Do We, as a People, Remember How to Be “Civil”?

What were you taught? I was taught to be polite. What have you learned? I learned to be respectful. What were you asked to do? I was asked to be helpful.

Tolerance with Trust Let us be tolerant of differences. Let us trust we all are learning and healing and growing up. Let us remember we were taught to behave and think and speak differently.

Honesty with Gentleness Let us tell the truth with kindness. Let us be honest with forgiveness. Let us remind ourselves that we all have much to learn.

Patience with Open-Mindedness Let us allow life to flow as we awaken together. Let us teach and learn without prejudging. Let us respect the natural process of letting go and creating anew.

Joy with Gratitude Let us celebrate our Goodness. Let us be glad we are all here together. Let us fully appreciate the Wonder of the Earth we share.

Faithfulness with Wisdom Let us have faith in the Inner Wisdom that guides us. Let us follow the principles we believe in. Let us be confident in the intrinsic Unity of Humanity.

Generosity with Respect Let us give our best to everyone. Let us give and receive what is good for all. Let us contribute respecting the gift, the giver and the receiver.

Love with Peace Let us value one another. Let us share our thoughts and words peacefully. Let us love one another as we want to be loved.

Let us choose to be polite, reasonable and respectful with one another.

Do It Anyway by Kent M. Keith

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy it all overnight. Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Life is for giving. Love is the gift. I live in Love. I give with Love.

Blessings for remembering to be Love. Betty Lue
