me too, Peggy.
Aren’t we lucky our leaders follow this advice?????
I seem to detect a note of sarcasm here, Geoff.
Love this
Very true!
These are some interesting quotes, Mitch.
I liked the Einstein quote a lot. “The point is to understand”, many people are missing this realisation at the present.
