Day 17: A Quote You Try To Live By Well, there are several. I tried to find some scriptures that relate to how I strive for compassion and patience, but ran out of patience hunting them. So I went to my Pinterest quote board, aptly named “I Do Declare!”. Most of them don’t have an author noted, but here are a few that you can say I live by: Be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons Start each day like it’s your birthday Speak the truth even if your voice shakes {LOVE} Go ahead, underestimate me. Some days you have to create your own sunshine Be BOLD or italic never regular. And the one that’s been taped to my computer at work for years: All of us could learn a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. ~Devon Stutzman That’s all I’ve got for you today…
I don’t understand the concept of entitlement. For example, commending someone for not stealing. Almost every day, someone comes to the counter to pay for some bolts. Some of them can get fairly expensive, as far as bolts go, & it never fails that someone says, “I could’ve stuck these in my pocket, you would have never known.” While that’s true, the Good Lord would know. And it’s wrong. I’m not going to thank you for not stealing. If you’ll steal a bolt, you’ll steal a car. I could set the Co-op on fire, too, but I choose not to do so. It’s wrong. What the heck?! 11-17-15 11:16 am…
