I found a small, plastic card in my wallet that I have been carrying around for 30 + years. I want to share the message with you.
The title is: “LET ME DO GOOD NOW”
I shall pass through this world but once. Any good that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
I do not know the author as it was not listed, but what a wonderful message. Just think of how much better this world would be if we all lived by this.
While we are here, I’d like to share another message with you. You are possibly already familiar with this but just a reminder:
“SERENITY PRAYER”
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
I have this on a small plaque that I keep over my kitchen sink. This way I am reminded of this important message several times a day. I don’t know about you, but I seem to need reminding!
