Recipe for a Meaningful Life

I will do more than belong -- I will participate.
I will do more than care -- I will help.
I will do more than believe -- I will practice.
I will do more than be fair -- I will be kind.
I will do more than forgive -- I will love.
I will do more than earn -- I will enrich.
I will do more than teach -- I will serve.
I will do more than live -- I will grow.
I will do more than be friendly -- I will be a friend.

Think and pray on this, and then act!

Author unknown, but it seems to be based on a William Arthur Ward quote.

Another great Easy Recipe

Love At Home

There is beauty all around
When there's love at home.
There is joy in every sound
When there's love at home.

Roses bloom beneath our feet,
All the earth is a garden sweet,
Making life a bliss complete,
When there's love at home.

-- John Hugh McNaughton (1829-1891)
