I'm a wanna..be

I want to..... never give up.
I want to care more for others than for self.
I don't want to desire what I don't have.
I don't want to strut, Or have a swelled head,
I don't want to force myself on others,
I don't want to always be "me first,"
I don't want to fly off the handle,
I don't want to keep score of the sins of others,
I don't want to revel when others grovel,
I want to take pleasure in the flowering of truth,
I want to put up with anything,
I want to trust God always,
I want to always looks for the best,
I never want to look back,
I want to keep going to the end.

(A Momma paraphrase of The Message I Corthians 13:4-7)

Point to ponder

I recently watched a tv interview with Augie Nieto.
Augie is a very successful business man who has ALS.
He was speaking with some youth who were asking for life advice.
He stated:

"Life is a theater. There are a limited number of seats. Choose well in who you let inside your theater. Be especially careful who sits in your front row."

Powerful.
