The Man In The Glass
Below is a poem from many years ago....
it is timeless and relevant more today
than ever before....just watch the 'political' circus on TV,
the 'stars' of today, and any 'award' show extravaganza.....
Author Anonymous...
The Man/Woman.....In The Glass
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself
And see what THAT man has to say.
For it isn't your father or mother or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass,
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people might think you're a straight-shootin' chum
And call you a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest
For he's with you clear to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous test
If the guy in glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.....

A Happy Home...
Recently I was reading a very old devotional book called....Captured by Mystery....
I was blessed by the writing of A Happy Home.....The words were very simple....and true...
I present them now to you and ask ....Do YOU want....or do YOU have....
A Happy Home...
When a home fails, the tragedy is so great because the promise was so vast.
For nothing on earth can compare with.....A Happy Home.
Rarely is a home happy by....sheer accident.
People must work to make it so.
The man (or woman) who has disciplined himself all day in the office
cannot revert to a heedless and shiftless life at home -
not if he wants a happy home...
Here, if anywhere, the virtues of patience, love and trust
must come into their finest play.
It takes a lot of.....LOVE.
Self-indulgence and self-pity are powerful centrifugal forces
tearing apart the very fabric of a home...
Where in love each member of the home,
father, mother, and child, is alert to give loving service to
the other.....there one finds...."heaven on earth."
It takes a lot of patience.
Nowhere do people live so close;
nowhere do people threaten so to collide.
A home should be the haven for the relaxed, uninhibited life.
It can be a place of unrestrained joy only if each member
accepts with patience the rights and peculiarities of the other...
It takes a lot of.....trust.
Jealousy, suspicion, and distrust are mortal foes of a happy home.
It is far better for each to trust too much....than too little.
And it takes.....faith.
Nor is faith in one another enough.
All must be held together in an encompassing faith in God,
the author and giver of all the graces and gifts of....
a happy home.....

Don't Forget!
Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry,
the philosophy which does not laugh,
and the greatness which does not bow before children.

What are you thinking???
Don’t spend your life trying to make right decisions;
…invest your life in RIGHT THINKING and the decisions made
WILL BE RIGHT…..

Blame Game
A man is NEVER a failure....until....he blames someone else...
An admission of error is a sign of STRENGTH rather than a weakness…
