"Being
miserable is a habit; being happy is a habit; and the choice is yours."
~Tom Hopkins
"To everything there is a season, and a time to
every purpose under heaven." ~Ecclesiastes 3:1
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David
a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." ~Luke 2:11
"Show
kindness through your face, your eyes, your smile, and through the warmth of
your greetings. Don't only give your care, but give your heart as
well." ~Mother Teresa
"Anger blows
out the candle of the mind." ~R.G. Ingersoll
"You can't live a perfect day without doing
something for someone who will never be able to repay you." ~John Wooden
"I like
not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved." ~George Eliot
What a great time of year when we have an opportunity to
think less of ourselves and to think more of someone else.
I remember Stephen Covey telling a story about a man who
came up to him at a break in one of his workshops asking how he could generate
love for his wife and in his marriage once again. The gentleman explained how
there was no love left in their marriage whatsoever. Covey said, "Love
her." Once again the gentleman explained "There is no love, in fact
there is not even any feeling of love left at all." Covey taught a
powerful principle that love is a verb, something that we choose to do and show
through action. The feeling of love is the product of showing love and comes
after we take action. In her book The Secret Rhonda Byrne describes love
as one of the most powerful emotions and forces that exists in human life.
What is the purpose of love and giving in your
life? What is the purpose of the Season?
