Our life group will meet Wednesday , May 4th, 6:30pm at the Bell's home. Last week we had some lively discussion around two questions Dr. Stan asked [1] What is the main message of the Gospel, and [2] What do you do when you are spiritually dry?
The last question in particular led us into a discussion of the spiritual disciplines, and that's where Dr. Stan is planning to resume the discussion. Hope to see you there!

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

"It was never between you and them anyway..." - such a good reminder. :) ♥♥♥
