My Mission Statement

I'll be as kind as I can be, practicing sincerity.
I'll do my best at what I'm best at doing,
but what I can't do well, I won't be ruing!

May everyone find thier way in life. So that they don't spend it living in strife. And may the peace of God help them to not feel so odd.

I really like this Andrea. Well said. I totally agree. No sense rueing the inabilities when you have other abilities you are good at. We are all good at something so concentrate on that. Great job. /God Bless, JB

I read a book once that had the character trying to love God more than her children. I thought that would be really hard as my children were small and I couldn't see how I could love even God more than they. So i have been trying ever since. Your Mission station is grand and humble at the same time. Love, Joyce
