Okay, okay, I should be winding down, but it is after 12:00 a.m., and I am still awake, but my two night owls are fast asleep. I guess you can say t'was the night before Friday, not a creature was stirring not even a mouse. LOL
Picture of my two favorite people who make me smile: Mark and Sheldon enjoying some quality time together. The green stroke around the picture and the Starbucks notation are quite cute.
Dad, your guiding hand on my shoulder will remain with me forever. ~Author Unknown

The Act of Charity
"Be generous invest in acts of charity. Charity yields high returns. (Ecclesiastes 11:1) When you consider "charity" your mind is drawn to donating money to worthy cause. By investing in a cause you deem worthwhile, you reap bountiful benefits. However, have you ever thought about investing your time and energy into your fellow friend? Can you show "kindness and tolerance in judging others" even when you feel that they do not meet up to your expectations? It is far too easy to criticize, but it takes a wiser, prudent person to refrain from criticism and simply observe the potential in someone. Any fool can expel large quantities of critcism, but a true visionary will see the exemplary traits in someone. "Not he who has much is rich, but he who gives much." (Fromm, Erich) Giving is not just monetary but it includes what you have to say about people. Give many words of encouragement and refrain from a detailed, critical assessment of someone and your life will be enriched! “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” (Sir Winston Churchill)

Wow, What A Flower
Just browsing the various blogs when I saw this picture on Sis. Buxton's blog, and I just had to post it along with this quote:
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable. (Joseph Addison)
As the sunday school song goes, "Smile awhile and give your face a rest . . .." Smiling only takes a quick second, but it's effects will linger for quite sometime. Life is too short to wear a frown, SMILE. :)
