GUIDELINES FOR DAILY LIVING


Rejoice forevermore
Pray without ceasing
In everything give thanks
Doing good to all
Speaking evil of no one
Hearing all sides before deciding
Thinking before speaking
Withholding an angry tongue
Asking forgiveness for all wrongs
Forgiving others
Being patient towards all
Disbelieving evil reports
Praying for those who despitefully use you


SAYINGS


Love and forgiveness is Christianity in action.
God loves to work when nothing and no one else will.
The law says “I have to” 
Love says “I want to” 
Grace says “I can and I will”


Happy Reading & Daily Living!
