1. TODAY I WILL NOT STRIKE BACK:
If someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is unkind...
I will not respond in a like manner.
If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, I will
quietly ask God to bless that individual. I understand the "enemy"
could be a family member, neighbor, co-worker, or a stranger.
I will carefully choose and guard my words being certain that I do
not spread gossip.
I will find ways to help share the burden of another person.
I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way.
BUT I WILL NOT DO IT SECRETLY:
I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another.
TREATED:
I will practice the golden rule - "Do unto others as I would have
them do unto me" - with everyone I encounter.
DISCOURAGED:
My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the
difference to someone who is wrestling life.
I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank God for my
body.
I will spend a little more time in prayer today: I will begin reading
something spiritual or inspirational today; I will find a quiet place
(at some point during the day)!
