Good morning, all. My favorite Bible came back and found this snipping amongst its pages so it's now taped to the inside cover and thought I'd share it as well.
TEN COMMANDMENTS ON HOW TO GET ALONG WITH PEOPLE
1. Keep skids on your tongue. Always say less than you think. How you say it often counts more than what you say.
2. Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully no matter what it costs you.
3. Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind word and encouraging thing to or about someone.
4. Be interested in others, their pursuits, their homes and families, their welfare. Let everyone you meet, however, humble, feel that you regard him as one of importance.
5. Be cheerful. Hide your pains, worries, and disappointments under a smile.
6. Preserve an open mind onall debatable questions. It's a mark of a superior mind to disagree but yet to remain friendly.
7. Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for themselves, and refuse to talk of other's vices. Discourage gossip. Make it a rule to say nothing of another unless it is something good.
8. Be careful of another's feelings. Wit and humour at another's expense are hardly worth the effort, and may hurt where least expected.
9. Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you. Simply live so that nobody will believe them.
10. Don't be too anxious about your duties. Do your work. Be paatient and kind, and keep your disposition sweet. Forget yourself and you will be rewarded.

All around you, people will be tiptoeing through life, just to arrive at death safely. But dear children, do not tip toe. Run, hop, skip, or dance, just don't tip toe."
Some levity. . .
