Good advice that is ever so nice

Here's this week's Bible reflection -

(with some apologies to Dr. Seuss)

Keep your love real – not fake, or pretend
Hold on to what’s good – and make a new friend

Have a contest about being nice to each other
Serve God and work hard for a sister and brother

Be happy in hope, and when bad things come your way
Pray and pray and pray and pray

When folks are so nasty, bless them – forever
No planning a way to hurt anyone ever

When smiles are around you smile too – really try
And when tears are around it’s OK to cry

No better or worse than any – don’t keep score
Make friends with folks others just tend to ignore

Do you best to be kind and gentle and pleasant
Don’t try to get back at someone who isn’t

If you’re nice to an enemy – giving food or a drink
It will first turn them mad – then happy, I think

Take this advice – don’t get into a rut
Find a way to do good – no matter what
