Recipe For Improved Life

Recipe For Improved Life

One change a month
In a period of a year
One will surely rejoice
Being delighted with choice

Kindness
Start with one act of kindness
To the ones closest to you
Deeds of kindness in lieu of stew

Good Deeds
Do one good deed each day
To the ones you love
Know you'll receive blessings from above

Patience
Strive to be more patient
Stop and think before respond
Bite your tongue anger won't be spawned

Anger
Work on anger control
Think before you react
Remember treat one's family with tack!

A noble advice is always great, Your admonition is valuable, I feel rejuvenated, Surely it will be gladly implemented.

Smile ˜ Douglas Coupland's, 'Life After GOD' ˜ "Now here is my secret: I tell it to you with an openness of heart that I doubt I shall ever achieve again .... My secret is that I need GOD to help me give, because I no longer seem capable of giving; to help me be kind, as I no longer seem capable of kindness; to help me love, as I seem beyound being able to love." ˜ Psalm 42 * 'As The Deer Pants For The Water Brooks, So Pants My Soul For YOU, O GOD.' ˜ And, "I Can Do All Things Through, YOU, Whom Strengthens me." ˜ Smile, This Is A Very Beautiful Poem With A Very Beautiful Message, My Dear Precious & Beautiful Sara ˜ My Love to You, Always & Forever, John!:) ˜

A great didactic, dear Sara! I'm still working on a couple of these, mostly the patience. They say it comes with age, but I'm still waiting. LOL...thanks for sharing these wise words. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, Rhonda

Rhonda, When my children were small, I would pray dear Lord please help me to have patience..Then my pastor said if I prayed for patience then God would sent trials until patience developed in my life..I do believe that our patience gets better as we grow older..I think that is a correct understanding..
