Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."



When someone is abrupt or makes a rude remark,

Try not to be embarrassed; he's stumbling in the dark.

For the system that's keeping tabs on us is checking to be sure

That we get back just what we give,

Be it tainted or be it pure.


Action is a magic thing that circles all around,

Picks up bits of power from heaven and from the ground.

Try as you may, you can't escape the price you have to pay

It keeps the world in balance

And working another.


So when you plan your future, keep these thoughts in mind:

The world keeps turning right on time,

It's man who gets behind.

The deeds you do are the seeds you sow, and words are poweful too.

The things you send out in the world

Come whirling back to you.

Alma Carr


At a time in our history when there is a crucial need for dedicated persons to lend a hand to help our neighbors, who, in so many cases are frustrated and disillusioned at the multiple problems of today, it is gratifying to now that many good hearted people are trying to render service.

Coming home from volunteering at the hospital one evening, it was that time of day when visibility was poor. I misjudged the distance of the island on my left which I hit causing a blow-out in the left tire. I immediately made my way over to the side of the road. A stranger seeing my problem and my distress offered to help. He put the reserve tire on my car so I was able to drive home. He would not give me his name - he called himself a good Samaritan.

A person's true value is his good deed to his fellowman. We need to listen to a person's cries for help that are spoken indirectly. Kindness is something that everyone can give to others...a gift that everyone can afford. A wise man once said that kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together. Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which kindnesses are give.

Someone has said: "No one is so rich that he does not need an other's help. No one is so poor as not to be useful in some way to his fellow man. " The disposition to accept assistance from others with confidence and to grant it with kindness is part of our own nature. The amazing truth of the matter is that, given the opportunity to do the right thing, human beings are still capable of much love and goodness. The world's wisest people generally agree that deeds speak more eloquently than words. No matter what a man's resolutions, or his profession, it is by one's deeds that he is to be judged both by God and man.

I read this somewhere: Look on little deeds as great, on account of Christ, who dwells in us, and watches our life; look on great deeds as easy, on account of His great power.


Helping another is a virtue

It's uplifting, we all know;

But we also should remember

It gives ourselves an inner glow.
