Not mine, but I like it
This one's from Neale Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations with God series of books:
On this day of your life, Dear Friend,
I believe God wants you to know......that on this day will you have an opportunity
to attend your own campaign.You are invited by life to elect yourself
a Spiritual Leader, and to take office today.
What does a spiritual leader say?
A spiritual leader does not say, "Follow me."
A spiritual leader says, "I'll go first."Decide today to take the oath:
I promise to "go first" in demonstrating
forgiveness, compassion, understanding,
generosity, kindness, cheerfulness,
positivity, and love.

What a fascinating thought! I love it. I\'ll go first. It\'s not a matter of coercing others to follow, but simply to be a model of good. I needed to hear that today. Much love. Heather.
Thanks Jack . You\'re a pretty tuned in guy.Great journal. Beautiful advice.After all that is really where it\'s at. Making spiritual growth by developing all those qualitites you mentioned.That is the way to go.
Sorry you are so low in energy after just a short outing.I fully understand.I am in bed lying down as I type to you.Been awake nearly all night as I had to stop the sleeping tabs as they are doing my head in.Side effects just too much. Today is my husband\'s birthday and I\'m trying my best not to cry as he looks after me again.Wish I could take him out for lunch. Rest up Jack.Love to you brother.xo
Oops I\'m so exhausted that I replied to your two different journals here.Mixed together .What am I doing ???? Lol!!
That\'s actually very efficient of you, Di. :-D
Thanks. I try to keep my eye on the reality of life, esp. when life\'s reality seems so hard.
I\'m glad you both enjoyed the piece. Love to you both. xoxo
That\'s beautiful! I love it!
Well, that\'s supposed to be a Gmail smiley-face.
:-D
Oh, that is beautiful---a new slant on the Golden Rule.
:-D Glad you like it! Hugs,
