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.
