Thought For The Day
Good Morning,___________________. This is ____________________ with a few words of wisdom. November’s theme continues to deal with “Giving/Generosity”. Often we do deeds in the hope that someone will notice and praise, or pay attention to us. However, the screen writer Frank Clark reminds us that: Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out. -Frank Clark. Remember, you want to give and do good deeds because it is the right thing to do, not because you expect something in return. With something to think about, this is _____________________. Make it a great day.
