The good and the bad we do.

I was listening to Mike Huckabee talk the other day and he said, "When we do good things, good things happen to us. When we do bad things, bad things happen to us." What a great simple truth, but let me carry it one step further. When you do or say something bad to someone, they will tell at least ten people what a jerk you are. When you do or say something good to someone, probably they won't tell anyone. So just to keep people's opinion of you neutral, you have to do ten times as much good as you do bad. So strive to always do good. So when you do slip up and do or say something bad, others will know its just a slip up. Its not the real you.

Roses

Does it upset you that roses have thorns or are you happy that thorns have roses among them? See the positive. There is beauty everywhere!
