Fill-Your-Cup Friday: The Rule of Three


Recently I read a short little piece entitled, “A Rule of Three.” I think you will agree with its sentiments.

Three things to govern:
            Temper, Tongue, Conduct

Three things to cultivate:
            Courage, Affection, Gentleness

Three things to commend:
            Thrift, Industry, Promptness

Three things to despise:
            Cruelty, Arrogance, Ingratitude

Three things to wish for:
            Health, Contentment, Friends

Three things to admire:
            Dignity, Intellectual Power, Gracefulness

Three things to give:
            Alms to the needy, Comfort to the sad, Appreciation to the worthy

And I add on-Things to do:
            Study the word of God, Obey it, Teach it to others

These just make some good resolutions for us to make anytime and for the rest of our lives.
