Thursday, April 2, 2009, by Leigh Anne & Sherra

Three things related to our word of the month…or three random things we thought of while we were shopping, driving, sleeping…well, you get the idea. The only thing we can guarantee is that Sherra thinks in threes and she insisted we do this on Thursday. She’s bossy like that.

To be kind, decent people, who care about others more than they do themselves. There will always be someone who is having a better day than you are and someone who is having a worse day. To try to do the right thing, work hard, no one owes you anything and to be happy!

They turned out to be really great people, and I am very proud of them!~

That it doesn’t take much to make someone’s day. Just be nice.

That being perfect is a stupid goal. Just try to be better.

That we can and should learn something new every day.

Do the right thing – even when no one is looking
Be kind
A good life is work

1.Your friends will come and go, but your family will always be your family-invest in those relationships accordingly.
2.Character is what you do when no one is watching.
3.An education is something that you obtain over a lifetime, not in a time frame.

Avoid debt–live within your means
Love your spouse–Friday night dates are necessary
Acts 10:38…..he went about doing good….

Money doesn’t grow on trees, so save wisely
“The Lord’s Prayer”
Things aren’t always as they appear

Give of yourself

The light in your life comes in,
one conscious breath at a time.

You make your own Happiness

1. Learn how to forgive

2. Help someone in need.

3. Don’t judge others

Everybody has a story and something that has been or is a trial in their lives. We generally don’t know all the details – so we should be very careful about our opinions and advice.

Just wanted to say what amazing, sage words everyone has shared about lessons we can teach at home. Thinking we should compile them for a book or poster for kids’ rooms…thanks to all the wise women who have shared so far. Keep them coming!
