MAKING MERRY.....

I HAVE BEEN  VERY LUCKY THROUGH THE 87 YEARS I HAVE BEEN ON EARTH......I STARTED OUT WITH A CALENDER SUGGESTING ONE GOOD THING TO DO EACH DAY TILL CHRISTMAS....SUCH A CHALLENGE FOR THIS OLD LADY....BUT HOW HARD IS IT TO BE KIND ...,SAY THANK YOU AND PLEASE.....LET SOME ONE IN FRONT OF YOU IN LINE AT A STORE OR ON THE ROAD?  GIVE NEIGHBORS COOKIES ETC. IF I CAN DO IT ALL MONTH.....WHY NOT FOREVER?

WE WILL NEVER CHANGE THE WORLD.....BY GOING TO CHURCH.....LIVE EACH DAY AS IF JESUS WAS WATCHING AND LISTENING TO YOU....YOU NEED NOT BE IN THE CHURCH...NO DON'T LET A BUILDING, CHURCH OR TEMPLE CONTROL YOUR FAITH....YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE THE WORLD BY BEING A CHURCH GOER....'you need to be the church"......THIS WAS MY FATHER'S VIEW POINT AND THERE WAS NEVER A BETTER FATHER.....HUSBAND.....FRIEND OR NEIGHBOR THAN DAD!
