The final quote on friendship for the week is also good advise – it was coined by Henry Ward Beecher who said, “Every man should have a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends.”
I would say that we can double the cemetery and also bury the faults of our families as well. – Looking on the positive side – that’s the way to live!
Friday story
George Washington and General Lafayette were walking together one morning when they were greeted on their path by a slave. The old man paused, tipped his hat and said, “Good mo’nin’, Gen’l Washin’ton.”
Immediately, George Washington removed his hat, bowed, and answered, “Good morning to you, and I hope you have a pleasant day.”
General Lafayette was shocked, but when he recovered his composure, he exclaimed, “Why did you bow to a slave?”
Washington Smiled and replied, “I would not allow him to be a better gentleman than I.”
Gentleness is a character trait that results from the indwelling Spirit of God in our lives. Consider this approach in evaluating yourself as a gentleperson:
G – Gracious and good
E – Engaging, willing to listen
N – Nice to others, regardless of who they are
T – Taking the time to move at another’s pace
L – Loving
E – Endearing by acts of kindness and goodwill
Be gentle with people today – you can!
