Thought For The Day
Good Morning,___________________. This is ____________________ with a few words of wisdom. November’s theme continues to deal with “Giving/Generosity”. Mother Teresa was a nun, who devoted her entire life to helping those who were suffering around the world. She saw the good in all people, and gave everything she had to help them. Through all that she had learned: Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Give them kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, and kindness in your smile.
-Mother Teresa. Simply giving your kindness to someone can brighten their day when everything else in their world seems to be dark. Make a conscious effort to be kind to everyone. With something to think about, this is _____________________. Make it a great day.
