Seeking to be kind and find peace.

Excerp from "The Imitation of Christ" Author Thomas A Kempis page 21 Chapter 4-On being prudent in what we accept and do 1. It is not good to be taken in by every word or impulse that comes our way, but consider the thing prudently and thoughtfully in order not to offend God. Because we are frail we are always ready to believe the worst of people. Those who seek perfection realize that human nature is weak and prone to spread the evil work. 2. It is wise, therefore, to act slowly, not to trust intirely our own opinions, or to accept every tale and quickly pass it along to the next one. Seek advice from a wise person of good conscience and be instructed by that person rather than follow your own way. A good life will make you wise in the ways of God and will broaden your experience. If you are humble and submissive to GOD'S will, you will have peace in all you do. I know that I am guilty of this, and now working to improve!! By God's Grace. Martha
