Remind Me

Remind me what often I do regret Humility is a virtue ne’er to forget, For the less I know, to avoid a call Seems pride still goes before a fall, And when I think all my answers fit I realize all too often not a single bit, Help me to remember I’m a man Going through life the best I can!

That is so true, Caren. Always true. If we give it our best, that is all we can do.

Well, OK: You're a man, Milt. Now, stop trying to do two things at once, will you?! ~ Gerald Ford (Oops, stumbled again)

Hmmm...are you suggesting I cannot walk and chew gum at the same time? Oh, well...maybe I'll try bubble gum and jogging, gw.

Wow Milton, this is heartfelt and sincere. A self examination without bias. Your words are a realization that anyone with an honest truth realizes. I applaud you for your courage in sharing. God bless you for helping us realize this truth in ourselves...

Wonderfully penned! The last line stays it all, we are all going through different problems in life and trying to have a break through. But God is always guiding our way and trying to make us the most authentic self.
