~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS:
Real friends are those who, when you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel you've done a permanent job.

~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS:
OTHERS
Lord help me live from day to day
In such a self-forgetful way
That even when I kneel to pray
My prayer shall be for others.
Help me in all the work I do
To ever be sincere and true,
And know that all I'd do for you
Must needs be done for others.
Let "self" be crucified and slain
And buried deep, and all in vain
May efforts be to rise again,
Unless to live for others.
And when my work on earth is done
And my new work in heaven's begun
May I forget the crown I've won
While thinking still of others
Others, Lord, yes, others;
Let this my motto be.
Help me to live for others,
That I may live like Thee.
From a song in "Favorites #4"

~~~~~~~ KEEP SMILING:
My high-school daughter loved biology, particularly dissection. When I suggested that she consider becoming a doctor, she surprised me by announcing, "I want to be a coroner." "Why would you choose that?" I asked. "Well," she replied, "I want to operate on people, but I don't want their lives to depend on it."
