Worthiness Is A Process, And Perfection Is

We Should Teach, Particularly Ourselves, That Nobody Is A Nobody. We Are Someone, And With God's Help We Can Accomplish All Things.

A Willingness To Practice Patience. Patience In Communication Is That Certain Ingredient Of Conduct We Hope Others Will Exhibit Toward Us When We Fail To Measure Up. Our Own Patience Is Developed When We Are Patient With Others.

It Takes Personal Sacrifice To Communicate When Conditions Are Right For The Other Person-during The Meal Preparation, After A Date, A Hurt, A Victory, A Disappointment, Or When Someone Wants To Share A Confidence. One Must Be Willing To Forego Personal Convenience To Invest Time In Establishing A Firm Foundation For Family Communication. When Communication In The Family Seems To Be Bogging Down, Each Individual Should Look To Himself For The Remedy.

Certainly One Of Our God-given Privileges Is The Right To Choose What Our Attitude Will Be In Any Given Set Of Circumstances. We Can Let The Events That Surround Us Determine Our Actions-or We Can Personally Take Charge And Rule Our Lives, Using As Guidelines The Principles Of Pure Religion. Pure Religion Is Learning The Gospel Of Jesus Christ And Then Putting It Into Action. Nothing Will Ever Be Of Real Benefit To Us Until It Is Incorporated Into Our Own Lives.

A Friend In The True Sense Is Not A Person Who Passively Nods Approval Of Our Conduct Or Ignores Improper Behavior. A Friend Is A Person Who Cares.
