At the end of my print reading earlier this morning:
Love thyself last. Look near, behold thy duty
To those who walk beside thee down life’s road.
Make glad their days by little acts of beauty
And help them bear the burden of earth’s load. —Wilcox

And from my online reading:
“I’m holding one more broken piece from the edifice of pride I’ve tended around my ego….” —Tony Woodlief
“The mistake he sometimes made was in attempting to mandate others to be like him….” —Marvin Olasky
“Came away grateful despite all his sadness and torments….” (Olasky still writing about Calvin)
“Uh. . . what exactly does it mean if an oven is self-cleaning?” —Matt Smucker
I think people of peace often feel that they are not useful. I’m sure that people within the conflict often suspect that those attempting to be peacemakers don’t fully understand the conflict. When peace is always on your mind, when it is the thing you’re striving for, can you truly understand the language of those who are prolonging the conflict? —Will Loewen
What has you reflecting?
Love thyself last………Oh God give me strength to do just that! I’m having to take total care of my Mother, move in with her….give up my time and space. I needed that quote..although it is a painful exposure of my selfishness.
