We must stress that the basis for our faith is neither experience nor emotion but the truth as God has given it in verbalized, prepositional form in the Scripture and which we first of all apprehend with our minds.

BLESSED are they who attain parenthood, for children are a heritage of the Lord.
 
BLESSED are they who remember to thank God for their food before they partake of it, and who set apart some time each day for the reading of the Bible and for prayer.

*+* Do Good Anyway *+*
 
People are often unreasonable, illogical, 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 false friends and some true enemies -
Succeed anyway.
 
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you -
Be honest and frank anyway.
 
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight -
Build anyway.
 
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous -
Be happy anyway.
 
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow -
Do good anyway.
 
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough -
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
 
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God -
It never was between you and them anyway.
