Your Mental Attitude - Good Old Joe

In every circle of human relations there is usually a person about whom we affectionately say: “He’s a good Joe.” We usually mean that Joe is the fellow who comes through with the right gift at the right time, who has the right word of comfort or cheer for the occasion, who is the first to put forth the little extra effort that makes projects more successful, who can be counted on for the unselfish donation or the unsolicited act of thoughtfulness or service. We usually take “good old Joe” and his generosity for granted and feel a little guilty that we haven’t said or thought of or done those things ourselves.

All of us admire generosity - preferably in others - we pay our sincere respects to those who go “Beyond the call of duty” in daily routine and in discharging obligations...

Generosity is service - the rent we pay for our room on earth. It is quiet giving a little extra to our job, our family, and our com­munity. Generosity is faith - it is knowing that our reward can come from satisfaction in doing a kindness, being courteous, and in giving the other fellow the benefit of the doubt. When he was president, Thomas Jefferson was urged to answer his malicious critics. His reply was “Since I am right and they are misinformed,
I can do no better than be generous to them,” and he did not answer them unkindly...

Success in life, above all, comes from being generous with ourselves.
If we aim high, have patience, believe in ourselves,
and put forth a little extra effort,
our rewards will come in extra measure.

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier or National Guardsman
Feel alone or forgotten.
Please guide the people of Free Republic to
The FR Canteen Post Office
So they can e-mail a service man or woman today.
AMEN

Lord, Please Bless Our Troops, they're fighting for our Freedom.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic, for which it stands;
one nation UNDER GOD,
indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

Prayers going up.

Twenty Third Psalm

The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green Pastures,
he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake,

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me, thy rod and staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies: thou anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
