The outdoor chapel was beautiful this morning for worship. Our Vacation Bible School children sang songs they learned this past week in VBS and we had a report on our annual conference at Lakeside. God was in our worship. The following is a reading from Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church in Saratoga, California and something worth repeating:
Be understanding of your enemies.
Be loyal to your friends.
Be striong enough to face the world each day.
Be weak enough to know you cannot do everything alone.
Be generous to those who need your help.
Be frugal with what you need for yourself.
Be open enough to believe in miracles.
Be willing to share your joys.
Be eager to share the sorrows of others.
Be a leader when you see a path others have missed.
Be a follower when you are shrouded by the mists of uncertainty.
Be the first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds.
Be the last to criticize a colleague who fails.
Be sure where your next step will fall, so that you will not stumble.
Be sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way.
Be loving to those who love you.
Be loving to those who do not love you, and they may change.
But above all, be yourself. Have a blessed week. Diana
