Todays Thought

This may have been posted before... but it is one of my favorites and is a good reminder for the New Year.

BETWEEN YOU AND GOD

People are often unreasonable,
irrational, 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
unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere,
people may deceive you;
Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating
others could destroy overnight;
Create anyway.

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

The good you do today
will often be forgotten;
Do good anyway.

Give the best you have
and it may never be enough;
Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
I was never between you and them anyway.

Mother Teresa

Have a Blessed New Year!!!

"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good."

Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete. If you're alive, it isn't.
