Was sitting in church Sunday listening to folks 'witnessing' (my denomination calls it bearing their testimonies), and had these thoughts pop in my head.  Organized them into senryus.

Don't live in the past. Try to do better today; Plan for tomorrow. Love all, harm no one. Pay attention to details-- Little things matter. Believe in something, Someone, greater than yourself. Follow their examples. Turn the other cheek-- Don't let others reduce you; Patiently persist. Go forward with faith. Don't let obstacles stop you. Walk towards the light.
